Mithra (vox) is from up north, Govinda (djembe) is from Mindanao, every member from a different part of the Philippines. Kadangyan is an Ifuego word meaning rich in culture.

But now that I think about it, I remember that Mithra sometimes mixes languages in his songs.

6. Maybe you didn't run away, Maggie.

Maybe you ran toward a better way of living. That's what I did. :)

11. Do you mean "to" the Philippines?

Or, you ran away when you were in the Philippines?

12. I was waiting for that question.

Work sent me here in May. I let the return flight leave without me on board. I told my boss I was staying longer, apparently she did not think I was serious.

But I was.

Why go back just to get a pat on the back and told I've made myself redundant? :shrug:

13. I take it

you work in some sort of manufacturing and/or technology field and that is why you went there in the first place?

Are you of Filipino descent at all?

16. Thank you for that.

We'll see how it turns out.

And DU is the greatest. Nowhere else can I get the kind of quality information and snarkiness that I desire.

Not to mention the people behind the posts.

:toast: to the Underground
