POPSSeagulls, Sea Lions and a Monster Sundae Doing some research though for this blog entry, I found out that we were probably wrong about the bevy of females—it turns out that most sea lions that hang out in that area are actually male. So now should I be jealous of the few females who are in the bunch because the odds are in their favor? Hah

POPSFor The First Time (A Movie Review) Kung may mga pelikulang kinokonsidera ng mga producer na isang sugal, ang For the First Time definitely ay hindi kasama sa mga pelikulang iyon.
