Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

I'm in cebu and my condo has been shaking periodically throughout the day from the quake and aftershocks. My gf went to the market earlier and came literally running back shortly thereafter freaking out. Apparently rumors of tsunami waves coming at their backs spread quickly and there was chaos in the streets. I knew cebu city was protected from the giant bohol island close to the coast and a quick google showed the quake happened on the other side of the island (damn negros) so I said stfu and went back to sleep.

Please for the love of God go to Europe instead!!!!!

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

On another note im getting very close to the off, should be booking ticket today for 12th feb and sorting out my condo here getting deposit back etc..

Would really appreciate any gym recommendations around the Makati area if anyone knows any decent places or gyms to avoid, i'll be hitting the streets all next week but be great to have somewhere to aim for.

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

this may be a really dumb question since its called the world wide web, but i saw on drus angeles city blog he had to access his computer in the US to go to some web sites so if you want to go to like espn.com while over in PI or to letmewatchthis.ch to watch any tv show or movie for free online can you go there?

Not that I use a GYM but Fitness First is probably the biggest and depending on the membership you get, you can use it all the locations. I hear it is sort of over priced...2000-4000 pesos a month.

Depending on your condo, it may have a decent enough gym to satisfy your needs.

Where in Makati are you looking for a condo?

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

Do you know if Potlucker or Sockshare, will stream on your internet connection?

If so, you can go to Tubeplus or 1channel, for links to movies/shows.

Usually they have Potlucker or Sockshare links, so that's why I ask if you can stream those or not.

I am not exactly sure where I got a buddy there and he is taking me out for a few days with an agent he knows and for the most part trusts. So i'll see what takes my fancy. Yeah a gym in my building would be good but also like to join a gym somewhere else helps with motivation and for meeting new people.

ya geo go to 1channel (letmewatchthis.ch) and choose the putlocker or sockshare links

if they dont have those (which they should) you can also try daclips

so that works in PI?
