Malaysian cuisine; simply the best! 

In this episode, we’re talking about harana—the classic Filipino serenade that’s all about love, courage, and respect. We’ll follow Nestor’s story, a shy guy who takes a leap of faith to sing his heart out for someone special.

Let’s chat about what makes harana so special, how it shows Filipino values, and how we can still see its vibe in the way we show love today. Whether you’re learning Tagalog or just curious about Filipino culture, this one’s for you!

Hit follow and share this episode with your friends—let’s keep the spirit of harana alive! 

 Ps. Supposedly, this is a video haha.

Звичайний українець.

روزی ز سر سنگ عقابی به هوا خاست
واندر طلب طعمه پر و بال بياراست

بر راستی بال نظر کرد و چنين گفت
امروز همه روی زمین زير پر ماست

بـر اوج فلک چون بپرم از نظـر تــيز
می‌بينم اگر ذره‌ای اندر ته درياست

گر بر سر خـاشاک يکی پشه بجنبد
جنبيدن آن پشه عيان در نظر ماست

بسيار منی کـرد و ز تقدير نترسيد
بنگر که ازين چرخ جفا پيشه چه برخاست

ناگـه ز کـمينگاه يکی سـخت کمانی
تيری ز قضا و قدر انداخت بر او راست

بـر بـال عـقاب آمـد آن تير جـگر دوز
وز ابر مر او را به سوی خاک فرو کاست

بر خـاک بيفتاد و بغلـتيد چو ماهی
وانگاه پر خويش گشاد از چپ و از راست

گفتا عجب است اينکه ز چوب است و ز آهن
اين تيزی و تندی و پريدن ز کجا خاست؟

چون نیک نگه‌کرد و پر خويش بر او ديد
گفتا ز که ناليم که از ماست که بر ماست

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
