The house we're building in Taytay Rizal should be move-in ready before Thanksgiving Day. I plan to purchase a streaming device for three of my TVS. I'm currently using an old Xiaomi TV Stick.
I like the one-time purchase streaming device rather than pay for a monthly service other than my VPN.
Recommendation?
I can switch my sim to Tello and make calls to US area codes, but how do I send and receive text messages?
This was a made-for-TV, science fiction movie starring an Asian female; very brave, not caried away by emotions. I don't remember much about it other than there was a creature similar to "Alien" she killed with a sword at the end of the film. It may have been shown on TV during the 80 or early 90s.
(I could be confusing this scene with another movie, but in one scene this Asian heroine was picked up by the authorities and handcuffed with her hands behind her back. As she sat at a table being questioned, at least twice she calmly placed her freed hands and the handcuffs on the table.)
Good day fellow expats and friends. I visited my local Philippine post office to mail the SSA-7162-OCR-SM form I received from the US social security office. To my surprise, the clerk at the post office informed me that neither their office nor any Philippines post office would mail any document sent to the United States. The clerk advised me to contact the Embassy, which I have done. The 60-day clock is ticking on me getting this completed form to SSA. How have you fellow social security recipient worked around this problem?
My wife and I had our interview in Manila at the Bureau of Immigration in early February, 2026. We were asked to submit additional items (a wedding photo and a barangay clearance). We did so immediately.
Now I received an email (below) dated June 23, 2026 asking for yet another item. Can anyone advise me on exactly what it is they need? Thank you.
