Manila craigslist

A text message exchange between myself and McCoco, an entrepreneur who has been running his business in the Philippines for four years now, and we have already been talking on a joint project (yay!)

CocoShell:
Do u know where we can find an inexpensive guitar or
keyboard to bring to the children's mission?
or a used one someone will part for cheap and
can bring on the plane tomorrow?

McCoco:

Let me ask. Hang on.

CocoShell:

Great thanks if not this trip we can take it for the next one

...the nuns had just asked.

McCoco:

 Makati Cinema Square has used instruments. 

I have been looking for a guitar myself ,

so I can make an inquiry when I go next. 

Checking to see if I can go today.

CocoShell:

Nice- thanx McCoco!

The store closes at 8, so I can't make it there myself tonight. 

 I was going to take the friend who recommended the place. 

She could haggle in tagalog with me.

But we should have it in time for the next trip. 

Good plan- our next trip is in a few weeks so there is time...

just wanted to send out in case u had one in the closet or something-

something good for the kids to learn on.

I've never played guitar in my life. 

Just for kicks I checked the Manila craigslist "free items" section.

 Of course there isn't one.  Just plain doesn't exist!

Meanwhile the Seattle craigslist has a free guitar

 case listed 1/31.  Syempre.

nako na man

Oh wait, Seattle craigslist has an ad.

"willing to pay someone $25

 to take this old piano, scrap wood, and clothes."

Dangit! I see another free hot tub!

Nothing hurts like a missed opp in hot tub world.

I'm crying on the inside.

What's the name of the town you are staying?

Uhh... Bonifacio global city in taguig

No I meant on the mission. 

where fishfind resort is located. 

I'm checking for internet access.

Catarman- Fishville resort

Fishville!

Oh wow.  There is a free section after all. 

And in it, I find an interesting offer.

"I am a professional American offering to take you out

 and buy you all the shoes, clothes, perfume you want,

and maybe a little jewelry."

CocoJoe is so busted.

"All I ask in return is on the day I will photograph you feet."

This is tempting. 

The person running the ad doesn't say

specifically that he wants women's feet. 

And I take pretty good care of my paws.

What sicko does that? 

Haha - do it- respond already.

My email address is too precious.

Make up a new one- gandafeet@yahoo

LOL!!!

silkypaa@yahoo

That's wrong and funny at the same time.

Bwaaaahaha

Wow, it's for real- I had to look it up and it's for real...
