Rustan's in Makati has a luxury bedding line. ShoeMart (SM) is much cheaper, but not bad if you pick pure cotton, 600 thread count. I've bought from both, but I prefer Rustan's.

In my experience, the best audiophile stores are in Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong. There's also a small one on the top floor of Power Plant Mall in Makati.
Ah yes, the husky cacophony.
New Yorker here, living in the Philippines for 2.5 years now. I get how you feel about the art and museum side. I actually like Manila quite a bit, though I'm in Leyte right now. But I'm not so sure there'd be drawing classes with nude models in, say, Tennessee.. I'd think you kind of have to go to the cities for that. If you're not a city person, I guess you have to make do with what the provinces offer, whether it's culture, vets or anything else. Life is just full of trade-offs.
I don't get why you'd leave the US if the NFL (a game) matters that much. There's so much more to do in life than sitting in front of a propaganda machine soaking up whatever the world wants you to care about.
Tick. Tick. Boom!

WHERE IS THAT




Interesting post. Just drop the values bit at the end. One-night stand vs. the long haul? Seriously? Petty and patronizing?
But most importantly, in the end they were able to talk it out, and that's what it's really about -- human connection, and other people completely wasting your damn time.
Who cares? We're all either on a tourist visa or a retirement/marriage visa
240k for a nice computer??? Dude, that's top-of-the-line pricing. No need for that. Get a rain jacket; you don't need rain protection. Just stay home when it rains and wear the jacket when you're out. The Honda Click is a nice safe choice. There's no need for a big bike except for looks, unless you're doing long trips. Don't buy a car unless you have kids. Don't buy a lot or land unless you're married and plan to spend most of the rest of your life here. Unless you're over 60, just stay the same, sit back, save, and let compound interest do its thing.
The Fox and the Hound.
Not sure what the barangay can do about this. Talk to your power supplier. Then put in solar if you can afford it. We did. Last month's bill was 176 pesos.
Yogurt, cheese and fresh milk at reasonable prices.
I think the best part might be the attempt to save the phone that sends it right back into the water 😂
There are several fairly strong typhoons in the Pacific. That could be behind the turbulence.


Mow's and 70's Bistro in Quezon City, and Mang Rudy's and SaGuijo in Makati, are great spots in the Metro.
It's the Higantes Festival in the Philippines They're just faking the fall to entertain and surprise the crowd.
Brother, live your best life. You only get one, so enjoy it. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
There's no guarantee it stays up. Even with fiber, the local distribution cabinets need power. If they're out, so is your internet. That said, when home internet dies you can almost always connect through a hotspot. I keep a dual-SIM hotspot phone with Globe and Smart for exactly that. Globe has occasionally dropped during a brownout, but I've never had both carriers go down at once.
