Update Time
[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.

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.

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.

Once upon a time in the land of Phils, there were three respected leaders on the topic of Lamesa. Their names were Tatay Kutsilyo, Kuya Tinidor, and Ate Kutsara. These three were the experts you turned to for all questions regarding proper Lamesa conduct.
