Every time I have a newspaper on my hand, I always check the entertainment section, not to read the comics part, but to read my horoscope.

Long before the coming of the Spaniards, there already existed an extensive region (consisting of the present provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Abra and La Union) renowned for its gold mines. Merchants from Japan and China would often visit the area to trade gold with beads, ceramics and silk. The inhabitants of the region believed to be of Malay origin, called their place "samtoy", from "

Scenic Bohol casts an enigmatic charm drawn from the many archaic mementos spread throughout the oval-shaped island - from unique rock formations to a 45-million-year-old mammal species, from massive stone watchtowers built by the Spaniards in the 18th century. Surrounding the mainland are 73 other smaller offshore islands and islets whose palm-fringed coastlines are rimmed by white sand and

I watch it on TV. To be honest, I was not sure who was going to win. If Juan Manuel Marquez won it, I would have questions, just the same, for two two reasons: he was knocked out ( I saw the power punch of Manny Pacquiao), and his below the belt punch on Manny which would have merit a deduction.It could have gone either way.But Manny Pacquiao derserve the win.

Nowadays, having a good, if not excellent internet connection with 0% downtime is a must. Most of our daily activities and many of our needs can be comforted with a very fast internet connection.
