By bubblymom• 20 Oct 2010 08:21

that's ok Fathimah, neither do I. i barely listen to my history teacher and sleeps after a minute of reading my history book. LOL

By FathimaH• 20 Oct 2010 08:17

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_occupation_of_the_Philippines

Maybe I used the wrong words. Not invaders but "occupiers" History was never my strong point..lol

By bubblymom• 20 Oct 2010 08:12

as far as i remember my history right, we were never invaded by Brits. :)

By FathimaH• 20 Oct 2010 08:04

At least one country loves their former invaders..lol. Everyone else just celebrates their independence from them but trust the ever friendly people of Philippines to celebrate with them! The world isn't so bad after all..All the best,lovely people =D
