Pardon me for disagreeing. I like the English version better because I
can understand it clearly. If the Filipino version was being said
verbally, maybe it'd stand a chance. But unfortunately, it makes it a
lot harder for me to understand "written". Same goes for your whole post
mainly in Taglish.

I think it's best that we just use English. ;)

Oh, okay. But I for one never understood why Filipinos insist on using
Tagalog even on the web. Of course, nothing is stopping you or anyone
from doing so.

I believe that if you're going to use English anyway in your sentences,
say/write them in English instead of a hodge-podge of carelessly chosen
Tagalog words and bastardizations of English words.

It just makes more sense in English (in my case).

Just my $0.02.
