Flooding in Manila
- Thread starter rayjay
- Start date
I am also heading to Manila 1 week from today. My thoughts and prayers have been and are with the people of the Philippines and especially to those who live in or who have family or friends that are living in Manila.
No worries, my Bautista cue stayed dry! They know what to take care of.
Hows the other Ph Tony Bautista? Have you tried shooting it already?
Welcome to the Philippines sir, Are you here for business or fun? Maybe you will be watching the Yalin World Women championship? Well if yes see you then
Yep I like it too. Been playing some Banks with Dennis (he's in residence here for the last month) and generally having fun hanging with him. He likes to cook and kick my ass playing pool. I fooled him yesterday and won a set of Banks. FINALLY!!
I'm helping him prepare for his big match next week with Shane in Vegas. I think he'll be well prepared for this match, thanks to defacto coach Jay. Wish I could be there to watch it. On the 18th I'm en route to visit you.
Sounds like you guys got a pretty good bromance going on Jay. I'm happy you found someone.

Dont count on it. Japan who is broker than us just about always outspends us on disasters in ACTUAL dollars not per capita. We are not among the top givers per capita for the most part either.
How much money did you send?
I have sent many THOUSANDS just in the last year to people in need right here in the US and i dont cheat on my taxes either.
Good for you. I send money too and I always feel good about helping those who need it most. I even give the homeless folks on the side of the road a buck or two when I have it. From time to time I will bag up some old clothes and hand it to them at the stop light. I think this is much better then giving it to the Good Will who shreads it up and sells it by the pound as bulk material. Used clothes should go to the people on the streets who need it. I used to donate to the Good Will and get all excited about the tax write off. But they are the biggest scammers out there. I think I will send someone some money today.
Dennis is a good roommate, quiet as a mouse, cleans up after himself and likes to cook! What more could you ask for? As long as you don't mind the sound of pool balls clicking night and day :wink:. And I don't! I can sleep to that sound.
I did not know this about Good Will, I drop things off a few times a year outside their drop off door whether it be clothes, toys and other things we have outgrown or do not use anymore. I will have to research a bit about Good Will to find out what your talking about.
definitely keeping those people in my prayers
Business...but hopefully it will be fun too! Yes, I am going for the Yalin Women's World 10 Ball as OB Cues is a presenting sponsor and the official cue of the tournament. Maybe I will see you there?
Please do and let me know what you find out. I'd be curious.. I was explained how it works by someone who runs a non profit org. Clothing items are funny because there are actually some people who turn in trash and nasty dirty clothing. Most places take in donated items and sell the quality items in retail centers and sell the rest as bulk. None of them wash / sanitize / dry the clothing. So I'd prefer to see the smile on a homeless persons face when I hand them a bag full of items.
