This was written when I was coming back and forth to Philippines quite a bit. Those years I learned a lot about myself and life. Appreciating what we have, and trying to put life in perspective. I have huge respect for Filipinos who go through some of this daily grind day in and day out, I believe things have improved since writing this blog but we also need to remember. Read about the struggle

Ha, a funnier blog post – but one that people have enjoyed and had some controversy about. There is some game I learned from a friend in Brazil – that if we quickly put our hands together there is some meaning about who we are. Which thumb are you?

More of the trend on “Daily struggle in the Philippines” this topic is more focused on the huge population of single mothers in Philippines. I write up some of my perspective and discussions I had with single moms in PI. So many blog comments on this one, some quite rude and vulgar (I may delete a bunch some day to be honest, such pigs) Read about single moms in the Philippines

A random photo and perspective of how management treats its staff. Just a little gag to keep your day interesting that has gotten good engagement and feedback. Chuckle at this management structure

A funny one, but a serious one in fact. As a foreigner marrying a Chinese woman (or man) prepare to also marry their parents and extended family! (Or is this true for all marriages?) In this blog I discuss. read my insights here

A classic movie I recommend everyone to sit down and watch (or read if it is a book?) In this blog we dive in to the reaction of the movie. Does Rudy Inspire you Too?

While working deep in Chinese factories and with Power eBay and Amazon sellers, I was given a new perspective. What is copying a product, and who is copying who. I recommend thinking about this and reviewing this blog to understand the other side’s perspective.

Copying a Product Overseas, is it so bad??

We all dream to import and export all over the world (well, that is a dream of mine!). Yet we wonder what is the best way to do it. Many years ago I did my best to explain – in a personal layman’s way – here on the blog. read about importing process here
