Kamusta naman

"Kamusta naman..." is it a question or an expression? Where did it come from? How did it become popular? Why do Filipinos say it at as often as they put exclamation point in their sentences. It is interesting how people spread it like the phenomenal dance craze and song "boom tarat tarat". Its like an echo in the cave. Every house in our community plays the song in full volume and dance with feelings and all energy. To think that "boom tarat tarat" barely has meaning and more so a connection to Christmas.


Back to the expression, "kamusta naman..." is commonly used when giving a comment to something like: "Nakuha kong exchange gift chocolate e diabetic ako. Kamusta naman." or "Kamusta naman. Nakita ko ang ex ko sa parlor." The line can be equivalent to the expression "ano ba" or "nakakaloka" or any expression that a person may connect to her/his sentence to put stress or merely say more.


People. We really keep on inventing and reinventing. Go ahead and say more but don't forget that what you say speaks of what inside you. 


Tanong: kaya kamusta naman ang pagbblog? Sagot: "wala lang" masaya e! hehehehe...

The last verses of Exodus 40 are like sweet reminders to me. I can't help but praise God because His ways are sure and I just have to trust in Him. 34  Then  the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and  the glory of the  Lord  filled the tabernacle.   35  And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord  filled the tabernacle.   36  Throughout all their journeys,  whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.   37  But  if the cloud was not taken up, then they did...
