FREE TIME It's been a while since I last wrote an entry in my Italki account. A lot has happened in the past few months that I haven't updated here. I miss those people who I have interacted and became my friends here. I do hope that you're all in good health and had progressed in learning languages you wanted to know here. I have been busy but I still study Korean. Well, I really don't know if I made an improvement. With the help of this website I've come to realized a lot about other peoples' opinions when it comes to their native language and the languages they want to learn. I'll stay connected through this website and update more of myself and my learning in the future. Thanks for reading. :)

HISTORY I was watching movies at home. And there was this one movie titled "AMIGO". It's a Filipino movie themed back in 19th century from where the Philippines as a country is invaded by the Americans from the spaniards. The movie was very interesting that it got me hooked with it. I, for one, was curious about my history and culture. In the movie, the natives were confused about following this democracy being implemented by the government. It was back from the time of our president, General Emilio Aguinaldo. The movie focused in a certain person named, Rafael Dacanay, who was the Capitan del barrio, torned between the American invaders (that were somehow kind to them) and his comrades including his brother who was the head of the Filipino guerillas. As said if a filipino follows the invaders they will convicted to death. The same goes for those that helps the guerillas in any way. How the Philippines struggle with their fights for their freedom. From Chinese people, to spaniards, and then the Americans. While the movie was playing, I saw how as Filipinos speak our language and how they can't communicate with the Americans because they haven't learn the English language. There was a part in the movie, where an American soldier took a fancy with a "binibini" or a young Filipina. They shared good times in spite of the fact that they don't understand each other's languages. The movie however, ended in tragic, as many people have died for their beliefs. My ancestors (the natives) who fought for their freedom. At some point, I believe that with all the happenings, there was a good outcome for my country. And I'm grateful for that. It's really makes me happy to see movies reliving the old memories. No, not just merely memories but the history of our land.
