Captivating Filipina

She is bronze colored in complexion... She is not too tall nor too small.. She is found along high rise buildings to sidewalks.. She dresses according to the 90's, to the latest moda... She has her own unique style... She has of brilliance undefined.. She has the hands soft to caress and rough to grip.. She has of eloquence: smile that soothes... She is from the southeastern seas.. She belongs to islands of myriads history.. She comes from the land of the tropics.. She stands out among the crowd.. Empowered through high quality education.. Unbreakable by dozens of life experiences.. Molded flexible enough by Her culture Zest enough to face the whole world.. Wether in the most sophisticated way.. To the simplest servant you can see at home... What makes her so captivated... Her full blown nationality of being a Filipina... © O. E.
