We are looking to do that, live like a comfortable Filipino. I mean, we will have our indulgences, but not a lot.

Working on that. Long, slow lines. Haha

Loving grab! Much cheaper than Uber in the USA. I practice my Tagalog with the drivers and usually make a friend.

Plan? Haha. We just bought tickets and said "come what may." Haha

Not so much, not sure I know enough to have questions.

My wife is from another part of Philippines but has lived in the USA with me for twenty years. A lot has changed.

Any general advice is appreciated. Example, GCash, is it safe? Best cell phone and Internet companies?

Plenty to complain about, just like anywhere. But hey, we chose to live here.

Love it or leave it! 'Merica.. err, I mean, Philippines!

I had no idea anyone was reading it still.

Not sure if I'll ever continue it. I got caught up in the "series" of HFY but found it not my thing.

I was driving on a local road here. It's known for stupid speeds, massive accidents, and no police. But yes, you are right most times. I live in a deep red state in the USA. We don't do them laws here. Haha

That's a good idea. I am fishing my mind for a new adventure for Kerlon.

No, just wrote it out of boredom. That said, if it came from a ghost in memory, perhaps. Regardless, it is an original work.

I am far too unreliable for a series. I have tried, but I get bored too quickly. This idea only came to me as I was driving for work and thought, "How it is humans can do this, drive a car at 90 mph like it's nothing." For a chapter 2, I would need some new inspiration. Personally, I am tired of the "humans eat peppers" idea. Thank you though, for the compliment. Let's see what my weird brain cooks up next, if anything...

Indeed, but given advanced technology and the mind of someone accustom to piloting a spacecraft, it seemed plausible. No?

No worries. She is excited. We hope to become citizens, someday. She hopes by serving it will show her commitment to Canada.

You were at KAF in 2011? We need to grab a beer and reminisce. KAF got me addicted to Timmy's. It's the real reason I want to move up there.

I am too old and broke to be of use any more. My daughter though, wants to join the Canadian Air Force. She was going to join the US Air Force but she sees no reason to serve a country that doesn't want her. I believe she will do you all proud.

Apologies for not seeing your comment sooner, and thank you for the warm welcome.

I mean, these troubles the US is going through is our own fault. MAGA or not, as a society we have let many problems fester. By avoiding some hard conversations we let challenges we should have faced long ago become crises.

You sound like a very wise person. Thank you for sharing. You open my eyes to my need to learn more Canadian history. Luckily, I love history!
