I know you don't want to hear this.
[QUOTE=SteveNash;2439116]Of course she doesn't approve, that's why I'm hiding it from her. I know I look like an as at #$hole for doing this to her, but I'm far from that. Because I treat her very well, and other than this cheating I'm very honest to her, she knows everything about me, and I respect her alot even when sometimes girls flirt with me when I'm with her, I don't even acknowledge them. If she were to caught me, I will stop it right away, say sorry and take it like a man.
But yeah, I agree, I'm playing with fire right now. Well now in the province not too much since she doesn't know much people here where we are.
But in Cebu City. Yes, I risk getting caught since she had friends from her university years, and also her workmates, she lived in Cebu the last 6 years.
I know sooner or later I have to quit this thing before is too late. As a monger the last 10 years and having lots of girls the last 20+ years, I know soon I will end this and start a new chapter in my life. But in the meantime I need to enjoy this as much as I can so I can give a good farewell to this lifestyle.[/QUOTE]But for your own good (I do not know you and am not judging you), you need to get a grip. You're letting your little head do your thinking. Be careful, be exceedingly careful about Filipinas.
I have to remind myself everyday that my sweet, loving tall, gwapa g / f is much like a hookr. She is pretending to love me for the comforts I am providing in contrast to the cr*p place her family lives in and the cr*p food they eat and some other things like actually knowing how to UK. It's an illusion. I remind myself this because one day she will realize that she really doesn't love me as much as she thought and she really doesn't need me as much as she thought and then I will not be too hurt from waking up from a nice dream to reality. I may take her back to the USA with a good prenuptial that makes it more likely she will stay with me till I die, which might not be far off.
And this is the good news haha
Moved to this thread.
[QUOTE=WestCoast1;2439993]Last Friday, March 27: About 500 cases in Phils. Today April 3, just over 3,000 cases. A six-fold increase in a week. A 'bloom' in session. Things don't bode well for April 14.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=GoodEnough;2440124]If anything, the quarantines appear to be tightening, and I don't believe, as one who lives here, that there's an immediate end in sight. In Davao, where I live, individual movements become more restricted every few days, and we're now transitioning to an exit pass system that allows one person per household to leave the property to buy food and / or medicine. The only exceptions are for "essential" workers.[/QUOTE]I am in a different city, but am seeing the same things you mentioned. Right from the start of the lockdown here, many families (including 2 of my regulars) simply started spending 24 hours a day inside their homes. Only 1 person per household goes outside for food, medicine, or other necessity. Another person goes in / out for laundry (the machine is not inside the house for one family, or done by hand for the other fam). Both girls are adamant about not being around anyone else, and about keeping their restless brothers inside the (tiny, sweltering) home. They are as voluntarily locked down as can be (praise be, folk in my country certainly are not sheltering-in-place). My girls and their families are literally afraid.
Mayors and city lockdown rules (Mayoral proclamations) can change. A neighboring city had curfew hours of 9 pm-6 am and a handful of other rules (ie the closure of churches, malls, entertainment venues). Recently a second proclamation lengthened the curfew to 6 pm-6 am, and added another dozen or so minor restrictions (could not understand all of it in the local tongue).
Barangay can tighten the Mayor's restrictions even more, increasing the curfew hours in this or that Brgy, or instituting alcohol bans in the Brgy (but not the city). As these things are unannounced, it can lead to confusion, and don't expect the Brgy to post that information anywhere (at best, and this is shoddy, a brgy official will mention a new rule to a local, expecting it to chismosa its way around, but they are not notifying local hotels or condos. Or convenience stores or saris).
Condos. Immediately stopped accepting new guests of any kind. Or alternately, they briefly for a few days would accept new guests if the guest had a doctor's medical certificate (with CBC) and a Brgy Health Clearance (showing 14 days quarantine); then suddenly they reverted to: No new guests (and that refers to you, airbnb folk, even if you reserved it for 2 people and your local GF is with you, she might now be OUT). Think airbnb can save you in this instance? Good luck, it now takes airbnb 7-10-ish days to return any messages you leave for them ("Apology we are currently overwhelmed by Covid issues"; yes and mine is one of them). The good news is that airbnb has agreed to refund for all Covid issues.
Hotels: Same as condos above, then a number of them closed completely within a week. Many have gone to no new guests, or accepting guests only with a Brgy health clearance. If you are in a hotel, you don't dare leave for another one unless you have spoken directly to the front desk to see if your room is available and ask if you need any medical clearance.
With the bloom of the past week, with many of the new cases coming out of Manila, I can not foresee the NCR being let out of the lockdown. An extra 2 or 4 (or more) weeks, as needed. However provinces might lighten up (those with zero cases). I don't have a province-by-province breakdown of cases and deaths (only the site that ME left for us). Does anyone have such a site?
