Living In Cebu, Philippines

Things are still going great. Still having the time of my life. I feel pretty good, except in the mornings of course. I’ve been walking a bit more at night rather than the day to avoid the sun. Jessie and a friend have been pointing out some cities in Luzon and Mindanao that are in the mountains and the temperatures are much nicer. I’d hate to leave Bogo City but those cooler temperatures sure sound nice to me and the pictures I’ve seen of the places are awesome.

I’ve been busy working on my sites at Expats Living In The Philippines and Expats Living in Cebu Site where I have posted quite a bit about living in the Philippines.

I posted, what I think could be a controversial post on my new political blog.
I think gay America is being a bit hypocritical in their attempt to exclude Rick Warren from joining in the Obama inauguration.

I think we are headed to war with Iran. I will write about that on The Hobbyist-Economist.com. The timing would be perfect. We are in a weakened state with the economy doing badly and our two ongoing wars. Hamas is attacking Israel and Hamas is backed by Iran. And we have a change in presidential administration. Obama could bring real change in relations between Muslims and Christians and Iran does not want peace. This is just not looking like a good situation at all!

Jessie and I went to the BBQ by the Bay last night. I should have taken my video camera as there were a group of three or four Pinoy (male Filipino) singing along with an acoustic guitar. They sang very well. Jessie took a couple of pictures for me.

We got the boys bikes for Christmas a bunch of toy trucks and cars along with some super duper water guns which Jessie wants to claim as her own. We also bought the boys a Fisher-Price digital camera. Jessie bought me a billfold. It’s pretty nice and she surprised me with it. I remember her showing me some in from a local catalog but I don’t know if that is where she got it.

I took mostly video during the Christmas celebration but have some pictures too. They will be online soon, many are already online in post on my Cebu Experience site.

With New Year’s Eve approaching, people are singing on their karaoke machines all day long. And singing very badly. When I woke up, I heard no singing and was surprised. I’m hearing it now and have beenf or a couple of hours and when I go to sleep, I’m certain I will be hearing it some more. :)
