hi queer kabayans! happy pride! i just made something cool: tagalog neopronouns!!!
"but Mason isn't that unnecessary? the third person pronouns for tagalog is already gender neutral" i know but this is just for funsies and also this is the whole point of neopronouns anyways LET'S GO!!!
okay so the third person pronouns in tagalog are:
siya (reference. basically he/she/they)
niya (possessive. basically his/her/their)
kaniya (possessive but.. different grammar?? I'll explain i promise)
the prefixes of these pronouns are important. they have to stay when making your tagalog neopronouns
'si-' in siya indicates identification. 'si' by itself you use in front of someone's name. like this:
"Si Mark" "Si Alex" "Si Anna"
'ni-' (and 'kani-') is used to indicate possession.
"Bag ni Max"
kani is... difficult to explain.
basically "niya" and "kaniya" work similarly to "her" and "hers" in terms of grammar
"Ang bag niya" = "Her bag"
"Itong bag ay kaniya" = "This bag is hers"
(it's not the best explanation but i hope you get what I'm trying to explain)
NOW! NEOPRONOUNS TIME!!
I'll be using my own neopronouns for this example (if you didn't know i use ax/axe/axself neopronouns)
i just fuse those with the tagalog third person pronouns rules and....
siyax/niyax/kaniyax
:)
now let's use them in a sentence
"Ayos lang ba siyax?" (Is ax okay?)
"Astig naman ang sapatos niyax!" (Dang axe shoes are cool!)
"Kaniyax ba ang libro na yan?" (Is that book axe?)
[NOTE: himself/herself/themself can't really be tagaogified since we don't have a single word for that. we use "kaniyang sarili" but that's two words. if i were to do something about it tho i guess I'd say "kaniyaxing sarili" (the suffix '-ng' is important to grammar too if you couldn't tell)]
[NOTE2: '-ng' suffixes can be worked around if you make it '-ing' i guess. listen, i just thought it'd be cool to make neopronouns in another language it ain't gonna be perfect. I'm just one lone cowboy out here]
[NOTE3: if i said suffix instead of prefix don't worry about that I'm just stupid. verily so]

Barong Tagalog: The Traditional Filipino Men's Attire By Franz Sorilla IV, September 18, 2020
Worn up to this day on very important celebrations and formal gatherings, the barong tagalog’s ever-present magnificence that is inherently Filipino has stood the test of time. Barong tagalog, root word baro pertaining to “upper garment”, literally means “Tagalog outfit”. It was coined during the early Spanish colonial period to distinguish it as a native attire of Filipinos in contrast to the European-styled three-piece suits.Evolution in fashion throughout the centuries brought upon various modifications of the barong tagalog, and even grew in popularity nowadays on women as an alternative to the elaborate four-piece traje de mestiza known as Maria Clara. Typically, it is made of sheer lightweight woven fabric made of either piña or jusi, the former considered more precious.Piña could be an heirloom garment when properly maintained, for its tedious process and delicateness. The Aklanons of western Panay are acknowledged to be the pioneers in piña weaving. The tedious process begins with the stripping of the epidermis of the leaves of the red Visayan pineapple (ananas comosus), using a shard of Chinese porcelain. The lustrous coarse fibre called bastos is extracted by hand and reserved for use in making strings or twine. The next layer is the liniwan, which is obtained using a coconut shell. Ivory white in colour, this fibre is the finest. It undergoes degumming, which involves repeated rinsing, beating and air-drying—each step undertaken with great care. When completely dried, each strand is knotted to produce long continuous threads. The process of weaving the warp and weft takes weeks to complete, yielding just enough fabric for one barong tagalog. Some fibres are naturally dyed; most fabrics are hand embroidered. This tedious and time-consuming process of production renders the piña a most precious material

that one person on is it cake is so sus. is it possible to go 30 yrs without eating a mango? and why did she have to say ‘ooh, you always pick exotic flavors’? girl, everyone knows about ube now
+ lol at the judges thinking calamansi cake is a passed down traditional recipe. it’s literally just a sweet lime…
anyway, love how proud miko is of our filipino culture and flavors. i’ve never heard of peanut brittle called that before, but everything looked so good 🤩

relapse - filipino trail of thought
minsan pag gabi na at nakahiga na ako, napapaisip pa rin ako
what if mag sorry ka? what if bigyan mo ako ng paliwanag sa mga pagkakamali mo sa'kin?
sakit ng ginawa mo e. akala ko matatahimik na ang puso ko dahil may bago na ako. pero, kahit hindi na kita mahal. gusto ko pa rin marinig sa bibig mo,
"sorry. patawarin mo ako. hindi ko yun sinasadya."
pinapatawad na kita. matagal na kita pinapatawad. pinili ko nalang patawarin ka.
sana man lang, bago tayo nag wakas, nag sorry ka at aminin mo ang kasalanan mo.
napapa relapse lang ako sa'yo.
pero masaya na ako.
paalam.
'see you when i see you.'

