I haven living with ADD (or ADHD) isn’t as easy as some people think … nor is living with an Internet Service Provider who thinks that providing little or no service 12 or 14 hours a day is acceptable. (I’d be totally up to speed if I get up at three am every day, the [...]
Many of my readers here also know my friend Bob Martin in Davao City, Minanao, Philippines. Bob is running a seminar How To Make Money in the Philippines!.
For those who are there or who might feel like traveling, I am pretty sure it will be worth it. Bob speaks with authority, conviction and [...]
Here’s a really scary incident, hardly even reported in the US … 20 something hours later I can only read about it on UK, Filipino and Australian sites.
A Qantas flight from London to Melbourne by way of Hong Kong somehow developed a huge hole in it’s side and made an emergency landing at Manila yesterday.
It’s [...]
One of the issues that stops many families with children from moving to the Philippines is the perception that they can’t get a good education for their children there .
As a matter of opinion I feel that the Philippine public schools are, in most cases, woefully lacking. If you disagree, fine, send your kids there [...]
OK, OK, I know, terrible pun, but it’s the start of my weekend, I’m feeling silly and besides, it’s all Ellen’s fault … I’m innocent, I swear. Faithful reader Ellen just left this comment:
Already happened to me :). Btw, have you experienced this difference in hz also - like 50 hz and 60 hz? I [...]
In the military we had an expression for years that essentially meant you were only as good as your performance on your very last task .. One "Aw Shoot (sometimes different words were used ;-)) Wipes Out All Your Attaboys". Didn’t always seem fair, but hey, life itself isn’t always fair, is it?
Since we moved [...]

Ok I promised a lot here. trying to organize in my mind how I will put this series together and I don’t know if I have it figured out right … but times a wasting so I will take my best shot. For anyone who feels [...]
My posting schedule on my usual living in the Philippines subjects has been a bit spares lately … in a few hours it should improve … like Major League baseball I have been on the All Star break, but the game kicks off, live, in just a couple minutes (8 am Philippine Time on Wednesday).
I’ve [...]
A few weeks back I mentioned a number of ways to get yourself set up on line in the Philippines so that you could call the US or friends and family back home could call you for very little or even zero cost.
One of the faithful here, Marshall who hails from California bought a [...]
Came across this little snippet the other day and thought didn’t know of. there are a couple more I know of that are not on this list also. Off the top of my head I could mention would be General Motors, Yahoo!, DHL and FedEx.
Now if you are dealing with a Fortune 50 or even [...]
If this is the kind of place you were thinking about when envisioning where you might stay in the Philippines, then I have an answer for you.
Not ‘the answer, because with 7100 plus islands there are nearly that many places to stay in the Philippines, but this, indeed, is a beauty.
It’s also on the [...]

Here’s an interesting, well-recommended destination location I came across recently. Please note that this particular property is not one that I have stayed at, yet, but several trustworthy friends have. I thought it was well worth featuring because so many hotels and resorts don’t bother to have a website, especially with [...]

Just came across this video today courtesy of an old friend from the Philippines/US, Ken Rice. he has some others on his site that may be of interest.
This was of particular interest to me because I go to Clark, Subic and farther north in Zambales where some family members live, essentially all around the base [...]
Using the phone? What kind of a subject is that, Dave?
Well, number one perhaps a break from some of my over technical posts. Number two, I find it’s something a lot of people have a big problem with … especially calling the Philippines from overseas, which is what I’ll focus on here.
What Time Is It? [...]
