SIs Facebook dying?

Facebooks has become the largest social network within the last (few) years. Due to its internationality, it had been able to compete with all other existing social networks like Myspace. However, the number of Facebook users isn't growing anymore. This might be due to the fact that other platforms like Whatsapp and Skype have become more popular for small/short/little conversations. Another reason might be that Facebook has just lost its coolness factor. In Germany, Facebook became a popular as an alternative for other social networks like SchülerVZ or StudiVZ. Most of the Facebook users were young people, especially students who used it as a communication platform. But  lately, Facebook users have been getting older and older. Facebook is transforming itself into a senior network.

I only speak Tagalog but if I would be given a chance I'd like to learn Chavacano since it's just like Spanish :)

Ang mga OFW

Ang mga OFW ay Overseas Foreign Workers. Pumupunta sila sa ibang bansa para magtrabaho . Kumikita sila ng mas maraming pera kaya pwede silang bumili ng mga damit at pagkain para sa kanilang pamilya. Minsan nalulungkot ang mga OFW dahil namimiss nila ang kanilang pamilya. Mahirap ang buhay ng mga OFW dahil mahirap ang ibang wika at ang ibang kultura. Paminsan-minsan tumatawag sila kasama ang sa kanilang pamilya. Masaya ang mga OFWs kung magpunta sa bahay makakauwi sila sa Pilipinas. Pwede silang magkita ng kanilang pamilya.

-- The para "sa trabaho" is grammatically correct but I think it's better to use "magtrabaho"

-- Tawag is a root word and to make it as a verb you'll need to add an infix (gitlapi in tagalog), "-um-",  You can search more about panlapi (unlapi, gitlapi at hulapi) for better understanding :)

-- Makakauwi simply means "able to go home"

>> Formal: Kung bibigyan ko siya ng pera, siya ay masisiyahan ng husto. Siya ay mahilig sa pera. More like = If I will give her money, she will be so happy. She loves money. >> Informal: Kung bibigyan ko 'yan ng pera, sobrang matutuwa 'yan. Mukha 'yang pera. (This is very offensive) It'll be better (but still very offensive) if this would be used: Kung bibigyan ko 'yan ng pera, sobrang matutuwa 'yan. Mukha kasi 'yang pera. Adding "kasi" would make your sentence: If I gave her money, she would be so happy. It's because she loves money. >> Salitang kalye/Slang: Kapag binigyan ko 'yan ng pera, palakpak tenga n'yan. Mukha kasi 'yang pera. 'palakpak tenga' literally means 'ears are clapping' So if a person's ears are clapping, then he/she is feeling so much happiness.

Low sugar diet

Recently, I try not to eat lots of sugar or carbs in everyday/daily diet.
I do not eat bread in the morning neither rice for lunch and dinner.
Even to the famous bakery bread which is expensive and not easy to buy, I say no to them!
Instead, I eat lots of tofu products as a meal.
I lost 1.5 kilograms in the past week, but keep on doing it is hard.
Hope I can persist in it and lose 6 kilograms by the year end!

^ welcome :D
