The land of warrior shaman, Aswang, and no place for American Gods." Rose bit her lip. She offered him her hand: a strong American handshake from a head-hot American: "My apologies. I'd rather you called me Rose. And I can call you...?" "Ambrosio. The Queen is expecting you." Rose laughed. "And will this enchanting Queen eat me?"

But I cared that I’m tardy for work. I took my phone out for Facebook and decided that I’d rather waste the time on things that my friends post, those gossip-worthy ‘my days’, and shares in my newsfeed. I ticked the open mobile data when a Yahoo notification popped in. I clicked it since I was suddenly interested on what news it has for me. Philippines was catching international attention due to trending news lately. NAIA was closed for an hour. Philippine Government Warmly Welcomes the Richest Man in the World, Sean Herald.

As always, despite the many disasters that come into the people’s lives there, they could still muster a wide smile. The Freeds, or what they call the citizens of the country, are known to be some of the most cheerful people in the world, no matter what disaster happens. They can still smile, even if they are sick or healthy, rich or poor. But everything is about to change. The current President, Jaime Aquino, has made this country into a first-world country. Before he took office, Freelipinas was always lacking in the field of economics. The country was so poor. Every Freeds was suffering from hunger.

She chuckled and help me with my luggage, “So, how was the country of Philippines?” she asked. I held my remaining bag to her and I answered her, saying “still the same, but it's hard to understand their different languages.” Yeah, Filipinos do have that, it depends on their province. But I'm still amazed that I can communicate with them handily. She giggled, “haha, you will get used to it, soon, anyway, wanna grab some lunch?” She offered but I refused. I want to buy something for my mother.

I just pouted before I lay down on their sofa here in the office. I even made an account on social media just to see some government pages so I could at least see the president. While scrolling, I immediately saw the tourism ambassador of the Philippines that Ares was talking about. I sit up properly while staring at her picture. The girl looks so fine. I think she's half-American and half-Filipina. She has that soft look and a pretty smile. I pouted because Zelo's weakness is pretty smiles.

The funniest you wouldn't want to miss, and the most caring you want to keep. They just know us because of our wrong doings but when you tried to live here, you would understand that this is a country full of respect. Even when you heard a cuss here, they just laugh at you because Filipinos are born to be funny,to gave happiness in others. It's really right that "IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES."

Lucas interfered. “How do you guys adjusted yourselves when you got here in the Philippines? our cultures are quite big to yours?” Joshua asked. I was amazed at him because he has the audacity to ask. “Well, let me answer first. Filipino is too friendly and hospitable. I remember the first time I got here in the Philippines. I can’t speak English fluently during that time. They’ve accommodated me. I also remember those crews to the fast-food restaurants. They helped me when I lost.” Giselle answered. I can see that Joshua is smiling and having a romantic excitement.

"But I realized those topics aren't educational or relevant enough for our course requirements. We need to think of recent issues or topics that are closely related to human rights and laws. How about the human rights crisis in the Philippines? Does that sound fine to you?" Goodness! This man was truly very strange! Does he seriously like reading and studying about murder cases?

Hindi na iyon pwedeng ipagpaliban pa, dahil matagal nang naghihintay sa akin. “Yes, anak,” Tumango pa ako. “But, our real home is in the Philippines.” Lagi ko naman na ipinapaliwanag iyon, para kung dumating man sa puntong kailangan naming umuwi. Hindi na ako mahihirapan pa na ipaliwanag sa kanila. Tumango lang siya sa akin, at muling ibinalik ang atensyon sa panonood ng telebisyon. Sa mahigit pitong taon na lumipas, sa US ang naging tahanan namin. Dito ako dinala ni Miss Manager matapos ang huling pangyayari na pinagdaanan ko sa Pilipinas.

That's one of the oldest places on earth as the bible says; it's one of the holy places. Is this why Elijah looks like this? His beauty as a man seems to be unmatched. Whether I admit it to myself or not, people were so beautiful back then that over time, people's looks seem to change as well. There are different races so the appearance changes. Even in America, there are few pure Americans left. Everyone has a different race. Even in the Philippines, it is the same. The Philippines were colonized by Spaniards for 400 years.
