I was at work, on 9/11, all those years ago, and I actually watched it on the TV, it was horrifying.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553319266378782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847447345124723025.post-8696816590140913982008-09-10T11:05:00.000-04:002008-09-10T11:05:00.000-04:00i was still in the philippines during the 9/11 hor...i was still in the philippines during the 9/11 horror, at the school where i taught there, we would form a prayer rally for the victims, survivors and for terrorism to end. every year after that, on 9/11, we would pause for a prayer.<BR/><BR/>the hardest subject for me to learn would you believe is pilipino, being a filipina myself. in the philippines, we are a multi-dialect nation, we are a small nation yet we speak so many different dialects. and coming from a province that does not speak pilipino (or tagalog) which is our national language, having to learn pilipino, english and spanish all at the same time was torturing my young brain. english, being used in the science and math actually was easiest for me to learn, since it is the language which is applied in our other classes. my spanish went to naught :( i can pick up a few, and pilipino i learned it only later when i really matured and worked in a place that speak pilipino. but i know i am poor in grammar, in all languages, english, spanish and pilipino, for my golly, they all have different grammar and construction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
