Goats Everywhere
One of the first things I noticed on my first trip to the Philippines was two goats tied to the side of a building in downtown Manila, near NAIA. It was so amusing that I took a photo of it through the cab window. That was back in 2008, but things are still the same. …

If You Stink, GTFO of my FX!
People smelling horrible in public transportation is something that I, unfortunately, had to get accustomed to in Singapore. I don’t know why, but even with constant running water and plenty of soap being available, some people in Singapore have no clue when it comes to personal hygiene. I’ve heard some people try to use the…

LBC and the Cat Welcoming Committee
Slowly but surely we’re making minor improvements to our living arrangements. It’s something of an uphill battle and I’ve been trying to clean and organize as I go, with short dedicated periods of cleaning up every day.

Our last day in Singapore was a pretty exciting one. We went downtown, saw menstrual blood splattered all over a…

The Philippines is a VERY Catholic Country
When I think of the US, my first thought is that, for the most part, it’s a Christian country. There are churches everywhere. In even the smallest towns, there’s at least one church. However, the idea and enforcement of a separation between church and state has made the religious nature of the country a lot…

Living Without Our Cats
Right now I’m in Singapore and my cats are in the Philippines. We transported them there earlier this month by plane, but had to return to Singapore briefly to wrap up some loose ends. So, I thought to myself that this would be a great break! No need to scoop cat turds. No need to…

Unthinkable Is a Brutal, Must Watch Movie
The movie Unthinkable uses the current problem of Muslim extremists attacking the US as a backdrop for a psychological thriller that wants you to question how far you would go to protect your country. The big issues in the film are justice versus torture and whether the good of the many should be sacrificed for…
