I want to tag everyone who participated with Word-High July BUT I might miss someone important so I won’t!
I know you guys know who you are!
And I LOVE you all.

This is sweet and warm Rosema. Well done. You guys did a great job. I read quite a number of posts on Word High, unfortunately, my life has been so hectic that though I wanted to do it I just couldn’t .

Thank you. This is such a sweet post. I have enjoyed every minute of this challenge. Some of the words were more difficult for me to write about than others, but I learned from each one of them. Thank you for the opportunity to learn about the Filipino language.
Have a blessed day, all of you!

This is the first time I every participated in such a meme. I had no idea what to expect. I am relatively new to the whole idea of meme posting.
I am a very technical person and most of the poems were over my head, but it is good to expose oneself to a different way of seeing the world from time to time.
In this challenge, we saw a little arts meets Filipino meets redneck. Talk about a melting pot.

Sister, walang anuman! (Hopefully, I’m saying–well, writing–that correctly.) This was a treat. The words are resonant with lovely-looking–and, I imagine, lovely sounding–arrangements of consonants and vowels. This was a learning and growing experience–thanks to you and Maria!
