I’ve been too busy to post as of late. I’ll get back to it soon. Until then, I’m wishing myself a Happy Birthday for August 26th…

So, what does it all add up to? I find myself sitting at my computer, no longer confined to a closed, air-conditioned room reminiscent of a medium security prison. The windows are open and the breeze is strangely strong – coming in from the direction of the mountains. This really saves on the electric bill [...] So, it’s been quite a while since my last blog post. Not a very effective use of my monthly expenditure for web hosting – but, in this case, it really couldn’t be helped. As luck would have it, I ended up back in the hospital just before my scheduled move. This time, it was a [...] After careful consideration, I knew that I wanted to get out of Pasic City (Metro Manila) and move out to the provinces. So, my brother-in-law suggested that I check out two houses for potential relocation. The first house was a small two bedroom place located on his family’s compound (several houses and a small sari-sari store). It was okay. But the next place was amazing. I originally attempted to post something to my blog – but I just didn’t have anything to say. Now I know why. There was a change a comin’ and I needed to be handed that piece of info before I could sit down and actually have something worthwhile to say. What change, might you ask. Is it good? Is it bad? Pray tell – what could make you resort to such antiquated terms as “pray tell”? Trust me – it’s not all palm trees and coconuts in Pasig City. It’s more like 3rd world city and washing the naked kiddies out on the sidewalk, as I head out from my sub-division and into the main town. Seriously, all I need is a camera and I could work for National Geographic. Time to get to the place where I want to eventually retire… A belated “Happy New Year” to all. I’ve been running myself ragged, as of late. This is mostly due to setting up my new oDesk company (“Two Sticks and a Hammer Productions™” – I’ll let you in on the reason why I named it that a bit later). The main orientation is set for Wednesday, [...] Alma bought a can of Spam for this – which I thought was hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, I could have asked for anything, but I let her be frugal since we ended up with over 40 people on our Christmas list (!!) That’s a lot of presents – but fortunately there were five Wednesdays in December, so I had an extra payday to cover all this. It was also Alma’s first Christmas tree (that she actually owned – they had one in Hong Kong where she worked every year for the 16 years she was there). So that was good. Below is a picture of niece Rancel all dressed up for a beauty contest that her college gave in order to raise funds for their educational programs. She’s a pretty good kid. At 17, she’s a freshman in college and work part time at a local Starbucks. |
