As the saying goes, their PhD was not in common sense.

I have found that Common Sense is not so common after all. My comment is not directed at the Philippines, it is everywhere.

Actually, my 4'8" princess has been the source of most frustration. One would think she'd be able to explain the basics of how things work here but she doesn't. Any good advice I've received has been from talking to ex-pats here. If / when I do re-visit, I'll go solo. The little woman is a clueless dingbat.

Maybe you need to choose better. There are the girls that have no clue. There are also the girls that are able to organize themselves and negotiate. You will need to come up with your own testing criteria. Set the new girl a couple of tests. Things like:

Can you go find us a driver to take us to Manila please.

Do you the best way to get to (somewhere random).

Please book is and Check into this hotel.

There is someone for everyone in Philippines. Ask and you shall receive.

As the saying goes, their PhD was not in common sense.

A previous employer implemented psychometric testing to assist with recruitment and promotion selection.

Many times those that were functionally illiterate scored the highest in reasoning and problem solving.

Give them a yard of fencing wire and three marbles and they could build/repair anything. Maybe not to Code but it would work. 😁

T..... I have known people with education in the PHD level that were totally useless as a daily functioning human being. ....

Anyone would think it's a post-apocalyptic scene around AC judging by the inflated reports I have been hearing and reading.

Remember, as I said before, filipinos love to exaggerate so divide every tale of woe by 1/2 and then subtract a further third and you might get nearer to the truth.

LOL. I hit my exgirlfriend up asking if everything was okay. She was more concerned about me not telling her happy birthday the day before.

Me: are you okay?
Her: I'm still in shocked. Not realy.
Me: drink some whiskey.
Her: 🥴129396;129396;.
Her: I don't have whiskey.
Me: shit.
Her: Only water.
Her: You forgot my bday again.
Me: didn't forget. It was yesterday.
Her: Then why didn't you greet me.
Me: happy birthday!

There are people all over the world both male and female who are filed into several categories. Regardless of their education they are 1. Dingbats / clueless 2. No common sense 3. How do they breath and so on. I have known people with education in the PHD level that were totally useless as a daily functioning human being. In short education is nice to have, but it's not everything.

The little woman is a clueless dingbat.

It's not just the uneducated hookers who are dingbats. The educated, professional class pinays in my country are not much better. I have come across lots of accounting, finance and admin types and they have no common sense or general knowledge. That's with a four-year college degree. They can follow instructions, blend in culturally and will generally get the basic job done. Just don't go giving them complex problems to solve. I guess the better quality, well connected ones don't leave the Philippines.

It's a post-Easter bonanza for girls to seek out disaster relief from their love-sick sponsors all over the world.

That might work if they're sending guys news articles, but the streets are back to their hot, stinky version of normal.

Suck it up Princess. 😁.

On a serious note, I've stopped visiting in the week between Christmas and New Year due to the frequency of being trapped by typhoons, earthquakes and general Acts of God.

Enjoy. G.

Thanks for any updates, Mr. E. I have loved ones in Olangapo and Angels that I have not been able to contact.

This country is trying to kill me. So many things have gone wrong in the past two weeks (including getting sick several days) and now Clark is shut down and my airline rings busy. Seems I'm going to miss my flight out tomorrow morning. Can't even get an update, such as if my flight will be re-routed out of Manila.

The Philippines is third world SHIT on a good day.

Don't worry, they will soon be in touch seeking funds.

Nothing causes mass hysteria more than a tremor, whether it is large or small.

Filipinos love drama, and they magnify things 100-fold.

Check out the hyperbole in this report (even if it is an Aussie newspaper):
