Robust is very potent. I took 2 of them and had been hard for 3 days. I should probably use just 1 or even half (that Swiss knife saw may come in handy). It was very embarrassing walking with a protruding member from heavy denim at that. I ... Read More

Mad at exchange rate shops that they have a majorly lower rate for $20 pieces. The rate for $100 bill is 58.7 but since crazy ATMs near me dispense only $20 bucks, I was only offered 57.90. This was the highest I could get as others were ... Read More

Landline and Cell Phone by Enzyte Bob
I'm understanding you cannot call a landline using a cell phone in the Philippines. That doesn't make any sense.

My plan is 799 pesos per month with globe. It’s-a one year contract with unlimited calls and texts to all networks and landlines and 7 gigs internet each month. I stopped buying those scratch off cards a long time ago. I had to pay four ... Read More

I prefer tea over coffee. It invigorates me without the stomach upset that coffee brings. Also makes me ready for another round. :) Read More
