Thanks. Some people are just jackasses right out of the gate. You say something really dumb or irritate me, you go on ignore.

Maybe that will change in time but with a name like "[I'll be]Fucked if I know", it's not looking good.

The kids in front of "roof dog's" house tell me that he has a doghouse up there and that it's normal for him to stand up there.

"It is a bit unusual to see a dog up on the roof like that though......right?"

"whatever you say Sir"

Yes, this is much darker than the clips uploaded to YouTube. What you probably cannot see is 3 Christmas carolers, aged about 10-12. If you give them money they sing one last song, the thank you song. If you don't give them money they sing a "babarat ninyo" line, which means you are a cheap bastard.

I gave the little darlings 3 pesos each and they sang the thank you song. Very easy to please.

Here are some of the Christmas lights seen here. Keep in mind this is middle class here in the Philippines but it's still very poor by western standards. None of these are over 15 seconds long.

Wow...truly touching stuff, man. It's a great, but sad, story.

BTW, I apologize for my absence...between work, holidays, and dealing with the house being built, I haven't had time to breathe much, much less post...I'll get some more pics up soon.

Good to see you back here. I'm working on some other projects nowdays and would love to see your pics.

This family's selflessness is truly humbling.

At least you can feel pretty sure she finished it out with no regrets. A lot of people can't say that.

I'm still here in Makati though it's been a while since I've posted here.

I've just recently recovered from a non life threatening but seriously painful and inconveint couple of infections. Oddly enough my wife has had the exact same infection but not as widespread.

This is actually open sores about the size of half dollars on the bottom of both my feet. Right in the arch, the sensitive part.

Sometimes in early December they first appeared with no signs of the serious pain they might cause. It took about 2 to 3 weeks for this to develop into something more serious.

This condition has kept me from leaving the house for about a month and for a period of about three weeks serious pain. As the sores continued to get worse I relented and started taking anti-biotics, which I would rather have not done. The topical regimen was just not working.

Having this type of wound on the bottom of your feet seriously limits your walking.

I admit that more than a few times I was crawling to the bath room.

Now things are much better. I thought there would be very visible scars from this but everything is healing and feeling just as good as before the infection.

The source of the re-infection was those Tsinellas, the "flip-flops" as we call them in the US.

We would clean them regularly with fairly agressive cleaning solution but the trouble was that my weight compressing the foam on the flip flop would just reinfect the area again.

Just as the healing was gaining momentum, it would take again and go downhill.

This is not the worst thing that could happen to me here but surely not something that I want to repeat.

I threw the flip flops away but since they are the uplevel expensive brand, someone else picked them out and started wearing them. I explained the danger of using them but they were not at all concerned.

Now I put my boots in the freezer as well as cleaning with a specific anti-bacterial wash.

On the upside.....

I've found a business to develop here and I'm currently making steady money doing it. It's all on the net and many of the people here could do it with some practice. There is also a very BIG market for this type of thing.

Now to get all the legals and business side of this venture researched and in motion.

It's not going to make me personally much cash at all until we see a good number of people here making money at this.

This could easily provide 1000 to 15,000 pesos a month. That's a good income here and in a place that there are few jobs, I'm confident that this will be a geniune opportunity for the locals here.

When a bunch of people here succeed with it, I'll make some cash too. My cut is determined by the amount of money that people will earn.

Ponzi? Amway?

Life is good. Now for the next challenge.

Gots to keep those feetz CLEAN !!!!!!
Infections grow FAST in tropical climates !!!

So what is your web cam sex line address ??( just so'z I know where NOT to go !!!

)

slang · 02-01-2008, 10:55 PM

There's no sex, pyramids, ponzis, or Amway involved with the developing venture.

It's all about English language services.

Would I start and run a porn biz here? I think all of that is illegal here. Anything you may find online with pinays working on cam are probably not in the Phils.

It's difficult to even find a mag with full frontal nudity locally here.

I'd double check that on Google to search down some Filipino smut but the spam would soon follow.

Now, if you want to rent a pinay to see some full frontal nudity, I've heard....that this is possible. No personal experience with that though.

English language services is my bag here. And no Zippy, that doesn't mean young girls talking dirty in English on the phone with some 1-900 line.

slang · 02-01-2008, 11:28 PM

A search online for Philippine internet porn produces results that suggest that online porn is illegal but that the laws are not enforced to prevent it here.

I can understand that. There's enough bribe money built into the profit margin with this sort of business that it doesn't matter what the laws might be here.
