I find it amazing that there is a lot of information can be found about the country that I was born in.  So I thought I would share some of this with you, as you search I’ve put some information hear for all to share and pass it all around.  I am proud to be a filipina/americano and love both country that I born and raised in the US.  I’ve travelled other places and lived in United Kingdom and was amazed that there are alot of filipinos living and working there as well!  Some have married british husbands and children that grew up but know that they’re heritage is a wonderful island that has more history to tell and share with everyone.

The nursing field is filled with filipino nurses in all of the hospitals in around the UK (Wales, Scotland & England)…if any of you ever get a chance to visit the UK, I encourage you to do so…Wales, Scotland and England has many to offer to make your stay a pleasant one.

I hope that you come back often and see what else I’ve written…comments, suggestion are welcome as well as criticism.

The Halloween Kiss

The Kiss

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets  into the cab, and  notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop  staring at her.  She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: “I have a question to ask, but I  don’t  want to offend you”

She answers, ” My son, you cannot offend me.  When  you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a   chance to see and hear just about everything. I’ m sure that there’s   nothing y ou could say or ask that I would find  offensive.”

“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun  kiss  me.”

She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do  about  that -
1) you have to be single and
2) you must be  Catholic.”

The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes,  I’m  single and Catholic!”
“OK” the nun says. “Pull into the next  alley.”

The nun fulfils his fantasy with a kiss that  would make a hooker blush.

But when they get back on the road, the cab  driver starts crying.

“My dear child,” said the nun, why are you crying?”

“Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess, I’m married and I’m  Jewish.”

The nun says, “That’s OK.  My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party!”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all and have a safe halloween trick or treating!! Ever wonder what the story behind this celebration?  Well, here it is…enjoy reading and have a safe halloween!!

History

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [?s?aun?]; from the Old Irish samain).^[1] The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes ^[2] regarded as the “Celtic New Year”.^[3] Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.^{[4][5]  (courtesy of Wikipedia)}
