S.O.S.

October 24, 2007

Somewhere out in the World Wide Web, there’s a site that’s mine (marocharim.com), but it’s completely blank.  I don’t know what to do with it.  I’m one of those people painfully ignorant about HTML, webhosting, and the technicalities of it.

I won the domain in the recently-concluded Wika2007 Blog Writing Contest: as it seems, I’m about the only winner in that contest who has yet to figure out what to do with it, much less get around to do what I’m supposed to do with it.  Matter of fact, I don’t know what to do with it.  Strangely enough, the site was already there for me to take since the last week of September.

I am now on my virtual hands and knees, begging kind-hearted members of the Filipino blogging community to help me out with that site: the only thing I know how to do is to make images in Photoshop.  Drop me a line at my site (marocharim.blogdrive.com) using any of the (in)conveniently-placed contacts there or through Contact Form, and please share with me your valuable knowledge on the matter of starting and running a website.

Thanks in advance.

At home with Joomla!

October 24, 2007

viewpoints-home_page_15x7.jpg

REMEMBER THAT WEBHOSTING PACKAGE that I won at PBS Wika 2007 blog tilt? It has come to life with the help of Joomla. It is an Open Source Content Management System. Honestly, I do not know anything about web development or content management system. So I asked Jared, one of my previous officemates who is now working as Systems Administrator for the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte and is currently based in Dipolog City, and he recommended Joomla.

Chiswisang Baklush en Leksh Edades de Impormasyones:
Ang Gay Lingo sa Panahon ng Impormasyon
ni Miko D. Santos

Panimula
 Hindi lihim sa atin ang malalaking mga pagbabago sa wikang ginagamit nating mga Pilipino sa ating panahon ngayon—ang Panahon ng Impormasyon. Ang papel na ito ay tatalakay sa dalawang magkaugnay na konsepto, ang Panahon ng Impormasyon at ang yumayabong na wika ng mga bading, ang sward language o gay lingo, lahat ay sa konteksto ng Pilipinas. Sa ilang pahinang papel na ito, susubukan kong himayin ang mga pinagmulan, kasaysayan, mga dahilan, mga teorya (personal at reperensyal), at ang kasalukuyang gamit at epekto sa mga Pilipino ng dalawang bagay na ito, lalo na ang kanilang kaugnayan sa isa’t-isa.

Marocharim.com

September 7, 2007

   I was checking my e-mail today when I came across a legitimate e-mail from the good people of PinoyBlogosphere.com notifying me that because I won the Participants’ Choice Award in the recently-concluded Wika2007 Blog Writing Contest, I have the prize of a free domain name and webhosting service for one year.  Yup, the project of Marocharim.com is now a reality.  I’d like to thank everyone who supported me in that cause: the 17 people who voted for my entry, and of course the participants who chose me as their pick to win the contest.

   Yup, Marocharim.com exists.  The only problem is I don’t know how to use HTML.

   My idea for Marocharim.com is not the shameless self-glorification that there is in The Marocharim Experiment.  Basically, I’ll still do my blogging here.  I envision Marocharim.com to be a lot of things:

  • A repository for the things I have written that are still “alive” in my home computer.  This includes everything from term papers, short essays (what I like to call “non-experiments,” constructs, drafts, and so on and so forth.  It’s all a matter of compiling stuff into convenient PDF’s (protected to ensure that nobody passes off any paper I’ve written as his/her own) and such.
  • A repository for the things I have written that are found in those moldy notebooks in my bookshelf.  In retrospect, those scribbles make a lot of sense.  Some kid out there would deem my one-liners to be what Edmund Husserl was to Martin Heidegger (just an example: just because I consider myself Husserlian doesn’t mean that I’m a synoptic extension of Husserl).  Besides, all my best thoughts are written in those notebooks.
  • A repository for the things other people have written that may find a good home in the public space that is the Internet.  Consider those students, faculty members and such who have written so much in the way of great ideas, but don’t have a place to make themselves heard.  Here’s a great chance for them to do so.

   Which brings me to my problem: I don’t know how to use HTML, and I don’t know shat about this “webhosting” thing.  So I’m asking goodwilled bloggers everywhere if you could teach me how to get around having an appealing site for these objectives.  Drop me a line.

   And again, thank you: without you, Marocharim.com would never be a reality.

