I am eating a lot of boiled foods. Always heavy on the veggies. I love boiled shrimp, however, I must admit this is a MUCH smaller serving of shrimp than I am accustomed too White radish has become a favorite in my soups. I did not mention the Komote tops ( in my second dish) Komote tops are sweet potato tops. But the best laid plans go array when I go to a neighbors house to eat.
My cholesterol was so low that I was retested because the doctor could not believe it was true.
I was going to explain the WHY in the end, but instead decided to do it first. Myra has learned a wonderful art she is fantastically devoted to it. I want to promote an income for her doing something she enjoys. I am hoping to get my daughter involved in the internet / promotional and hard copy part of this operation. She is very artistically oriented and excellent at websites. She just needs a bit more experience. Daryl, I hope to teach to be a webmaster. That is a future here, without a doubt. Darwin can make beautiful papers already.

This Vlog of life here is for my memories and show my friends and family back in the USA what it is like living in the Philippines. To date, I have made over 350 videos.
My trip to the Philippines was a gamble. I met Myra online and thought she seemed like a very interesting and 'Good' person I had never been to Asia and to be honest never even considered visiting any Asian countries. I decided to come over and visit this astoundingly interesting woman. It was the best decision I could have made.
I had been overseas, However only in Europe. I have been to Germany, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland. What I enjoyed most of all in Europe was a chance to experience another lifestyle and culture. I have found the Filipino lifestyle and Filipino culture much to my liking. I have found a home here.

Anyone watching now ...... You are getting the live up-to-date news report on the Myra Chicken House Project. She comes in and gives me a report every few minutes. She just said, with great sadness, "Hunnnn I spent almost 2000PHP on this. I am sorry," That is $50. She looked so sad. ha ha ha. I think it is worth that much to watch you smile while you building your business. NO WORRY ! I said, "JEEZZZ, I knew it would cost that much as soon as I realized you were building a chicken FARM, not just a chicken house."
By the way viewers. One good sized cooked bird is an easy 250PHP. Myra will win at this, I am sure she will gain the extra pesos and cook the chickens before she sells them. I see it as a very good idea. ( If we don't get kicked out of the sub-division.)
