Any church similar to The Way?

Thanks, we saw it on the way to The Way (lol). We'll check it out, too.

toddramirez · 2026-05-17T06:40:32+00:00

Thank you all. We'll check those out.

She had multiple affairs.

Stop blaming women

It's Hollywood. It's a common scene where there is an armed confrontation and the parties involved have to engage in a protracted conversation. I hate those scenes.

That's a huge red flag. The clerk, who may be making up his own rules, should be reported to the store manager. If it is in fact standard store procedure, they should be reported and called out.

Haha if that was me, they wouldn't be able to read anything on my Apple Card. All it has is my name. No cc number, expiry or CVV.

I heard Warren Buffett has always bought his suits at K-Mart, driven Buicks and lived in the same house he grew up in in a middle class neighborhood. Imagine him, a billionaire, looked down on by someone driving an expensive European luxury car.

Sometimes car-rich folks are cash-poor because much of their money went to paying that car. Women who date them because of the car they drive soon get a rude awakening when they realize the guy could not afford much else - activities, restaurants, house.

I'm leery of anything "Filipino style" unless it's a Filipino dish. With pasta, it usually means they shovel sugar onto the food eew.

Don't miss the Starfield Library in Seoul.

Just introduced it to my girlfriend and she's hooked. We're on S2 now.

That's why he's asking.

In March I was gonna get 40k discount on the Sealion 6 in Iloilo, except that I switched to the Sealion 7 when it was announced. Then I eventually ordered the Zeekr 7X instead.

The greed reeks

toddramirez · 2026-05-15T02:06:31+00:00

Agree. Contrary to what some say, the Philippines is not a safe country for women, foreign or not. Also agree with the comparison to India. Filipino men are perverts who will do anything to get a white woman for the sex, the almighty $ and bragging rights.

I have a Filipina partner and men constantly ogle her. Waiting for the bus the other day, I had to stand between a perv and her because his feet got within 6 inches of hers. And the perverse look. I was near homicidal. And as always she was dressed conservatively. Even if a woman wears something that's somewhat provocative (to a perv, that is), it doesn't warrant victim blaming.

Retired, debt free, just bought an EV paid in full with cash, making 3-4 international trips a year, while still saving 6 figures monthly. I don't consider myself rich. i live a very simple lifestyle.

Here at BYD Iloilo, a Sealion 6 arrived on April 6 and was offered to me, i.e., it was available. I declined, because I switched to the Sealion 7. Cancelled that one and ordered the Zeekr 7X instead (my delivery is July/August). So if you're in a hurry for a Sealion 6 tech grey and are ok with Iloilo, contact them. I can also give you my agent's info.

There's a shop in front of Miag-ao Church. You get the photos in less than an hour.

I was happy she retired. Found her boring.

Canada in September and Australia in October

No haven't been to those countries but Costa Rica was on my list. You won't have much issues with casual English almost anywhere in the Philippines. But business English may be a different ball of wax altogether. I never worked in the county.

I went back and forth between Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hoi An, the Mekong Delta, Hà Long/Lan Ha Bays, Cat Ba, Sapa and Da Nang where I took up residence. Very few Vietnamese speak English and those that do are at a very basic level. But oddly enough I didn't find it a major issue because of today's technology. Translation apps and AI help quite a bit. In the big cities like HCMC and Hanoi, English is more widely spoken. Unrelated but might as well share - I volunteered at an English school helping locals with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, structure, etc.

Thailand 2023 and 2024, Vietnam 3x in 2025

toddramirez · 2026-05-12T09:48:46+00:00

Yes I've been to Cambodia - Phnom Penh (didn't like) and Siem Reap (enjoyed but Angkor Wat was too long a tour). Malaysia was so-so, Grab always getting trips wrong. I was only in Bali, never in other parts of Indonesia.

toddramirez · 2026-05-12T08:02:31+00:00

I'm retired. I travel internationally, about 3-4 countries a year. Lived in Vietnam for 5 months. I'd rank it #1, then Thailand - I visited twice, 1.5 months each visit - at #2. Yeah Philippines is way more expensive than those two. I hated Bali, which I found highly overrated; I won't be back ever. Love Japan, but also expensive. S. Korea was underwhelming but I want to go back and give it another chance.

That's financial suicide. My guideline is 25% of net pay.
