A new virtual tambayan has been set-up called the Kablogs Station. A tambayan is a place where people can hang around and relax, meet new and old friends, discuss various topics, share snacks, and do various activities.
Tambayan comes from the word tambay, which can be a noun or a verb. As a noun, it refers to somebody who hangs around the corner or some place, without doing anything (yet) or hanging out with others, doing some fun stuff or just talking. It may refer to somebody who has no direction in life (negative connotation and elders would tell us to be careful of them). It can be positive as well, if it refers to somebody who is in between doing something. Like taking a break. As a verb, it means “to hang around”, whether you have nothing to do so try to be somewhere to while away your time, or to wait for something to come.
A tambayan then provides a place for those who need a break, a rest, a diversion or a change from routine. You'll never know what will happen each time you go there. With different people coming and going, you also get different types of stories, dramas, fun, etc. A tambayan provides some excitement, and going to one can give somebody something to look forward to every day. It may also mean something different to others, depending on their experiences while in the tambayan.
