In fact my soon to be 12 year old daughter expressed her interest on it! I have two sets of videos, one with my commentary on it—albeit on the fly and one, as it was given to me. This jump is in memory of my loved one, Job … Read entire article »

Fairfield City Farm
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Fairfield City Farm. Maybe it’s time to go back there and revisit it. After all, it is just around the corner from us. Well, from where I used to live anyway. The reason, I don’t think much about this great attraction, is that I grew up in the provinces of Philippines. Farm animals are just everywhere and for us then, it was basically, normal to see various types … Read entire article »

Where Do Filipinos Live In Australia
Do you wonder where most Filipinos live? In Sydney, and I can almost bet anywhere else in the world that is multicultural, there will be clumps of groups living in certain areas. I think that’s just the way it is. It’s something to do with belonging to a social group, and what not. I was born in Philippines and came to Australia at an age before my teens. So, I’m a Sydney boy and know a … Read entire article »
