re: Me and My Family
Greetings,
Thanks for your kind words. It fair to say that this would not have got this far without your interest and comments. I know it may read like a soap opera sometimes, but I guess that's life in reality. For me however, its a place I can go and share my travails. But I have readers here who I can call as friends....but sadly may never meet. But I value your friendship nonetheless.
She has asked again for me to be a guarantor for a bank loan. This time for 300k. I gave a non-committal response. But if she presses, it will be a no. This is her cunning plan which has no economic foundation. I mentioned previously that if she pays up front for merchandise and the customer opts for a 3 month layaway then she will get the layaway premium. Example. Item costs 10k for cash or 12k layaway. She pays 10k upfront and collects the extra 2k if on layaway. Nice profit if she pays only 8k for the item. She wants 300k so she will have the capital to buy up front. I worked out quickly that at 14% (it should be 14.4%) she would have to pay about 5/6k per month repayment over 5 yrs. According to her, she can repay that out of her monthly 8k allowance. Which I know she cannot. But realistically, I doubt if she will have 30 x customers at 10k. I would expect maybe 10 at 10k each. The layaway profit from that would be 10 x 2k equaling 20k and that profit spread over 3 months barely covers the bank repayments. But I have a cunning plan .....which will go down like a lead ballon. She pawns her gold on which she will only pay 3% interest per month. Use the capital (no idea what that is but I suspect about 50-60k) and uses that as capital. She will have to pay interest of 1.5k per month on 50k but her profit from that would be about 3.3k per month. Gross 1.8k. Not a lot....but from acorns, oak trees grow. She has some money stashed about also. No idea how much.
Still no mention of the trip to hell. Maybe they have gone.
Regards

re: Me and My Family
Has your good lady thought of doing catalogue sales. There is a girl in our village that works in her parents shop but has a pile of catalogues selling anything from cloths, make-up, tools, appliances, household things. My missus spends about P3,000 a month with her, orders something and then picks it up a couple of days later, most of the stuff seems quite good quality. I have no idea how the financials work but it must be quite a good business because she has a fairly new car ( which is not common here ), always looks smart.

re: Me and My Family
Stokkevn,
Yep...she is already doing that. I have 3 catalogues on my desk including Avon. She doesn't go around door to door but appears to rely on word of mouth. She is also selling bathroom cosmetics including facials creams and the rest from the US. Our house is looking like a Sari Sari store. Dried fish does not appear to be selling too well. She appears to be eating a lot of it and it stinks the place out when she cooks it. She certainly is trying to give everything a try. Hats off to her for that. Jewelry appears to be drying up and we don't make the twice daily visit to Palawan (sp?) as we used to. Maybe once every second day. Pawnshop receipts which I outlined a few weeks ago seems to have stopped. But I admire her tenacity in trying to make money. We went to Palawan this evening and mentioned to me that they were selling a load of jewelry off cheap. I smiled sweetly. As you do.

re: Me and My Family
Greetings!
We went for our usual beach walk yesterday morning and as I minced past her families house, I noticed that her mother and father was not at home. Joy of joys I thought....they have gone on the trip to hell without us. Sadly, that thought was short lived. They were there when we went for our evening stroll to the beach.
Hate to disappoint you Millhouse, but I cannot see me going. Or I hope not. Just hope she does not start packing one evening and then announcing that we leave at 2.00am or whatever. But in the past she does take note when I put my foot firmly down. Normally I give her a free reign over what we do but there are boundaries which she respects. Normally that is.
There are various reasons why I do not want to go such as being treated like a dog, Jollibees and pure boredom. If it was someone I knew who had died then I would most certainly go out of respect. But here is another reason and this happened on our last foray with the family. Being treated like a dog is one thing....but being treated like a mushroom (kept in the dark and fed on manure) is another. This happened late last March when her youngest sister graduated from college. I was pleased to go and involved an overnight stop. She and I had a hotel booked. The graduation ceremony was carried out on an open field in the sun and commenced at 1.00pm I think. The first hour consisted of speeches and prayers and then the first of the graduates was invited to collect her graduation award. There were over 1900 graduates. It was a blazing hot day and I could not find solace in a watering hole. And believe me...I searched everywhere. Although consuming many litres of water and keeping in the shade, I was suffering from heat exhaustion. The last of the graduates collected their award at about 7.00pm. I needed to get back to the hotel into an air conditioned room after a shower and lay down. Ok, I would have visited the hotel bar after recovery for a few relaxing cold ones. Another hour passed with the usual selfies and then we were on our way. I told my lovely lady how I felt. And then the mushroom effect took place. Instead of going back to the hotel, we drove to a relatives house for a full blown dinner of the usual fish heads and rice. I was annoyed and also just about dead on my feet. I could not eat and stood outside trying to find a breath of air. I very nearly collapsed outside and they were all for taking me to hospital. That was the last thing I wanted. We were quickly taken back to the hotel where I was helped up to the room and had a long shower with gf waiting anxiously outside. Helped to the bed and lay under a/c and after an hour or so, I felt suitably recovered to find my way to the bar for a swift half. And then...you guessed it. The bar was closed.
I realized something was not right during the afternoon because I had stopped sweating despite drinking volumes of water. And I can say feeling the heat build up inside my body was not very pleasant. So....this experience has put me off any further extended trips with her family. And I will tell her so if she pushes me to go on this trip to hell.
1 Sep today....Merry Xmas!
Regards

re: Me and My Family
I've seen (and experienced this) in the desert here many times. The issue with heat exhaustion isn't just water, . In most cases people are drinking enough water the issue is the loss of salt. Doesn't matter how you get the salt... add it to the water, recovery drinks, crisps or even the fries at jollibees...

