  1. Learn/experience scuba diving before you hit 45.

    People from all over the world come to the Philippines because of our rich marine life. Experience it while you can.

     

    For those who have tight budget, snorkeling is also fun.

  2. Mad Damien is right

    1) Men can't keep secrets.

    In addition to that:

    2) Most women bodies start producing large amounts of testosterone when their age is over 25 years old. And overproduction of testosterone makes their behavior undesirable to their husbands.

    3) As men ages, his testosterone level lowers, he become more mature and that makes him more attractive to younger women.

  4. I think there are two things to be considered in this discussion:

     

    1. The past is an indication of what the future may be;

     

    2. There is a possibility of change in every human person.

     

    I believe in both. The question now is, how to balance both of these...

     

    My most recent ex is a good example. She had so many failed relationships. She had several sexual partners because of these relationships. (That's her explanation. I am not even sure of the sexual relationships she has had because of pure sexual desire.) She is a self-professed hopeless romantic, and, according to her own acceptance, "madali siyang ma-inlove." She admits that her failed relationships are due "to her own fault." She has two kids from two different guys already.

     

    From my initial assessment of her, she's a complete failure in my book. She doesn't even deserve to be given a chance, at least for me.

     

    BUT, I did give her a chance. Perhaps, I was rather foolish to have done so, breaking my own initial major premises.

     

    We stayed on for more than a year. That was something she felt happy about. According to her, I held the longest record among her bfs. She had wanted to bring it to a higher plane, i.e., discuss plans of settling down. But I held back because I felt, she needed to undergo further testing.

     

    And this was the test. (I actually shared this in some past threads.) She left for an overseas employment which was to last two years. Before she left, I told her we will discuss matters after she returns from her two year stint. If she can remain steadfast and faithful in her two years of living abroad, I would most willing concretely discuss matters with her.

     

    She didn't last for more than three months. She started seeing a middle eastern guy that early. Even in a rather restrictive middle eastern situation, they were checking in hotels and were screwing each other. She denied everything, and made all sorts of alibi why her attitude was changing. I'm glad I found out her escapades early, so I knew she was lying to me.

     

    There you have it. A typical example of "a trend" of someone with a past. Notwithstanding, I gave her the chance of proving people can change. Yes, there are people who do change, and I thought, she could be one of them.

     

    Unfortunately, that wasn't her case. :(

    You want a girl to undergo 2 years without sex? That is a recipe for myoma, which would later lead to tumor/cancer.

  5. guys i'm from manila, any idea about the budget, place for scuba diving? how much it cost you for training and how long? Thanks in advance

    Budget:

    10 to 25k depending on the time of the year, diving school, and instructor.

    Right now, it is off season, some dive schools are offering discounts.

    Resort based schools tend to be more expensive, but they are more convenient, and some have discounted hotel/diving packages.

    Make sure you are enrolling in a PADI accredited school. Check the instructor ID to make sure.

    Since you are based in Manila, there are dive schools in Manila that let you take the lecture classes in Manila (about 2 weeks) and let you do the required actual dive (about 4 or 5 dives) in Alinao or Cebu.

    Pinoy instructor tend to charge lower than caucasian instructor. There is also less language barrier specially if you are not good in english.

     

    Venue nearest Manila:

    Alinao, Batangas - lots of good dive spots accessible thru shore entry (hiring a boat could easily eats up your budget). But expect 1 more hour of travel time from Batangas city because of the narrow and winding provincial roads.

    While there are nice dive spots for wreak diving in Subic, I don't anymore recommend them because of low visibility and pollution (sewer from the city goes straight into Subic bay).

  6. According to a acquaintance . . . before he develop his line of hair products.

    DHT causes hair loss.

    If you wash your hair and shower two or more times a day, it will lower the level of DHT in your head.

    Any ideas?
