Any Cebuanas here living in Pennsylvania? I just arrived here two months ago thru K1 visa and will have my biometrics on d 22nd of April. I haven't meet any Filipinos near in my place in Shavertown. It would be nice and a big help in my adjustment if I will meet some filipinos here.... By the way, I grew up in Dalaguete, Cebu!!!!!

I was born and raised in ILOCOS NORTE and i stayed in manila for 3 years...

Glad to meet a lots of pinoy here in VJ's medyo homesick n po ako...

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

Could you hear Coyotes there too? I bet you hear Coyotes everywhere you go. Peek-a-boo...I see you. I wonder why the OP never posts on this thread anymore. or Maybe she still does.

Very nice pictures showcasing the celebration of life in Davao. I fancy it as the Davao version of Mardi Gras. Ain't I lucky to be in Davao in August last year to witness such a spectacular festival!