Blogging: The heart and soul of it

September 6, 2007

iloveblogging.jpg

Almost a traitor
Honestly, I was also thinking about how to make money out of my blog, so I applied at an advertisement site. But sadly, I was not accepted because they think that my blog does not support language translation. I thought that the “culprit” could have been my Wika 2007 entry, so I thought about actually deleting this blog entry. Since I was already deeply engrossed with blogging, I might as well get money from it. After a careful deliberation, and accepting fact that I am not a conformist, and again inspired by Señor Enrique’s comment in my blog, that he is here for service. I do realize that I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about the mundane things about life, and being a Filipino. So the money-making motive is now completely abandoned. Deleting my Wika 2007 entry would also mean I am turning my back from the things I have believe in—to put it more succintly, I would become a traitor to my being a Filipino!

“Matatag na Wika2007″ Update

August 24, 2007

Noong lunes ay sinimulan natin ang Judging period ng ating patimpalak at halos kasabay nito ay nagsimula din ang iba’t ibang mga  reklamo  komento tungkol sa nakasaad sa Mechanics na ang 50% ng kabuuang rating ng mga entries ay manggagaling sa Online Poll.

Sa post ni filipinayzd makikita ang karamihan ng mga komento ng mga kasapi sa patimpalak. Makikita doon ang mga iba-ibang reaction at saloobin ng mga sumali sa contest. Nasundan ito ng post ni Frances tungkol sa kanyang Reflections tungkol sa Online Poll ethics. Sumunod namang nag-post si timlight at inilahad naman nya ang kanyang mga Observations sa judging issues.

Di nagtagal ay sumagot at nag-post na rin ang isa sa mga organizers ng patimpalak na si andianka. Nag-post din si dYu ng kanyang maikling sagot. At ganon din naman ang ginawang pag-post ng isa sa mga sponsors na si shari.

Bilang preparasyon sa gagawing final decision ng mga organizers tungkol sa isyung ito, sinikap nilang hingin ang opinyon ng bawat isa sa 57 na kalahok. Layunin ng organizers na malaman ang kabuuang bilang ng mga kalahok na gustong mabago ang dati nang nakalatag na patakaran. Gusto nilang makita kung dapat nga ba o hindi na baguhin ang mechanics sa kalagitnaan ng judging period.

DONE WITH SILENCE

August 21, 2007

In view of Wika2007:

Some of the participants and non-participants question the aim of this contest; obviously, I don’t think its self-promotion, so scratch that. If you’re going to rant about the poll think twice (I was actually doing this before I read that there had actually been rants and now I realized that it’s still ongoing with it), the poll is just a part of it, so I do hope you have read the part where it states that the other percent comes from our judges. A distinguished panel is going through the entries along the week of the poll itself, more likely, as you read this entry.

Unlike its predecessor, the Kalayaan 2007, this time we made sure that the competition wouldn’t be focused on popularity alone. That’s where the decision of having it on 50-50 basis came in. However, there had been claims (just when it’s too late) that 50% for poll is just a bit too much. Geez! As far as I know, they should’ve read about it even before they submitted their entries in the first place. Also, let us not forget that we did ask for your opinion while we were still deciding about this contest and the mechanics were presented for review before it was officially posted on the contest page. Remember the conference?

Another thing, mind if I remind you of one more thought brought to this poll issue. I bet that you’d agree that being able to register is better than what used to be a click all you want scheme. In short, what you’re getting now is what we thought was the better option… better than the previous one, that is.

Still, to compensate the freedom of speech, we made a couple of suggestions to be responded by the participants to make them decide what to do with the percentage on whether or not the poll be eliminated and place the results instead as a “texter’s choice award” (or in this case, net fave? Pulse award?) sort of idea. The answer now lies in their hand.

Who are the judges? Please be reasonable enough. How could you assume that they could actually be a part of the participants? That would be a little too silly for my taste.

Our Judges identity were withheld for their own security, and might I say for the participants as well. Besides, why worry about it if we will be giving you the names at the end of the competition anyway? Be advised not to focus on the idea that we have experienced bloggers in the panel because those bloggers aren’t necessarily blogging only people. Take note that we also have Filipino and English professors from a highly reputable university in it. Try not to underestimate our judges.

