The Power of Following Your Heart: Lessons from David Haldane's A Tooth In My Popsicle
David Haldane’s inspiring journey from a journalist in Los Angeles to a columnist in the Philippines is a story of transformation and resilience. When David lost his job at the Los Angeles Times, he never expected to find a new home in the Philippines, a place he once disliked. But fate had other plans for him, and he landed on the beautiful island of Siargao, where he met his Filipino wife.
In his latest book, A Tooth In My Popsicle, David shares his incredible adventure, from his first meeting with his wife in the US to the joys and challenges of raising a family in a foreign land. Through a series of short narrative essays, he takes readers on a journey filled with fear, frustration, laughter, and hope. The book is a testament to the power of following your heart and pursuing your dreams.
David’s book was launched on April 12, 2023, at the UP Cebu Jose Joya Art Gallery, Cebu City. The Foodventurers Media Productions were able to meet David, enjoyed some food, and engaged in discussions about the book. A Tooth in My Popsicle will be available for purchase at the launch and on Lazada, as well as at the offices of Bonales PR & Associates.
David Haldane is no stranger to writing. He has previously authored two books, the award-winning memoir Nazis & Nudists and the short-story collection Jenny on the Street. He is also a regular columnist for the Mindanao Gold Star Daily, where he shares his unique perspective as an expat living in the Philippines.
David’s story is a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most unexpected paths can lead us to the greatest adventures. A Tooth In My Popsicle is not just a book; it’s a reminder that anything is possible if you have the courage to pursue your dreams.
