That's awesome! You live in the Netherlands right? I''m guessing that's why you understand the Bahasa Indonesia/Melayu the best. I'm half Dutch/ Filipino myself but I don't know or understand any of the dialects, even Tagalog. I can understand a lot of Dutch though.
That's pretty cool, so one of your parents was born in the Netherlands?
Dan kun je dit zeker ook lezen? Kun je ook in het Nederlands typen?
I am actually mixed quite a bit... my mother is Dutch/Indonesian/Chinese. Which is why I knew a handful of Malay words; but I've only recently started learning Indonesian. _________________ clarity of thought before rashness of action

Yeah, my mum, opa and oma moved to Canada from the Netherlands when my mum was 15 years old. I still have 2 uncles who live in Amsterdam. My dad is from the Philippines and he moved here in his 20's. My mum and dad met in Toronto. Yeah, I'm mainly Dutch and Filipino but if you go way way back I have some Chinese, Spanish, Russian and French in me as well.
Yes, I can read a lot of Dutch but I can't write in Dutch. My oma lived with me for my whole life when she was still alive and my mum and her spoke in Dutch a lot so I grew up understanding a lot of Dutch. If I went to the Netherlands now I probably wouldn't have a hard time getting around because I can read a lot of Dutch and understand when people talk in Dutch, I just can't really write it and I'm slow at forming Dutch sentences in my head because I have to really think of the words.
Even if you have grown out of watching Disney movies, especially Disney princess movies, here is something interesting that I watched just today in my sociology class:

LMAO. Not how I would react to no internet. I could sit here with my eyes shut for hours & entertain myself. Also many other things you can do.
Wonder why he did not play pea shooters with the toy animals & strap it all up to a fan, rotating. Or get out all the pots & pans & some glasses & make your own instrument. _________________ INTJ, Type5 Observer, Ecologists,

Haha. Yeah, not the same way I would react either (I would just daydream or read a book), but you gotta admit it's funny!
I wonder why he didn't just watch T.V... I assume that's what most people do when the Internet fails them. _________________ "Magic is any sufficiently advanced technology." - Arthur C. Clarke

this was good. this is why i hated disney as a child.
comedian tom ballard going on about how stupid he thinks journalist miranda divines homophobia and general idiocy is. i think its amusing:
what the f**k are you talking about sums up my reaction to that article she wrote. it was one of those really bad pieces that makes you think "really?!"