Next:

Just what exactly is wrong with the theme? I guess it all lies on how one perceives it. The truth is: there is nothing wrong with it. How about the contest? Again, if the idea confuses you, it’s not bad at all to ask those who know about it right? Well, I’d still want to answer the raised question regarding the theme…

Reflections on Online Poll Ethics (Wika2007)

August 21, 2007

(Please bear in mind that I will be brutally honest)

Filipinayzd wrote:

The winners of the contest shall be the entries with the highest scores. Fifty percent of an entry’s score shall come from votes from PBS, and the other fifty percent shall be from the panel of judges.

Ang daling makuha ang 50% sa Wika 2007. Kailangan lang gumawa ng maraming accounts sa Pintig Blogosphere at iboto ang sariling entry.

I also had my reservations in joining Wika2007 because I felt that quality (judges’ decision) has the same weight as quantity (online votes). This reminded me of last year’s Metro Manila Film Fest Controversy where Enteng Kabisote surprisingly bagged the Best Picture award, beating the multi-awarded Kasal Kasali Kasalo, partly because 40% depended on box office receipts at the time of the awards. (No offense to Vic Sotto fans! I’m just questioning the MMFF) Read more

Official Entry sa Wika2007

August 18, 2007

Hello mga kaibigan,

Sorry at late ang posting nito… ngayon lang kasi naka-Internet uli matapos ang libong taon… Heto ang official entry ko sa paligsahan… ayon kasi sa rules eh kailangan i-post dito ang ilang bahagi ng sulat, at heto na siya:

Maraming Wika, Matatag Na Bansa
Akda ni Deyey, siya’y di makata
(Simple ang layunin, ng entry na ito
Para Sa Wika2007 itong sinulat ko)

Ang bansang Pilipinas, may iba’t-ibang isla
Alam natin na tayo’y may iba’t-ibang probinsiya
Ito ang dahilan kung ba’t maraming wika
Lahat tayo Pinoy, iba-iba man ang salita

Nakakatuwang isipin na lamang ang Tagalog
Sa lahat ng wika, siya ang nasa tugatog
Pero kahit ganito, masasabi ko sa inyo
Sikat din ang Visaya, Ilonggo at Bicolano

Sa dami ng wika sa iisang bansa
Masarap isiping tayo pa ri’y payapa
Walang yabangan at wala ding gulo
Sa totoo lang meron… silang nasa gobyerno

Basahin ang karugtong nito sa: http://dakilangbum.multiply.com/journal/item/136/Maraming_Wika_Matatag_Na_Bansa

(Iboto niyo na rin… hehehe!)

Inglish Ispiking?

August 18, 2007

Ako si Karla Chan, estudyante ng De La Salle Zobel. Ang paaralan namin ay nasa Muntinlupa City, tulad ng San Beda Alabang.

Araw araw nadadaanan ko ang San Beda, minsan nakakapasok pa ako sa loob dahil sinusundo ko ang pinsan kong nagaaral dito. Nagulat na lang ako ng isang araw eh may nakita akong malaking banner na may nakalagay na

San Beda College Alabang is an English speaking School.

Kung naninirahan ka malapit sa mga paaralan namin, eh malamang alam ninyo na “Rival Schools” DAW ang San Beda College Alabang at ang De La Salle Zobel school. Hindi ko alam pano nga ba nagkaroon ng mga ganitong bagay-bagay, pero meron nito sa lugar namin–lalo na saming mga estudyante.

Nabalitaan ko na kapag nahuli ka ng guro na nagsasalita ng ibang wika maliban sa ingles ay malalagutan ka (ewan ko kung anong ibig sabihin ng “malalagutan”). Hindi ko alam kung anong pakay ng eskwelahan, pero negatibo agad ang aking naramdaman tungo sa kanilang patakaran. Maiintindihan ko kung ito ay isang International School, at puro dayuhan ang mga nagaaral dito. Nagaral ang Kuya ko dito at alam kong karamihan sa nagaaral dito ay Pilipino.

Posible Kaya?

August 18, 2007

Dito ako nag-umpisa. Dito sa pagsulat, pagtalumpati, at pagpapahayag sa sariling wika. Kaya nang mabasa ko ang anunsiyo tungkol sa timpalak na ito, ako ay napahinto; napatigil nang matagal-tagal. Sa ilalim ng damit at dibdib na ito na bagama’t nabasa ng ulan sa labas, may kung anong bagay ang sumiklab, pagkatapos ay umalab; at hindi naglao’y, tulad ng bunton ng kahoy na nabuhusan ng ga-as, ito ay tuluyang nagningas.

