Naghinamhinam na gyud ko makauli. Naghinamhinam nako sa mga halok sa akong mga pinalanggang anak. Naghinamhinam nako sa gakus sa akong inahan ug amahan.

I am literally a "promdi" (Pinoy slang for "from the province") here, breaking my neck looking up at the towering skyscrapers and massaging my calves after strolling around the world's largest mall. But what the heck! The world is ours for the taking, right? We shouldn't apologize for being so "green." I am going to enjoy this whole new world that I have the fortune of being immersed in now. I am going to embrace it and bask in it with such childlike wonder, it will hurt and make me go insane. Speaking of ins...
