 | | The Rains - a Sonnet | | by JoWo, Nov 26, 2008 | | My adopted homeland, the Philippines, is a tropical country and the largest island, Luzon, has distinct seasons. Often, the dry season, from December till June has no rain at all. As you can imagine the grass is brown by this time since the watershed is shrinking fast, way beyond the reach of small plants. It begins to look like a desert and the heat and humidity become oppressive. You will appreciate the joy that greets the first rains of the rainy season, as I do. | | Comments(3) Liked It: 3 |

 | | Remembering the 1976 Earthquake and Tsunami That Devastated My City | | by Melody Arcamo Lagrimas, Oct 18, 2008 | | My family's experiences during the worst tragedy that has ever befallen my hometown, the city of Pagadian. At around 12:11 AM of August 17, 1976, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Moro Gulf and had triggered a series of tsunamis in many parts of Mindanao including our city, claiming thousands of lives. | | Comments(16) Liked It: 14 |

 | | The Creepy Mausoleum | | by Bugsey, Jul 22, 2008 | | There lies the body of Ferdinand Marcos in wax. Shades of Mao Tse Tung except that it seems he's beginning to rot. It's no longer funny because he's body seems to be in need of "servicing" as some complain that he's beginning to smell. If anyone had any sense of decency, he should be buried. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
