Stokely's Longest Drive

09/01/2025

Been trying to see pandas for years now. Been to zoos in multiple countries that advertised pandas but by the time we got there, China had gotten mad and taken them back biut they were still on the zoo's website. Seriously, like 4 or 5 times this happened lol.

Well today, finally, at the Singapore Zoo we saw them and they were worth the wait. Killer zoo and we finally saw pandas!

I considered making the image 3D but I don't want anyone scared they will be pinoked in the eye!

Spotted at the Mall of Asia, in their front window at an expensive, fancy store. I'm pretty sure Disney would not approve hahaha

The one on the right is for doing number one. The other one confuses me!

Spotted in the bathroom of a Hawker Street in Singapore!

Check this out! I've posted a lot about being afraid of heights. Five years ago it was so bad that I avoided flying, couldn't eat at rooftop restaurants and even had trouble approaching the windows in high buildings. It was so crippling.

The worst part is that I am so rational and not afraid of almost anything. Like, seriously, almost nothing scares me and yet I would be paralyzed over something completely in my own head. I felt so embarrassed.

So a few years ago I told myself I would get over it and started forcing myself do do things that were hard. I couldn't do much at first but would slowly go further and further, pushing more and more.

Two years ago in Singapore I was able to do a sky walk in the Cloud Forrest but refused to do the observation deck at the Marina Bay Sands. Now two years later, going up there was my idea.

I'm still terrified of heights, but not paralyzed. Pushing past fears absolutely sucks, but the results are worth it!

Still afraid of heights and still pushing to get over it. We went to the observation deck of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore tonight and I'm pretty sure I was the only scary cat up there but I don't care. Two years ago I refused to do this and this time it was my idea. Still had a panic attack, but it's improvement lol

They overbooked our flight by 36 seats. I'm not upset because It's so much fun watching the chaos of them try to deal with all the angry customers. This is way more entertaining than anything Disney Star Wars has ever put out.

Seriously, 36 seats oversold. If I listed something for sale and sold it to 37 people, I'm pretty sure I would be told this isn't allowed.

On a side not, I got my first "senior advantage" today and I should be angry at being called old, but I've been too busy laughing hysterically for the past 45 minutes hahahaha

Disc golf in the Philippines is an experience like no other. Everything is so green and beautiful!

Joey Chestnut set a world record by eating 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. I'm not impressed. I just ate well over 1,000 pieces of rice at dinner and I did mine without sponsorship and on a full stomach.

Have you ever smashed any world records like I just did?

Best travel advice ever (From our friend Shahid): "The real fun doesn't begin until the moment you are willing to disregard your own safety!"

The Philippines (outside of Manila... like any other big city) is safe, yet many travelers only visit resort towns and stay close to the tourist areas. So yesterday we went for a walk down the main road and turned off onto a tiny country road, wandered about a mile and came across a restaurant called The Old Buddies' Farmhouse in the middle of nowhere.

I think they were surprised because they hadn't seen many guests my height so they found the owner who lived there to meet us. His name is Romeo, he is a retired police officer and also runs the National Police College in his region. He gave us a tour of his farm where he has three tiny bungalows he rents out, raises chickens, goats, rabbits and an emu and is hand digging a swimming pool.

We met his wife, son, ate dinner for three dollars each and watched a local basketball league compete to see who the alphas in their region are.

The other option, sit by our hotel pool and eat nachos.

When you travel, ask if it's safe. If it is, don't be afraid to have an adventure that's way better than the alternative of being stuck drinking cocktails at a hotel pool!

How to pack for a two month, SE Asia Disc Golf Adventure...First, you fill your suitcase with every disc you will need from Stokely Discs and Ching Discs and then if, and only if, you have space left do you also take clothing.

My girlfriend doesn't play so her suitcase is just clothing and a bathroom bag for us both. If we didn't have my discs, everything we need for both of us can fit into one suitcase lol

The reason we travel so lightly is that it allows us to be free to travel without plans or reservations. Just hop on the next bus, train or boat and go. Ease of movement = freedom.

(And the main reason we can do this in SE Asia is that it's sooooo cheap here. You don't need to make reservation to try and find the best deal. Everything is affordable, even for an old Frisbee Golfer :-)
