Let’s talk about the cost of living in the Philippines; I know it is an argumentative subject. Some people say it is the cheapest place in the world to live, others say it can be the most expensive; I can only give you some examples based on my own experiences.

Making money in the Philippines is an interesting subject because there is no typical way of doing it for a foreigner. Most foreigners have a retirement / pension that may, or may not furnish the income that is needed to have a comfortable life in the Philippines, I for one do not have this as I am to young to be receiving social security, and did not spend the required 20 years in the military to receive a pension. So I am left with figuring out a way to generate the necessary income to live in the Philippines.

Well I have decided to change the content of this blog to include articles, comments, and news about the Philippines in English, I hope it will better serve any readers out there. When I first started this for my wife to blog on, I thought she would have the time to contribute more often then it will be possible, she is very busy with her church schedule and taking car of the household.
I don’t want you to get me wrong, she will still post articles, and comments from time to time (In togalog), but I will be primary blogger.

Hello all, my name is Steven, I am Rosels husband. I know this blog is suppose to be in tagalog, but I don’t know how to write in tagalog, so I am doing it in English. I just wanted to stop in and wish all of you out there a happy thanksgiving, if you are not familiar with this, it is an American holiday, all the family and good friends gather together to give thanks for what we have, and enjoy. It is a holiday tradition to have a big meal consisting of turkey, stuffing, yams, and some apple or pumpkin pie, I tell you this every thanksgiving I stuff myself to a point of almost not being able to move. I know it is not a good thing for me to do, but I just can’t help myself.
My wife and I are hoping that this blog will become a success, and all of you who decide to drop-in will leave your own comments or views on the subjects’ talked about. So feel free to comment to your hearts desire, because if you don’t, I feel it will lead to trouble for me (the biggest TAMPO you have ever seen) directed at me of course.
Again happy thanksgiving, and good bless.
