Or as a Facebook commenter said he might have got a smell of my Hash shoes.

Thanks, Kev. Good information. Yeah, I’m just going to have to adjust my methods to deal with the inherent toughness of local meats, most of which are from Australia. I’m told the difference between the USDA cuts I’m accustomed to is that Aussie beef is grass fed rather than grain fed.
First I’ve seen of the H3H3 dude, pretty damn funny though. Not sure if it is him, but I did lift the meme from a private H3 Facebook group, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Gee it’s good to be back home again…
Yeah Pete. Even in “rich” Makati it’s in your face.

Thanks Lauren. I’m going to email them for guidance on how to proceed.

No. I did over 10,000 steps earlier in the day. I’m a 7,000 steps an hour guy….at least on flat ground.

Yeah, those quotes are in the “Unfuck Yourself” book. I haven’t finished it yet, but it strikes me as a “power of positive thinking” treatise. Nothing really new so far, but a good reminder to keep focused on the good. A couple of times I’m like “oh yeah, that’s what Kevin told me too”…ha ha!
I’m going to have to tread very carefully with Gina, way too soon for me to even contemplate a “relationship”.

Thanks for the link to video, look forward to seeing it.
Yeah, I was seeing Jessa more as a sugar daddy thing anyway, another potential way to go. We are having dinner on Saturday night, so we’ll see what’s up soon enough.
As always, your insights and advice are most appreciated!

The date that will live in infamy…
Thanks, Rascal. Just going to keep on keeping on and see where it takes me.

Yep and they are always fucking with my head. Or so it seems.

Kev, the 30,000 included my regular morning walk…
Soju: I aim to please…
» Posted By John On 27/September/2018 @ 11:48 am
Yeah. It’s coming. As far as I know no one here knows about my blog. Not that that ever stopped me.

Haha…not Buddy. A secret admirer sneaking shots of that ass!

Soju, I have to renew my tourist visa every 60 days. Plan to get the retirement visa which comes with an annual fee…

Oh. Guess I should have said “a” shot… English is such a difficult language!
» Posted By John On 30/July/2018 @ 11:24 pm
Haha. All things in moderation. I guess it’s all or nothing lately.

Well, rainy and cold never happens here at least!
Not forbidden to speak of our rituals as far as I know. We always start by going around the circle and giving our Hash name. Then the Hare sits on the ice while our leader asks us each individually what we thought of the trail. Anyone who says something positive about trail joins the Hare on the ice. Despite that outcome, you are supposed to be honest. This week I complained the trail was “too wet” which kept my ass off the ice.
Anyway, there are songs for every event. The Hare song is “Shitty Trail” which is sung to the old Mickey Mouse Club tune: “s-h-i, t-t-y, t-r-a-i-l shtty trail, shitty trail. The Hare has laid another shitty trail…” One of the few I know most of the words to now. At the conclusion of the song whomever is on the ice is advised to “drink it down, down, down” (meaning his beer) and he gets up…
So there are several more of these, violation of Hash etiquette punishments–like “blood on the trail” (which has put me on the ice twice so far), not wearing Hash gear, etc. Basically lots of singing roguish and un-PC songs (Ricky the retard comes to mind). And the circle closes with a very nontraditional version of “Coming for to carry me home”.
Anyway, the Hash lives up to its reputation as “a drinking club with a running problem”. Although not every in attendance drinks, water is an acceptable substitute. Folks are generally friendly and for me it breaks up my routine days. I know I look forward to it each week.
You’ll have to give it a try when you visit….

He seems more settled now Rascal…
» Posted By John On 06/July/2018 @ 11:43 pm
Yet.

It’s actually more like they are living in the garage, not in the house at all. I think on balance it will serve my interests having them there.

11 straight days of rain now. I think even I’m turning green….

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s the same builder…there is actually a grouping of four houses, all owned by the Ocampo family.
Yeah, good idea on steel doors, I certainly suggest it….

It’s a Chinese curse to be destined to live in interesting times. Or so I’ve been told…
» Posted By John On 09/June/2018 @ 4:43 pm
Thanks, Jerry. As far as I can tell the owner was hoping to find a buyer and decided to lease as a fall back. Anyway, I’m going to be living there long term so I’ll suck it up and fix it up like it were mine.

Damn, why didn’t I think of that? Well, I do have to return next week to get the stitches removed….

Thanks as always for your words of wisdom, Kevin.

Tell me about it. The landlord is legit I think.
» Posted By John On 30/May/2018 @ 6:04 pm
He showed me 3 long term vacancies. This one, the house next door, and the one I posted the other day. My guess is he has priced them above market value.

«« Back To Stats PageYes. I’m going to have a small fenced in portion built as a dog run. Lot size is tough to figure. 4 houses seem to share a common area, including a non functioning fountain. Gonna pass on the dirty maid. If I hire a helper it’s gonna be strictly hands off. Lesson learned and all that.
