Thanks for the Lubi-Lubi tip, I found a good one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29G2npbSugk
I admit I do sound a bit French towards the end!

your reading is pretty good. some corrections though. you don't pronounce "mayo" like "mayo" in "mayonaise". it should be "mah-yoh". as for setyembre to disyembre, your reading sounds like french, hehe, and yes, maybe a frenchman would read these months in the same way. Here is a youtube link that features a little girl singing a Filipino song called "Lubi-lubi". You can learn the right pronounciation of the months in Tagalog here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hGCDrIv_jg

Good job.. I am always doubtful if I will write months in tagalog because I am not sure with the spelling since we are used in writing it in english hehe
