San Carlos Diocese  

revives theater arts

Young love starts bitter. Jason, a self-confessed genius and over-achiever, and Gia, a ‘lost’ starstrcuk transferee, are two college students who came from two opposite poles but found themselves gravitating toward each other as they go through the daily stress and rigors of college life.                                                                                                           NewsRecord Photo

And he played with a scalpel

In a previous article we likened the Mama Sapano operation to that of a surgical operation, a medical term involving an incision using special instruments performed by a well-trained doctor in order to repair damage or arrest disease in a living body.

Food for Tooth

Just dough it!

‘’All sorrows are less with bread.’’ – Miguel de Cervantes

If there’s one business that seems to thrive well in this city of ours, it’s the business of making and selling bread. The last time I checked, there are more than a dozen bakeries dispensing popular items from the best-selling hot pan de sal and fransing to ensaymada, pan de siosa, sliced bread, Spanish rolls, to name a few. At certain times of the year, demand is so great that these bakeries are literally left with empty shelves!

South America

I have just returned to the UK from  Chile and (briefly) Argentina. Readers may be interested in my observations on these two middle developed countries. 

Both were colonised by Spain in the 17th century, and obtained their independence in the mid 19th century. This was long before the Philippines, and unlike the Philippines, independence was gained through local resistance, with no external country involved.

Sa kilid sa dalan

Nahimo nang katulganan sa mga pamilya nga dunay balay apan ganahan gyud matulog diha ubos sa mga estraktura diha kilid sa kanhi  Continental Tower. 

Sa mga nanlabay nga mga bulan dili kaayo na sila daghan diha nga mga tulog. Ang nakasulaw sa konsensya nga mga alas siete pa pasado sa kagabhi-on magbuklad na sila sa ilahang mga karton aron ilang matulgan. Unya sa karon murag nagka daghan na sila nga mangatulog.
