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...

Wow Ben! I have heard about the ginormous rats of the Philippines from Derek. Gald I'm not there to see them for myself!