Nadadramahan na ba kayo? Hayaan nyo na ako. Matagal na – sobrang tagal na – nang huli akong sumulat at nagpahayag nang ganito. Subalit hindi ba’t tunay na masarap bigkasin ang mga salita ng ating Wikang Pambansa?

Cinco de Junio. Ah, sa Pasay ito. Sa may FB Harrison at malapit sa Cartimar at Libertad. Dekada Otsenta. Dito ako dinala ng aking alaala. Dito nag-umpisa ang paggamit ko ng wikang pambansa, ang Tagalog o Pilipino kung tawagin noon. Bagama’t Bikol ang unang wikang natutunan, madali naman akong natuto ng wikang aking ginamit nang maraming taong pag-aaral ko sa Maynila. Sa pamamagitan ng wikang ito, nalaman ko ang kwento ng ating kasaysayan; naipakilala sa akin ang ating nakaraan bilang isang lahi at ang ating mga magigiting na ninuno’t bayani; at naipaintindi sa akin ang mga samu’t saring bagay pa dito sa mundo. Sa pamamagitan din ng wikang ito unang umusbong ang hilig ko sa Arte o Sining. Sa kanyang mapangpukaw na diwa sumibol ang aking pagmamahal sa ating Inang Bayan – at ito’y ipinakita ko sa pamamagitan ng pagsulat, pagtalumpati, at kahit pag-arte sa entablado.

Paglipas

August 18, 2007

Aking itong isinulat ilang taon na ang nakalipas. May pinagbago ba?

Pilipinas…Philippines — ano ang pagkakaiba? Ano ang mas kaaya-aya sa ating pandinig? Katulad nga ng nakasaad sa kasabihan, “Ang rosas sa kahit anong pangalan ay patuloy pa ring hahalimuyak.” Iyan din ang ating bayan. Iyan ang tinaguriang Perlas ng Silanganan. Bawat Pilipino’y taas-noo sa harap ng mga dayuhan.

Ngunit bakit? Bakit parang ang laki na ng pinagbago? Ating pagsasalita’y linigaw na ng ating dila. Parang nawala na sa ating mga puso ang ating pagka-Pilipino. Ang iba diyan ay pasosyal-sosyal pa. Halatang ikinahihiya ang kayumangging balat sa iba. Minsan ay hindi ka na talaga makapaniwala sa mga naririnig. Wala nang paggalang ang lumalabas sa kanilang mga bibig. Mapapatanong ka na lamang: Ano na nga ba ang mga nangyayari? Wala na ba tayong ibang maisip kung hindi ang sarili? Paano na ang bansa nagluwal sa atin? Huwag ninyong sabihing ang Pilipinas ay palubog na kasama natin.

Paggising pa lamang sa umaga ay bubungad na agad ang banyagang tinig sa radyo. Kung mapapakinggan mong magsalita, tila mas magaling pa sa Amerikano. Pati mga awitin, patuloy nang nag-iiba. – ‘tunog-puti at negro’ na lamang ang laging nasa tema. Oo nga may sumisikat ngang taga-Asya. Ngunit saan ba iyon nanggaling - hindi ba at sa Taiwan pa? Mas napupusuan pa ng mga pinoy ang mga awiting hindi nila maunawaan. Kung tutuusin, sa garbo at pagwapuhan lamang ang pinapakitang labanan. Ngunit bakit nga ba nalunod na ang tunog-pinoy at hindi na alintana? Pati mga mang-aawit natin ay tila dinala na ng agos — mga kantang purong Pilipino, parang isa-isa nang nawawala.

Ang Mother Tounge at Lingua Franca

August 18, 2007

Ako po ay isang guro sa elementarya. Sa paaralan kung saan ako nagtuturo, napakahalaga ng papel na ginagampanan ng wika sapagka’t ang mga mag-aaral namin ay mula sa tatlumpo’t anim na bansa.

Para sa mga magulang ng aming paaralan, may dalawang bagay na kinakailangan upang maging ganap ang pag-aaral ng wika ng kanilang mga anak. Ang una ay ang tinatawag na mother tongue at ang ikalawa ay may kinalaman sa lingua franca.

