Bling, One thing nice about the forum is you can ask anything and it's OK. I've even asked for advices. Regarding Filipino slang, it's a long way to go for me too. I'm sill wondering what "pasa-Y" or is it "pasaway"? Still wondering what it means hahaha. Regarding -- "NAKS" -- i picked that up hangin' out with Filipinos. To this day, i use it as an expression. I speak fluent tagalog, and can also understand some dialects. But when it comes to Filipino slang words, I'm lost. This forum comes in handy ... it's an Iya experience -- it's educational. We all have one thing in common --- WE ALL LIKE (scared to use the word love) IYA. u got tht right Boston abt the like(love) part..and by the way i still dont kno wat "Naks" means...any1 mind tellin me wat it means?? ;D

I now have to admit, I'm not an expert in the Filipino language.
I just try to connect words ... "NAKS" -- is another way of saying "WOW" in its Taglog version.
Like the word "astig", I'm still figuring that out. I wanna ask Bianca what "pasa-Y" means. I first tried figuring that out by watching her show, but still don't get it.
I asked several people, they all have different answers.
NAKS -- pursigido ako hahaha.
This is a learning experience -- charged to -- IYA EXPERIENCE.
I bet Iya doesn't know some of the Filipino slang words too. She'll learn it here hahaha.

well thanks for all the help guys. I thought "pasaway" means " to stop". How is the word used? For example, "Ang gulo nila, pasaway?" ("they are rowdy, tell 'em to stop") haha isn't that right? I dunno. But that's my translation.

Filipino Slang 101 NAKS - wow Example: "Naks, ang galing naman nung ginawa mo!!!" "Wow, ang galing naman nung ginawa mo!!!" Pasaway - if you tell someone not to do a particular thing over and over and over and over and over again, then that person or thing is "pasaway". Not following an advice or an instruction. Example: "Chigo is pasaway!!" It means that chigo is not following something or behaving in a fashion that will lead someone into reminding him to behave. "Ang gulo nila, mga pasaway"... In this expression, pasaway is a noun. Pasaway here is referring to the people who are "magulo". Why are they pasaway? Because they are magulo. And why is being magulo a pasaway? Because you'll always remind that particular group not to do this over and over again. So in order to shorten it, we just say, "Mga pasaway kayo" Note: Iya is good in Filipino slang. Very much exposed!!!

I first so Iya in Myglobe commercial pero matagal na ulit bago nasundan. Yun nga ang PH care commercial na i still remember her dancing it Pero when i watched her new show, Wowowee, dun ko na siya sinimulang panoorin. Then i was curious about her lines "Hi sa mga Iya Online. I love you guys". So i searched the net and found out Iya Online. So i subscribed. Yun nmang first time na na-meet ko si iya, please read my post bling. Click here

That's an awesome story dark. Shux...I have to wait for May when I visit the PI. Ang layo pa. I hardly watched the TFC channel, until I got a glimpse of MTB, and other shows like Home Along da Riles, OK Fine Watever, and then recently Wowowee and ASAP. Now I can't get enough of Wowowee. That's when I first noticed Iya. Janelle was cute and I thought she sang awesome. Kat looked American to me then I found out she was half British. Kat was also cute. But there was something about Iya. She stood out. Her shiny black hair, alluring eyes, cute smile, and energetic yet goofy attitude. I thought it was cute. Anyway, when I found out she was gonna be in America, a six hour drive to Frisco was not holding me back. When we were just walking around the fairgrounds in Frisco, I noticed a cute girl w/shades walking with some tall dude. Well, she passed us up and my kompare was like, "dude, I think that was Iya" I didn't notice if it was her, but she was cute. But yup, I saw her perform live and met her briefly at the autograph signing. It wasn't until after I came back I stumbled across the Iya Forums.

Yup sure did Did you check out the ASAP Mania Screencaps Thread? I posted a few pictures from my cam and my friends cam. And there's also a link to a folder of all my pics you can download. It includes pics form the show and the signing. Too bad I didn't get to take a pic w/her
