Stop. Smoking.

[mdk]

Candy cigarettes were made bone meal and despair. So horrid tasting.

 

[Corazon]

Never smoked in my whole life. I don't understand why some people now in 2020 still smoke.
Everybody knows nicotine kills.
Despite continuous anti-smoking advertising campaigns people still use cigarettes....that's unbelievable

Hello Corazon. Welcome to the Wonderful World of USMB.

My after hours Customer Service & Dispatch is located in Makati, Phil. since early 90s. After hours means 5pm to 5 am here in US including weekends. I speak fluent Tagalog but it took me about a year to get rid of my funny pronunciations. Philippines is a unique country compared to other countries.

I traveled from the northern tip Aparri ( China side) to the southern islands like Cebu, Bohol, Panay, Buracay Palawan in short visayan islands. But not in mindanao islands. I’m afraid of abu sayaf terrorist group.

It’s the only place in this wide world of planet earth that I need a bodyguards. It created a lot of attentions that I don’t need feeding and dragging them all over Philippines. These are active NBI agents equivalents to FBI and trained here in US making extra money. Kidnapping is very common in the Phil. especially for foreigners like me that has long interest in that country. McDonald’s, Kentucky FC, Subway or Donut shops etc etc etc has security armed guards. Mostly shotguns.

Smoking? I saw some old women only in northern part of the country especially in Cagayan and ilocos. Where they smoke cigarettes the wrong way. Filter is outside then the fire is inside their mouth.

Smoking in Casinos? if I stayed longer probably get second hand smoke COPD.

Filipinos and other Asians countries loves Karaoke. It’s very big in Asia. I mean BIG. I love to sing. It’s the only place on earth where I can live my dream as a singer in a stage for a couple of hours. That is cheaper than going to a casino. It’s very hard to get inserted in a line up because it’s where the local singers make their livelihood. So I bribe them and they let me sing as long as I want but no more than 2 hours.


I think it’s safe to share this story.

I’m very closely associated with the Marcos families especially with BongBong. I met the Marcoses family 2 weeks after they sent the dictator to Hawaii. My uncle house is next to the Marcoses house where they stayed. It’s those houses where theres no fence about 124 feet from wall to wall.
He successfully run for governor and senator. Then run for VP but loss. They cheated him. He was way ahead of the counts there was a glitch. When it came back he was behind. Similar happened to Morales of Bolivia but the other way. Morales was so behind then a glitch when it came back he won the election. Now he is wanted in Bolivia hiding in Argentina.


I was there in Phil. exactly the same time in March last year during dry seasons. Every chance I get I flew to Batac, ilocos Norte for 2 days to have fun with BongBong playing golf.

From there if I have a chance a short flight to Aparri ( northern tip) then to Buguey where I can go fishing using a net. Buckets of fresh water crabs and catfish. The best fishing experience I ever have even better than Alaskan fishing trip.

Kumusta charwin95!
I think maybe we're the only ones here who speak tagalog! It's relieving for me lol
Do you really manage a business in Makati? Wow! Yesterday I've spent almost all the afternoon at Ayala Center! (shopping time...)
Unfortunately you're right about kidnapping, here we have too many people who have been kidnapped. I think that maybe this crime has something to do with our laws...not harsh enough!
I have also never been in Mindanao! As you said that place is unsafe. There are many rebels (or terrorists I don't know how to call them...) and martial law was declared a few years ago!
Speaking of karaoke....well.....almost everybody loves karaoke here!
Personally I don't like it because I really really suck at it lol

Hello Corazon, Mabuti naman Okey lang. Ikaw. Kumusta ka? Ang negosyo ko ay medical instruments gamit sa hospital, labs and research. Located in San Diego southern Ca . My customer service & dispatch after hours is located in Makati.

It’s March panahon na ngayon nang manga at lanzones sa pilipinas. Ang sarap yan ang na miss miss ko sa Phil. former president Marcos ko na laman kung bakit bawal ang manga at lanzones dito sa America. It produced med fly. Malalaking langaw Hindi ko alam ang tagalog tawag sa ilocano dingraw.
Nag aaral ka pa? Ano ang trabaho mo? Yung picture mo bakit malabo?


