1. We went last night for my daughter’s birthday dinner at Baytul Mal Food Hub, located along
Canelar Road, Zamboanga City. I phoned to book a table and I am glad I did because even
though it was a Tuesday, it was really busy. The service was wonderful and the food was
amazing. We had dim sum to start followed by several different dishes and everything was
gorgeous. The price was very reasonable too, we were a party of 6 and it was just over Php
200.00 a head including our drinks. The atmosphere was great along with the decor, thank you
for a lovely evening, we will be back soon!

2. Leamus was blinded, he turned his head away, wrenching wildly at Liz’s arm. Now she was
swinging free; he thought she had slipped and he called frantically, still drawing her upwards. He
could see nothing - only a mad confusion of color dancing in his eyes. Then came the hysterical
wail of sirens, orders frantically shouted. Half kneeling astride the wall he grasped both her arms
in his, and began dragging her to him inch by inch, himself on the verge of falling. (The Spy
Who Came in from the Cold)

Nature

How much you have to offer!

O! My mother nature,
Soothing all those who suffer,
O! Abode of all creatures
Your gentle touch is felt,
When fresh gust rushes,
Or a sweet flower is smelt,
Blooming under thick bushes.
