Lamesa Wars
Lamesa Wars
Written by Anah in Wednesday, November 26th 2008   
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. Tatay Kutsilyo was by far and away the tallest and the sharpest of the three, but his role was limited to opening up those things the other two [+]
You Little Bugger
You Little Bugger

I suppose I should make the title Those Little Buggers but it wouldn’t have the same effect. What are those buggers and how are they related to Life Here & There? That would be lice. Growing up in the Philippines, I was introduced into a number of concepts about lice that didn’t make a lot of sense then and even far less now. One of the pieces of advice was you [+]
Taste Of Home vs. the Taste Buds of Here
Taste Of Home vs. the Taste Buds of Here

Blog hopping brought me to this post as I waved my hubby over so we could view Manong Ken’s Carinderia’s. There are several pictures of dishes that I just have not had for quite a while. The main reasons why I haven’t are we do not have the ingredients readily available in Wisconsin and my skills in the kitchen need help. This post is comparing my (Filipino) reaction to the pictures of [+]
Similarities in Exercise
Similarities in Exercise
Written by Anah in Wednesday, November 5th 2008   
Okay, I did two long and serious articles the past two days. This one will not have as many words but may be just as long. Both in the Philippines and the USA, people like to dance. Also, both countries have many who want to exercise and stay in shape. Both countries like to combine the two into dance exercise. So to help all of my readers [+]
Holiday Comparison
Holiday Comparison
Written by Anah in Wednesday, October 29th 2008   
I’ll cover two holidays in this entry. The holidays are Halloween and Christmas. Hope you are ready as there are quite a few little tidbits of information I’ve recently picked up. Why am I doing two holidays? That is because the comparison of Halloween in the USA vs. the Philippines is very short. Halloween is celebrated as yet another marketing ploy to sell costumes, candy, and party supplies. [+]
Anti-Viral Protection
Anti-Viral Protection
Written by Anah in Thursday, October 23rd 2008   
As I noted in yesterday’s article, the flu shot is strongly pushed for the primary sake of the pharmaceutical pocketbook. There are numerous strains of the flu and pneumonia bugs so it is literally gambling that you might get a shot against the right one if the shot itself doesn’t cause you a number of problems. Such is the way of life in the USA. Actual truth is very hard to find [+]
Respect and Tolerance
Respect and Tolerance
Written by Anah in Wednesday, October 15th 2008   
I’m feeling a bit feisty so I’m going to tackle a ‘sensitive’ issue in today’s Life Here and There. The topic is about homosexuality, respect and tolerance. These couldn’t be more apart between the USA and the Philippines. In the Philippines and especially in the provinces at mga conservative na pinoys, homosexuality is not approved of. Some will greet a declared or obvious homosexual with contempt, insults or avoid them. [+]
Diet Matters
Diet Matters
Written by Anah in Wednesday, October 8th 2008   
[ad#inlinkunit] Diet has two main different meanings which depend on the context in which they are used. First is what you eat on a regular basis. The other definition is what you don’t eat or do eat just to lose weight. I’m going to be writing about the first definition and how it impacts our health. In the Philippines, …. Nah, I need to change up the format on my [+]
