      We have rehearsed various new shows for our visitors from all over the world and will surprise them with them.
      Chinese Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, is one of the most significant cultural celebrations observed by millions worldwide.
      In 2025, Chinese New Year begins on Wednesday, Jan. 29, with the Year of the Wood Snake lasting until Feb. 16, 2026. The celebration ends on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025, as February’s full moon, the “Snow Moon,” rises.
      2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake, the sixth animal on the 12-year cycle. The snake is meant to symbolize wisdom, growth and renewal. The snake can shed its skin, which shows transformation. This is said to make people with the Snake zodiac sign visionaries and good leaders.
      We wish everyone all over the world a contemplative and, above all, Happy Chinese New Year 2025.

    • I did the same to a Moonlight mamasan for similar reasons.
    • Wow, I am so glad my local bistro can still fly the Gay Pride Flag at the Gay Brunch.     😡😡😡 FUCK Trump !    He claims to be the GREATEST friend to Gays and Blacks  (another LIE) And he claims to "Back the Blue"  (another LIE)....we saw how that went with the J6 rioters. So far, ALL we've gotten from him is MORE LIES.......   Good going MAGA, ya happy ?
    • Today I saw a foreigner spit at a song tow driver. I don’t know what the issue was. The driver drove off in front of central festival on beach road.
    • Sounds like Thai Immigration may be copying the Digital Arrival Card which Malaysia now requires of international visitors.  With the Malaysian DAC, visitors must fill out an online application within 3 days prior to arrival & then wait (24+ hrs in my case) to print out the DAC.  I think it is possible to fill it out the application in the Kuala Lumpur airport before queuing up for Immigration.
    • Day 14 (11 January 2025). I am a BIG time user of the UK Skrill prepaid card  – since like 10 years already.  I love their top-up options and it has worked very well for me wherever life sends me.  Well, during this trip I was frauded by someone who was able to use my Skrill card in Dubai on some transactions before both myself (freeze my card) and the Skrill team were able to intervene (inactivate).  I have no idea how my data was compromised, as I never use this card at the ATM and I only use it to book AirBnBs, airline tickets, and shopping. Consequently, the fraud investigation team requested that I complete a fraud case document – which I did this morning.  I was also required to complete a 6 hour antivirus scan of my laptop (which I will do tomorrow) and provide the results to Skrill.  So, this was my morning activity for today = yuck!!  I then had to research for an internet café, which Mr. B. helped me to locate one in the Ayala mall – but after an extensive search of the entire mall complex and asking various security guards – we discovered that the information that Google was presenting to us was old and such internet café was long gone.  In fact, I believe that internet cafés went the way of the Blockbuster video rental stores.  It was suggested to me that I go to a co-working space that are used by today’s Digital Nomads and I would find what I needed there (printer and scanner).  This would become my Monday 13 January’s project. I hate when these unfortunate life events happen but since one of the MAIN purposes of this trip is to discover if Cebu can be a proper retirement destination – it is good to have these kinds of problem solving tests. As Mr. B was free today during the day time, so I asked him to take me to the SINULOG parade route so that we could do a calm walking simulation.  The local TV and media are saying that up to 4 million people will invade the city to participate in the various SINULOG events and Mr. B, as he works in a hotel that will be FULLY booked for SINULOG, won’t be available on the parade day – so I will need to man-up and do it by myself.  We successfully walk most of the parade route – it was easy as it was a normal Saturday.  However, when we got to Colon street (at the bottom of the map), it became super packed with people.  They say that Colon street was the first street in Cebu when it was founded back in 1565, and is named after Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_Street To be honest, I found this street to not be very attractive, as it had the characteristics of a not well maintained street from the 1960s with lots of poor people milling around and you had to stay aware of pickpockets – as the intensity of the crowds in some parts was where people were almost on top of you.  We did not experience any danger or pickpocketing – but the hairs on the back of my neck did stand up.  I decided that on the actual SINULOG parade day that I would stay away from this area. Since we were near the ports, where the gazillions of boats depart for the many nearby islands (the Philippines is an archipelago made up of more than 7,000 islands), I asked Mr. B to take me to the departures terminals – because as a retiree with a lot of time on your hands you may one day want to jump over to one of these nearby islands. We were not allowed to venture into any of the departure terminals due to security restrictions - you can only enter with a ferry ticket in your hand - so no internal pictures. To find out more about departures, visit:   https://getbyferry.com/en/port/cebu No massages or extra-curricular activities today. Day 14 (11 January 2025) concluded.   Day 15 (12 January 2025) Lazy morning and somewhat horny, so I fire up the apps and I see in Grindr that there are many guys who ran in today’s early morning AIA Cebu Marathon. https://cebumarathon.com.ph/ A guy who flew to Cebu from Manila starts chatting with me and we agree to meet in the afternoon – as he tells me that he ran the 12km run which started at 4:30am and he needed to take a rest as his legs were cramping up.  That was perfect for me which allowed me to have my favorite salmon eggs benedict over at the Abaca Baking Company in the Ayala mall. Afternoon arrives and Mr. Jay shows up very athletic looking – a runner’s body.  He was a bit uptight so we went out on the balcony and chatted for a while about my trip to Cebu and he was very intrigued about my purpose to compare Cebu to Jomtien as a possible retirement destination for us elderly gays. Jay tells me about this acronym that I never heard of that Philippine people use to describe us from the west who visit the Philippines in search of a possible partner – similar to how the Thais use the word “farang”.  This acronym is:  AFAM – “A Foreigner Abiding in Manila”.  He explained to me that the use of this acronym originally started in Manila but is now used throughout the entire country. Furthermore, this phenomena has really taken off that over in Siargao, they changed the name of the existing Catangnan Bridge to now be “AFAM Bridge”, where you can find love (or a 1 night stand) with its sexy foreign visitors.  Mr. Jay told me that many young filippinos head to Siargao to find luck.  Sounds familiar to what we see in Thailand ? So, after Mr. Jay shared this AFAM Bridge with me I told him that it was time for us to have some AFAM fun and a huge smile came on his face and we moved to my bed for some “bridge” action.  This was a freeby meeting thanks to this AFAM phenomena – as I was Mr. Jay’s first farang (AFAM).  I was happy that I could help him to realize his dream.  By the way, he is quite talented in edging – so I was a very happy camper. I close out today’s forum update with this hot Youtube video of the HOT foreigners (AFAM) who are having fun at the AFAM beach in Siargao.   Day 15 (12 January 2025) concluded.
