Language Exchange Re-loaded

If you don't know it yet, since TARA1 (The Amazing Race Asia1), BI and Indons do have a special spot in my heart... I'm really fond of them coz like most Filipinos, Indons are, generally happy people :D This is my perception, having known some friends from Indon. for the past several months... Now, I've done this Language Exchange thing to bridge the gap of communication issues/barriers and the likes... Of course, this is the 3rd installment of my English-Indonesian-Filipino translations, taking note the tips and teachings of my Cikgu and Indonesian friends so this better be, well, 'better'... Aside from Indons, I also befriended some Malaysians as TARA1 progressed, their language, BM or Bahasa Melayu is somewhat similar to this also but unfortunately, I do not have sufficient material re- that to publish here but I'll work on it soon, promise ;)

English, Bahasa Indonesia and Filipino (Tagalog) translations:

There. I hope, my dear friends, that these translations/mini-dictionary would be of help to you in one way or another... Rest assured, I'd update this as time goes by...

Oh and btw, our national / official language is called 'Filipino' but is practically based on the 'Tagalog' dialect widely spoken in our Luzon region, the region where Manila is also located. FYI.
