We recently become proud owners of a pool table. Used, but nonetheless, a pool table. I found a pool table mechanic here in the Philippines and he's hard at work for us giving our table a makeover, just so we have something to do... when there's nothing else to do! Subscribe and stay tuned for the full update!

We are home in Samar for the Holidays and once again, this New Year's Eve is proving to be the noisiest place on earth. If you've ever seen videos of fireworks over Manila, you will understand. The province isn't any quieter by any imagination. Between competing karaoke, boga cannons, fireworks, party horns, and everyone revving up their motorcycles, come midnight... it's a steady stream of continuous quadraphonic noise and sleep deprivation is once again on the menu. We are definitely living on an angle in a parallel universe. Happy New Year to all our Subscribers and followers this special noisy night!

You would think living the condo life, there wouldn't be such a thing as Honey-Do list... or one large enough to keep me out of trouble. The Mrs. probably thinks keeping me busy is part of a healthy lifestyle, but she's keeping me in Panic Mode. She forgets I have a motorcycle to ride and polish. Seasons' Greetings everyone!

Just a quick update: I haven't had much time to work on video production because of all the time I've spent working our NEW website "livinginthepacific.com ... I've been in a new rabbit hole and just now crawling out! Our Patreon members know what's happening!
Yeah, that's right... I'm a glutton for punishment, but someone needs to bring the "Blogs" back, and it might as well be me. So... here is one of my first and most critical commissioning posts: livinginthepacific.com/expats-questions-about-livi…
