Naghinamhinam na gyud ko makauli. Naghinamhinam nako sa mga halok sa akong mga pinalanggang anak. Naghinamhinam nako sa gakus sa akong inahan ug amahan. Naghinamhinam nako makigduwa sa akong mga binuhing iro. Ug labaw sa tanan, naghinamhinam nako makakaon og usab sa akong mga paboritong pagkaon sa CEBU . Ginabot, bantay lang ka!

Catholic Arabs

MAYBE it's just me, but I have always thought that all Arabs are Muslims, practicing only the Islamic religion, all of them. I have always thought that all who live in these Arab countries are somehow "born" or "sworn" to practice only Islam. How wrong I was. (Duh!)

I have put it in the back-burner thinking I don't exactly need a romantic movie to fill my nights at the moment. But, every night, it has kept on nagging and nagging me, and well, eventually I gave in. (Yes, I adore Pride and Prejudice.) It was a delight to watch. Not exactly top-rated, it was a leave-your-brain-at-the-theater-door kind of movie. It is the kind that you watch if you just want to laugh and feel good, and not really burden your mind with intricate puzzles and plot twists to understand the story. It was exactly the kind of movie I needed. The pretty Keri Russell plays the petite and smart Austen-obsessed heroine who, in fervent hopes of finding ...
