    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Plenty of Bajau in Cebu, Dumaguete and Bohol, they are the Jackdaws of south east Asia, not to be trusted!

    That's what I mean by losing their culture Michael, nowadays they are a new generation and content to dive for coins thrown from ships by passangers, 20 years ago down in their own little cluster of islands in their own environment they were a different people to the ones that have migrated northwards to beg in harbours
