Quiet Sunday reading
One of the things I enjoy about Sundays, is a chance to sit back and read. Nearly all of the books I have are historical ones, mostly American. I recently bought a book about the first relations between the Americans and the Filipinos, back in the 1890's.

Miscommunication
<p>One of the challenges I have found in trying to maintain a long distance relationship is that of keeping in touch. For some time now I have a very good and sincere relationship with another FE member and when the opportunity was right for me to make that decision to invest time and money to buy a ticket to the Philippines I looked around and found a great deal.</p>
