St. Valentine’s Day Massacre: Guimaras Mountain Resort

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre: Guimaras Mountain Resort

FEATURED
My lovely asawa and I recently witnessed a St. Valentine's Day Massacre at the Guimaras Mountain Resort. OK, I, confess. Maybe only a few turkeys and chickens were actually sacrificed for the buffet dinner. However, Valentine's Day, 1929,  in Chicago, produced a very "Bloody Valentine." Seven members of “Bugs” Moran's gang were gunned down. The slaughter was attributed to rival gangster Al "Scarface" Capone. (more…)

The Christening of Merry Joy in the Philippines

The Christening of Merry Joy in the Philippines

FEATURED
I was inside working on the 2016 updated, revised version of my book, "The Philippines Expat Advisor." I heard my asawa talking to someone outside. I peeked from my man cave window and noticed it was one of our former workers, Melcher. He had some coconuts. Not surprised, he's the nephew of the brothers that sold us our property and he's a neighbor. My wife had sent some leftover Christmas fruit salad to his Mother via our nephew Sherwen the day before. After his visit, I was informed that we would be in attendance for the christening of Merry Joy in the Philippines the next afternoon. (more…)

“Do You Speak English?”

“Do You Speak English?”

FEATURED
It's  fiesta time at our sleepy barangay on the island province of Guimaras. When I first heard my asawa mention that it was time for their annual celebration, I scratched my head (not my butt this time) and wondered out loud: "Why was an Asian country celebrating what I thought was a Mexican tradition?"

The Island Hoppers of Guimaras

The Island Hoppers of Guimaras

FEATURED
The Philippines is an archipelago comprised of 7,107 islands. Traveling by banca boat (see following photo) is an unrivaled means of checking out some of the islets and enclaves which is something my asawa and her relatives, the island hoppers of Guimaras, did one recent Sunday.  (more…)

I confess. I did have one bottle of San Miguel Pale Pilsen before I took the following picture.  It was so hot that the roosters were using oven mitts to pick up worms from the ground. I was hot and sweaty and sweltering in the mid-morning sun. Yes, dear reader, I quaffed another early beer but please note that this is a rare exception for me and one usually only practiced when our mango festival in Guimaras makes it's annual appearance. Of course, if certain Floridians are in town, I have been known to quench my thirst with an adult beverage at an earlier hour also. By the way, if anyone would care to share, what time do you personally think is a reasonable time to have your first beer? There's no right or wrong answer in my books, but I'm curious as to what time your "happy hour" mi
