True but some travel is allowed for certain reasons such as emergency work, essential services and work if can prove it. Going to Pattaya, Manila etc for mongering is not one of those reasons LOL.

FIFO workers still travel as one idiot went to Bali recently and came back with COVID 19 - luckily he was found out on arrival in Australia and quarantined (and got a mouthful from the State Premier also).

Just depends but for sure is not easy for mongers who need to find solace in their homeland or themselves.

You would think after seeing some of this that millions of Filipinos are critically ill or dead, with the rest infected, cowering and starving. Instead, we get simpering and smirking pronouncements from a president who gets a hard on talking about how he's going to bully these poor people. Duterte's act ought to have worn thin by now.

This is Singapore Airlines offering cheap lights, not some bum airline. The price war has begun. Tell the women we are cumming in September https://www.holidaypirates.com/fligh...pt-march_36038.

Si senor. October for me.

Touche' RG. I hope you charge the females a higher hourly rate and then overbill them even more than you do the men LOL.

In my case it would not have mattered because the fees of both sides lawyers were all paid from the same joint pot which reduced what we each got as the pot shrunk. My Ex ran our legal fees way up, wanting minor historical financial details daily for over six months costing both of us thousands. For example, "what happened to the proceeds we received from a used car sale 5 years prior". You would not believe how many attorney hours of back and forth these minutia took and of course both lawyers were enjoying the fees piling up so did nothing to bring some sanity to the exercise. Got to stop this, my blood pressure is going up.

Here is a video of the army killing a guy in QC for breaking the lockdown. Note the onlookers mob about and do not socially distance. Note the other soldiers don't draw and don't seem as concerned. Moral of the story: wait til Duterte gives us the green light to bonk.

Or because spouses allow it to be.

As we pointed out arguing over the ottoman can get expensive but Arbitrated Agreements have become popular and enforceable.

It souldn't be a hard sell to sit down and agree in who gets what vs spend a combined $100 k in fees. Note I said "shouldn't".

Totally agree. That is why I do not get it. I asked my wife how she wanted to divide everything. I drew up the paperwork for her to sign. Instead, she decided to get a lawyer. We went to court and the judge gave me more than the original agreement.

The shit would have cost me only $35 to file the original agreement. Because she went to get a lawyer, ended up costing me the same $35 to file and an extra $15 to serve, and cost her $1500 for the lawyer plus the stuff the judge decided to give to me instead of her. Easier and cheaper to work shit out on your own, type that shit up, and file it yourself. Hundreds of examples to follow on the internet, but greed is a mf.

Realistically you will be using cash for most day-to-day transactions.

I tried using my visa at Johnnies in AC and it was a major disruption to the whole low. Just stick to cash.

Agreed. Cash via ATM is king. Therefore, I never rely totally on just one card nor provider. I've had instances where one card or bank were not accepted but another was.

I've found Visa and MasterCard the most reliable.

Enjoy. G.

Why is divorce so expensive?

Because it is worth it.

I'm a divorce attorney myself. I love getting paid $400 an hour to fight clients' petty squabbles over the wagon-wheel coffee table or who gets an extra couple of hours with the rug rats. Is it a great country or what? LOL.

RG.

My divorce attourny was very upfront about his fees. He made it clear that he would charge his hourly rate no matter what the argurment. If I wanted to pay his rate to argue over small or large amounts the fee was the same. Since I am a construction engineer used of thinking in terms of costs and not winnin at all cost, I was able to keep the costs reasonable, At the end my ex wanted an additional couple of thousand. I quickly determined tha I coud give it to her or to the lawyer, and still might have to give it to her anyway. I hated t let the ***** think that she had won so I said, it was worth the extra to get rid of her and have her out of my life. The look when she realized what she had really lost at that moment was worth the couple grand.

An ex girlfriend and her ex hiusband picked the opposite route, they spend several thousand dollars in legal efes argueing over something worth a couple of hundred just because they were so caught up in the idea of winnig that they could not let it go.

Touche' RG.

I would just like to say if you have any redeeming qualities as a human being, I hope you charge the females a higher hourly rate and then overbill them even more than you do the men LOL.

And in the end fight a little less hard for your female clients helping us on the other side LOL.

Hi guys not sure if this is in the right spot but I'm looking at a new credit card and was wondering if Amex is accepted across the board in Philippines or if I'm better off just going with Visa?

No problem using Amex at major hotels, American fast food places (like Starbucks), airlines or large department stores etc. If you were to go to the local sari sari store to buy your LBFM a 25 kg sack of rice and produced your Amex Black Card to pay for it, they would say "I'm sorry Siiirrrr, but your card has been declined".
