Left the US of A (shit for many reasons) for the first time and just got home. Got a nice little sinus infection. Pros: LDR wife and I worked on our winter house in the the Philippines and spent some time with the stepson having a blizzast playing hot wheels, catch, going to the zoos and swimming. Traditional meals and vibrant open air markets. Warm weather versus Midwest US crap winter. 40% cheaper than the USA on mostly.everything. Meeting her family and friends and having a 100+% good time. A quality vacation, enriched cultural experience, and family time before coming back home to work for another winter and landscaping season. Cons: My hyperhidrosis went NUTS 24/7, Economy seating is insanely cramped and my legs and ass have never hurt so bad and mind needing serious adjusting and recovery, and several folks trash the planes and I feel horrible for the girls who are flight attendants who have to clean it and deal with it, crying babies for 14+ hours is NOT COOL. I was shocked by the amount of people and new faces and personalities I saw between USA and Middle East layover and it was cool to fly within a couple miles over the UK and Western Europe and Gaza and all that even if I couldn't see much. Also shocked by the common habits to litter in the Philippines. It got on my nerves a little that people just throw trash anywhere. But it's not so much my business, I can just set a good example for myself and my step son. My lady over there already knows the deal even if she is a native, she is good. Another note, saw a few fellow foreigners there amongst the local people, just a small handful though. Most were guys over age 50 or 60 having a young wife who wanted their money. Almost every girl was giving me the dumbfounded stare, as they weren't used to seeing a somewhat younger American there with a Filipina, nor were they used to seeing my 6'3 tall ass or the fact that I let my lady control and hold the money which she did so well and respectfully. |

They also weren't used to seeing a man help carry so many things usually the woman there does so much. Anyways, got some great captures and memories and stories, glad to have been out of this aggressive nonsense fast paced country for a little bit and help get our house further ready and get her visa requirements up to date for coming here next year and making our marriage and side by side ness permanent. I really loved the fact that everyone there owns a motorbike and is so mild mannered. And that food there is so delicious and not packed with preservatives. The showering and toilet methods were also not what I'm used to buy no big deal! :D Cool to be home in the cold Midwest winter, still gonna use my motorbike throughout the winter, way more fun than a car, even if it gets below freezing. Idk how to draw inspiration from this to make electronic music but I'm sure it will hit sooner or later. Mind is more geared towards getting work done in the recent years and family goals and my own health and comforts as I get into my mid 30s. The party is still on. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 was great for the 35 hours of travel time each way and while we painted the house and later flooring. The Aphex spirit was strong! |

Qatar International Airport in nice AF by the way. Watched the Matrix and Space Jam in flight. I really miss the food in the Philippines and open air markets and the agricultural region (Del Monte farms) was HUGE and AWESOME! Addicted to several recipes I've been making at home now too. |

I'm not rich by any means, in fact still considered lower middle class in regards to my income, which many people there did not seem to understand and pressuring me for higher prices on things and donations. I spent a few thousand making sure we had comforts and fun and some spoils and necessity for now that Im home. Feelsgoodman. Need to try to afford business class next time I fly cause that economy seating really sucked I can't stress it enough. Suppose I deserved a little torture for my past 🙄😆 Also got to see my first bootleg DVDs which were HILARIOUSLY titled by the way. |

Maybe we will gonna follow Aphex track title advice and Make A Baby five years from now, but we're not in a rush. Bigger fish to fry/taking care of us/what's already here. Another side note, her sister's guy friend had a badass motor transport sidecar we got to ride in that had a subwoofer wall in the back a very cool 1200 Watts that put out some insane pressure! Lanzones are delicious and so are rambutan fruits. I brought home some seeds but unfortunately can't grow them here as they need a hardiness zone 10 or more. That would be down in the Everglades of Florida and Baja region of California, and southwards to Mexico and latin America. The Midwest cold could not hand growing such a delicious fruit bearing tree. But I've got some seeds so thats cool! |
