One of the foremost concerns of foreign spouses living in the Philippines is the availability of job options. For some, it is easy as pie. For others, it is a more complicated deal.
If you speak English and you have taught the language before (OR think that you can teach it), you may be interested in [...]

The Way of the Fist
I love hammy movie stars. Heck, I spent all of Saturday night watching John Rambo and Commando. I spend hours looking up Chuck Norris stuff. So why can’t I deal with the fact that J gets into fights?
Our Ideal Vacation
Only 5 days more and J and I will be on our way to a “real” vacation! Though we have been on several trips in the past several months, we haven’t had a long one since May of 2008. This time, we’re going away for 5 days..thought I’d take a quiz to see [...]
Job Hunting in the Philippines for Foreigners
Before J came over, we didn’t really worry about him finding a job here in the Philippines. Sad it may be to say, there is still a bias towards Caucasians. You’re white, you get a lot of things that may not be available to the locals. We thought that he’d get a job in the [...]

“You do it. If I do, they will just overcharge me.”

I don’t buy newspapers. Come to think of it, I do not see any newspaper stands on my way to work.
I find myself getting bored or becoming sad because of what I read.
You Need an I-CARD
See that? Yeah, it’s fuzzy on purpose but THAT is my hubby’s I-Card.
Big Day For J
We didn’t get much sleep last night for some reason. I suppose both of us were quite excited and apprehensive about today. You see, J got two calls yesterday – both for job interviews. He hasn’t been working with a “real” company for the past 8 months or so. As you [...]
From Razr to 1208
***Cross post from Dreamwalkersworld***
Trust me to highlight the consumerist aspect of things. What happened yesterday has deeper significance than the loss of Jerry’s cell phone but for the life of me, I cannot think of a more “serious” post title. I suppose it is an effort to make light of the situation? After all, we [...]
