My friends in Mindanao tell me the place is still shaking.

G.

In Cebu province is still shacking right now, GF is outside, doesn't want to go back to sleep, she's participating in the general paranoia.

I was having a similar debate with a friend on my last trip. I made the comment that, looks wise, I was batting well above average this time. While there were a couple of girls who were very average, the majority were much prettier and better performing than normal. We both agreed that now that we are older, we are much fussier and not inclined to waste a shot at goal just to get laid. Conservation of resources is now important. I agreed that I had actually refused several girls due to them not being up to grade. It wasn't that long ago that I would have fucked everyone available and just declined to brag / mention those who weren't noteworthy.[/QUOTE]Agreed much more fussy. When younger ID screw about anything that was willing, much more picky now. Why? Well because we can. I show photos to friends here and they say my God you never had women like that, true as America is much more competitive plus we do not have as many beautiful women in abundance. I think sometimes of what I've screwed before I came to Philippines, I'd be embarrassed to show those photos. I did show one from about 25 years ago to a girlfriend here as some buddies were in the shot I wanted her to see. OMG you were dating her? Were you drunk, haha yeah I must have been. I think too we have less time left on this earth so if ain't a babe why bother. So yeah must be young, under 30 not fat or ugly and no starfish in bed, pretty simple.

It is quite a disaster. People out of their homes, no water, no food and no shelters. But the Filipinos have stepped up to help their people. Have seen many carrying food and water by motorbikes to the villages as the roads are impassable.

Please don't be shy to donate as there may be no one else to do it. I have donated a good sum of money that I won't be needing. Before the wise azzs start warning me of scams I have vetted these people and they are fine people who come together to help each other.

From the article:

[I]Meanwhile, the number of injured has climbed to 1,116, while fatalities have reached 72, according to the latest report from the Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).[/I]

It was magnitude 6 near Bogo at 1:06 am this morning. Was felt as a 4 here in Cebu City. But being on the 19th floor even that felt like a good shake. Luckily didn't have to evacuate at that hour. We just seem to be in the middle of a dangerous seismic stretch right now. I think I may shift out of the high rise.

But did you see the man in New York that did the news interview confessing to killing his parents so he could send their money to chicks in the Philippines? He said, "The government is pissed because I took the social security money and gave it to people who were starving in the Philippines." Then he told them to put the interview on youtube.

This is exactly the kind of weird mfs that don't intend to go, but steady sending money. Gullible ass believed people were actually starving. My first thought is well what the hell are you doing on the internet if you are starving? You should be out trying to sell whatever device you are on so you can get food.

These areas are significantly more poverty stricken with worse infrastructure than the coast and city areas. We are doing this in coordination with the NDRRMC. Current plan is to do purchasing on the 22nd /23rd of this month, repackaging into aid parcels on the 24th and then a delivery trip on the 25th (a truck and a 4 WD). This timing is based on the fact that the primary relief efforts will have started to reduce by then, but the needs will not. If anyone wants to get involved or would consider donating to help us purchase more supplies that would be amazing. We have currently raised a little under 600,000 peso for this. If you can contribute just send me a PM to discuss. I recognise that this is a necessarily anonymous community online in ISG and that will make it harder for people to consider committing via a stranger! I wasn't going to post anything here, but seeing as DG made the comment I just wanted to follow through.

I hope for your groups continued success. I would contrite to your group if I wasn't helping a few others here. The need is so great that it only feels like a little trickle we are doing but it is felt by the recipients.

Keep up the good work BH!
