Learn Tagalog with Greenpinoy
It has been a long time since I’ve posted for Kyou no Nihongo. I should best remedy that soon! While waiting, perhaps you can learn some funny Tagalog expressions in this clip by my sugoi senpai, Greenpinoy. Enjoy!
Stuff I missed
Here are some stuff that I would’ve covered had I not been AWOL for a couple of months: Manga adaptation season enders Two of my favorite manga had their season enders these past two months: Death Note and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. There’s nothing much to say about the former except that the point where the story “jumped the shark” is practically a season ender even if it’s only marked by a recap...
Ongaku Rewind – run-through of the event

One of those bands is the 80’s sensation (and they still are a sensation), The Dawn! I was not able to watch the movie tribute directed by fan Mike Sandejas at the Cinemalaya festival last year and I so vowed to catch a...
