[QUOTE=RedKilt;1792156]I am into my 19th continuous year living here now and I find it gets easier as time passes because I surround myself with (mostly) positive people (rarely disillusioned expats) and I never get too hung up on anything that I CANNOT CHANGE.[/QUOTE]An excellent attitude!
Some foreigners contribute to perceptions among the native Philippine populace that lead to foreigners in general being subjected to shabby treatment. Recently, an elderly Caucasian expat was celebrating the birthday of his baby son. Noticing the child looked entirely like the mother from Samar without the slightest hint of European genes expressed, I enquired about this strange phenomenon. It was then revealed that the expat's Filipina wife cuckolded him with a Filipino who impregnated her. The foreigner being a sweet guy forgave her and accepted the bastard child as his own. In fact, he was so forgiving that the guy who fucked his wife was in attendance at the birthday party.
I suspect the fact that there is no easy way out of a Philippine marriage contract, especially when the foreigner has purchased house and lot in the wife's name, has a lot to do with this expat's resignation to lifelong cuckold status. From a practical point of view at his age it would probably be suicide to write off his nest egg invested in the purchase of the property and attempt to start over on his meager pension in the twilight of his life. However, what the Filipinas in attendance at the party took away from this is that foreigners are very sweet forgiving and accepting of being cuckolded and raising the offspring of the wife's pinoy boyfriend.
[QUOTE=RedKilt;1789430]Further to my earlier post about APEC in Manila on November 17 - 20, Cebu Pacific has issued this list of cancelled flights.

I haven't yet seen anything from PAL.
It might also be wise to check any other airline's schedule if you plan to be travelling to or within the Philippines at this time.[/QUOTE]Further to my earlier posts about APEC:
Another update in case guys figure it will be OK and they will wing-it.

The Government of the Philippines is pulling out all stops to ensure that the APEC Conference runs smoothly, and doesn't mind inconveniencing anyone else. It would be wise to avoid traveling to or from Manila from immediately prior to through immediately after the conference. I'm not sure if non-Manila travel, such as flights routed through Cebu or Davao would be affected, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they were. Normally, I would have planned to be in Manila for business that week, but as it is, and given that we've got to close the office in any case, I'm going to stay put in Davao.
GE.
A while ago for those who remember I bought a box from GNC with 100 50 MG tabs of zinc. Now I have finished the box and I must say after a long life beeing aware of my sperm (in many ways) I do shoot bigger doses, I can shoot more often and it also seems the sperm is beeing whiter and looks more delicious (felt strange writing this).
I got snipped a while back maybe that has got something to do with it. Just saying as a selfmedicater (with minor advices from my inhouse doc who can not control me, he is laughing).
And from those strongly advice against doing so(i am very aware of what zinc does to ur body and how we get zinc into our system). I have done a lot of strange things in my life(high sensation seeker)ex drugs and still i havent been sick more than 2 times(flu)in m life. I have my inhouse doctor also say i should not selfmedicate but he accepts it as long as i consult him through sms(he is also a friend). He is blending a nice coctail sometimes makes ur dick last for 5-6days. I am not so brave to try that one yet, nor do i have the needs. But it is sure nice to know when the day comes and junior is protesting heavily, there is a way:-)
Some information disseminated to Aussie expats today from the Oz govt website suggests that there is increasing evidence that groups in the Philippines are expanding their kidnapping intentions beyond the "normal" no-go zones in Southern Mindanao.
Now we all know that many travel advisories are often quite extreme and are designed to cover the Embassy in case anything goes pear-shaped but the current circumstances here are worthy of note:
Politicians need more cash for next year's elections and so the more unsavory of the species seek additional cash through fair means or foul.
The travel advisory suggests that these kidnap-for ransom groups [I]have the capability to target locations frequented by tourists in southern Palawan, southern Negros or Siquijor.[/I].
In other words, they are now moving into Visaya areas.
Those of you travelling in Northern Mindanao and southern Visayas beach areas should take extra care. No doubt the US Embassy will provide similar advice.
Thank you for the details Superman. You never get sick and you never have a filipina show up late. Quite a record!

Thanks RK. I was shocked when some folks were taken from Samal Island (near Davao city). I've been to Samal beaches several times.

