My "Second Life" - Where, When, How?

01. Come January 2006, I shall be 62 yrs old. Despite my age and after having been declared by my Cardiologist "fit to return to normal life" after having had a successful Quadruple Heart By-Pass in May 2003, I consider myself in good health. I feel like I am 20 years younger. As I used to be a regular early morning 1-hr Jogger up until I was 40 yrs old, I now go for 30" Jogging in mornings when I feel like it. In any case, I would not miss my 30" daily morning gardening select Vegetables and Orchids. My Selling Job (2x weekly) nowadays would require me to walk around all day without difficulty. About the only change I notice in my BodyClock is that I would want to sleep 1 hr after lunchtime sometime in the mid-day - considering that I go to sleep at about 9:00 pm and awake at about 3:30 am.
02. I was an all-around Marketing Professional with a Multi-National Firm (an Industry Leader in the Philippines - and throughout the World) from 1964 to 1976. Thereafter, I had short periods of Contract Engagements in various Business undertakings - i.e. (1st) Managing a 60-man nationwide Sales Force distributing branded Tissue-Paper; (2nd) Overseeing a franchised Donut FastFood chain; (3rd) Preparing the Project Feasibility Study of a Fil-American JV-company wanting to establish a Philippine-based Export-oriented Industrial Air Filter factory - and seeing to its implementation; (4th) Providing a Package-of-Buying/Sourcing Services to Foreign Buyers sourcing Philippine Crafts departing from the Port-of-Manila; (5th) Consulting with select Client-SME Exporters specializing in their respective Crafts; (6th) Venturing into Cottage-level Micro-enterprise rural-based manufacturing operations by converting select Philippine-Indigenous RM into semi-finished exportable Fashion Goods - mostly needed for Housewares, Gift Packaging, Floral Supplies, etc.
03. My Business Concerns have made me familiar with nearly the entire Philippine Archipelago. I enjoyed and continue to marvel travelling around the beautiful Philippine Scenery, conversing with honest hospitable Filipino rural folks, and making do with clean modest low-cost accomodations wherever Night befalls upon me in the Countryside. Despite having attained good education in the "Best of Schools", having accumulated a wealth of Business Experiences, and having the support of my loving Family, I consider myself a "Financial Failure". I am in debt - and I would want to pay without delay.
04. I seek a financially prosperous "Second Life" here on Earth. I am open to relocation wherever the Spirit-of-God leads me - the sooner the better. Are you God-sent?

Carolyn,

My Wife and I would be honored to have you as our guest in your visit to Manila - if and when.

I take my ageing in good stride. My time spent in the Internet brings me to far-away places and gets me to meet strangers never imagined possible - even if my "BodyClock" were frozen in time at the prime of my youth. Frankly, I enjoy the changeover of my day-to-day activities - from DOING to CONSULTING.