How you like my Tagalog? It took me forever to write that bcoz of predictive text keep changing the words.

It’s March, season of mango and lanzones in the Phi. It’s very delicious and that what I missed in the Phil. It’s from former president Marcos I found out why Phil. mango and lanzones are not allowed here in US. It produces med fly when it rot. It’s a big flies that attack other agricultural products. I don’t know what they call in Tagalog but Ilocanos called it dingraw. But both fruits are available in Canada where the weather is cold.
Are you still in school or are you working? Your picture is blurry?


BTW I met Arnel Pineda of Journey before he became famous in one of the tourist resorts when his band was performing. I forgot what island in Visayas. He let me sang when they go on 15 minutes break.

Hi charwin95!
Your Tagalog is good, congrats! Way better than my English
I literally adore our mangoes (Carabao mangoes!) and lanzones too! I think we have the best mangoes ever made all over the world
I graduated from high school in 2017 and could not go to college/university because here it's really expensive...
I've worked since then but now I'm unemployed (and honestly I don't think I'm gonna find a job soon because now we have home quarantine here)
My picture...well a friend of mine took that picture of me...he told me it could have been a "creative photo"

Hello Corazon, How are you holding with the lock down in Manila? Your president Duterte is real tough. Ordered shoot to kill any Filipino or foreign violators.


After his term June 2022 they will arrest him because of his judicial killings unless his party will win the next presidential election. If he loses 10 to 1 he will flee to Russia or Hongkong. No extradition treaty. Duterte is trying to be a good friend of Putin.

Russian war ships are now in Philippines ports supplying arms at a very low cost away from US suppliers. First time in Philippine history. He cannot come here or he will get arrested and send back.
Ex president Arroyo Macapagal tried to flee to Hongkong but she was caught.
.

Hi charwin95! How you doing?
I'm doing fine here! I spend almost 23 hours per day surfing the web, reading, watching tv and listening to music lol
Our President seems to be a tough guy but he's just a good "actor". He watched too many Chuck Norris movies lol
Luckily as far as I know nobody was killed for being a quarantine violator (at least for now)
I've heard from the news that some Russian war ships are here....honestly I don't know the real reason.
Our journalists say they're here to help us fight coronavirus but maybe some scientists would be more useful than soldiers

I’m glad to hear that you are okay. Hopefully this will be over soon. We are in trouble here don’t know how to describe it but we never have this kind of crisis before. Long way to go before our government will open our system. Millions of Americans are out of work and loss a lot of money from stocks because of CV.

Yesterday me and my wife picked up her friend at Vannuys by Los Angeles area. i saw a very long lines of people for food blacks, whites, asians, hispanics and it was raining. I never imagine I will see something like that here in US.

We blamed our president but Trump supporters here are defending him at all cost. This is life here in USMB. That is how people feel not accepting defeat but not sure how/what in their real life. I have a very large pools of friends. It’s cracking. Most I know Trump supporters had enough loosing money from their retirement, people are getting sick, lies, stuck, life is becoming miserable.

Russian war ships are there to deliver arms negotiated since last year. Not sure about helping CV when they sailed to the Philippines months ago before this CV pandemic.
We Americans loss the role of world military power in last 3 years. Presences of US warships around the globe had decreased tremendously. China and Russia are both filling up the void thus creating influences. China is helping neighboring countries fight CV while we are struggling very badly trying to save ourselves. We used to do that roles helping countries around the world. Not anymore. ALL of that because of bad inept and amateur policy.

I'm sorry to hear that charwin95!
Here we have almost the same problems....I think that if nothing changes in the near future we're gonna face a new Great Depression all over the world (maybe something like the 1929 Great Depression)
But I want to be a little bit optimistic....I hope that at the end everything will be alright
(Happy easter! )

.

Marco's had an answer for that. He simply declared martial law and stayed in power for years after his last legal term had expired.
Back in the day elections in the Philippines were largly settled by who was left alive and still standing at the end an election by survival process.

Marcos was able to hold power that long because of his hold on military almost as a dictator for 20 years. At the end he was deposed because of people’s power headed by Corazon Aquino which became president. changed the presidential term to one time 6 years.

It will take Duterte more than 6 years to have that kind of power and bribes.
