Fur Flying: 'Tis the Season for Pageants
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008/12/tis-season-for-pageants.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Tis the Season for Pageants. Above a vendor sells traditional Christmas parols. Photo by Keith Bacongco at Wikipedia. As I've said before, the "-ber" months are Christmas season in the Philippines: as in September 1 through December 31st. A quarter of a year. And it doesn't end on Christmas day, either. We attended one Christmas party on the 26th. There are so many, how could you fit them in before. Or man in drag, dr...

Fur Flying: February 2008
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Sunday, February 24, 2008. The Parable of the Tortoise and the Hare. The tortoise or the hare- guess which one I was? As my dad likes to joke, "I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count." I don't know my actual time; I didn't actually see the clock at the finish because I was so focused on that big banner that said "FINISH," but Stephen said it was around 5:18 or so, give or take. (Update: Official posted time was 5:15! Originally ...

Fur Flying: A Glimpse of Beijing
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008/10/glimpse-at-beijing.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Thursday, October 30, 2008. A Glimpse of Beijing. A great part of working at an international school is the travel on the school's dime. This time my volleyball team headed to Beijing, China, for our league championship tournament. The downside is that I spent four days in a gym rather than seeing China. We rode down the hill, ate some real Chinese food (my first on the entire trip! Posted by Jen Wallace. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fur Flying: December 2008
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Frankincense, Myrrh, and.Gunpowder? Of fireworks over Manila Bay in 2007 by Bullit Marquez for AP. Apparently our dogs, who had been left at home last year to hear the noise of the neighbors' pyrotechnics bounce off the walls and down the alleys, didn't have as much fun as we did. Grover, in fact, has developed a fear of fireworks. Grover! Happy New Year from the Wallaces! Posted by Jen Wallace. As I've said before, t...

Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Culinary Tour of Chinatown. Posted by Jen Wallace. Our farm kubo now has walls and windows, thanks to local carpenter Dante and his flying circus. Septic is on the way. Grover says it's tough work, but someone has to do it. She's happy to supervise.

Fur Flying: Red Eye to Mumbai
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008/11/red-eye-to-mumbai.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Red Eye to Mumbai. Considered immodest to display an entirely nude midriff. In fact, saris seem to be designed to do just that, yet in a way that appears comfortable and natural, and not necessarily sexy (though that probably depends on who's wearing the sari). Who in Mumbai, other than Bollywood stars, can actually afford that? Posted by Jen Wallace. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C) Stephen Wallace, 1996.

Fur Flying: Halloween Jam at the Oarhouse
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008/11/halloween-jam-at-oarhouse.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Halloween Jam at the Oarhouse. Yet another festive occasion in Manila. I busted out early of my $8 poker tournament across the street at Player's Den, but that's alright since things were just starting to heat up at the Oar. One guitar, one mike, and a roomful of professional and amateur musicians.and Jack Sparrow showed up, so what else does one need? Posted by Jen Wallace. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fur Flying: August 2008
http://furflying.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Chronicling the Wallace family's move to the Philippines. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. This picture almost didn't happen. First, my right iliotibial band. Second, Stephen almost missed my finish. I told. Him that I would finish around 9:30 am, but apparently he didn't quite believe me. He was riding along in his taxi along Roxas Boulevard, happened to look out the window to his left, and guess who was almost running beside the car? I made my goal, though, which was to break five hours (my Timex time: 4:56:48...
