That Japanese lady two rows ahead gets the same treatment. She has to talk to th...
Marine Sgt. Junio del Mundo peered through his battered binoculars across the bow of the BRP Teresa Magbanua. The sea mist kicked up by the new Philippine Navy cutter stung his face as he stood there, stolidly watching as they drew closer to the wrecked hulk of the BRP Sierra Madre.

I have been asked, what happened between Syd Poole and Lily Poon after they met on that Chinese New Year in 1997? (Mellow Yellow 16) Theirs is a true love story crossing racial and cultural boundaries. I don't make any apologies if you find this story is a little slow-paced.

But thanks to the light of the sun that came in through the window,...

I had stopped at the mall on my way home from work on a Friday night to buy _Half Life 5._ After I parked in the garage under the apartment building where I lived, there were a few people waiting for the elevators.
