Yes, mi amigo! I am in trouble! Why you did not read my writing here at LiP for long time now? I have troubles. You won’t be able to believe these, friends.
Where can I start this?
Can you remember, I have motorcycle? In June 14, I write article that I did buy a motorcycle! Oh, I enjoyed it so much! I was riding the city, king of Zamboanga. I enjoy so much fresh air, lots of people watching my ride in the streets of Zamboanga.
Everything great on my motorcycle. Until July 10. Crash. Bang. Rip! Broken my leg! Scrape all skin from my leg. Blood. Plenty of blood.
I go to hospital. Spend 6 days in Labuan Community Medicare Hospital. Great pain, plenty doctor looking after me. Plenty X-Ray. Plenty pain killer pill.
You think that is my trouble that I mentioned? Oh, amigos… motorcycle wrek is only starting of my troubles.
During 6 days of hospitalization, I meet my nurse, Minda. Oh, Minda. Very nice nurse. Very beautiful nurse. Very good treatment to me during my pain.
Since I living in the Philippines since 2005, I very careful, I never fall for any girl here. I enjoy many company of many girl, but never get hooked to one. But, I am weak in my injury condition. I take a big fall for Minda.
Many Nurses - You find Minda in Picture
Yes, now I have girlfriend. Just one month only, but she already mention to me the “M” word. You know M word? Marriage! For now, I hold off, I can resist. I hope I continue to resist for a long while. But, I not the same since motorcycle injury.
I drive too fast! I drive motorcycle too fast. I drive too fast for Minda.
I think my trouble only beginning now. Girlfriend? Oh yes, more trouble coming, I feel it. What you think?
About Carlin
Hi Carlin,
I hope that Minda is not the bald headed one in the front line right side of the picture!
Minda is a lucky girl –not many men would crash a motorcycle just to get the name of a nurse –hummmmmmm– i guess you better go ahead and (M)–hahahaahha– all kidding aside i hope your reovery from the motorcycle goes well –recovery from Minda??? not much chance i am afraid-

I think this will be appropriate……BEST WISHES in surviving the accident, and I am not typing about the bike…….i2f
HaHa Carlin ! I for one missed your writing and brother I know what you mean about them filipina nurses I got one of dem too can’t go wrong amigo welcome back
¿Cómo está usted? Carlin,
You never know when Cupid will shoot that arrow Carlin, just like motorcycle accident, you just never know.
Maybe is time to not drive motorcycle too fast, and slow down. The same with your filipina’s, slow down, and maybe just maybe, Minda the one to slow you down.
Quizá ella el que está para capturar su corazón también, el tiempo dirá
Good luck my friend, is good to be in love!!!
Adios para ahora, tome el cuidado y diga hola a Minda para mí
Danny
hi carlin

maria
Carlin, you did not mention that you must of hit your head or something like that!! Just kidding!!!! LOVE will get you when you least are looking for it…..But the nurse’s are all to nice to look at, it must be their uniforms(ha,ha). Went to visit a friend in the hospital when we were thir last, and boy it was hard not to look at the staff……..Get well soon.J.C.
Carlin, this article made me LOL! Well, it’s all your fault you know… if you hadn’t been driving fast, you wouldn’t have had the accident; there for you wouldn’t have had to go to the hospital! No accident… No Minda!
I’m glad your okay and kudos to Minda! (for getting you to fall hard for her.)
Hi Carlin – Nothing but sympathies for you. Just remember that love is like a roller-coaster with ups and downs. You may even feel more pain in the heart sometime than your pain in the leg. Don’t worry, just enjoy being with Minda and if “M” happens, it happens!
If only I could be in your shoes.
Someday maybe I will be with the Pinay I met in Iraq again…
Can I give you one little suggestion……….RUN!……..and don’t look back!
Hi Carlin – Sorry to hear about your accident. It’s good to hear you’re making a quick recovery.
LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!
So Carlin you are a doomed man!!!
The only advice I can give you is…..
Happy Wife Happy Life!!!!
If more men “got it” there would be a lot fewer divorces!!!!
Best wishes on your recovery.
Congrats to you on Minda and to her I say “Good Luck”
Hola .. quiero Carlin para su plena recuperación de su accidente. Espero que la resistencia no es inútil aún acerca de la temida M. Broma.

