Babelfish won't help
Ok boyz and grrls, I need to clean out the bike parts bin. I have a set of Salsa Bell Lap bars to give away to the first person who can give me the English translation of the squiggly stuff at the top of my blog. Good luck...
Hint: Google "baybayin", then go ask a tagalog speaker (but not me).

Oops, I accidentally deleted ricky's comment and my response, but Jo got it right! The correct translation (loosely) is "eat! do not fear". Jo gets the bars, and don't let me see them on any of ricky's bikes :) Nice try Gary!

Ok, this is ricky's original response which was accidentally deleted:
[begin quote]
Makibaka, Huwag Matakot
Jo translated this, so she wants the bars:
makikain huwag matakot means (loosely) come on eat, don't be scared
Kumain ka na ba?
I think she's wrong. I think it means:
I loves me some men.

i must have spent an hour on different sites, trying to get the latin letters for the tagalog symbols. then i took the (very rough) latin and tried feeding different versions into a tagalog-english translator. about all i was able to get was this:
huwag (adv) don't, negative command
goma (noun) rubber
hrm. "don't rubber"? at that point i got creeped out and thought "hrm maybe i don't want to know what it means". congrats to jo!
