Locked Out Of Facebook

Besides it being boring around here, I have also been pretty lazy in making another post. The biggest issue going on right now is that I am totally locked out of Facebook. I have no idea why and I can’t get them at Facebook to give me a reason. I suspect that I have been hacked and someone else must have posted things not compatible with Facebook Community Standards. I’ve tried everything...

Our Not As Planned Trip – 2

So we’re stuck and in a situation that we either lose P10k ($200) or just take a short little trip for a couple of days. We decided to take the trip. Hopefully, things will work out once we get back home moneywise. The trip out of the country we had to take last month and the trip this month was just too much for our budget. If I would have anticipated this dilemma faster, we could have avoided...

Our Not As Planned Trip – 1

Everyone knows that sometimes things just don’t go as planned. My wife and I just experienced one of those things on our recent trip to Angeles City. I’d like to tell you some things about it. Most likely these things will not happen to you, but I need to do a blog post and it does have some interesting twists and turns. First off the whole trip was going to be for only 4 days, 5 Nov to 9...

Our Balikbayan Journey 2019 – 3

My wife and I are on our annual balikbayan trip and we are in Singapore ready for the return flight. We were the first ones to the gate because we were there 4 hours early. Eventually, it got full around there and the flight even left about 15 minutes early. Our seats to Clark were the same seats we had going to Singapore. It was a different plane, but the same airline (AirAsia), just the same seats...

Our Balikbayan Journey 2019 – 2

So we are on our annual balikbayan trip, this year in Singapore. Since we still do not have much money, we decided to just stay at the airport for 24 hours, 45 minutes until our flight back. As far as airports go, it’s a nice place to stay. They have 24-hour restaurants, 24-hour money changers and even places to sleep. If you want to pay extra they have very nice accommodations to sleep and/or...

Our Balikbayan Journey 2019 – 1

On the afternoon of 9 Oct, around 2 pm, my wife and I took a Grand Tour van to Tacloban. We had an Air Asia flight the next morning at 8:45 am and we wanted to be sure we were there on time. We spent the night at the Go Hotel next to Robinson Mall. The price was P1975, but if I would have made the reservations online before arriving, it would have been around P1650. If there’s a next time,...

Balikbayan to Singapore 2019

Well, I finally got all the plans for our short balikbayan trip confirmed. Although I really wanted to go to Texas this year, it just could not happen. Next year, we’re going for sure positive. Maybe even stay a little bit longer than normal. Between our passport problem, our military ID problem and our low money problem, we just couldn’t make it this year. I have not even told my parents...

AdSense Computer Trip

Weird things are happening with the AdSense on my blogs. It says my earnings are at risk and they said “to avoid severe risk of revenue” I should use their option to fix the problem. I don’t understand the fix. Anyone have an idea of what a “root level domain” is, how to get to it and what kind of “ads.txt file” it’s talking about that I should add...

Possible Infection Follow Up

Posted by UJ on 12 12 19 in Stories | 2 comments

It seems that the medication I was provided did the job it was supposed to. The leg was infected, but the pills given me took care of it. It took a week, but on the day I took my last pill, 25 Dec, the infection...
