Tarsier : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Tarsier We went to the Chocolate Hills and saw the Tarsiers at the Tarsier Center back in April. Our guide was cool, did a good job taking us all over Bohol on his trike. The best part? Going shopping at the old lady's Native Craft store. I don't remember the name but it's downtown Tagbilaranm near McD's. She had a big story about each item for sale. She sold me a ''stuffed tarsier", only one problem. It was just sawdust glue and coconut fibers. I bought it anyway. My wife found a nice handbag she loved. The old woman said it was seasnake skin. Iit is just leather, stamped leather. My honey loves it anyway. She doesn't care. We have been twice. The first time was a disaster. All my fault and no explanation. ... read more

It's near Mall of Asia but not really, it's near the US Embassy, everyone knows that landmark. It's called Ocean Park. Ronnah and I went there. We had a lot of fun. The fish eat the dead skin off of your feet. At first you want to scream coz it's like an annoying tickle but after a few minutes you start to relax and enjoy the fish spa. Again, this is from earlier this year. I'll be returning in December. Hi Roro!... read more

It's March 2009, LynLyn and I were coming in on the Suplicio Lines boat from Cebu. The night was rough. Crossing from Cebu the wind picked up pretty good and I don't think there was much cargo below. LynLyn was fine, thank God, she had taken here Drammamine about two hours before bed time. Badjao is a tribe in the Philippines that lives in boats. The People of the Sea or Sea-Gypsies. They are here in the port of Iligan. Listen carefully and you'll hear them calling to me because they see my white face ''americano". They're calling in English, "Friend, Friend!" and "money"...hahaha. This guy is telling me not to throw money and maybe he's right. I don't know. What does my subscribers think?...I only have one. What do you think honey?... read more
