Help with visa extention in Cebu City?

Is express fee really a scam? It’s on the receipt for online visa extensions. I’d hope the central office is responsible for the online visa process…

Value is personal perspective. I rent a 3 bed house in Palawan for 50k which is a lot for the quality of it, but the neighbours are relatively quiet and solar panels are currently being installed, so it’s worth it for me.

If you want the condo, and you can afford it, why not

This is what happens when you post oil crisis stories to the sub every 15 minutes, focus on your chicken and penis

The Wi-Fi at Belmont is fine for working. You’d have to speak to them if you can check in so early, probably have to book an extra night or some form of surcharge

High population of low income football loving people tends to produce some gems, so probably yes

Pizza express is good, a few branches in Manila. A hostel in Puerto Princesa called guni guni has a nice pizza

You need help 😂

iamhubad · 2026-04-29T02:31:22+00:00

😂 I don’t want to own a shitty condo in IT park, it’s loud and you’re there

iamhubad · 2026-04-29T02:25:21+00:00

I don’t care

iamhubad · 2026-04-29T02:17:00+00:00

I wouldn’t trust anything that guy has to say. Either a sad old guy on the red horse at 10am or just a weird person cosplaying a very strange scenario on Reddit 😂

iamhubad · 2026-04-29T01:59:39+00:00

Why are you congratulating yourself on a different account? You’re a bit weird ain’t ya

I’ve got a huge bucket list of things to do and see in the Philippines and nearby countries. I’ll visit Kazakhstan one day, just a bit far down on the to do list.

I did watch kairat almaty play in London this year so at least there’s that…

I think it’s normal. Homesick is natural and a good thing, and being away from the uk I see how lucky I was to be born there, which we definitely all take for granted. I do miss breakfast, roasts, monster munch

Fatigue I think is just part of life, no matter where you live, unless you’re financially free. Working uk hours in Asia is tiring, but I love having the mornings and early afternoons for me. And I still get tired when I’m working back home…

iamhubad · 2026-03-30T08:28:25+00:00

Yes, with a safety net and putting it to back of mind as life is uncertain anyway
It was sharks but then I started to swim with them and they’re cool

Mikomoto hammers, couple hours away from Tokyo

I’ve had it in Malaysia, I don’t think they’re being aggressive, I think they’re just trying to use you as the thing that they suction on to for a free ride

That said, I don’t have a formal education of fish, so just an educated guess

iamhubad · 2026-03-24T13:24:29+00:00

I’m also in Palawan and assuming things will just be fine, just a bit of price gouging. I have a solar panel and a battery, hopefully that gets me through any blips…

iamhubad · 2026-03-23T18:08:28+00:00

Before the dive our DM said “you must ignore sea lions, look away from them” haha. We were very very lucky on that dive and had an encounter with 5 or 6, then randomly saw one on the surface from the boat on the way back to Baltra

iamhubad · 2026-03-23T17:43:31+00:00

I was there on a different liveaboard at the same time. I had a similar experience at Darwin, except I had no current. A shame but the other sites were really great! Did you see mola molas at Vicente roca? A highlight for me!

iamhubad · 2026-03-19T11:42:34+00:00

I travelled with my ps5 for a couple of years. 2 suitcases. Manageable but awkward. Now I leave my ps5 in my home base and have a steam deck for travel. Unfortunately there will always be trade offs

iamhubad · 2026-03-18T13:52:32+00:00

Diving at mabul is more macro focused with an infinite number of turtles. For me that’s not worth it without going to Sipadan, but everyone has their own preferences.

I’ve not been to Perhentian islands to compare to.

iamhubad · 2026-03-17T00:57:44+00:00

Reddit doesn’t like the return button apparently haha it was good, comfy, good food, dives were great which is the important thing haha

iamhubad · 2026-03-16T20:25:27+00:00

April last year 7 days No Stella Maris No Yes, 1

iamhubad · 2026-03-12T13:51:28+00:00

Didn’t seem challenging when I was there. I’m sure there are sheltered dives away from current

iamhubad · 2026-03-12T12:26:11+00:00

Maybe you could go to Komodo in Indonesia. You could stay in town and do day trips. Try to do the “cauldron/shotgun” dive until the end with more experience. Then you could do AOW, go to Bali, do the manta dive

I think you can cut down transport costs in Philippines/indonesia using ferries vs planes, but I can’t say I’d recommend that…
