This is the main-page where you can access each Month’s worth of Diary Entries. I broke them down into months so that I didn’t end up with a single page that scrolled forever. In case I get to lagging on updating this page, you can always get the most updated list using the Menu (at right) of ‘Articles by TOPIC’. — Henry V.

Henry, glad you are sharing your thoughts. You are a good writer. An easy read. A journal covers actual life whereas most articles are just a rehash/duplication of about 500 other articles on the same Philippine related topic.
I just finished breakfast (at Noon) and am about to take off for the local Taoist Temple in the hills of Cebu. After that, some time at Ayala Mall for my first time and then possibly Mango Square since I’ll be in the area. What a rough life but, as I keep telling my girlfriend, “It’s research.” There’s a club called ‘Club Juliana’ that looks interesting online. If I’m still there after dark maybe I’ll just get a room, go to a club and stay the night. Gonna play it by ear.
Enjoying your journey right along with you Henry.
Thanks! Glad to have you along. You know me.. always another adventure just around the corner. 🙂
Had fun reading your adventures=).
Just added some new entries.. glad you're enjoying the articles 'n photos. 🙂
Hi Henry,
Please share with us all readers here how you and the island of Bohol fared through the earthquake. Blessedly there weren’t as many casualties or as much damage in spite of the magnitude, although our heart goes out to families and loved ones lost.
Cebu was spared to a lesser extent, but just want to know that you are safe and came through it.
Take care, Queenie
Hi Queenie, so you don’t have a worried mind awaiting his answer, he’s alive and well, posted up a couple of vids on youtube. I don’t think he’s fully on-line yet. One of the fellows in the forum pointed out the Video this AM. You can see on his youtube channel.
Thanks Jon!
I see he’s doing well and catching us all up on what’s been going on. Glad to hear!
You’re welcome! It was a sigh of relief to see he’s OK when I found out it was a 7.2! Egads, that’s a biggy. Newspapers are a bit slow, but might have some details now. I didn’t check yet. I wonder how hard the surrounding islands were hit. It’s awfully close to Negros where I have friends who have not been on-line. Probably a lot of power out.
Yes, I was out of net connection for over 2 days. I’ve been uploading lots of video updates to the Youtube channel here; http://www.youtube.com/user/enricosuave263/videos

Hi gud day! I’m carla we rent an apartment here in dumaguete near the landmarks of hypermart and Foundation University, also about 450meters to reach robinsons mall. Me and my man watched your video about your P8k/mo. apartment w/ 2cr’s and a private balcony. It looks nice hopefully comfortable. Can I ask what barangay u found it?

I don’t know the name of the barangay, but is along the south road, past the Robinson’s, on the way to Dauin.
