Caveat Emptor
Caveat Emptor
Written by Anah in Monday, November 9th 2009   
For those who are not familiar with the phrase, "caveat emptor" means "let the buyer beware." If you live in the Philippines, you already know what this means in day to day life. I would guess most people in the world outside of the USA and a few other places are well aware of the meaning of the phrase in real life. What do I mean by the "meaning of the phrase in [+]
Ever Heard of an Arborist?
Ever Heard of an Arborist?
Written by Anah in Saturday, May 2nd 2009   
I was looking into expanding my skills with a computer so I started scanning through the class offerings of a local 2-yr college. When I looked the class schedule options over, I saw the normal things you would expect for nursing, education, business, and computers. What really caught my eye and required further research are three classes with the names Ornamental Plant Health Care, Aerial Tree Pruning, and Aerial Tree Removal Rigging. [+]

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="219" caption="credits from edmunds.com"][/caption] I know, I know. It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. Have I given up on my blog? Nope. What has been going on? Keep reading. 1. I'm really sick of moving. But after a long, drawn out distance move that is highly beneficial we are down to unpacking the last box.

A First Experience and One More to Go
A First Experience and One More to Go
Written by Anah in Friday, January 30th 2009   
For far too long, it has been a hit and miss situation of getting two things on my to-do list done. This past weekend, we finally got a chance to take care of one of them. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="235" caption=" By © Guylain Doyle"][/caption] The two items on the list are walking on the top of a lake and sledding down a hill covered with snow. How can I walk on the top [+]
Humor and Lack Of
Humor and Lack Of
Written by Anah in Wednesday, January 14th 2009   
In this entry of Life Here & There, I’m not going to compare the USA to the Philippines. Instead, I’ll pick on a neighbor to the north of the Philippines in Japan. We get enough exposure to some Japanese shows to capture their rather funny humor. Here is one example of a show in Japan: That has me cracking up every time I watch it. I also realize that such pranks will never [+]
Year End Differences
Year End Differences
Written by Anah in Wednesday, December 31st 2008   
This is just a short note as I don’t want to focus too much on New Year’s Eve or I’ll get homesick. To emphasize the differences in the time zones, it strikes me just a tad odd getting a phone call from my family in the Philippines saying “Happy New Year” at 12:30 AM, January 1, 2009 their time. What was odd about it? My clock read 10:30 AM, December 31, 2008 and [+]
Tidbits of Biblical Details – Part 2
Tidbits of Biblical Details – Part 2
Written by Anah in Sunday, December 28th 2008   
In this extension of the first entry, let us look at how History checks out in the Bible and do a very interesting exercise. Again, the Bible is minimally an ancient text written so others would understand what was written at that time. Just because today is different than the past doesn’t mean what is described in the past isn’t true. We don’t know as we weren’t there. [+]
Set Goals Not Plans
Set Goals Not Plans
Written by Anah in Tuesday, December 23rd 2008   
Why do you set goals? So you know where you are headed in life and have something to strive for. It becomes what you can measure your success or failure by. However, plans are something best considered to be a sketch as opposed to a detailed painting. They next to never work as planned. My trip to spend time with my family and look to the concerns of someone's [+]
