Which one do you prefer? Demon or Devil

carpediem

From what I understand, the devil is Satan, the ultimate evil. So there is only one devil. Demons on the other hand are malignant beings.

Question: Did we just change our national language from Tagalog to Filipino?  :)


Filipino refers to the people and Tagalog refers to the National Language of Filipinos. Both are different  ;D

because of this issue, I refer to Wiki

and as Wiki states,

"According to Ethnologue, there are about 180 languages spoken in the Philippines.[62] The Constitution of the Philippines designates Filipino (which is based on Tagalog[63][64]) as the national language and designates both Filipino and English as official languages. Regional languages are designated as auxiliary official languages. The constitution also provides that Spanish and Arabic shall be promoted on a voluntary and optional basis.[65]"

---this is to clear things out and to find the correct one  ;D

As far as I can remember, the term "Filipino" is used to denote both the people of the Republic of the Philippines and the country's official language (along with English). The Filipino language is basically Tagalog-based, but it is not confined to the Tagalog language's words and syntax alone.

Exactly.  ;D ;D ;D

But sadly deficiencies in the use of English become a widespread case within the past few years. HS students having good fundamentals about grammar and usage of the language is now a rarity.  :( :( :(

^can i blame the way teenagers send text messages for this?

@marvin: either samael or belial. (when it comes to the artwork).

@junja: yes actually. I'd prefer having a conversation. hehe

random poem:

"A horse and a man, above, below,
One has a plan but two must go.
Mile after mile, above, beneath,
One has a smile, one has teeth.
Though the man above might say hello,
Expect no love from the beast below."

(not my composition, but I like it)

Belial is one of my favorite. That old devil. He got those stylish headband..

Speaking of hell. they say King Minos judges the condemned soul which circle of hell will he be punished.





Lust.. They say.. like love.. it can also conquer you.. Cleopatra during her reign gave in to lust.. Will you find yourself in the same fashion?
