Baybayin

I just figured out how to write my name in baybayin, the pre-Spanish Filipino writing system. Cool.

My favorite part about taking Tagalog at UCLA was learning how to spell borrowed words--it's hilarious. These are actually words that were in my Tagalog textbooks:

1. maykroweyb
2. nars
3. pitsa
4. kerot
5. pokus
6. workbuk
7. pulis
8. titser
9. graduweyt
10. miting
