Expats in the Philippines needs good clothing. Large malls seem to know that. It seems they know exactly what an Expat in the Philippines needs: a good beer and a slogan to go with it (or said in another way: an excuse to drink the beer). When I was at SM a few days ago(…)
new trend in the Philippines
One of the latest NEW things I am noticing lately as an Expat in the Philippines is funny stickers on cars. The stickers are transparent with white printed characters on it. The characters represent the owner of the car and his complete family including pets. And sometimes there are even the names of the family(…)
funny packing ideas for the Philippines
Knowing the Philippine behavior in copying a lot from other countries, it is just a matter of time when the Philippine establishments will have funny packing bags as well. As an expat, and living in the Philippines, people from all over the world send me emails containing pictures, stories jokes and more of that stuff.(…)
women trafficking
So you think you will dance? And they make a nice photo portfolio of you. They promised that you become a dancer or singer or even a model. Sometimes things are not what they seem. Men, women and children are trafficked – tricked, forced and exploited in the sex industry. Hundreds of thousands of young(…)
modern time requires modern lay-out
When I look at the Expat in the Philippines statistics I can see lots of interesting things about the visitors of this website. One of the things is what operating system they are using on their PC, and what browser they use. Other parts of the statistics show me the resolution of the screen they(…)
customer care and service in the Philippines
When an Expat in the Philippines needs to buy something he has to go to one of the many available shops or offices available in this country. When you need paint, you go to a paint shop, for food you go to the market or a supermarket and for a car you go to a(…)
public toilets in the Philippines
They call it CR or Comfort Room (I wonder why, because there is little comfortable in it), sometimes they also name it a Rest Room (I wonder why, because it sure is no place to rest a while), and in expensive malls they like to call it ‘Paid Lounge’ (although I do not think it(…)
conspiracy against baby boomers
I do not know if this only happens to Expats in the Philippines, but fortunately it is not our fault, it is a scheme! I am sure. A conspiracy threatens us and it happens here and now, in every place, and all the time! We, BABY BOOMERS, have to stop this immediately! Did you notice(…)
more funny t-shirts
I have published already a few posts about funny t-shirts available in the Philippines. Often certain logo’s of well-known companies are used to create a nice typical Philippine T-shirt. Copyrights in the Philippines seem not to exist. See the post: copyrights a farce in the Philippines. Other posts about funny t-shirts on this website are:(…)
efficiency in the Philippines
Efficiency in the Philippines sometimes is far from good. Sometimes even absurd but funny. Frequent readers of this website know that my wife Flor and I like to go to the market in Marikina, rather than visiting a locale market nearby. The prices are lower, choice is bigger (more stalls), and almost everything can be(…)
annulment in the Philippines
From time to time readers from this website ask me things about separation and annulment in the Philippines. Often they are foreigners wanting to get married to a Filipina who is separated from her husband, sometimes already for many years. The young couple likes to get married but according to Philippine law this is not(…)
nomophobia in the Philippines
Many Filipinos are afraid to get nomophobia these days. Modern times require modern utensils for daily use, and many of those modern utensils cannot be missed a single day once you are used to them. For this reason Nomophobia is the most feared phobia in the Philippines. But, you will ask me, where does the(…)
