Philippine Azkals: The Accents (2)

Image
This is Part 2 of a series of posts about the Philippine Azkals' accents. Click here to go to my 1st post. Hello there, Azkaleros! Well, my previous post talked about the accents of some prominent members of the Philippine Azkals, the men's national football team. Last time we talked about Aly Borromeo 's accent that's like a mix of Californian, Hispanic and Bisaya . We appreciated the ruff-and-tuff Southeastern American accent of Jason Sabio . We are tickled by the quirky Sussex accent of Simon Greatwich . And we do love the almost-Oxford-standard accent of Rob Gier . Now let's get into another set of players. First up, the prime goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, the 21 year-old lad from London. Now, let's go back to that video starring him in 2008 (We'll observe, too, the other person interviewed here.) As I've been observing his interviews every now and then, I am able to think that Neil's delivery of the language is close to what they call...

Rumi and Me

I ran away from God and turned to my own way of showing myself that I am a student of UP, without recognizing my relationship to him. These days I feel so cold about my relationship to God, to my family and friends. I feel so empty inside that I am not really enjoying my growth as a person and as a part of the society.

Cancer As we swing into August, the major astrological focus is eclipses. The month kicks off with a dramatic solar eclipse in Leo on August 1, followed by an equally dramatic lunar eclipse in Aquarius. An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, and a lunar eclipse is just the opposite, when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth. So what do these attention-grabbing eclipses mean for you? Leo is known for being quite dramatic, and solar eclipses are known for their emotional intensity. With the solar eclipse occurring in Leo, expect bold headlines and plenty of 'breaking news.' All eclipses occur at a new Moon -- a time of new beginnings -- making this a truly important event. The word 'eclipse' means that something dramatic or attention-getting has occurred, captivating our attention enough to pull it away from somethi...
