ten pesos

I began this blog two years ago in the Philippines. I don’t think that I’d ever seen a blog before I made this with my friend Dominic’s assistance. I had read of weblogs in magazines, so I knew that some are online journals. I wanted family, friends and church members in the U.S. to be able to read of what Dominic and I were doing in and near Baguio City. So we began writing on Teachthepoor.org. Months later, after abandoning the dream of tutoring and teaching, I renamed this Reachthepoor.org.

After some months I renamed this Yankees abroad. But I’m no longer abroad, and that name sounds like a 1940s movie title, so this blog will soon be renamed tenpesos.com. That name has no particular meaning or significance to me. It just seemed succinct, and it was available. Within a couple of years, after graduating, I suppose, I will rename the blog again to reflect what I am doing or where I’m living then.

Spring break

The weather here is beautiful. Northern schools’ Spring breaks have begun, and F.S.U. is breaking its semester. Panama City Beach is beginning to see many college students from many states joining the Snowbirds who’ve been here. Panama City Beach Police, Bay County deputy sheriffs and State Troopers are patrolling streets and little scooters are starting to swarm.

Alltell’s website reads, on the front page, “great deals on BlackBerry’s!” Why is an apostrophe there?
