An astounding number of searches here at PhilFAQS, the site about really living in the Philippines, revolve around jobs … especially jobs for foreigners. In general, these are hard to find. There are some available all the time through multi-national corporations and the US government (strange how many people say they want a job but [...]

Writing yourself a check and other Philippine Money and Philippine [...]
Philippine Maps Just Got a Whole Lot Better
One of the things that has troubled me for years about living in the Philippines, learning about living in the Philippines, helping people move to the Philippines, etc., has been the near complete lack of decent digital maps for the Philippines. It’s very hard to “point” someone to any kind of digital map online, and [...]
Free Skills to Become Successful in the Philippines
I received feedback from some readers that indicated these posts on making a living in the Philippines are not as popular as my simple, first-person accounts of just plain daily life here in Marilao, Bulacan, Philippines. So I certainly promise to focus in that direction in the coming year, but more than 70% of my [...]

Saving Energy for Practical People — Part 3
I wanted to start out today with an advertiser shout out for a couple of important sponsors here at www.philfaqs.com.

More importantly, they offer services and products that I think [...]
Saving Energy for Practical People — Part 2
I haven living with ADD (or ADHD) isn’t as easy as some people think … nor is living with an Internet Service Provider who thinks that providing little or no service 12 or 14 hours a day is acceptable. (I’d be totally up to speed if I get up at three am every day, the [...]
Watt Did He Say? He Said, "If You Aren’t Careful This Might Hertz"
OK, OK, I know, terrible pun, but it’s the start of my weekend, I’m feeling silly and besides, it’s all Ellen’s fault … I’m innocent, I swear. Faithful reader Ellen just left this comment: Already happened to me . Btw, have you experienced this difference in hz also – like 50 hz and 60 hz? [...]

My posting schedule on my usual living in the Philippines subjects has been a bit spares lately … in a few hours it should improve … like Major League baseball I have been on the All Star break, but the game kicks off, live, in just a couple minutes (8 am Philippine Time on Wednesday). [...]
Update On Cheap Phone Calls
A few weeks back I mentioned a number of ways to get yourself set up on line in the Philippines so that you could call the US or friends and family back home could call you for very little or even zero cost. One of the faithful here, Marshall who hails from California bought a [...]
Using the Phone
Using the phone? What kind of a subject is that, Dave? Well, number one perhaps a break from some of my over technical posts. Number two, I find it’s something a lot of people have a big problem with … especially calling the Philippines from overseas, which is what I’ll focus on here. What Time [...]
