Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Some of My Favorite Quotes on Kindness, Generosity and Compassion

Last week, my Italian-American neighbor visited me and brought with her Apple sauce she just prepared and Pasta. In returned, I gave her a big slice of smoke ham. She like the ham so much, she requested if I have another small slice. She said it reminded her of the ham in Italy during her childhood years. This act of Kindness reminded me of an article I wrote about some of my favorite quotes on Kindness, Generosity and Compassion.

"Just recently I wrote in my blogs an act of kindness I received from a young teenager in our neighborhood. In that article, I also referenced 4 act of kindness that my family and I experienced during the last 6 decades both here in the US and in the Philippines.