re: Me and My Family
Greetings,
Thanks for your responses. Yes, I should have remembered its a salt issue that causes these problems. When we go out for the day I am now taking with me a bottle of Gatorade. Not sure if that helps but its worth a try. I will skip Jollibees for the salt! I wonder if Red Horse beer has salt. But a few bottles of that tends to make me forget the problem.
Still no word of the trip to hell. I am cautiously thinking that the family has decided not to go. I suspect because I do not want to go, my lovely lady will not go either. She does not want to leave me alone for a few days in case I get up to mischief. Such as drinking Red Horse on the beach or running off with a 21 year old virgin. The 21 year olds are safe. But Red horse on the beach would not be safe. So, I have no idea what is happening there. Mushroom mode I guess.
Interestingly and maybe a coincidence, her mother has stopped doing our washing for the past 2 weeks. My lovely lady pays her 1k per month to do. But we still pay their rent and medicine at 5k per month. I would have thought with that financial assistance (not forgetting waddly woman of course who lives rent free etc....and owes 7k and her father owes 1.5k) her family would at least help my lovely lady out with the washing. I do find it annoying. All take...and no giving.
And now for some more of what I think is silliness.
My lovely lady has a friend and good customer in Aussie land. She is Filipino married to an Aussie. They have a 3 month old baby that is breast fed. This baby is a bit difficult to get to sleep (really?) so she has been giving the baby vitamins to help it sleep (?!). They have run out of these vitamins whatever they are, and she cannot get a supply in the whole of Aussie Land. (really?). So naturally thinking that the Metropolis will have some has asked for a supply from here. The local Glades Pharmacy does not stock said vitamins and I suggested she tries the Generics Pharmacy. But no. Generic medicine is black magic medicine and will not be touched. I use it...and still here with a sane mind.....against tremendous odds I must add. So.....she wants to go to the nearest big city which is about a 3 - 4 hr round trip to see if they could be sourced there. I just smiled sweetly (as you do). I personally think this is all stuff and nonsense. I suspect the father has rightly banned the use of unprescribed vitamins so she is trying to get it on the side. Might be wrong. But I do despair sometimes at the stupidity of such goings on.
All for now. Need salt intake from the fridge.

re: Me and My Family
re the salt thing. Because I am of small build - OK a wrinkly dwarf - I suffer from lack of salt quickly. I now recognise the symptoms just as you described and find a glass or two of water with maybe a quarter spoon of salt soon helps. Just enough salt to taste it but not enough to make you puke! alternatively I bung a small amount of salt into my coffee. An interesting aside - back in 1952 I was living in Gibraltar - Dad was in the RAF - and everyday at school we had mugs of water at break plus a salt tablet. The teachers used to watch and make sure you took the tablet. It was very small, like an aspirin and if you swallowed it, then OK , but if you kept it in your mouth UGH! you soon learnt to just down it.

re: Me and My Family
I am sure you are right Pollyana. I do not see Aussie Land any different to the UK in that respect for instance. I reckon the womans hubby has put his foot down and she wants to smuggle some in the next consignment of jewelry.
Which reminds me. My lovely ladies father has maintenance medicine for BP and Cholesterol and it costs just over 2k per month. I provide that through my lovely ladies allowance but I give 3k instead of 2k. I assumed she would just hand over the 2k+ on production of the receipt. But instead there is some sort of credit arrangement at the Glades Pharmacy where I thought her father just saunters in and obtains his drugs. But her family seems to have taken advantage of our generosity and takes whatever is needed and my lovely lady just picks up the tab. The tab has been rising over the last few months and she got a bill for 3.5k on her last visit. Although she said nothing to me when she saw the bill but her face said everything. I think they are taking advantage of us. Not for the first time.

re: Me and My Family
tTrue Millhouse. I found out quickly that Filipinas verge on being hypochondriacs. A snotty nose, cough, etc needs immediate attention and medication. Blood from a small nick will require bandages....and I could go on. Fever is the best one. A small raise in temperate means the fever. When I ask what has caused this "fever" they don't know. But its fever and for kids its a few days off school when they can run around playing with their mates outside. Or still be well enough to pull legs off spiders, or insert sticks up the back-sides of unfortunate flying insects. Do I have sympathy?
