We went for our nightly walk and ended up at Florentina's house. Fatima was supposed to pick up a fish but John John says the cat ate it.

To further express my dislike of the Chinese Communist Party and their lack of concern for the environment and their takeover of the entire West Philippine Sea, I've decided to purge my wardrobe of any and all clothing manufactured in China. I might not have anything to wear after this little silent protest.

I needed a haircut but the barber shop charges 80 Pesos and times are hard. No problem. Three Filipinas went to work on lowering my ears. The end result? OH YEAH, you're going to love it and Brad Pitt's gonna be some kind of jealous.

I keep getting spammed with bots in the comment section. The squirrels at YouTube can't seem to figure this out but they'll give me a LOW grade on rating my own videos?

Fatima advised the rice hopper was bone dry and that she needed to raid my emergency-typhoon-food-supply closet. I wasn't really cool with her breaking open my Doomsday Prepper bag of Dona Conchita rice but she wouldn't go away. I decided it was the perfect time to conduct a scientific experiment to determine our daily rice requirement. I'm not saying this is actually how much we eat here on the ranch. I'm just going to determine how long 20 kilos of rice remains in that hopper before it's all gone. Once the data is collected, I'll do a follow-up video to post the results of my research.

Today was the first day of the new school year. Maria is in the 1st Grade and Forrest G. attends Kindergarten. The children are growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday I was making bottles of milk and pushing them around in a stroller. Life is short, my friends. Make every day count.

Our free breakfast at The Hotel Elizabeth Cebu was absolutely DELICIOUS! The atmosphere is like fine dining in a gourmet restaurant. Our compliments to the chef.

Join us for an early-morning shopping trip here in the big city. We'll start off at our favorite vegetable stand and then head to the public market. Fatima and Kalamansi will carefully choose the best rice money can buy. The ladies will then load up a shopping cart full of supplies at our version of Walmart. I'll conclude the morning by taking Maria to get ice cream at 7-11. Life is good, my friends.

After buying food at Kawit Public Market, we loaded up on 2 motorbikes and rolled to the trailhead. Join us while we hike into Fatima's village from the west side of the sugar cane fields. While patrolling through mountainous jungle terrain, one of my Cheetahs had to take EVASIVE ACTION to avoid an AGGRESSIVE reptile! DISCLAIMER: Neither my Cheetah nor the reptile in question were injured during this encounter. The footage is being shown for educational purposes in case you're in the jungle and find yourself in a similar situation. Our patrol is armed with 5 kilos of rice, 4 kilos of pork, and 2 kilos of vegetables for family day in the village.

Last night it came a MONSOON rain to the point our roof developed a small leak. Flo wasn't so lucky. They lost 6 roosters and their garden. The good news? The Filipinas are enjoying DOUBLE-DEAD Exhibition-Rooster Soup for lunch and supper. I'd rather eat the LOW-BUDGET Carbonara that Kalamansi served me for breakfast than take a chance on them drowned roosters.

After almost 15 years of not wearing a watch (that actually works), I'm now back in time. Folks, I'm sporting a brand new Wise Hitman 66 Full Lume SPECIAL EDITION that's Made in Thailand! https://wisetimepiece.com/products/hitman-hit66-full-lume-special-edition?variant=45430850683184 Special thanks to my buddy who gave me this beautiful watch.

I got a steal on some name brand clothing at my secret shopping spot over in Thailand. Instead of just giving it to the ladies as pasalubong, I decided to hold an auction.

Secret Service agents can get their sunglasses back on but cannot holster a weapon under stress. That pretty much sums up my opinion of The Secret Service overall. They've got some very intelligent people working for them but few real warriors. If I were the President of the United States, I would want seasoned combat veterans standing around me. College graduates who merely practice and rehearse breaking-bad scenarios in training aren't prepared for real-world conflict. I'd disband The Secret Service and roll with a Company of U.S. Marines. College degrees, PowerPoint briefings, diversity, and fashion mean nothing once the bullets start flying.

Maria had an appointment in Cebu City at 1300 so we jumped on a southbound bus around 0600. It turned out to be a 14 hour adventure. Join me, Maria, and Kalamansi for a day trip down to Cebu City.