Ano ba ang mother tongue?
Ang mother tongue, na kung minsan ay tinatawag na native tongue, ay pwede rin nating tawagin sa Tagalog na kinagisnang wika. Ang mother tongue ay ang unang wikang natututunan ng isang bata mula sa kanyang mga magulang at sa kanyang pamilya. Halimbawa, kung ang mga magulang mo’y pinanganak at lumaki sa Maynila at ipinanganak ka sa Maynila, ang iyong mother tongue ay Tagalog sapagka’t ito ang wikang maririnig mo at ginagamit mo sa pang-araw-araw na pakikipag-usap sa iyong mga magulang at sa ibang tao. Subalit’ kung ang mga magulang mo ay ipinanganak at lumaki sa Cebu at sila’y lumipat lamang sa Maynila, malaki ang tsansa na ang iyong mother tongue ay Cebuano sapagka’t ito ang salitaan ng iyong mga magulang at pamilya sa bahay. Pero siyempre, dahil lumaki ka sa Maynila, natural lamang na matuto ka rin ng Tagalog dahil ito ang wikang gagamitin mo para makipag-usap sa mga taong hindi marunong mag-Cebuano.

Anthem of Nations

August 18, 2007

I’m not all that fluent in the vernacular. It takes every strand of my humility to say that. I do not say this with my forehead held high, as some would; rather, I say this with my head bowed down. I blame this on my parent’s and our country’s (seemingly) ultimate goal of globalization. I grew up in a world of Barbie dolls and imported race cars, English-speaking cousins and a no-Tagalog-policy home. I was deprived of the usual dose of childhood patintero and tumbang preso, in fact, I grew up alone. I grew up in the comfort of only my toys and my parents, seeing as my neighbors were either too old or too young.

Globalization.

It has been one of the visions of our country. We dream of belonging to the booming economies of the first world countries. The notion that the universal language is the all-around remedy for globalization is so rampant that it makes our minds think that this is our only way. It becomes, what we think, the only solution. But why do we choose globalization when the answer to all our problems is right under our flat noses?

Speak the “Wika” Go Global!

August 18, 2007

Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa mga bansang madaming tao, kultura, tradisyon, pag-kain, at higit sa lahat ang wika. Maituturing na nga natin yaman ang ating sariling wika na umabot sa mahigit 170, pero na-isip ba natin na gawin itong wikang pang-kalahatan sa Pilipinas?Katulad na lang ng salitang Hinto na isang babala sa kalsada, kung nasa kalye ka ng Tsina makikita mo ang warning sign na 停 (tíng), kung nasa Espanya ka naman ay makikita mo ang salitang Pare, at kung ikaw naman ay nasa banding Europa ay Arrêt ngunit kung ikaw naman ay nasa Pilipinas mababasa mo ito sa salitang banyagang ingles na STOP.

Nosebleed

August 18, 2007

Siguro sa pamagat pa lamang ng blog post ko na ito ay alam niyo na kung ano ang tinutukoy ko. Kadalasan, ang mga katagang Ingles na “nose bleed” ay tampulan ng katatawanan bilang sakit ng maraming Pilipino ngayon; ang kahinaan sa pagsasalita ng wikang Ingles. Pero sa katotohanan, mas karapat dapat na dumugo ang ilong natin sa pagiging ignorante sa sarili nating wika.

Ang Obra

August 18, 2007

Ang post na ito ay aking isasali ko sa Wika 2007 Blog Writing contest ng Pinoy Blogosphere. Sana manalo. Hahaha. Gusto mo akong tulungan? Pwede. Kailangan mo lang akong iboto. Pero saka na natin pag-usapan yan, basahin mo muna ang aking kwento. n_n Sa August 20 pa naman ang botohan.


Nung nagsabog ang langit ng iba’t ibang wika, isa ang Pilipinas sa nauna sa pila. Dala-dala nito ang isang malaking bayong upang paglagyan ng mga wika. Hinakot nito ang karamihan sa mga wika: Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Ilokano, Bikol, Kapampangan, Waray, Maranao at iba pa.

Natawa ang ibang bansa dahil sa dami ng kanyang kinuha. Nag-aagawan naman ang ibang bansa para makuha ang Ingles, Mandarin at Russian.

Sabi ng Alemanya pagkakuha nito ng wikang Aleman, “Pilipinas, ang dami mo namang kinuha. Aanhin mo ba ang mga iyan? Isa lang naman ang kailangan natin para mabuo.”

Ngumiti ang Pilipinas habang tangan ang mabigat nitong bayong at pagkatapos ay sinabi, “Gagawa ako ng obra.”
