hi beatles fan,
I've been a member for a while but had a little trying to post puzzlers. Only just wanted to say hi from a long time resident of the Philippines. Only problem is that I lived there from 1947 to 1957 when we moved there after WWII when my dad became gm of USLife for the Far East. I am a Filipino at heart as the Philippines is where I grew up. Last time I was there was when I left Viet Nam to be discharged and returned to the States. By the dates I lived in and around Manila you certainly can figure out that I am an elderly citizen. We moved to Manila when I was 5 and left (kicking and screaming) at 15.
But enough about this old balut eater, please tell me about your self, if you care as I grew up there and I am planning to return.
Salamat and Mabuhy,
theidiot
