On Cruise Critic I posted on a thread about weather in the Gulf of Mexico. The OP was concerned about the weather on a cruise later this year. Told him the name was gonna change to the Gulf of America, then the weather would improve. ...
@Brojeslov All aside the goings on and crap with the new US administration is more entertaining than a day to a visiting circus, the circus clowns pale in comparison to what is taking place now after a week. Seems they can't even deport 2 plane ... Read More

@danfinnI wonder why the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans etc don't appoint media commentators to their most senior defence positions? I mean you do realise the kind of guys Hegseth is going up against? Or don't you? - @Brojeslov With all ... Read More

Fitness/Health Clubs Angeles by kjwilde
I'm contemplating joining/using a health club, mostly for weight lifting. I'm located in Angeles at the moment. I looked at Anytime but they won't just come out and tell you the costs. Anyone have any suggestions? The only reason I'd use Anytime ...
A few hundred metres up the road from the Clarkton Hotel is a small gym owned, I believe, by a motorcycle gang. It’s in the same building as a furniture shop, next door to a carwash. It’s small, rough and hot (no aircon) but with ... Read More

Bank Account by ShueArie
I've been visiting the Philippines for the last 2 or so years roughly a month 2 to 3 times a year. I stay at my Fiancée home every visit. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the Banking Rules there. Can I or we open a Bank Account ...
In 2019, my buddy walked into a PNB branch in Iloilo City and opened a savings account with his Aussie Passport and his girlfriend's address on an envelope. They did not ask for an ACR or visa or for evidence that he resided at the address. Of ... Read More

@Cherryann01it’s human nature to believe what we want to believe and part of that is feeling when there’s an innocent or reassuring explanation for something that there must be for everything. you have reason to be suspicious and that ... Read More

Even amidst a busy life it’s not difficult to acknowledge or reply to a message. I’d say that’s the red flag here. This lady has someone (or something) that is much more important than you, my friend. In fact, you don’t even ... Read More
A cautionary tale by Brojeslov
In 2020 I met a seemingly lovely young lady from Butuan City and things progressed quickly into a relationship. I never went to Butuan because she said it was boring and I've got insurance issues travelling to Mindanao, so we met elsewhere in places ...
@bigpearlI know what you're saying. It must be my fault. I must be stupid. And hey maybe you're right. But this was a sophisticated scam. And it lasted years. The crook's family members are devastated they were used to perpetuate it. They didn't ... Read More

@Cherryann01I agree. I spent nearly 2,000,000 pesos on the girl but I don't actually regret that. For starters, I had some really amazing sex. It was 4.5 years of wasted emotional intensity and commitment that I'm bitter about. She made me believe ... Read More

@Cherryann01My god! You’ve certainly been through the wringer. Your experiences make mine look tame. I am just sad about it mainly. A lot of time and energy was wasted. Money too, of course, but, hey, I’m sure I would have spent that ... Read More
