When I first moved there, yea. It's really similar to the Filipino "Salamat", after all.

I'm from the Philippines, but I lived in Malaysia for 9 years. I mentioned this to some girl in CA a few years ago and she looked at me and said: "Malaysia? Isn't that, like, north of Canada?" :-/

Karinett on I can't seem to stop pulling my eyebrows out.

2011-03-08T01:38:35.729426-07:00-0700

I had this when I was 7-8 years old. Began pulling my hair one strand at a time, and I did it so meticulously it looked like it was shaved. I would get the long strand of hair and form a long chain of knots compulsively, then pluck another when I ran out. I had large bald patches hidden under my hair (I guess I tried to hide it). My parents started noticing due to all the hair on the floor on the side of my bed every morning. Up until now I can't figure out why I did it... I just had to at the time, and it was really hard to stop. I used to bite my nails compulsively also (though I've broken both habits).

Maybe because it's tasty and addicting?

[notpron](http://www.deathball.net/notpron/) might be within your interest. It's a web-based game, and really, all you're playing against is the creator(s) of the game.

At least it opens up more opportunities for good stories. I like that they're putting one stage of the Trek franchise behind and starting fresh - hopefully they won't fuck it up this time. The 2nd movie should be interesting.

Most of what's called Filipino now is derived from the Tagalog, but the Tagalog people and language is just one of the many ethno-linguistic groups of the Philippines. Filipino, however, is the accepted 'nationwide' language. More trivia: "Tagalog" comes from the words "taga-ilog" meaning "from the river"

Hmm. I was under the impression that "boondocks" originated from Filipino where "bundok" means mountain. The etymology as far as I understand is that when the Americans took over they adopted the word to reference anything remote especially because there are several settlements in the mountainous regions of the Philippines. Filipino is rooted in Malay but is not exactly the same. I'm unaware "bundok" means something similar in Malay but I'm pretty sure that its introduction into the English language came from the Philippines and the American colonization thereof.
