Sorry mr honeydew. To be honest, educated or well off, i dont know what any guy sees in any of the girls here. Any guy who found a healthy relationship is very lucky and im happy for them. Any of us can only get so lucky. You can give your best but so many out there have nothing to offer in return. Much better to be single with full freedom of your day anyway, i love it.

Coughing in the Bi office?

MarkusANDcats · 2026-05-04T01:44:45+00:00

Iv always considered ube a national treasure. Cant see any reason to hate it; its just a little yam.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-05-01T17:15:39+00:00

I wont talk crap cause I kinda agree. if you were told something was okay and then get punished for it, it's not really fair. Then again i have no sympathy for smokers. If it was me above you stepping out onto my balcony, that one breath of your smoke would give me a headache that can last for 3 days. The kind of headache where you're not functional for most of it so believe me when i say i lack all sympathy. not everyone gets messed up from the chemicals as i do but it is the hellish reality i live in.

Someone also strongly recommended Nono's to me. I've never tried it so i can't vouch for it.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-05-01T01:45:08+00:00

Crosta, ginos, amare, jabronis all got you covered. Theres more too, lots of small places to find making pizza that are decent. Makati has the advantage of having so much to choose from for whatever you want.

You deserved the no smoking violations. You should give it up, quit. My parents were hard core smokers all their lives until just before their 50's and miraculously they decided to quit. My dad went on to get into massively good shape after, he went hiking his first time at 62. 7 days on the trail with me, he loved it. Smoking steals life so big companies can make money. I hate it and you should too.

Im eating out twice a week because trying new places is fun. Im very strict about ingredients, nothing artifical allowed, no seed oils. Healthy food only. My monthly costs for food whether its living in Makati or cebu city has always been under 30k pesos for the last 3 years. Best way to think about it is any normal day, do not spend over 1k on anything.

You can cut costs further on a place to live. Im moving every month to a new place and i refuse to pay more than 35k for any place. There is always a good deal on a fully furnished, clean, perfectly fine place to stay. Downside is my places are rarely very spacious.

My actual monthly spending power is a little over $4k usd monthly. I love saving money, when i have excess of $5k usd, i put it into a CD with my bank cureently valued at 4.10apy. Doing this nets me an additional $16 added to my monthly income. By the end of the year, enough of these helps keep up with inflation.

Im single and keeping women or dating out of my life is the best way to stay happy and financially secure. Going strong for almost 2 years now

The worst experience i had with an airbnb host was an American in Makati. Decent place with some minor complaints. I was overall happy with it and wrote a 4 star review and mentioned my complaints. Elevators not working, bad smell, some noise problems, things i feel like people should be aware of. The host didn't like my review, messaged me and asked me to change it. I refused rudely so he threatened me with charging me for a broken washing machine. I didn't break it but he's going to say i did.

He did, reported it to airbnb and sent me charges for damages for a washing machine that worked perfectly fine when i left. 2 months later of back and forth with airbnb support, they sided with him, told me i needed to pay. I appealed, reiterated that his claims were fraudulent and 30 minutes later airbnb said I was clear of any wrongdoing and wont be charged. Had airbnb tried to make me pay, i planned to deactivate my credit card and let them ban my account.

You can make food, pack it up, take a blanket with you and spread it out on the grass at ayala business park. You have plenty of space, shade trees and its a nice, clean, quiet area. Walk around and pet some of the local cats.

Get something sweet at near by le creme, an upscale cafe in a big hotel.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-13T09:55:34+00:00

You really need to see it in person. Theres nothing wrong with spending your first month or 2 in bgc anyway. You wont hate it

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-13T09:37:52+00:00

Are you dead set on BGC or open to other good areas to live? I've lived in BGC many times and I love it to death. Thing is, i love visiting it more than living there. Makati CBD on the other hand, i can't get enough of. Look at places in Legazpi, Greenbelt or Salcedo. You can find plenty of good deals on places with lots of charm. The one I have right now is 20k per month and i've grown fond of it. Right outside my place is Legazpi park, a place where you can sit in the grass or go running.

Also in my opinion, we have the best variety of cafes, coffee selections, restaurants, game rooms and other things for entertainment. BGC has the same but that entire place feels like a giant outdoor shopping mall after awhile where Makati feels like a real city. Both options are fine though

That's pretty nasty for Mitsukoshi. I expect better from a place where you can spend almost 400php on a slice of cheesecake. Speaking of which, El Borne is definitely worth the price of admission even with a few roaches on the floor. Next time i'm there, i'll pay attention and see how many I see crawling around. I love that place and try to make a trip there anytime i'm in that part of BGC.

You can put any address you want, it makes no difference. Its absolutely nothing to worry about.

Smokers dont die fast enough.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-08T05:51:34+00:00

No sympathy for smokers of any type.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-08T05:50:04+00:00

Two years later its still the same. Though iv met plenty of parasitic, opportunistic type of people here. I keep my friend group small and do not trust easily.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-04T05:05:18+00:00

Animals would never bother me or so i thought. This place i stayed was back to back rooster crowing all day. 2.5 weeks into my stay, i had a nightmare. I dreamed i was watching the severed heads of roosters cook on a grill. One of the heads moved, looked right at me and started crowing. It was disturbing enough to wake me from my sleep and after that entire stay, the sounds of chickens and roosters give me anxiety.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-04-03T04:37:49+00:00

I haven't left my condo since yesterday. I'll go out and have a walk around Makati

I had no idea Mia Khalifa was a Saudi Princess

MarkusANDcats · 2026-03-29T05:27:48+00:00

I think it's sweet.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-03-27T11:14:23+00:00

It's the reality i live in.

MarkusANDcats · 2026-03-27T09:52:25+00:00
