<p>Wow, it's been too long since I've posted anything here. My apologies, we've been pretty busy recently. Which is a real answer to prayer. I've brought on a lot of new clients recently which has allowed us to stay here and even take a trip to Japan...</p>

<p>Wow, it's been too long since I've posted anything here. My apologies, we've been pretty busy recently. Which is a real answer to prayer. I've brought on a lot of new clients recently which has allowed us to stay here and even take a trip to Japan to visit family in July.</p> <p><br />I'll be posting more about that later, but for now I wanted to give a quick update on our last post. The sick kitten we found and brought to the vet didn't make it, unfortunately. It's too bad we didn't find him sooner. However, we were able to rescue another kitten that somebody had found on the street, abandoned before her eyes were even open. She was moving out of the country and not able to take care of the kitten so we took her in a few month ago.</p> <p>This is Briar. She is a real rascal but we love her.</p> <p><img src="/images/posts/57dcbba6edf334dfd9006cb4/briar-tiger.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="/images/posts/57dcbba1edf3343adb006cb2/briar-book.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="/images/posts/57dcbba9edf33440ef006cb5/snuggle-bug.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="/images/posts/57dcbba3edf334954e006cb3/briar-chair.jpg" alt="" /></p> http://crownoble.name/posts/this-guys-had-a-rough-life/ 2016-05-01T00:00:00-07:00 2019-10-06T18:41:02-07:00 Adam Crownoble

<p>You get used to credit cards being the quick and easy way to pay in the States. But it isn't so quick or easy in the Philippines. Every transaction seems to involve long waits and multiple receipts. On top of that they always seem to need a specific sort of credit card machine depending on what kind of card you have, I guess.</p> <p>A recent store I went to had EIGHT different credit card machines. I took a photo just so people would believe me.</p> <p><img src="/images/posts/56d29e03edf33487b2013d69/so-many-credit-card-machines.jpg" alt="" /></p>
