la ville de cebu

the white building is the islands most luxurious hotel called the waterfront (les riches). it faces south to the strait and beyond, the island of mactan. at its foot sprawls a carpet of makeshift houses. (les pauvres). a good picture of the countrys state of affairs. the widening gap of classes.

heard from mina. she sent me a postcard to a previous address and its returned to her. shes been working in the states for a long time. weve lost touch over the years. she said there are still massive layoffs. she got laid off last may but managed to find work a month later. phew je pense. now shes trying to land a job in germany. it never stops. i hope she makes it. incidentally, i started studying german last month. slow as usual but ive started. guten morgen .. guten abend .. gute nacht. :o)

avec français. j'ai revisité une chanson ancien quand j'étais au debut du ma étudier français. c'était appelais (j'aime guy). c'étais petit et simple que je l'aimé immédiatement.

THE KNIGHT'S CURSE - a noble sidhe knight was cursed to roam 

arcadia. in order for her to break the curse, she needs to step 

thru the maze and end up where she started. for example 

14 is her last step which brings her back to 01, her first 

step. 



RULES 

(1) knight moves like in chess like an L 

(2) she can only proceed on a 'clean' step. 

clean means she hasnt taken that step before.

(3) she can start anywhere on the map.

THE KNIGHT'S MAP - this is just one map. there are 

many maps to break the curse. chlodwig came by it 

by accident in one of his secret experiments.
