An Australian Friend!

A few weeks ago we had a somebody here for a visit. He is from Australia. His name is Leon. We've known Leon over the internet for almost for 15 years now. He was a member of the forum that Bob created over the internet. When we moved here in the Philippines 7 years ago Bob and Leon still e-mailing each other. One thing his been e-mailing Bob is how the dental work here and the cost in the Philippines? Bob told him that it's cheap and the quality of the job is good too. So he was searching on the internet and found some sites that cater to foreigners. So he asked Bob if we know some dentist here in Davao? Bob told him that we know of a good dentist … [Read more...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

To all the Mom out there Happy, Happy Mother's Day. I hope you guys have a good mother's day. I received a message from somebody last sunday and said that " Motherhood is a tough 24 hour job: No pay, No day off, most often unappreciated; and yet resignation is impossible!". It's kind of funny and true, but you know what it's very rewarding when our kids say I love you and give a hug. At least they gave us one day off. ;-) That's all that matter. … [Read more...]

Shopping!

Wow, It's been awhile since I last post on this blog. I know it's not an excuse to be busy. Yesterday I brought my son to his doctor's appointment. On our way home while walking, we saw a furniture store. I decided to go inside. I was in awe upon looking at their stuff. It was really nice. The quality of the furnitures and paintings are very good. It's not affordable for the regular people in the Philippines. I think they cater mostly to foreigners. I saw one painting cost P200,000.00. For me it will just be a window shopping. I don't think I will purchase stuff from them. It's expensive. … [Read more...]

College Days!!!!

I really did enjoy my college days in Cebu. I  lived in a boarding house just right across the school. In that place it is exclusive for girls only that live there, which one thing that attracted me to that place. Visitors are not allowed to enter the third floor area where the  room of the boarders are located. There's a visitors lounge at the 2nd level though. It was so convenient because whenever you forgot something it's not a long ways for you to go home and get it. Also it's near to the shopping places of Cebu City. One thing too in my studies that i took, i have to go to different radio station and observed or any places that deals with … [Read more...]
