Supporting the two explanations. And yeah, jkduzz is right. The statement should be parallel. If it starts with past tense, the rest should follow.

 

another point: maybe sometimes you hear some natives saying, "Bastos mo!" it's actually just a shortened way of saying "Ang bastos mo!" But in formal way of speaking of writing it, you must include, "Ang" before the adjective.

Well, apparantly you know what the words "ka" and "mo" mean right?

 

They are used dependeng on how you start your sentence.

It's a very long explanation but since you are asking about when you are describing someone you are talking to;

 

1. If you started with the word "Ang" and you are talking directly to a single person, you end it with "mo"

Ex. Ang ganda mo. - <em>You are pretty.</em>

     Ang kulit mo.    - <em>You are stubborn.</em>

     Ang bastos mo. - <em>You are rude.</em>

 

2. If you started your sentence with an adjective with the prefix "ma" you, you end it with "ka"

Ex. Maganda ka.

     Makulit ka.

     Bastos ka. (there is no need for a prefix for this word and some more others)

 

I support the answer of the user above. But if this makes it simpler; A good sport is a slang phrase that has several meanings according to use: 1. Someone who takes a bad situation well. ex.: You lost in a game, but you still congratulated the winner and respected that it happened. 2. Someone who is cooperative. ex.: Your friend wants you to go to the movies and for some reason you don't like it. But because you are a good friend, you would accompany your friend. -YOU ARE A GOOD SPORT :)

You answered your own questions. But the thing is, the use depends on what you really mean? For example. If I meant that I will be there in "exactly" 10 minutes. It's more appropriate to say in 10 minutes. It's actually all about what you intend. "It's 10:00 am, I'll get back to you after an hour." - whoever says this wants a safer commitment. That anytime after an hour approximately, so it can be 11:01am or 11:12am... anytime that's near after an hour. You observed well, I just supported your logic. :)

Gabrielle smiles and keeps on walking. - "On" is added because the statement is something that is happening on a single event/situation Gabrielle keeps walking. - This is used when the event/situation is occuring. Say, everyday, every now and then.

Remotest but closest land in the world

Every first experience has its own charm as to you, me and everyone else.
But this time, it was a bit more special to me than my other first experiences.
Last week my mom and I visited my younger brother's military base.
On the day, when it was my brother's official short vacation. He spent one night with us, his family. We went to Ganghwa island, which is fifth largest island of South Korea, to hang out.

Actually his military camp is quite close to the island are (a half an hour distance by car). Also, it's near the North Korean territory.

However, I have not noticed how close they are until my adventurous instinct poked my heart to climb over a mountain surrounded by an antique fortress.
After half an hour, I reached a peak and my jaw dropped.

I was stunned by the cute buildings in the main town of the island as I observed them from the top of the mountain. But what impressed me the most was the view of the land of North Korea.

You can actually see the long mountainous wall separating North & South Korea!
Yes, We have been separated for more than half a century now even though its distance is less than 50 km long - which makes anyone from the South in that island able to across in half an hour.

Realizing that it's the land where people speak the same language, share the same blood and history with us, but are starving to death.

Although that, it was absolutely the most amazing first time I've ever had even though all I did was just stand and see the view with silence from distance away.