I am now legally
That Bitch™️
Just kidding,
Today I legally changed my name to Miyerkules; Myr for short 🇵🇭❤️
❤️‍🔥12/15/23 ❤️‍🔥
I already have my court order document and sped ran through SSA updates. Now I’m just waiting on my card in the mail 💞
Name ramblings and queer pride below this cut:
I chose the name Miyérkules for several reasons:
1) I never knew what name I wanted to change to, just that I desperately wanted to get rid of my birth name. Every time someone called me by my birth name I internally cringed. I was picky and never found anything I liked. Last March after returning from the Philippines, I figured out I wanted a Filipino name to honor my culture. “Miyérkules” means Wednesday in Tagalog which is the day I was born. It also is as far removed from any Christian or Spanish influence as possible, save from the fact the word is the same in Spanish just spelled differently lol.
2) Wednesday is the middle of the week. Kind of a crossroads. Hekate is my patron Goddess; in a way this is a nod to her.
3) I was surprised to find the word Wednesday originated from “Woden’s Day,” or Odin’s Day. I also worship Odin casually, and my last name is Norwegian in origin. My name was somehow a crossroads of both my Filipino and Nordic heritage now without me even intending.
4) Since it’s a day of the week, it’s also as gender neutral/ambiguous as it can get. Being non-binary it’s nice to not have a name that leans either way, or any way at all.
Miyerkules may be a mouthful and a half to say (I tell everyone this when I introduce myself with my new name lol), but it’s very significant and has a lot of thought put into it. 💕 I just tell people to call me Myr but some select special few call me my full first name which I adore and prefer.
Changing my name came with a lot of fear, doubt, and second guessing. Half of my family is Christian, the other half is Filipino- I was and still am worried to get criticism and judgement from both. The name I chose is definitely not common nor is it an easy name to pronounce. I’ve been afraid to draw attention to myself in a negative way.
But a couple of things pushed me forward with courage. First, testing my name with close people was a way to ease into it. My partner and friends of course had no problem.
My workplace is safe enough so I began to “transition” there later on- I changed my screen name in some systems and told people my new name. I was very surprised to find out that no one questioned my name change; they just took to it and only asked how to pronounce my name. Some even reached out to find ways to make me more comfortable.
I was even more surprised to find that when I started introducing myself to customers as my new name (nickname), they never made comments or questioned it either. I even had one customer who asked me what my full first name was which delighted me.
Changing my name has been miraculously easier than I thought, and blessed with more support than I thought possible. I have PTSD and struggle a lot with assuming the worst. I had a lot of hypervigilance going into this. Instead I’ve been more than reassured that in my everyday life I’m going to be okay. ❤️‍🩹
I still have to tell my extended family that I’ve legally changed my name, which is scary, but not so much now that I know I have support behind me to go back to. My parents already know (they’re one of the first I told and the people whose judgement I feared the most), and their reaction was completely tame. I’m ready to live my life the way I want to.
And that’s just what this is mostly about isn’t it? More than anything, I’ve realized this is my life and I get to live it the way I want to. I’ve lived for so long accommodating other people’s comfort levels and living in their comfort zones. I’ve made moves that restricted me but kept me safe. I want to live my life authentically, and I can’t keep waiting around for either a fear that isn’t there or for people to tolerate or accept me. I deserve to take up space and exist alongside other people, even if that inconveniences them.
Someone I loved died before they could live their life the way they wanted. The way I now live doesn’t just mean I honor myself, I honor their memory because I know that’s what they’d want for me. ❤️
Being queer isn’t just about finding your niche and existing in opposition- it’s existing DESPITE opposition. It’s powerful and so much more. I’ve learned a lot about myself this year; while the fear is still there, so is the determination and pride.

triggered. money, budgets, sure, but a big chunk of why filipino art is so crap is this attitude, the soft bigotry of low expectations. there are good filipino artists, illustrators, animators, but the insularity is a crutch.
