Re: The quarantine issue for visitors to the Philippines
The latest on the quarantine of the visiting foreigners to the Philippines is the quarantine of 7 days only for those with complete vaccine. Take note that you will be quarantined to a hotel at your own choice and expense. That is like being in jail for a week and you have to pay for your jail cell ...

Re: Nomadic Lifestyle
I am a homebody and as much as possible I want to stay in our country. My younger brother is a nomad. He loves to leave home and take a vacation anywhere. When he became an adult he would live alone and when he got a family he settled in a far away rural town. Maybe what he really wanted is independ...

Re: Why you decided to leave your home country and live abroad?
I am still living in my home country but I have plans to move to another country for working and living. I have no plans to live forever in a foreign country, but I might stay in a foreign country for 10-15 years. Instead of staying in one country for a long time, I might be frequently traveling to...

Re: Opinions on Rodrigo Duterte
Today a friend in Facebook posted that Duterte is a gift from God. By golly, God sent us someone who is quick in issuing curses and hate words? That is a crazy idea. No worries because I had unfriended that friend from Facebook. I don't want crazy people posting crazy items on my timeline.

The karaoke is banned by 9 pm
If you want to sing then can you not sing without the microphone? That makes me wonder why the singers of karaoke at home would shoot up the volume of their speaker. It is like he wanted his singing to be heard by the community. Now there is a ban on karaoke singing by 9 pm. That is a good ordinance.

Movies with English subtitles
In Fox movie channel in cable the movies shown have subtitles in English regardless if the movie is in English. I enjoy more watching a movie with subtitle because I can read when I cannot understand the pronunciation or when the dialogue is very soft like a whisper. Some say they are distracted wit...

Re: Opinions on Rodrigo Duterte
Duterte is the only president that I know who say bad words and curses very often. He is also the president who has no good manners like he is the king of our country. Pardon me for this comment because that is what we see every time he goes on tv.

Re: Shipping to the Philippines
If you are going to send a package to the Philippines what you need is the shipping company there in your country. Check out their performance. Usually the shippers in our country are connected to the local shipper in the foreign country. When the items land in the Philippine shores that's the time ...

When I was working in a Japanese software house I would be conversing with our Japanese boss from time to time a...
