About This Blog

This simple blog began in the closing quarter of 2014 during which the author realized that another three years had passed by his life living as an expat in Papua New Guinea. He thought he should write his experiences in an interesting way but was still figuring out how it's done best.

About The Author

Glen was born in the Philippines in 1977. His birth exactly happened according to the hideous plan by his parents to mastermind the creation of a new baby boy soon after they realized that having three little kids running around the house was better than having two kids preying on each other.

His parents named him after some weird thing that has got something to do with a valley. From then on, he was called Glen for the rest of his life despite his early attempts to initiate a plea and have a veto power to the names not to his liking.

The early attempts involved in the time being were the wiggling of his tiny hands underneath the baby mittens and the inaudible gurgles emanating from his yet untrained vocal chords that everyone else there seemed to translate as an appeal for a bottle of milk.

In 1984, while he was pretending to be watching on a miniature television made out of match box and papers, he secretly wished that someone in the future should invent a small TV that could fit in his hand; 30 years later, it did happen and small TV's are everywhere. Nowadays, he thought he should start thinking of something new to wish for.

He sometimes write about himself in the third person, hence there are instances in this blog when he addresses himself as "he, him, this blogger" and so on.