salamat carlin
Carlin,
The song is by Elvin Bishop, and the title is FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE. It kind of matches your story where a young man tasted the many flavors available to him, but eventually met his match. BEST WISHES in the healing, and figuring out what to do with your new friend. One good woman is worth more than millions…….i2f
Don’t let her hold her breath, never let her assume that you are going to marry her. At least try your very best to tell her that you are “NOT YET” ready, she will be sad for sure, but better than her hoping for something more when there is none at present. She will understand, if she is the right girl, she will cling and enjoy your company more without you being pressured. Few advices i can give, never lie and pretend. Be yourself and tell her your honest thoughts whenever you can.
Hi Vanessa, I totally agree w/ you. I hope Minda also reads this.
hola joven,
it looks like you lost some of your superpowers in your crash & minda is a walking kryptonite to you.
best of luck with whole thing.
Carlin leave marriage alone that is for married people.
Hi, Carlin!
Sorry for your bike crash and i wish you to recover 100% of your good health as soon as possible.
I try to be pinoy in this, so i tell you that maybe that was an act of God pushing you towards the direction of building your own family?
Anyway i am pretty sure that, marriage or not, you might very well enjoy a nice sturdy japanese 4×4 (i’m a Daihatsu Feroza lover) on the Philippines’ roads.
You would not really feel the wind on your face but you’d have plenty of space for load (woman, swimming suit, a refrigerated box with some SanMig…).
Greetings from Italy
LOL
Carlin my lad, there is no more hope. You are simply doomed as some other poster stated.
Personally, I have to say that I was doomed the evening I met my wife. Absolutely stone cold doomed
Jody
RUN LIKE THE DEVIL HIMSELF IS CHASING YOU !!!!
your to young for the “M” word my friend…enjoy your youth…as Mark Twain once said “its a shame youth is wasted on the young”, it truely is a fleeting period, enjoy it while you have it, u have plenty of time before the weight of responsibility.
Carlin, sorry to hear about your accident. Maybe you should of had a small little accident like I did after just two days. 40 years riding and I misjudged a turn. Has kept me from being hurry since.
As for pretty nurse, as long as you have been in the field here, throw away your present sim card. Old lady friend called and almost cost me deportaion. Just read the stories of Filipia’s and jealousy.
I think they gave you too many pain killers, those can cause euphoria and that can cause love and now you’re already married. You just don’t know it yet.
Ouch broken leg…. Crash not a surprise you young wild man. Sorry about broken leg!
I don’t know dude, you’re giving up a lot of pretty Fllipina! Some very pretty girls in Spain too. You could have stayed home and got married! LOL
Good luck…..
Hey everybody, allow me to introduce myself, I’m some young dude who prefers livin it up in the PI, like I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world but here. Now let’s get down to the point of my comment: Carlin, I got a new bike several months ago, I like to ride really fast and I’m sorry about what happened to you but this is like a wake up call: I’m gonna buy some protective armored bike gear…. on another note, I really hate when girls want marriage, I mean at my age I’m only looking for fun, every time I get asked about marriage it annoys me like they’re looking for a “green card” or something..
Carlin…Glad to read you’re fine. As for the rest, que sera, sera.
Hehe, GenSan Chris. You cracking me up now! That not Minda, it might be Mindo!
Sorry to know you had an accident, Carlin. Hope you’ll recover fast. Are you still gonna ride your bike?

Hola Eric: I recuperate accident. No recuperate my lady!
Hi Carlin,
Which one is Minda (since it is not the bald head guy in the front row?) I am guessing she is sitting in the front 2 rows.
Palarin ka sana.
Como Esta Amigo Ron? I thought you be very happy that I tied to one girl! ha ha. he he…
Como esta John? Oh, I know this song too. Maybe I am fool to fall in love? Maybe I not yet in love?
Como esta Vanessa. Muchos gracias! I listen your advices.
como esta macky? I crash, Minda pick up my pieces! I need your luck.
hola Frank. You take care, you married already?
Gattone, Minda not japanese, she Filipina. She 5 foot 3 inch, not 4 foot 4 inch. Not so short.
como esta jack? Minda way at back! You not able to see her face! Ha he he
Jody, como esta? I not having any hope now?
brian, Minda not devil – angel. Mi angel.
there’s no reason why you cannot enjoy life being married… i got married at the young age of 22 and my husband was 39 then. my husband would always tell me that the happiest moments of his life began when he got married( and i feel the same). getting married never stopped us from doing what we like, travelling and enjoying mountain climbing,etc. It didn’t even stopped me from finishing my mba and starting another master’s degree while managing a business and taking care of my hubby and two kids (one 4 y.o. and one 1 y.o). I never felt that i have wasted my youthful years… on the contrary, they have become to be fruitful years for me. I think the key is marrying the right person in the right time and for the right reasons.
to carlin, minda might be your salvation! jeje… just take things slow… and enjoy every moment.
ciao!
Hello Carlin,
there’s a little bit of misunderstanding here…
I was talking about a car… A jap 4×4 = an offroad vehicle, or a jeep if you prefer… That’s what i’d love to drive on the muddy roads of my parents-in-law place in the province and what i was suggesting you to drive instead of the motorbike.
http://images03.olx.com.ph/ui/1/80/86/1577486_1.jpg
By the way, my wife is probably 4feet9inches and i read somewhere that “dynamite comes in small packages”
Take care,
Gattone
4×4 or here in spain, you call then todo terreno.
Ensueno…todo terreno…that was one called me in Colombia because the locals could take me anywhere, and I could eat anywhere.
I totally agree with your advice Vanessa. Please be patient my friend Carlin, “M” can wait like the old folks saying “the longer you wait the love you gets will be forever and everlasting.” I’m pretty sure Minda will wait and understand. “No pressure” when it comes to “M” brother. Good Luck my friend.
