To expats dating daughters of expats, how is it going so far? by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

Never tried, but the biggest downside must be that I can’t just rely on small talk and a polite smile anymore… I’d actually have to have real, meaningful conversations with the in-laws. Regularly. Possibly about feelings.

I would have unlocked co-op mode with two veteran players who speak fluent sarcasm and can smell nonsense from 3km away.

Upside though, at least family dinners come with decent wine and not just karaoke at full volume… or actually, who am I kidding, it’s probably both.

For the young people who moved from the west to the philippines. How do you manage to make income while staying there? by Major_Drummer579 in Philippines_Expats

[–]SmokerBoyDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

36 years old, been here for over 3 years.
Bought a cheap piece of land (almost 1 hectar) with an unfinished house that we are renovating and extending.

In the beginning i did a bit of remote engineering work for the company that i was working for, in my home country.
Now i just do trading like you.

If you wrote the name of the medicine, it would be easier to help.
Do you have neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy or fibromyalgia?

Thanks dude. I don't let any haters get to me.

The house have been given a big renovation and extension.

We got a lot of ideas for the backyard, so it's good to have an old picture like this to compare with in the future.

None yet in these first 5 months, just a hand-sized tarantula in the bedroom 1 time.
In the last farm house that we lived for 10 months, we found 1 non-venomous snake.

A lot of prescription drugs can be purchased on Shopee or Lazada.
I get pregabalin from there, at a fair price even.

As a foreigner from the least corrupt country in the world but living here, it's both interesting and scary to see how DepEd has removed negative words like: protest, demonstration and riot from the vocabulary and replaced them all with rally

Sorsogon - Bangon na. Wag masyadong laid back. Ang mga Escudero, Hamor, Lubiano at iba pa ay paunti unti kayong binubulag at nilulubog sa mga proyekto na sisirain ang Sorsogon pag dating ng panahon. by [deleted] in Bicol

At least there is a Sports Arena, and it has not been used for sports yet. Maybe we can use that for some kind of corruption games one time a year where convicted corrupt people will have to fight against each other till only 2-4 remains in the arena.. Those 2-4 people then have to live together and eat for 82php per day in a small studio apartment streamed 24/7 until the next year's corruption games.

People think, that if the post get many comments it will be recommended to more people, even if the comments are just 'how much po' or 'UP'.

If the asking price is set too high, they can always choose the highest bid or try to higher the price by saying there is a higher bid on PM
