Thank you AKR for your nice thoughts 
Hello to all March Applicants
Most of you might remember me. I am messenger (AKA Tom) from February 2013 thread. I feel very connected to all my friends here in March and I do drop by from time to time to read your good news (despite the strike)
But Lately I find this more hard to do as every time I enter the thread I can hardly read anything because the language being used here is Tagalog.
As you all know these forum is open and full of diverse and lovely people from every part of our beautiful planet. But not everyone is a Filipino here!
(although I love hearing Tagalog in real life because its like music to my ears) it is very hard for me and I am sure for many other Non-Filipino members to understand the meaning of any message here!
Filipinos are blessed as they are mostly bilingual (English and Tagalog) and so far I have never met one that doesn't speak English. I know because I lived with them many many years and I am also related to Filipinos. (I have a Filipino Godchild)
I come from a country that we are not taught English as a second language and I learned my English mostly in the street. Here in this forum and threads except Greeks (like me
) there are Swedes, Fins, Dutch, Italians, German, Austrians, Pakistanis, Kenyans, Americans, Canadians, Albanians,Croatians, so just imagine that if we started speaking to each of our country people in our own language there would be a modern Babel!
I am sure that there are many threads in this forum that are language specific and Pinoy's are the most popular.
You are entitled to of course continue using your own language as this is an open forum but then one by one other people from other nationalities will start making less and less frequent visits here as this forum has been a second home to many of us!
If my message is offending to anyone here, I humbly apologize as I was not meant to be insulting to anyone and especially to my good friends! Most of you by now already know me!
Regards
messenger
