Wordle gave me the image of the list of words my blog usually contains.

But where and what is really the origin of "Bangs"?

Well, I got an answer here:

According to etymology scholar Robert Barnhart, the term is strictly American in origin. In Britain they call it "fringe".

"The origin of bangs (the word is occasionally found in the singular bang), referring to a fringe of hair falling over the forehead (especially if cut square), is uncertain.

A common explanation, and the most likely one, is that bang(s) is short for bangtail. A bangtail is a horse's tail trimmed horizontally, so that the tail has a flat, even end, and hence a horse having such a tail. (By the early twentieth century, bangtail was used generically for 'a racehorse'.)

This leaves the question of the origin of bangtail. The word bang 'to strike violently' or 'a sudden striking blow or sound' has an adverbial sense 'suddenly; abruptly; completely; directly', as in "he walked bang up to me," "a slam-bang effort," or, closer for our purposes, "to cut (something) bang off." Our bangs is probably from this adverbial use, one way or another: either it comes directly from this adverb, or bangtail itself is from this adverb and bang(s) is short for bangtail.

The adverbial bang is recorded in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, depending on how you interpret the evidence. Bangtailed '(of a horse) having a bangtail' is found in the early 1860s, and bang 'fringe of hair' is first found in the late 1870s in America."

As of this moment, I had just a portion of my hair for my bangs. I'm still hesitant to had it cut in full. I hope I can get enough courage though...like that of Reese or Anne Curtis (in Dyosa) I wonder How will I look.

To answer Nice's question of the week...

Jaden eat almost everything I served. I'm just having a hard time kasi now she's not eating a lot. But if she's in the mood here are the food she loves.

1. Pancit. I just break the noodles into pieces so she can eat without choking her self. She also calls it pancit even if it's sopas :D

2. Tinola. Specially the "gulay" from it. She loves the soup, chicken and sayote.

3. Chicken with Pineapple (Pininyahang Manok). she loves the sabaw cause it's sweet.

3. Fried Chicken. She just love it. I think every kids do.

4. Fish. Wag lang those na malansa. Cause she tends to throw up.

5. Egg. She prefers it either boiled or scrambled.

6. For snacks she loves stuffed cakes (Inipit or Lemon square cakes), Chuckie (choco drink), Yakult, and Pretzels dipped in cream cheese spread.

So basically, she loves soup and sweet dishes.She prefers chicken and fish over pork or beef mas tender kasi ang meat. Not like other kids, she doesn't like hotdogs that much.

1. The last meal I had at a restaurant was Mongolian Squid Meal during lunch.

2. Cockroaches and cigarette smoke are something I intensely dislike.

3. The full moon is one thing that my daughter likes to look at a clear night.

4. "Shocks" is one of my favorite local expressions.

5. Sometimes it's best to just be still for a while and listen.

6. A Very Special Love (A local Philippine Movie) is the best movie I've seen so far this year!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to our rehearsal for Sunday's service, tomorrow my plans include enrolling in a Driving School and start learning and Sunday, I want to just stay at home and enjoy bonding with my daughter after church!
