What's up with AUGUST?!?!?

Sun 8/3/2008 7:31PM

Dear All:

Please be informed that since the month of August is normally a typhoon month, we are declaring the whole month of August, 2008 as dress down month. Enjoy!

Thanks!

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!




That email says it all! Everyone was very happy to know that they don't have to come to work dressed to kill for the guard to let us in. D'you remember anything about August other than being a typhoon month?!? When we were still students, we have this "Linggo ng wika" thingy every 2nd or 3rd week of August and that I remember so much about August.

A while ago, while I was taking my lunch break, I took time to walk going to Abbie and Kim's station. We talked and reminisced our good old high school days then we ended up talking about our Filipino subject.

Just like what other people say, Americans are good speakers in English but not all of them are as good as that in writing. Same with Pinoys. We maybe fluent in our language but that does not mean that we are good at it in writing. So our conversation started with "TUTULDOK". Not everyone knows that the Filipino translation of colon (the punctuation mark) is "tutuldok". One who joined in the convo said that "tutuldok" is the "..." aka "Ellipsis". Then our conversation went on and on doing nothing but trying to transalate some English terms to Filipino. We were all like wacko while trying to think of the Filipino translation for some English words.

Could you help us please?!?! Will you please translate the following words into Filipino in a comment form?!?
