looking at property with friends


we had a great day looking at property for our friend.he would like to get 1 or more hectares and go native and live off the land.
which doesn't sound like such a bad thing to do in case the world crashes even harder yet.

heated shower head

From heated shower head,1300 pesos,or 23bucks,extremely effective and cheap

i bought this for only 23 bucks and i love it,it only works when you're using the shower.so unlike America where you re using everything all the time.here we are saving money,because we only use it when we need it.makes sense eh.
i will definitely look into installing insta heaters if we make it back to the states,they are the way to go.
and of course it will look way better than that when professionally installed.we are renting so that is a temporary set up i have there .

nidas sister leahs bday party


so do you see my dilemma,with a family this big and party's all the time,no wonder why I'm big.because in the Asian culture food is offered all the time,and if you don't accept it you kind of have insulted them,because they think that you think they are not a good cook or something.

we went swiming with some church mates


we went swimming with some church mates
we had a great time and got burned in the process,but it was worth it.its good to get out of the house sometimes,nida says I'm on the computer to much,but i always tell her we can trade jobs and then she drops the subject.
somebody has to do the computer work.

not bad,he is a professional artist.so maybe he will become a professional photographer to?

we got a nice picture

From high res nice pic


we got a nice picture
as you can see by hardly seeing me in any pictures,its because i don't take good pictures anymore.i used to be good looking but those days are over.
but the other day at the wedding,one of the uninvited Philippine photographers showed up,and he actually got a couple of good shots,so 80 pesos later after bargaining with him for three pictures,we got it and scanned it.
the other reason you hardly ever see me in pictures is because I'm the one taking the pictures.

jim and jens wedding



Jim and Jens wedding
yes I've been bad and haven't been keeping this up dated like i should.but that's because we have been busy,we did the pictures and the video for my friends wedding.
so know we are not being bums,we are hard at work helping our fellow man and woman with the computer related issues.

nidas extended marayan family



nidas extended marayan family
while we visited my friend in bacolod we visited nidas extended family also.
nida said it was a surprise visit,she said they were kind of shock because they weren't prepared and told her they don't know a lot of English.none of that's true,they are great people just like nida and there English was fine.
it was neat to see where the looks came from,and what a fast life can do to you compared to a nice slow sda church life.no smoking,drugs,alcohol or animal meats,just veggies and fish.the difference in the faces of the brothers was absolutely different.
they live way out by the sugar plantations,that's pretty much the only work there,if you don't like it you leave.which a lot of there family has done,moved to davao and other places,looking for better easier work.
