    Hi Ack,hows life treating you?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    hi jimeve...a bag of cement is 230 pesos or about 5 USD...........construction is booming again......both residential and commercial........housing loans are at around 8% interest....the banks have money to lend.......and are looking for people to lend it to.....ha ha ha.....minimum wage is now 404 pesos per day, up from 382 pesos a few months back.......a few years back government removed taxation from minimum wage earners.....this would have increased consumption as taxes saved by minimum wage earners would definitely be spent.....beneficiaries of this would probably be the food sector.....oh well you just asked me about the bag of cement and here i go on and on...

    Hi Ackeeman, only just seen your post in my intro thread. Yeah, would be good to meet up at some point. My e-mail is: paulmn@blueyonder.co.uk

    Thanks for the tip on that place in the Ortigas Center. Will check it out.
