Are you Filipino?  I see those pretty eyes and I wondered when I saw the hub.  My ex-inlaws contain some individuals from Philippines.  I had always considered them friendly and outgoing folks.  They always told me that the Philippines were beautiful and now I see why.  Breathtaking.  Thank you for the hub.  Maybe someday my wife and I can go for a second honeymoon.  Or should I say first honeymoon because we've yet to go on one.  Anyway, thanks again for the look-see.
