<html> <center><h1>Re: #MyNameIsWhat Writing Contest by @SteemitAchievers</h1><br> https://steemitimages.com/DQmWgpPQkBg8N2BrjBwroRJBjhxCwVkCMTgbnkTzab7skKM/image.jpeg </center> <br> It is NOT my cup of tea to be a combative or a competitive blogger. I supposed to publish this after deadline but I am worried someone might post a similar content and accuse me of plagiarism so I better do it now. Haha! <br><br> The reason why I chose a username @pinay is because it is available when I signed up. LOL! <br><br> I don't think there's a need to explain it to my fellow Filipinos but for non Filipinos, 'pinay' simply means a lady from the Philippines. <br><br> I remember during Bubblews time, I laughed so hard when I first heard someone called us 'Philippinese'. <br><br> Not like America and China, a citizen of the Philippines is generally called Filipino not Philippinese nor Philippian/Philippinian. A man is specifically called Filipino (pinoy for short) and a woman is Filipina (pinay for short). Our national language is also called Filipino. <br><br> When I was young we spelled it #Pilipino and I thought our national language was #Tagalog. [<a href="https://www.filipiknow.net/why-is-filipino-spelt-with-an-f/">THIS ARTICLE</a> explained it.] <br><br> When I started joining blogging sites I used a username <a href="https://twitter.com/AdGoggleKo">@AdGoggleKo</a> but many netizens misspelled it as 'adGoogleKo' that's why I decided to change and use 'pinay'. But someone misspelled it too as 'pinaRy' close to BINARY. Maybe next time I'll just use 'lol' if available. :-D <br><br> As I mentioned earlier, it isn't my cup of tea to be a competitive blogger. I didn't want to use the contest tag for this post to give chance to others. LOL! <br><br> Everyone is INVITED to join. <br> <h3>GOOD LUCK!</h3> <hr><center> <a href="https://steemit.com/@pinay"> <img src="https://yvonnenovela.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/image26.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" width="1024" height="219" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2280" /></a> <br> <a href="https://steemit.com/steemgigs/@pinay/tweet-your-steemgigs-posts"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmaVe6GkHUSApnnDB8mPPs4111SpbjX1FEzvomb1pJ7auR/image.gif"/></a> <br> <a href="https://steemit.com/steemgigs/@junebride/create-steemitachievers-gif-footer-for-free"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmagbKBPYrLUccmix6aKdU1DtaFLf3cAn6tbrVtJGq6YQW/image.gif"/></a> <br> </center> </html>