But on my behalf its rare so I don't understand all the trouble. Again, my trick is to deal with females living close to Makati. Not so big hazzles getting them on time then. Not an Einstein soulution id say. Sorry for beeing humbly pro some selfmedication at times X man. When I grow older I might regret it but until then i "rock on".

GE.[/QUOTE]Philippine Airlines website has not announced their cancelled flights arising from the APEC. According to their website, they are still waiting to hear what runways will be closed down. !! The good news is that they have advised that travelers will be able to change their flight reservations without charge if travel had been booked within the period 16-20 November.
Disdain for the Natives.
Disdain for the natives is created in part by the actions of the locals and in prejudices that foreigners harbor prior to arriving. Most foreigners come to Philippines with a mentality that they are somehow superior to the natives mentally, financially and sexually.
Most foreigners seem to think they are more intelligent than the natives which this is proven time and time again to not be the case. That is why these financial scams (planted young girl, planted illegal items) are perpetually perpetrated.
Financially foreigners throw money around boasting about their financial situation when there are some natives who wield considerable money and power and who frequent some of the same establishments as your average mongers such as the Greenbelt.
On this very board you see overweight, over 40 years of age men brag about their sexual prowess and how they show the girls "new" things that her native boyfriend / s did not show her. The truth of the matter is Filipino men for the most part are sex addicts (just like their female counterparts) and can fornicate with the best of them.
The natives cause disdain due to their own laziness, incompetence, simple minded, hostile, hypocritical and jealous behavior. They always seem to make a big deal whenever a foreigner is around and sometime harass the foreigner even when the foreigner is doing nothing to warrant attention.
The local men seem to always want to try to prove how tough they are especially when they know they they will be supported in numbers and by the law if any altercation occurs. Text message based threats will be sent by some jealous lover in defense of some bar girl you anal barebacked weeks ago.
Doing business transactions here one will see documents not processed years later after requesting they be processed. Documents lost or the foreigner blamed that he did not complete certain form. Bills for utilities created out of thin air. Dog shit being left in corridors of $200,000 condos. Taxi drivers charging exorbitant fees for short rides.
To sum it all up is there is enough blame to go around.
I can not count how many phil girls loving me, hehe. I am not delusional so I know this saying means probably as much or as little as "did you have your breakfast" or "have you eaten yet". On the other hand its kind of cute if you deal with it the right way and I have no idea if I do?? I would believe this is common to a lot of you fine gents out there but do we realy know what "I love you" means to a pinay? My guess would be its their way of sucking into us believing if I treat this guy with nice words he would be on my regular fuck schedual with additional compensation wishes Am I right? I've never responded nor told any pinay (ex my half half GF) I love them as I think this word itself call for much more commitment than a shortly fucksession.
I went to BI today to extend my 30 days. The trip there was nauseating and the same back. By that I mean the taxi rides, the stop and go traffic with slow swerving in and out of lanes and the bad clutching made me almost vomit a few times. Now I understand why some taxis smell like vomit! It is vomit!
I must say the BI has it together with a smooth operation and more than polite staffing. If you didn't come prepared with one 2" x 2" photo and one copy of your passport and entry stamped page, you can get it done right outside of the building expediously. I had brought a photo so only needed the copies made. I thought maybe an outrageous cost for on the location copying. 4 pesos! That is 2 pesos a copy sir. With my 30+ days millionaire budget I gave him 10 pesos and said keep the change! Yep I blew it for the next guys.
The whole process took less than 23 minutes and I was out the door with my extension less 4140 pesos in my pocket. Let's hope I dodge the bullet at the airport!

Your exp in phil girls is much higher than mine and like you I treat my girls with respect and dignity. So I guessing its all 50/50 and win win for these girls. Even if you did tell them I love you etc, I am sure it won't stop them from meeting other men. They don't understand commitment, not that us mongerers are seeking any commitment, just good GFE and fuck sessions.

GE.[/QUOTE]To follow up from RK's FR on APEC and NAIA this is on the road closures. It will be very messy, congested and horrible.
While for some APEC must be a popular talking shop, it will create huge congestion for the majority, and a 'no fly' zone. But then they closed Manila for 5 days for the Pope effectively and NAIA so what do we know.

If going to / from the airport best add a few hours.
The next problem is that you arrive at the NAIA very early and what can you do to bide your time waiting for the departure? Not much as NAIA is no BKK, KL, Singapore airport (and won't be for a long time) LOL.
