Chanon wants to learn Tagalog for you. Which three sentences will you first teach him and why?
1. Mahal kita. - Need I explain, really? :))
2. Magkano ito? - In case he wants to go shopping, or sightseeing, or whatever. :D
3. Saan yung ______? - In case he wants to go somewhere. :P
Let's say I already live in _________. When I come back to Manila for a visit, where will you take me and why?
Hmmmm. I suppose around Greenbelt or Town, it's the quintessential hangout spot. Plus all our favorite stores are there ;)
If you were to interview a literary character other than those from Love in the Time of Cholera, who would it be, why, and what would you ask them?
It would have to be Ursula Iguaran (Buendia) from One Hundred Years of Solitude, another great work from Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I admired her tenacity, her outliving all three of her children, and seeing quite a number of generations grow. She kept the Buendia family together, even though she contradicts herself by the fear of incest - the extreme of family bonding.
I would ask her how she remained steadfast and what kind of strength it took her to live so long and experience so much conflict and wars, and at the same time love and passion.
