And to put things on order I dare say I reinstated her as...

American soldiers used Philippines as their base during that time, so I guess you get the picture now. But enough of that disgusting talk and lets proceed with the real topic. I have listed here five iconic kissing scenes in history that I could...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid all started with Greg Heffley's desire to write a journal and eventually became a phenomenal hit among young readers.
