Religious Procession Through The Town Center
Sometimes interesting things cross your path, in this case literally, which is why I’m glad I almost always have my camera with me! We had just been dropped off in town by the tricycle so we could walk down the street and do a little shopping when we heard a bunch of loud bangs and…

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 in Real Life
Photo © Catherine Jamieson I don’t know how many of you have read this book, but it was required reading for me in high school. Luckily, it was a book that I actually enjoyed, unlike quite a few Emily Bronte novels that I’d have happily thrown on Guy’s stack for burning. The basic premise of…

Doraemon Curtains!
I haven’t talked much about my personal life on this blog, but just for the sake of making this more understandable, I recently moved to the Philippines and am staying at my in-law’s house until my wife and I find work in Manila. At some time or another, most of the members of her family…

Old Spaghetti House at Galleria
Yesterday afternoon, after a day of running around trying to do job interviews and visit the GSIS office for my father-in-law, we stopped by Galleria on our way home to have dinner.

Ok, so one of them isn’t really a juice drink, but I love coffee so I couldn’t resist picking one up. I bought these at a shop in Singapore that specialized in Japanese canned drinks and sake. They were on a 10 for 10 SGD sale so I figured, why not? They were all pretty…

Which Sounds More Creepy? Muslim Call To Prayer Vs Catholic Rosary Chanting
The first time I heard the Muslim call to prayer was in Iraq in 2003 when my unit was set up near a mosque in the outskirts of Baghdad. It was strange, but it didn’t sound necessarily bad. In fact, there’s a very musical quality to it that’s easy to appreciate when you’re not letting…

Naruto Ramen Soup
If you look at the red underlined portion under the menu item ‘Batchoy’ you’ll see that the ramen includes ‘naruto’. I don’t watch Naruto but I was really amused when I saw this. I was wondering if it was a typo or if there actually is something called ‘naruto’. Well, turns out that naruto is…

Lungs, Ears and Brains: Exotic Filipino Foods
The meat on the plate is actually pig lungs, boiled and fried. My wife and her brother enjoy it and convinced me to try some. It wasn’t horrible, but I didn’t think it was all that good either. I probably won’t eat that again. The meat on the stick, however is a grilled pig ear. …

Birds in my Bedroom
Despite the fact that there are gates and unscreened windows in the house, we haven’t seen too many random animals inside, other than the occasional cat rapist. Last night, it was pouring rain outside. We opened the back door to our bedroom, which opens onto a veranda, so we could bring in the laundry before…
