International Living, Marriage & Travel

I am discussing this topic because I had experienced being homesick twice - in London and also in the US. Being away from the family during that time with no internet was critical that it can change the decision of the person. In London I spent 4 months and refused to be extended work while in the U...

I think the best part of where I'm currently living is the weather, there is no winter here, and the close proximity that is has towards stores for our daily needs and 24-hour convenience stores are the perks in my area. The weather was the crux why I went back home from London and from the US. I w...

I also love Chinese food because it is part of our culture. However, one time in Hongkong we were treated to Lamb Biryani by a friend. That changed the landscape of my personal menu. Now Lamb Biryani is my favorite foreign food. Unfortunately there is no restaurant that has that dish. Oh well, back ...

I know that it is expensive but you have to save money for that purpose. When you grow old it is not good to tr...

Years ago when me and my ex wife separated, my sons were about 7 and 9. One of the hardest parts about trying to raise them and dating was trying to decide what type of woman I should introduce them to. For me, the main consideration of a separation is the children. It is painful to realize that th...

Our country has thousands of islands so there are countless of coastal areas. However, some coastal areas have dirty water because of the pollution. They are mostly the areas near Manila. You have to travel down south of maybe 3 hours drive to find a better beach with clean sea water. The most popul...

I do not watch CNN news because it is biased against Trump even if Trump is not in office anymore CNN keeps on bashing him. BBC is my favorite news channel because it is fair in reporting and usually it covers the whole world. Even the news about the Philippines is there in BBC.
