Today is Saturday, August 7, 2010 and it is now 901AM here in the South Bronx, New York City, USA.
Recap: Talking about Western men bullshitting online with gullible Filipinas and a specific case in my village.
This entry: As I was saying, it goes both ways. Sometimes a transexual will post a photo, and develop an online relationship. Ladyboys as they are called in Thailand though now that phrase has made its way to the Philippines.
I love watching shows like the kind shown on National Geographic Channel? It's great that we have it in Manila, wish we could get it on Mindanao cable as well but...
On 1 show they were talking about "weird shit" and they were saying, in that deep faux King's English they like to use: "In Indonesia there are males, there are females, but unlike the rest of the world Indonesia also has 2 more genders..." I spit out my soup on that one. What kind of fucking nonsense are they on about?
According to them the Hindus on Bali have 2 additional genders. Seeing as how I have spent a significant amount of time there my "bullshit meter" redlined. However, sometimes we can be someplace our whole lives and not understand the small currents around us, so who can say?
In the Philippines, online, the more usual scenario is some woman claiming she is single when in reality she has a husband and 5 kids. Hahahaha, look at me? I got played like that IN PERSON (with Jackie) so imagine online? The thing though? Jackie was, as far as I can make out, sincere, just didn't want to let me know that part of her because she correctly surmised that I would have never have looked at her had I known she was still in her relationship with a baby several months old. With the internet though the women almost always do it for money.
The Western man thinks, well 200 US Dollars a month isn't much, send it to her and better her life, etc, but she is picking up that money and buying her husband shit.
I was gonna open a private detective type thing, investigating women for internet casanovas, and in fact some smart expats already run a couple of companies like that but in the end I make enough money, travel too much as it is, so why bother? A part of me would find it exciting to wreck some lives while doing some good for the men being played.
Then I began reading these mens' stories and sadly, I felt they needed to be robbed as stupid as they were. You have enough money to support some woman you have never met but can't get your white ass on a plane and see her in the flesh? Though, in fairness, even that is no guarantee as to her character, etc. It is not as if her husband of BF will come to the airport with her.
My mind goes back to a case I often think about, Guillermo Sobero, a Peruvian/American from Corona, California. 38, on his 2nd marriage, and 3 kids from 2 months to 4 years old, he falls for some Filipina online.
The girl, Fe, worked in a gift shoppe at a resort called "Dos Palmas" at Honda Bay on the island of Palawan. Guillermo left his waterproofing business for a vacation, told his wife that he had to attend a seminar in Las Vegas, related to his work. He had a nice trip to Asia and ended up during that week proposing to 18 year old Fe.
For 2 years they kept it going online and he even told his wife it was over, though he didn't say why. In August of 2001 he flew to Palawan again, this time getting a room with Fe.
On Sunday, August 27th they were awakened by someone kicking in their door. Abu Sayyaf, a terrorist organisation had come calling. Making them get dressed, they made them walk out on the dock to a waiting cigarette boat, the super fast smuggling boats...
3 days later, having transferred to a fishing trawler they ended up on Basilan Island, a province of Mindanao. Guillermo was addicted to methadone and valium (diazepam) and began going into double withdrawal.
On Basilan the army was chasing them so they took cover in a hospital in Lamitan. Before the Abu Sayyaf and hostages escaped before dawn Guillermo was shot in the foot. So now here he is in fucked up condition from methadone and valium withdrawal and to boot, he has a bullet in his foot. Imagine?
Within 4 days they cut off his head, and the following week little Fe agreed to marry one of the terrorists, "marriage" consisting of her saying, "I am your wife" since the man was a Muslim. Life is funny.
Indeed, it was that whole episode, in which other female hostages became "brides" as well that almost caused me to kill 3 soldiers at a checkpoint on National Hiway 1 village south of us. It was late at night, they weren't in full uniform and Rizza was next to me. Imagine IF I had killed 3 soldiers for her? For what? Life IS funny for sure.
Anyway,so much bullshit online, I could never get into that online dating crap. There was a time though, when I came for my HCV (Hep-C) treatment, when a cousin asked me how he could meet a Filipina. I told him to get his lazy Jewish ass on a plane. He pressured me and after awhile I decided to get him off of my back by looking for a penpal to keep him occupied. Since Rizza and I were breaking up I didn't want to introduce him to a girl I actually knew, which would have meant someone in the village. I found him some penpal thing, can't even remember how. He was 21 so I guess it was his speed, I never followed up with him though.
Me? I don't know what I will do in that area myself, meaning women. I haven't touched Jackie since learning the truth. She swears she is so in love with me but then she swore many things, none of which turned out to be true. On the other hand, she has been consistent since moving to Quezon City.
I suppose all things considered, I have time to work that out but I am definitely not trying to complicate things by finding yet another woman...though...if I ever find that girl from the "Give It" video, by Out of Body Special (a Filipino funk fusion band), or that girl who worked the Wire Counter at Canadien[sic] Bank on Monviong Blvd.in Pnohm Pehn...or that teenaged girl at the bus terminal in Monkayo in ComVal Province...hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahah...go figure.
I tried getting a new doctor in Quezon City, to write for me? I discovered yet another reason to hate Americans but will save all that for the next entry.
