The weekend is here.

I couldn't write this message this morning as I try to do each day, this is a 3rd world country so things like electricity, internet and other utilities don't always work all the time.

Yesterday (Friday) I looked at some more condos, a couple that I liked, I am waiting to hear from the owners.

Played badminton again last night, perspired like a pig as usual but it's good for me... so they say anyway !! Getting to more people which should help for the future. When I was having a shower there were 3 "nice" boys (if you know what I mean) singing karaoke in the changing rooms... not to me I may add..... but it was funny.... it can only happen in the Phils !!!
There are a lot of nice female players that may need my help with some coaching !!! maybe even some badminton too !! ;-)

I didn't get to sleep until 4.30pm this morning but was up and out at 10am, I am getting used to these strange hours. The strange thing is when it's late and you are watching TV or online you forget that you are in a foreign country, you could be in any room in the world.

The one thing that is annoying is the guys that accost me every day as I walk into town, they are the same people that I say NO to every time but they still insist on following me, trainers, watches, sunglasses etc, I always point to MY watch, MY sunglasses or MY trainers and say I HAVE better so GO AWAY. there is one guy that keeps offering me viagra, is it the grey hair that gives it away or what !!!! :-)) I keep telling him I don't need it but every day we go through the same routine.... is it that all of us white guys look the same therefore he doesn't realise that it is me (the same guy) every day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
