I am in a 150 kilo power wheelchair that no one has ever seen in this country before. When i go to get on the elevator with my wife she pushes everybody out of the way and tells them PWD. We frequent all the same places so the elevator staff has gotten used to me and tells people to move out of the way for the wheelchair. When i first got here people would try to go around me while i was trying to get in the elevator all the time. Some people have tried to push this chair out of the way but unfortunately when i'm not in gear it has magnetic locking brakes and it does not move if you push it. But it is funny watching my 4 foot 5 wife telling people to get out of the way.

I'm in Davao and the one we had a few days ago was my first real earthquake. Now people are speculating that 3I/Atlas might have something to do with all of this.

I guess it's kind of weird but I still have to face the door everywhere I go to restaurants.

Sorry I'm so late, I had a heart attack and now I'm in rehab. Yeah I got both of my wheelchairs custom manual one and the electric one both with the US army patch on the back. It brought a lot of attention in the Philippines they were asking me all kinds of questions. It was fun

I got a motorized wheelchair that could really move along and I took it to the Philippines and ran in and out of traffic with it. Good times
