my friend asked me this and she said it's in Filipino. She said, "You look like you've been living in a bahay kubo for all these years."\nIs it a cave?

No, it's not a cave. Bahay kubo is a type of house made out of palm tree leaves.  It's a very modest type of house used in the provinces mostly by farmers.

by the look of your avatar, you don't exactly like in the middle of kansas, miss nyc chick. you couldn't be in a better place to learn spanish, yet people on the post are telling you to take classes for a language spoken by the largest growing minority...... ummmmmm...... think about that. go stand on 125th street(that's pronounced "a hun-twunnie fiff stree" for non new yorkers) and see how quickly you will learn spanish. the point is, submerge yourself with spanish on purpose. lee las periodicas, y mira las noticias en la manana mientras esta haciendo desayuno, todo!! ya kno

Hi Mooma, I'm thinking it could be the Crystal Maze, does that ring any bells? Even I'm interested to find out although I'm sure it defiantly could be the Crystal Maze.

My mom has been there...she really liked it, said it's the most beautiful place she's been too...but hard lifestyle if you're living there. As a tourist it sounds fantastic! Be sure to try all the fruit, she talks about Sri Lankan fuit all the time.

I'm a Filipino, and I guess the word "baduy" means "tacky" in English. Go look it up in the Fil-English dictionary and see if they actually mean the same thing. ;)

The Tasaday made worldwide headlines in 1971 when the tiny group emerged from a rain forest in mountains of the Philippines, wearing leaves, carrying stone tools, professing no knowledge of agriculture, weapons, or words for war. The people told researchers they had thought the forest was the whole world and that they and their friends inside were the only people on earth.\n\n   A social scientist who was there said the Tasaday could provide insights into "an ancient way of life that has virtually disappeared from the planet"(1). Another anthropologist who visited later said that discovering the cave-dwelling Tasaday was "one of the most significant anthropological events of the 20th Century"(2).\n\n    Over the next three years, scholarly studies, journalistic reports, and documentary films supported another scientist's contention that the Tasaday's way of life formerly had been "as close to nature as any people known in modern times"(3). To protect the small group (only 26 people) a 45,000-acre preserve was declared by the government and uninvited outsiders were forbidden entry.\n\n   In 1986, however, the government changed and two journalists entered into the forest and came out declaring that the Tasaday story was a fraud. They claimed that the people were really farmers from tribes living outside the forest who had been persuaded to take off their clothes, pick up stone tools, and move into caves in the forest as an elaborate hoax (4). Two teams of TV reporters also went to the area and made similar claims (5). Some anthropologists supported those accusations and a major circulation magazine (6) later described the Tasaday as "one of the greatest hoaxes of all time."\n\n   Controversy boiled up and has simmered for years.\n\n   Now, three decades after the first contact, following new field research and debate, this web site offers scholarly data, journalistic reports, and photographs to answer clearly and convincingly that the Tasaday are authentic and the claim of a hoax was the real hoax.

Hmm, I would have to see that episode but in my opinion, being surrounded by cacti could represent being able to handle a situation noone else could like how cacti survive in a lifeless desert or maybe protecting something precious within yourself, like cacti protect the water inside them with thorns.  Or it could mean that Akio is in a dead situation or a dead place.

you know what.. I am a Filipino and I have a lot of online friends... even foreigners..\n\nit is so sad to see this kind of stories involving my countrywoman.. i won't blame you guys if you condemn her but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try to make us ALL Filipinos look like SOCIAL CLIMBERS nor GOLD DIGGERS... Remember, this is not a unique issue! And we are not sure if this is the first time for it to happen... I bet, it also happened to your country... it may not be an INTERACIAL CONFLICT....\n\nTo the one who made this question.. I hope you'll move on as soon as possible.. you take care :)
