Best Islands in Asia

     Looking at this list of top ten best Islands in Asia, I am overjoyed to see that I've been to the top five islands.

When I was an OFW I got the chance to visit 

      I don't know their criteria for judging but my list for the top would be different. If I am to rank my top five in terms of natural beauty, facilities and ease of touring around, my list would look like this.

1. Koh Samui

2. Boracay

3. Phuket

4. Bali

5. Langkawi

New Condo Tenant

     I've got a new renter in my condo unit, the income from this helps me tide through now that my stroke rendered me jobless. The renter I feel is very entrepreneurial, no surprise as he is a broker by profession. He rents my place for short term staycation. No doubt he will make more money than me with the right promotion but it's alright as i don't want to be bothered by the headaches surrounding short term rentals. He even offered me to sell my unit, he will help market it which I said I have to think about it. I hope this new renter brings me more luck in the days to come.

Memories

     I saw a distant relative's FB post which reminded me of my own memories growing up in the farm. I can fully relate to what she said.

Her FB post

     We both experienced to live without electricity, since it only came to our village when I was in Grade Two I think, around 1977. Before that, there was no electricity and we survived using kerosene lamps. When night time came, it was awesome when the moon was out because the atmosphere was lovely. But when there was no moon, it was pitch black. There was no internet then. We used books to read our school assignments. We had no TV so we couldn't watch TV shows. My family would gather around a transistor radio listening to radio dramas. That was the simple life we had in the village. There were no complications.
