Refrigerating Party Animals

Tidbits of information today, plus how are 4th of July party went. I’ve noticed that here in the Philippines, or at least here in Calbayog, that kids can go to whatever school they want to. It doesn’t have to be within your district. I thought that interesting because, unless they changed it in the US, it is not that way at all. The school you must go to is dictated to you. Soon, when I...

Globe Freezer

Unfortunately, I am running a little late with this post. It could not be helped though. I was locked out of my own website for a still unknown reason. I was also locked out of my other website for 3 days. My host didn’t know what was wrong and after talking with my internet provider and them telling me they would send out maintenance tomorrow, it came up. I’m not canceling my appointment...

Texas Islander Post

Evidently, I’m running a little late with this post, but it’s better than the times I was going for a month or two without a post. I’ve been doing a lot of work on my other blog, UJ Space A Info, trying to get people to visit there, subscribe and click on my ads. I’m not allowed to promise them anything in return for clicking on my ads, but I try to get as much updated...

Renovations

Recently I have and we have had a few things going on around here, but nothing Earth shattering. We did get a new TV, so now we have two. The new one is a 32″ DeVant and we placed it in the dining room since we do not have a living room yet. The older TV we had in there we gave to our goddaughter/niece Patricia. She’s only 5 years old so she shares it with the rest of her family. ...

Poem, Wedding and Parties

Recently Christian at Mango finally did something that he said he would do long ago. He always does what he says he’s going to do, but sometimes it takes a little while. Anyway, a while back, I can’t even remember how long ago now, I wrote a poem for Mango Lounge. Christian liked it so much he said that he will have it put on the wall of the restaurant. It is finally on there. I wrote the...

Yankee Cousin and Expat Charity

Recently I saw a Facebook video about a guy that started making bunk beds for children that didn’t have a bed to sleep in. Here is a link to their website in case it’s something that you are interested in Sleep in Heavenly Peace. That got me to thinking about maybe what the expats in our community here could do for some of the less fortunate here in our city. I do not think that bunk beds...

Frustrating Day

Frustrating days are not so common for me around here. Normally everything is either fine or boring, but not frustrating. Today was an exception, I got frustrated. Nothing that is life-changing, but definitely out of the norm. It all started early this morning when Lita decided that we needed more vegetables to make my stew today. I ate the last one from the freezer yesterday. We don’t have...
