    Only take out enough for the night, and keep only one card on you preferably not in your wallet but somewhere it won't show through your jeans or trousers.

    Basically just act like you would if you were somewhere a bit rough in the UK and you will almost always be fine.

    But as I said Rizza will take of you she will have your safety at the top of her mind always!

    Oh, I know I will be fine. Spent years going through a paranoid phase when I was into self protection and all the Martial Arts BS from back in the day. Not that a lot of that stuff isn't good, but I think it is not healthy to be on guard 24/7!

    Going nowhere near Manila, other than the airport so not too worried there either. Cebu is where I will be, and a week in Valencia, Bukidnon. And whatever else in Camiguin. Not exactly Jolo, so should be fine And when I am in Valencia, I will probabl be in the company of Rizza's father and two brothers. So they will know of any local dangers and I think everything will be fine. I won't be flashing the cash and Rizza has already asked me to save and not go spend, spend, spend So, no worries

    Actually my gf told me that if it wasn't OK with me I could just disregard the request.

    Oh by the way this morning she asked me if I could send her 8,500 PHP because she needs screen doors to prevent mosquitoes, flies and frogs (?) to sneak into the place.... but OK it is my fault, I told her that if she needed something she should ask me, i do not like the idea of her going to the pawn shop... so i guess the screen doors are more important than the Iphone.....

    I would wait until your visit, and if need be, then invest in that.....
    It seems to me that it is all getting, slightly, out of hand....

    Spoiling someone is good at times, but not all the time.

    The funny thing is that she mentioned the screen doors just after sending me a scan of her pap smear results. Is this just a coincidence or an encrypted message like "we do kayat at the Waterfront hotel and the kids are not bothered by flies at home"??????

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    they were able to stay alive without screen doors... why? because they keep it close

    pacific, please be careful. but if it keeps you happy... who am i to convince you otherwise.

    Yes, they keep it close but then it keeps warmth inside and she said aluminium screen doors are better and last longer than plywood.....

    Yes I know, she is smart and irresistible.... just as a reminder:

    just say no to all of the things they are asking and see what the reaction will be.... just an idea
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    Filipino's have very big extended families and if the word gets around that your an easy touch, you'll soon find that they'll be queuing up with their requests.

    Iain.
    Word Iain spot on as normal.

    If a flash phone is give it because its a hand me down.

    Last time i went we took the usual batch of 2nd hand phones. Some still quite flash two were very smart sonys neither lasted more than six months. Nokias, sonys, samsungs, possiblyu motorola all fairly easy to find a repair shop locally this smart iphone (a mate had a quote of 180 pounds for the screen recently) 60 odd quid for a battery which is sealed in the phone unlike most which you can swap your self. Ok someone in phill may do slightly cheaper but still expensive.

    Also iphones even though apple deny it seem to have had a few get very warm and cause damage in Europe let alone Phill

    Although Iphones and touchs are fun to use, for the above reasons i could never recomend either to anyone.

    Seriously consider if he should get what he wants not what you can provide.

    THe wifes young Bro and Sis might like the latest but still dead happy with quite flash but not brand shiny new as its still better than what they would have otherwise. Dont set the bar to high.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    You havent married her yet and it seems that she ask for so many things already what more she would ask once she carries your surname

    be careful
    There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
