i am killed ded.
30 July 2007 08:21 pmUrk. The PSY106 test killed my brain cells dead. T__T
Anyway, I've just finished reading a couple of HP fics in Tagalog. And...and...let me just say that reading Harry Potter fics in English, then reading it in Tagalog, is so jarring that I laughed out loud at the weirdness of it all. I mean, Ron calling Harry "pare"? I know that that's the closest thing to "mate," which is what Ron calls Harry in the original manuscript, but I couldn't help but imagine the two of them as the guys talking in the Cream Silk radio ad. I don't know why. But I'm still weirded out.
