Bohol relaxing and island hopping
Bohol is one of my favorite places in the world. I went to Bohol on Angela’s and my first vacation to the Philippines and I was happy to see it again. The weather is so perfect. The skies are rich with color and the clouds are amazing. I was disappointed that my pictures were able […]

Portland palooza
A couple weeks ago we got a chance to go to Portland for our very first time. We went there to attend a wedding, but decided to go a little early to check out the sights. Portland wasn’t exactly our scene, but we still had a good time. We decided to be real tourists and […]
Just back from Nigeria
I went to Nigeria! Before you ask, let me answer your questions. No, I did not get Ebola. Nigeria has been completely Ebola-free since October 20, 2014. Also, I was not there to claim a large amount of money from a Nigerian prince. However, there were signs at the airport warning people to not get […]
Seein’ San Fran’
We took a trip down to the bay area in April. One of the places we went to was Sushirrito. It’s sushi, but burrito-sized. And burrito-ish flavors. It sounds weird, but it was pretty good. Who can turn down gigantic rolls of sushi you can eat with your hands? We rode on some really old […]
London Day 2: Southbank
After I wrapped up at the V&A Museum I headed to the Southbank to check out all of the attractions that were down there. I had the best chocolate cake ever at a little café around the corner from the Globe Theater. The Globe Theater tour was great, but next time I’ll definitely like to go to the […]
Cooking creatively – Caraway and homemade okara hummus
Jon and I have decided to be a bit more adventurous when it comes to home-cooked meals. It turns out that there’s a lot of different foods out there and deciding what to try first is really tough. The approach we’ve decided to take is to take an untried spice and use it to cook […]
Bellevue Resort
The Bellevue Resort in Bohol (it’s actually on the island of Panglao) is the nicest place I’ve ever stayed, and I’d definitely go again. We paid $180 per night, but the list price is $365 per night. The place just opened a month or two before we arrived, so the weight room, some restaurants, and […]
Homemade Soy Milk
When we went to Colorado for Christmas my parents had homemade soy milk. It tasted just like soy milk from a Singaporean hawker stall and I decided I had to have it again once we returned to Seattle. It’s not all that hard to make actually. It’s way cheaper than store bought soy milk too. […]
Baguio!
Because of our hotel fiasco our plans in Baguio got a bit turned around. We didn’t get to see everything we had planned to, but we still saw a lot of fun things. Baguio is where Jon’s mission office used to be so he was pretty familiar with the area. Baguio is located up in […]
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 […]
