eileenleyva @topffer Waiting for that, too. He must receive punishment for all the lives he has taken. This Pulitzer Prize is a validation that the creature is guilty.

eileenleyva @yugocean I don't like make-up, actually. Many people need it though. Glad you don't need it. You must be endowed with beauty.

eileenleyva @silvermist Thank you. Yes, I am sure many of our journalists are dreaming of the same acclamation now. It is incumbent upon them to write better from this day on. Manny Mogato is indeed an inspiration.

eileenleyva @topffer Geez, thanks for this. I got lost in translation but was delighted, the map on names, something we don't have here, was definitely interesting. Oh, I wish this leadership ends, so your people with the same surname will no longer be offended.

eileenleyva I was basketball varsity. Played in the WNCAA. I ran, I played volleyball and did laps on the pool. Enrolled my daughters in karatedo. They love swimming. Sports, at some time in one's life, is a must. If not interested, just walk or dance.

eileenleyva @epiffanie Jacob and Esau were twins. Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Jacob, with the help of his mother, fooled his father, pretended he was Esau and received the blessings. The twins had to part. Decades later, old and grey, the brothers met...
