Bored?  Start a hobby!

Painting – Arts&Crafts stores in the larger cities have supplies

Photography

Video – learn how to edit video – Microsoft Movie Maker is free!

Woodwork – basic wood stock is widely available. Medium quality hand tools aren’t hard to find. Basic power tools abound in Quiapo/Binondo/Raon.

Metalwork/Welding – as above

Electronics – basic parts are available. Raon is a good place to shop.

Computer Programming – get a tutor from a college, or take a course at a computer school. If anyone wants some guidance as to what to learn I am happy to help

Mosaics / Stained Glass - ??

Raising pedigree dogs/cats - ??

 

What else?  What is your hobby?

If this is correct please post a link!  They no longer publish it so if you don't have it now, you can't get it!  I used to use it and like it, but no more.  :Mad:

While it has been withdrawn you can still download (works with Windows 10 as well)

I forget the website where I got it (late last year) but try

https://windows-movie-maker-vista.en.softonic.com/

or

https://www.windows-movie-maker.org/

Oh yes, one here in the UK and one in the Philippines. I should be easy to spot as probably the only person riding around Bataan with a helmet. A neice got a free helmet when she bought a scooter, never wears it, too hot.

Thanks so much for this!  I downloaded it from the second link and it seems to be working fine!

When I replaced my desktop with a new Windows 10 laptop last May, I had looked all over for Movie Maker because I was used to using it, but I didn't find anything back then.

I find it very easy to use compared to a few others I looked at to replace it.  Mainly I trim and splice, and the others seemed complicated to splice with.
