Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage MonthMay is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the contributions and achievements of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) to the United States.AAPI people are a diverse group, with over 50 different ethnic groups represented in the United States. They come from all over Asia and the Pacific Islands, and they speak a variety of languages. Despite their diversity, AAPI people share a common history of immigration and struggle.The first Asian Americans arrived in the United States in the 17th century.

How big is Texas?
Cebu to Manila in 6.5 hours?
If you didn't fly, how long would it take to travel from Cebu to Manila? Did you know the same distance in Texas takes about 6.5 hours? That's right! If you imagine Manila in Wichita Falls, Texas and Cebu in Galveston, Texas, the drive would take about 6.5 hours. Of course that's assuming a vehicle that can make the 430 mile (690 km) trip without stops.
If you are new to Texas, or have been here a while, the Galveston to Wichita Falls trip would include stops at Buc-ees and other famous Texas landmarks.
When I was calculating my trips from Manila to asawa's province in Agusan del Norte, I would estimate the flight as from Dallas to New Orleans. I wasn't very far off at all.
Texas is big. Texans are proud. Philippines has over 7,000 islands. Filipinos are proud. It is a natural marriage of peoples and cultures.
In case no one has said it, "WELCOME TO TEXAS!"

WARNING! Emgoldex News
News Around The World Looks Bad For Emgoldex
Many news outlets are reporting the ponzi scheme nature of Emgoldex. Many Filipino nationals and OFWs are falling victim to Emgoldex's claims of fast investment returns.
Ethan Vanderbilt, a well respected scam buster has posted an article detailing the issues that have come to light in recent months regarding the Emgoldex scam.
While the initial investors may receive unbelievable returns, they are encouraged to get "downline" investors to join the network. Eventually, this pyramid will collapse and those just getting in which will be the majority of investors, will lose some if not all of their investment.

Eating The Filipino Way
My asawa (wife) loves crabs. Of course, I think this means we're going to Red Lobster for Crabfest, or The Boiling Crab for a food feast. No, this means a trip to the asian market for live blue crabs. Then I came across this video, and it was all explained to me quite well.
