It's been a little while
Sorry to my family and friends for not keeping this thing up to date... I haven't had a whole lot of time with working and traveling... I have started to take advantage of my location and how many cool places I can visit for realitively cheap! Most weekends I find myself either on an airplane or a boat going to one island or another... I have been all over Cebu now, the Bantayan Islands, Bohol and started to explore Manila a little - Subic bay, Clark, downtown Manila - etc.... I spent about a week in Cambodia a few months ago and a day in Thailand. I will get all of these pictures posted ASAP -
I have finally upgraded my house too!! woo hoo! I found a great house in an awesome location at a price cheaper than my previous house - the only catch was that it wasn't furnished... Good thing furniture is somewhat cheap over here... However, I did splurge a little on a new LCD tv and sound system.... I mean I had too - all of the pirated movies out here! I am enjoying my new digs - My maid loves the place too - I gave her a decent size room and bought her a new bed - she loves moving things around and organizing things in her pinoy way - (I move things back to what makes sense) - Molly seems to really like the place too - there are a lot of bookshelves and gates she can climb on - even a few trees... The only thing I don't like are two HUGE rats that are living outside... I'm telling you - these things are at least a foot long... what sucks about it is that Molly likes them - They will come right up to her cage and she will sit there and pet them and groom them - ewww... I told her that I don't like her hanging out with animals like them but I don't think she understands... I have tried rat poison, sticky traps - throwing rocks (I hit one but he still got away...) My next move is to buy a BB gun and do some hunting - I will let you know how it goes....
I promise I will post some pics soon of everything I talked about...

Dengue Fever
I hate it!!! stupid mosquitoes - I woke up about 2 weeks ago full of mosquito bites on my arm - I laughed a little and joked with my maid that I probably had dengue... I should have knocked on wood... well low and behold I ended up getting a 106 degree temperature - that lasted for 4 days and a wonderful pounding headache followed by orbital cramps in my eyes and seized up calf muscles, an awesome rash covering my WHOLE body... I was in and out of the hospital for about 4 days getting blood drawn from the only vein they could find... over and over and over again (I have a sweet green bruise to prove it..) Don't worry people, I am not going to die... I am actually getting a lot better - I think I am at about 75% health now and about 10 lbs lighter. needless to say I have bought stock in bug-on and I hunt and kill mosquitoes on a daily basis in my house.... god bless the philippines! read up some more at:

starting off the new year
Well - I have not done that great of a job on keeping this as up-to-date as I thought I would but hey... what can you expect. So 2008 has now arrived and the new year brought a lot of hard work with it - So my life has really just been work work work... and just a little bit of play. There is really not anything exciting to update on other than my recent trip to Bohol which was amazing!! I went with my buddy James and we ended up going to a very provincial area where most tourists don't go - but wow this place was amazing, truly a slice of paradise...
I spent most of my time at this beach... AMAZING
Nice little beach behind me...
Showing off my muscles...
Just lookin good - what can I say....
I was caught off guard here....
Is it just me or do I look like a cartoon here
This was my transportation for the trip...
Me being mature and acting my age..
Molly grooming her new friend meow meow
