• Frustrations with the Filipino approach to time and the complete absence of appointments for services
• The challenge of maintaining friendships across political divides when discussing controversial topics like Biden's cancer diagnosis
• Reflections on how Trump and Biden are perceived differently and the inability to have nuanced political conversations
