Coun to 10 and get XYZ. Very frustrating Jack, but doubt it will change. Good business skills by the locals if they're paid by the hour. My main gripe is when you ask for something and they say 'Yes Sir' then you don't get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Ok well everything was going ok today until 2 pm when I had to go to town.When I was ready to leave there was a parade,right in the middle of rush hour, so all the traffic was held up.

sonjack2847 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Ok my past week.I am putting it here as it has 1 moan in it and that is directed at myself. The apartment we live along with the one next door were up for sale.We were interested so asked,answer sorry not for sale now.OK so we buy a lot up the road and it was a good deal.Our neighbour,who used to live by my wifes parents in Cebu,asked us if we were buying Sim told him no they are no longer for sale.He told her well we all want you to stay here so if they don`t sell to you then I will deny them access.I am not sure I want to be involved with that but what a nice way to put we like you. I was in a store in the market this morning,where I go for a coke after the gym,I wanted 10 packs of ciggies well he gives me 11 and the coke and only charges me for 10 and a coke.I inquired and he said that pack is for free.MMMM. My furniture was delivered on Monday and yesterday I got to task putting it in place and modifying it to accommodate cables etc.So that was going well. Now for the moan. Somehow the lens from my reading glasses fell out and I could not find it.I had to load the TV using a card which you have to tex the number from to GSAT to activate you subscription.So with one eye closed,because of 1 lens in glasses, I tried to load the TV. Well it didn`t happen so after an hour I am getting miffed.So I read the tex with my good glasses and low and behold I had put a wrong digit for our number.So somebody has been loaded with my 500 peso load and I have no way of recovering it.Had I not been so lazy I could have saved my trip to town in the rush hour and 500 peso. Still the wife is back on Sunday maybe things will get back to normal then. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Peterson Posted December 11, 2017 Author Posted December 11, 2017 For Today! My whinge this morning is Broken Glass on the Road. I walked one of the Dogs a while ago and picked up a Plastic bag as we walked, whilst out I started to pick up pieces of Broken Glass, 1/4 of a carrier bag in the end, Now OK I know it happens but do people realize here than many of the Kids do not always wear their slippers? Walking animals love to scratch at the dirt roads, Luckily for my Dogs I tend to look out for any Glass laying in the road and either put it on the side or as today in a bag and discard it at home or a waste bin ( Now there is a Thought) Jack Morning All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 OK my turn to whinge. A few months back they put in speed humps and Stop for pedestrian signs throughout the IT park but rarely does anyone stop and if they do and you start crossing the road someone else comes along side the stopped vehicle with no intention of stopping just when you're at the point of being in their path. Traffic enforcers just watch and nothing is done so why waste the money putting up signs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
