CEBU - DAVAO: LANGUAGE DIFFERENCE




Though both speak the Cebuano langugae, the people of Davao use the language a little different from Cebu. Also some words from Cebu cannot be understood in Davao. However, both have amazing beaches and people.

The native people of Davao were highland tribes, each tribe is proud of their own heritage and culture and language. However, people from Visayas - mostly Cebuanos settled in Davao. As time goes by, these languages of the highland tribes and Cebuano were developed, creating a language a little unique from its origin.

ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E01 Review

Scrumptious. Agony. Wonderful. Cherry Blossoms. Red Hair. Ugly. Skinny, Freckles. These are some of my fav terms Anne spelled with an "E" used to express herself on the pilot episode of its 1st season. I am delighted, or I should say " Enchante". It truly brought me to the wonders of living on a beautiful farmland like the Green Gable. Actually, I really did not catch where Green Gable is, I heard the word Australia in some of their conversation.

The way she compose every sentence mak...

ROMA 2018 REVIEW

Roma is about a domestic helper and her relationship towards her masters. It portrays realistic concentration on both the help and the masters and their individual relations in love, insecurity, pain, and family. I love the scene when Cleo was serving the family while watching television, she also tried to sit with them. And when one of the children put his arm around Cleo, portraying love and happiness towards the help. Concluding the beautiful scene of masters and “domestic helper" in harmony with a request from one of the children to have some refreshments then follows many more request. Ending with Cleo going to the kitchen while her masters enjoys watching television. Published: February 20, 2019

THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH

The famous painter of The Blue Boy, in 1770, which no one is completely sure who the subject was. Nonetheless, Thomas Gainsborough was a lively, intelligent, and a very generous man. His love for music was superb for he too play several instruments. But, again his first love, his primer amor, even at a young age was drawing. To study art in London, at the age of 14, Gainsborough left the town of Sudbury, England where he was born. He remained in London and tried to earn money and a living via painting. Unfortunately, at this stage of his life, he was unsuccessful. Consequently, he returned to Sudbury where he married Margaret Burr. Although Gainsborough was most interested in landscapes, however like as most of us, we turned to something else sometimes and abandon our dreams and desires for practical things in which we can earn money. His earliest success was achieved with his portraits. In 1760, he moved to the resort own in Bath and before long, he was a very p...
