Living in the Philippines

Slow Internet connections where I live are making running an online business very difficult in Sindangan and the situation is only getting worse. Smart the ISP recognises there is a problem, which degrades the service and they cannot maintain the bandwidth. A friend of ours runs an Internet Cafe and of course is as lo effected badly.

Yesterday we travelled to Dipolog to check on progress of our new house and it seems it will be completed next month so we took the opportunity to search for appliances and furnishing as there are a number of special; offers been run by stores.

We had been recommended to go to one store Better Living, as the local Branch in Sindangan said they had a larger stock, however it turned out they would only give 5% discount for cash. I found this amazing as we were prepared to spend about half a million peso, but they would not shift. So we left and went to another store our friend recommended Emcor. Here the they could not be more obliging, and they did have in stock a Front Loading washing Machine which is very difficult to find in the southern Philippines. we in fact spent the whole afternoon with one member of their sales staff travelling around their various outlets picking the items we needed at 10% discount. We in fact made some very good saving compared to our budget which was based on manufactures recommended retail prices an in addition received a number of free gifts.

So when we have to purchase more items for our home in the Philippines guess where we are going to shop

Recently the local ATM have been offline for hours at a time die to a combination of brownouts, power cuts ISP failures or lack of money. On two occasions this has caught us out, once when getting our puppy Fred vaccinated by the visiting Vet, so we them a few days later with no problem. But it was a different story when wanting a bottle of Sprite from the local store, the owner wondering why a White person did not have money. It comes as a surprise to many Filipinoes to discover that white people are little different to them and can run short of cash. we are not banks after all.

Until the next Time

Do you experience mid-morning or mid-day slumps, when you feel your energy is low? Many people handle slumps by taking a coffee break and indulging in something sweet for an energy boost! If you skip snacking you may end up overeating at the next meal. Snacking may be okay, depending on what snack you choose.

Instead of those sweets that are usually low in nutrients and high in fats, try eating a combination of protein and complex carbohydrates. This can restore your energy and keep it high until your next meal. Try nuts with fruits or vegetables, milk or cheese with crackers, or cereal and milk. You can enjoy a Leanology shake or a chocolate soft chew that are excellent choices to help you in a slump! Pick a healthy snack replacement and get out of that slump!

Life In The Philippines

The Philippines was in the news recently as the Army stepped up its offensive in Mindaneao as a result of ambushes by Muslim militant groups in the Zamboanga Area. A full scale offence including helicopters and aircraft resulted in many thousands of innocent people having to flee their homes for safety just so the army can apprehend some 100 odd men.

Although we are not close to the area soldiers appeared in our town and a curfew is in force from 10PM as they try to stop the Muslim extremists from leaving the area. So it seems even living in Paradise can have it drawbacks.

Apart from this life pretty well goes on as normal and Christmas decorations are beginning to appear everywhere. yesterday I heard by first Christmas carol on the local radio, Jingle bells - hard to envisage snow here in the tropics, although a year or so ago I did see snow when I climbed Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia.

I have to travel to Dipolog tomorrow to get an Xray of a tooth I damaged when mountain biking, in preparation to have it crowned. The local Dentist does not have the facilities.

Until the next time
