Posts: 6859A month ago somebody mentioned this place for printing needs: InterMatrix. See pics. Its on Makat Ave, next door to Hossein's resto, and across the street from the Sogo (Makati Ave corner Burgos street). Walk in with your stuff, or email them and then walk in. They are relatively fast. I emailed them 6 pages of documents that I needed printed in color and walked in to pick them up. I also needed a passport-type pic of myself for a government document, so I took a selfie on the wall, square-cropped it, and emailed it to them right then. They printed the color documents and eight 2"x2" pics for me for p175. I was in the store for 5 minutes. Have been back several times, they do good work. Open 9 am-6 pm.

I am guessing that is the one? At 9:23 into the video, sitting at NAIA, she turns to her husband and says: "What it the difference in getting your antigen test there (KL) and here?" It appears they did not get covid tested within the 24 hour window prior to departure in KL. The BOQ waives the pre-departure covid test only if you are boosted. At 15:50 into the video, the husband confessed that the couple didn't follow the rules. I must say, the gent remained calm and cool thru the video. Apparently the airline failed them in KL by checking their documents THREE TIMES and missing the required negative covid test each time.
A couple of thoughts about the video. The first third is spent at their hotel and the KL airport. The camera is on a selfie stick, and hubby likes to slowly turn circles while talking into the camera; you could get motion-sickness as the background does not stop turning. Also notice at NAIA, the public areas where they are with the BOQ people, calm, orderly, quiet.
The couple was sent back. A stark reminder of how serious and unbending the government is here regarding the 'rules'.

The Philippine peso is at its weakest in relation to the US dollar since November 2005. This is good news for American punters, and their fawns.

Was watching a youtube video by Tim K and he and his Filipina wife were flying from Kuala Lumpur back to the Philippines and were denied entry. Because 'fully vaccinated' in PH means you had one booster. Neither of them had boosters so they had to wait in 'jail' and were sent back to Kuala Lumpur. If you only have 2 shots they won't let you enter the Philippines, you'll need the 3rd (booster). You have an option of doing 5 days in quarantine but they couldn't find any hotels still offering that.

The weather up here in Valencia, West of Dumaguete, is about as ideal as it gets: 70's - 80's and will get steadily cooler the rest of the year. Storm clouds form quickly in and around Mt. Talinis, where I live, and in my netted, open-air house it sounds as if I am inside the cumulonimbus. Rain makes me especially horny especially when the power goes out there is nothing else to do besides fuck or play acoustic guitar. Water outages occur once or twice a month, too, but my swimming pool serves as temporary relief. I love it here. Cheers.

If you go to a place during typhoon season that gets typhoons, you might die. Tacloban had been on my list for a long time but my intuition told me to can the idea, otherwise I would've been there during that typhoon that wiped the place out.
Living in the Philippines can be testing for even a rich foreigner. I couldn't imagine no electricity, water or food, and no way out. Incidentally, I finally made it a couple years later and I didn't like it. Ormoc had totally changed. And you could still see damage around Tacloban, and every mid range hotel was fully booked, and every good restaurant was packed with NGO guys with their bottle of wine and their Filipina in their new evening dress. By the way, always check to make sure the place youre staying has back up generator. Also ask if its broken, if someone knows how to start it, and if theres gas.. haha.
The Visayas are noted for water sports but it lies in the typhoon belt. I was in Iloilo once and it started raining. Three hours later it was still raining. It rained all night, and three days later it was still raining.
Across the channel from Iloilo is Bacolod. Bacolod gets a lot of rain too but probably not as much as Iloilo. But on the south end of the same island is Dumaguete, which has the best weather of anywhere I've been in the Philippines. It's typically 30 see and sunny. That's one reason there's thousands of goofball foreigners living there. (No offense, Cups, you're not a goofball).
I was one of those goofballs living in Dumaguete, and I'the sit under sunny skies every day, and you could watch as clouds would form over the southern tip of Cebu island, then rain for the rest of the afternoon. Also you could look out at Siquijoir (pronounced sicky-hoar) and watch clouds develop every day and be raining by afternoon.
I'the look out in the direction of Bohol and watch these giant cumulonimbus clouds towering to 40,000 feet every day then finally over develop, so I assumed it was raining out at Bohol. I eventually decided to go there and hopped on the boat. Halfway there we drive into this huge rain squall. When we finally arrived in Tagbilaran it was still raining. And it rained for most of the few days I was there so I didn't get to do the things I wanted to do. I went to Bohol another time and stayed at Panglao and recall the weather being pretty good.

Sometimes it is not so bad staying in the room with your favorite girl all day whether it is raining outside or not.

Just Google Philippine Tourist Attractions and cross reference with girl availability here. Many places have girls nearby, online or at least byo options.
You can also post more specific questions here as many members likely have the same interests as you and can give you opinions.
