Getting around in the Philippines
One of the most exciting and challenging parts of our trip was figuring out how to get around. We tried so many different types of transportation we thought we’d devote a post it: Jeepney Jeepneys were originally introduced into the country after a bunch of US military jeeps were left behind after WWII.

Filipino adventure!~
We finally took our much-anticipated trip to the Philippines. We stayed at the nicest hotels we’ve ever been to as well as the worst hotels we’ve ever been to. We had some amazing food and met up with awesome people. We saw the world’s smallest primate (they’re monkeys about two inches tall!). We saw an […]
We’re still alive!
Jon and I were writing our family history for a family reunion and noticed that our blog is extremely out of date. Sorry for the lack of updates once again! We’ve been busy busy busy working away, but do have some updates for what’s been happening in the past few months. Church After our move […]
Black Friday 2011
Another Black Friday has come and gone, and we have some stories to tell. The in-person Black Friday shopping was disappointing, but we got some sweet deals online (I’ll talk about those at the end of this post). We wanted to buy some things from Wal*Mart, but apparently so did everybody else. The freeway was […]
Fall time deals
Another surplus sale! Lake Washington School District had a surplus sale, so naturally we had to go. We woke up at 6am and stood in the cold for an hour, but it was worth it! We ended up getting a fairly new projector for $25, a big box of tessellation tiles and blocks for $5, […]
Summer 2011
It was raining dogs and cats today so I guess that means one thing: Summer is officially over and our Northwest Autumn weather has returned :(. We had a pretty eventful summer this year! Main highlights: 1) We took a big Chau family vacation to Florida 2) Jon got his hands on a $99 HP […]
What we’ve been up to…
Well, once again we’re guilty of not updating the blog :(. We have been busy little bees though. In April we spent the entire month training for a 5K race that was sponsored by Microsoft. At first, I think we were just doing it because it was free, but then we got really into it. We were […]
Angela’s new calling in life
I think I’ve found my new calling in life. VELODROME RACING! We had a beautiful spring day yesterday and Jon and I made use of the not often seen sun. We set out on a bike ride without a set destination and ended up biking down some unknown trails. About an hour and a half […]
Oooorange!
Jon and I went on our honeymoon to Southern California. We went to all of the big theme parks including California Adventures where I found my favorite ride, which no longer exists :'(, the Orange Stinger. Who could resist swinging around in a gigantic Orange? Who cares if all of the other riders are 10 […]
If shopping were a sport…
It’s that time of the year again–deal time!! We decided to do a warm-up run before Black Friday just to brush up on our skills. Then we did our infamous Black Friday series; and we even added some more deals that we don’t normally do: food! We actually didn’t have anything we really wanted to […]
