Yeah - but I'm REALLY proud of my garden! Mind you, I almost drown when I turn the soil.Al's new house.....idiots left the tap running

Hi John. Basically, Hanna and I stay there because we have always stayed there. Very popular, very clean, nice rooftop bar with great food - inexpensive. Food served until 10.00p.m. - bar open all night if you want.
990Pesos for 24 hours - in other words you don't have to check out by a certain time - you check out per 24 hour period - if that makes sense.
You can get cheaper of course, but a tenner for a good room - cable, free telephone, aircon etc... well, put it this way, Hanna and I are more than happy with Fuente pension.
2 minute walk to Robinsons - 50P taxi ride to Ayala Mall - about 70P to SM Mall. About 250P (or less) from the airport.
Hope that helps you John.
God bless,
Al.

Well guys, it's a lovely, sunny Sunday morning here in Valencia.
I could not go on the 'Induction' on Friday due to the terrible rain here.
I phoned the school and they said - OK, be here at 8.00 a.m. Monday (Tomorrow) and you can start!!
Start??? What's the curriculum? What are their teaching policies? What about my work permit? My Visa runs out Tuesday!!! Still nowhere to live (although going to look at Tish's house later today (bless you again Tish))
Don't miss the next exciting instalment of - HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
P.S. Wasn't Pacman sensational?
Good luck MARK WEBBER - a fantastic second place on the grid.

Great news al, hope we see each other when we are in Cebu, do you still have same mobile number. Ricky and Ging
Prof Al,
to be honest,either its humor or true already
Alan,
I really wish Rochelyn was near you in Mactan as I would have no hesitation in paying for some extra hours English learning for her.
She could really do with some help as she is such a shy lady from the province and we have now made the decision to get her some lessons after we marry in August and whilst she applies and waits for her visa to be accepted.
The only problem is that she will live in Daanbantayan which is at the North end of Cebu Island. It is almost 4 hours by Ceres liner to get there from Cebu City and it is a small town.
She says there is a tutor up there so I will meet him soon and find out what he charges.
You sound like the perfect man to help her, I just wish she lived nearer to Mactan where you will work.
Yes Ricky - same cell number.
Al.
Jedc - neither can I all at once again yesterday.Prof Al,
to be honest,
A.
Apo, you are right - it is a great shame. I would love to help her with her English.Alan,

Thank you for thinking of me to teach her however - I am honoured.

Just a suggestion from a Londoner so treat it with the contempt it deserves
Can Mr Alan not help Rochelyn with her Englsih via the Telephone and MSN/yahoo im?
Most Phills i know write and read to a very good standard but speaking and understanding spoken English (the UK version anyway) is where they have difficulty once in Blighty.
Spoken English is also in many social and even many work situations far important to have a good understanding of in my Wifes experience at least.
Mr Alan could become the E English Teacher for those with loved ones in phill who need to develop, improve their English skills.
When my wife took her ilets exam it was hard to find decent online material (well four years ago it was) and that we did find was good for the exam but didn't prepare the Wife for slang and everyday terms we all use so much but rarely appear in any text books.
With a big downturn happening in the UK jobs will be hard to get hold of and those with poor English skills will not find it easy.

I appreciate this post mate - very much.
I shall do anything I can to help anyone with English (or maths, or French.)
Peanutz, if you are reading this - I know I have not got back to you yet - forgive me and please appreciate that I have been trying to find a job for myself - and somewhere to live. However, I am now 'partially settled' and will soon be in a position to do - 'E lessons.'
English 'A' Level - no problem - piece of cake - eat it - 'Marie Antoinette, 1789'
Maths - up to 'A' Level.
French - anything from beginner to Degree level - and conversation.
Keith - sorry if this sounds like an ad. for my services. IT IS!!!! Hope you allow it.

Hi Alan,
I am now back in Cebu with my sweetheart Rochelyn.
We are progressing with our marriage arrangements and hope to tie the knot late July/early August before going on our honeymoon, but onto a direct question:
If you are settled in September onwards, will you be in a position to teach English to Rochelyn?
I have asked Rochelyn if she would occasionally like to stay in Cebu and see you for these lessons.
Of course I undertsand you are busy with your new job and also house-hunting by the sounds of it.
If private lessons are still a possibility with you, I would like to pop over to Mactan to visit you soon to discuss this further.
Obviously, it would put both me and more importantly, Rochelyn's mind at ease with meeting someone new.
Please phone or text me on this Smart-buddy Phils phone number 09195399047 and I will phone back asap if you are interested.
If not please PM me
Thanks and best wishes,
aposhark

with a heart full of love, you will express your highest potential while also fulfilling your soul's deepest purpose:

No worries Prof Alan, when you are settled already and have more free time, just give me a shout!
I am interested, as I am going to pursue my study in higher level.
Hope you and Hannah are doing well.
Take care!

The pleasure is all mine sir.
It was a real effort and strugle to help the Wife develop her UK English skills when she was studying for her ILets. Which i recomend yet again any phill coming over who hopes to intergrate, work or study in the UK takes as it gives you both something to aim for and a good indication of the level of your English skills.
It helped my Wife get a job when she first came over as it showed she had a good enough level of english to perform the job. It also gave her confidence.
I know a lot of Phils take this exam for traveling to uk,aus,new zealand, canada, the us etc. Or very similar exams. So word of mouth could get you a lot of work which would be good news

Remeber Sir Alan of Oldham and Cebu us nerdy types will help however we can with any techy issues.
[QUOTE=andypaul;77618]Thanks again Andy. My hours of work mean that I am able to teach most afternoons and evenings after 3.00 p.m. and at weekends.
