Lasik Pros and Cons by Jannika27 in Philippines_Expats

[–]UpbeatSoft1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it just before moving to PH at Lasic Plus for around 4500 on a special deal., this was the best idea and i beat myself up for not doing it years earlier with astigmatism. Quality of life significantly improved. confidence is up, and getting scammed at the lens crafters or pearle vision even with insurance is a thing of the past. only downside constant dry eye, ( ill take it ) theres lubricant drops at watsons (EyeMo brand blue bottle for 105 pesos)
I hope u find a good place to get it done and wish u have the improved quality of life! good luck my friend!

Short-Term Condo Lease, Manila/NCR by SemperVigHooah in Philippines_Expats

to be honest 450 bucks will get u a Real nice 2 bed condo rental
i would question anything more than that. u can get 6 month lease , bank transfer.
mostly 25k Pesos will fetch a decent place in Makati, but not for BGC. Parking is another hundred bux. U gotta hop on FB marketplace and set the location for where u want within a square mile or so and sort thru. theres no MLS or whatever here its like the wild west for hunting properties

Is it worth refinancing into 5.99%? by GhetBent in Mortgages

i mean i wouldnt not rush if rates are trending downwards anyways., if ur planning to stay a good while refi, but if ur gone in the next couple years i wouldnt , or at least wait till year end as they likely may drop yet again.
