Wooohooo!
Got a letter today from the City and County of San Francisco. I passed the initial screening for a job I applied for and now I have to take a Written test and also a Bilingual Skills Test. Aaaargh, gotta practice my written and spoken Tagalog. Last time I took this test I almost failed the oral part. It was really hard coz I don't really know if they want the exact oral translation of the sentence or the conversational translation.
Example. They wanted me to translate "Please sign here." In conversational Tagalog, it's "Pirmahan mo dito." Or something to that effect. But their translation was "Lagdaan mo dito." What the hell? Nobody uses "lagda" anymore!
Oh well. Let's see how the test goes.
D came over too. We had a specially wonderful time together. It must have been the pizza I made. Hehehe. Yep! I made pizza tonight, from scratch. Except the dough. I just bought Pillsbury Pizza Dough - the ones you just peel and take it out of the tube, spread it on a round pizza pan and voila! I got my round pizza dough. I put some pasta sauce on it, lotsa cheese, pepperoni, green pepper, mushroom, pineapple and canadian bacon. Stuck it in the oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and it was done.
It was some good pizza. D agreed (at gunpoint). Hahaha. No, really, it was good. Except that I can't eat that much of the crust. Too much carb for me so I just scraped off the toppings and left the crust on my plate.
I knew D had 2 consecutive stressful days at work so I made sure I gave him a good full body massage before he went home. And according to him, he enjoyed it tremendously.
Life is good. :)

Lagdaan? Gawd! Am gonna send you one Excel file. It's a sorta game. Translate English words to Filipino. It could be of help. =)
Good luck, sis. You could ace both exams. God bless.
