Okay, okay, Natalie, don't get me wrong, but THOR is mine. I had claimed him long ago, as my club gripping mighty god of thunder hero, all clad in nothing but a loincloth. True, I enjoyed Casper, Betty Boop, Gumby, Pop-eye, and...

I didn't know that when I started my summer cleaning, a typhoon was coming our way... So, instead of reaching up for the cobwebs on my ceiling, I decided to tend my garden and remove the difficult-to-pull wild grass...The soil was...

Nickfyoung Yes, planting trees. I have a few to take out first and be replaced with fruit bearing trees. If you are going to grow trees you might as well get some fruit from them. Ornamental trees are OK but fruit trees can be just as attractive. We have some...

Nickfyoung Sorry to have been away for so long. We moved house and it took several months to finalize it so we were without internet in temporary accommodation. The lots here are quite large, 1000 sq m being a small one and it frustrates me to see them with all grass...

Nickfyoung It is generally believed that mankind is not capable of making a choice for God due to his inherited corruptness from the fall. It is up to the Holy spirit to draw men to him to a point that they are able to do that believing. The argument is in part why...

Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao gave the world a lesson on BOXING 101 as he outclassed the much bigger and more aggressive Mexican boxer Margarito in last Sunday's welter weight title bout. Once again, the world witnessed how a...

Nickfyoung Why not. He has enough money so that corruption would not be a temptation and a real heart for the Philippine people. I would not be surprised in the least if we saw him president in the years to come.

Nickfyoung Your allies are issuing travel warnings for it's own citizens, not for yours. Too many travelers are targeted for kidnappings etc. because they can get more cash for them. You can't blame a government for trying to protect it's own citizens. I know that...

Nickfyoung Sounds like the wine was not to her taste and the streets are pretty busy and there was no men there she fancied. Young women are generally not wine drinkers anyway. I imagine that the streets there could be a bit daunting if you were a young woman on your...

Nickfyoung With the diversity of dialects in the Philippines, it is good to see that the government teaches English from 1st. year school. It is a pleasure to visit there and be able to communicate.
