My favorite word is : MAJOR,MAJOR! Obviously because its the famous answer of venus raj in the miss universe final question and answer. Something in that word everytime i hear itt on tv or from people it gives me a light feeling inside.it makes me smile.its like i want to scream out "major, major." at the top of my lungs.actually it's not only my favorite word of the day it has been a week or bit more already. There are many people who became famous because of what they said and for sure this word will go down the history.it will be remembered and will be passed down to the next generation just like the words of melanie marquez for her long legged. At first i didn't know what was wrong with her answer her grammar but after some thoughts i realized what was wrong with her grammar.but we filipinos just take it as something to laugh at and it makes our day more fun because of those mistakes.it it's something we do not let unnoticed. But i feel it reflects how most filipino now find it difficult to express themselves in english specially in oral english. I'm guilty of that too. Anyways, for me it's not a major, major problem.

The favorite word for my day is,"perfidious!"This word has been chasing it's self through my brain for several days. At first I didn't know the meaning of Perfidious, but I found the answer in my online dictionary.
Perfidious means deceitful, and treacherous. A perfidious lover is deliberately faithless!

Venus Raj is really a beauty. When she walked the stage with her swimsuit, i'd really stand up with a WOW! but it turned me off when she answered the question. But i believe, she's smart but unfortunately, she is not that fluent in English ;)

My favorite word (for today, anyway) is enigma. I love it because I'm not quite sure what it means. ;o)

bilocate-to be in two places at one time. Can be your body in one place and your spirit in another. Lately, I'd like my body to be in bed next to the air conditioner and my spirit out doing things like dancing, meeting friends. If my spirit could move things, picking apples, corn, gathering and preparing or putting away wild foods.

My favorite word is " GOOD LUCK" because luck plays a very important role in every walk of life.Unless one is lucky sh or she cannot shine life. We so many people with similar qualification efficiency and hard work some come up in life and make money while others are utter failure in life.What is the reason.It is luck.Therefore good luck is always necessary for any body. Even to avoid miseries in life one should have good luck That is why I have chosen my tag as "GOOD LUCK'

Well Venus Raj did her best on that competition, although committed that major major expression, I think she's just nervous, and i believe she is fluent in English its just the pressure is too great, But still I am proud she did her best, up to final 5.
