I was hoping to have a few stories for you but things have been a little boring since the rainy season started. And there’s another 2 months of rain.

You probably heard we had a typhoon a few weeks ago, we couldn’t leave the apartment for a few days, everything was flooded, a ferry with 800 people went down with families and many children on board, only 30 survivors they said… very sad...

The president blames the coast guard for allowing the ferry to sail while there was a typhoon. The ferry company would lose a lot of money if it the sailing was cancelled and probably paid the coast guard to allow it to sail which is normal practice here.

Adrian is arriving tonight. The stupid man arranged to see his former lover Mae when he got here. Mae has a new boy-friend and with him is going to Thailand tomorrow for a holiday. Adrian was going to spend the night with her, luckily his flight has been delayed for 5 hours and as he will arrive in Angeles after 2am, he had to cancel the rendevouz with Mae. I don’t think he’s going to recover from her, its been a long time and he still cant get her out of his mind...

End of Woes???

All is well here, just got back from holiday, spent 10 days on Boracay, a resort island about 200 miles from Manila, Nice break, no drinking or partying, just vegging out. I missed my girls though.

Adrian has broken up wih his girlfriend again, he has seen her a few times with another guy and is devastated, she won't come back this time which is a very lucky thing for Adrian. Time and the company of a few Philippine girls will hopefully help him recover.

Another girl has been brutally murdered by a German national, fortunately he did not manage to escape the country and has been jailed. The sad thing is if he has enough money he will be able to pay off her family and leave the country. Hard to imagine that the parents would take money but you have to remember this is a third world country and money buys you anything. I will keep you informed.
I haven’t seen my mother for 2 years and she’s driving me crazy to visit her, i will visit her this year so i wont be coming to Australia until next year, will you manage without my intellectual… conversation for another year? I do miss our long chats though….

Alone in Angeles

Me: It's really uncanny how the moments of departure and return roll in. I was a bit excited about my voyage to China, I suppose because it was not consciously planned. It just happened... How did Edelyn enjoy her visit to her parents? Actually I wondered why you did not join her... Though I remember your nightmare story about a trip you took to the Provinces with another companion...

Alberto: Sorry,sorry, sorry, I have been so lazy to email. You went to China? I’m so jealous; China is on my list of things to do in the next few years. Yes your right, my bad experience in the province a few years ago is part of the reason i didn’t go with Edelyn, also the thought of being alone for a week in Angeles.

I had a good time while she was away, I did some planning before Edelyn left so I was well organized, I indulged with a total of six girls, variety of ages, shapes and sizes, one of the girls was 7 months pregnant, this has been one of my fantasies and it was very enjoyable. I never took any of the girls to my apartment, always to a hotel, $6 for 3 hours. A few times I used the hotel twice in one day, I slept well on those days.

Since Edelyn has been back I indulge with other girls only 2 or 3 times a week so I have enough energy for Edelyn, it's a far cry from once or twice a year with Mary. I still can’t believe how my life changed so drastically in such a short period of time.

Adrian is doomed. His girlfriend is the worst type of girl you would want to be involved with, dishonest, unfaithful, manipulating, liar etc. etc. He’s besotted by her and although he knows he should unload her he is unable to. I’ve tried for a year to convince him to get rid of her and he has cast her off a few times but within a few days he’s begging her to return… pitiful sight. And each time she returns, her demands increase and are accepted. Nothing else I can do, I’m just going to sit back and watch his life unfold. I’ts a great shame because he’s a nice guy and there are so many girls after him…Love always…
Thank you very much for the photo and the GREAT UPDATE on your adventures in Paradise. Your back and knees must have healed and life is treating you well, you sound satisfied and content.

I am NOT SORRY for Adrian, often many of us get cought in senseless ruts where we become easy preys of unscrupulous characters. I fell into such trap myself once and I remember the pain... (quite interesting really)... Maybe pain is what masochists want, need and get addicted to... Only it should not last too long, like with a disease, the afflicted should seek and accept the cure...

China was just great, I travel budget and had a great experience, as a surprise to me (it should not have been) the Chinese were gracious, wonderfully hospitable and honest, I am sad the trip is over and I did not get to Beijing to see Tiannamen Square, The Forbidden City The Great Wall... But I saw a beautiful countryside, immense cities, fabulous monasteries...

Living not Dying

Hi Mirella,

not knowing were you want to live and not having any direction in life can become very depressing, I remember the feeling well during my last years in Australia. You are attached to your material belongings??? My first year here (although very enjoyable) also had many moments of depression, depression??? how could any healthy male become depressed living in a place like this you may ask?? Hard to explain...

For the first time since I was 21 I owned nothing, no business, car, house, furniture etc etc etc, only my clothes in a suitcase. I felt completely naked and vulnerable. Living in a hotel without even a cup or kettle to make a cup of tea. I think the most accurate way of describing the feelings I felt at that time would be to say " I felt like a looser" As time went by, common sense prevailed.

All my past possessions required a huge effort and cost to maintain, my car required me to work at least one day a week to maintain it and to make up the depreciation, 20% of my working life to own a car, RIDICULOUS. So consider what a house costs to maintain and the time it takes and the years of toil, 35 years of buying houses, furniture and trinkets just to show the world that I have climbed a few rungs up that ladder of success.

I look back at that time of my life and the only word that comes to mind is "PATHETIC". The only thing that I have to remind me of those days is an English carriage clock that is now worth $2,000, two weeks of toil to buy just to know what time it is when a $5 clock would do the same without having to polish or maintain it. Can you think of any other word than pathetic? I cant...

I’ve now become very comfortable with my suitcase. I look at so many people and wonder if they will ever realize that they should step off that ladder and start living not dying. I don’t want to look back on my life remembering the good times, I want to live them so my advice has to be "LIVE"

Like the Wind

I would like to be the wind
So that as you walked along the seashore
You could bare your breasts
And let me caress you
With my breath

Angeles re-boot

Hi Mirella, how was Canada? do you want to live there now? Everything is fine in Angeles. I am taking Edelyn to Hong Kong next week, We are staying 5 days and can't wait. There is a Disney World there, it should be a lot of fun!

Won’t be going out much the next few days because there’s a typhoon hanging around so the weather is terrible, a few Islands have been evacuated, we are in a safe area but it's very wet. I would not volunteer this information but you ask about A. as if you really cared... He and his girlfriend have broken up again, for the last time I hope, he is very unhappy at the moment, just yesterday he saw her with another guy...

There is a gorgeous girl in one of the bars I go to, iIhave known her for several months and always have a drink with her when I’m there, She always wanted me to have sex with her and I wanted her too, the only problem is she is a midget... A few days ago I had a few drinks with her and I was feeling a bit frisky so I took her to a discreet hotel for a few hours, I was surprised at how enjoyable it was. The only problem is my friends wont stop joking about it... hehehehe... I'm happy to entertain...
