Timex 7: would 6 strangers care to dine with me at a buffet in Makati or Manila?

[christian5327]

The Philippines is a very cliquish place separated by class and geography. I would like to try a social experiment to see if 6 intelligent strangers from different walks of life can congregate together over a wonderful brunch with conversation on various topics. Credentials are irrelevant so long as the person is intelligent and insightful. I would be paying for the meal, perhaps even drinks. This will not happen overnight since I am in Seattle. However, I plan on visiting Manila more often in the future. All one has to do is email me through my account here their full name, address, email and then in a brief passage explain why they would be a good fit for this group.

I know, many will be very skeptical of this but then again there will be others that will be extremely curious. I am not asking for anything in return. Besides, the bill for such a small group would be a pittance compared to its counterpart in the United States. None of you here I'm sure have had this kind of opportunity to meet several intelligent and knowedgeable perfect strangers not affiliated whatsover with your social circles.

Obviously, one limitation is that a person be near Metro Manila. If you are a worthy candidate but live beyond the reaches of Metro Manila then I will hire transportation for you. The buffet will be one that is top rated with elegant surroundings. No, it will not be one in which you eat with your hands nor will it be one in which only Filipino food is served. I want the ambiance of the place to stimulate conversation. Should this turn out to be an all day affair I will book one or two rooms at the Jupiter Arms in Makati for anyone that would have to travel far from Metro Manila.

Your comments and questions on this post would be very much appreciated

You are the first person that has said the obvious: "this is interesting". See what I mean concerning this experiment? Anway, you can either email me here or christian5327@hotmail.com. If you prefer, I suppose we can just start discussing this here. Can you give me who, what, where, and how concerning yourself?

Logically, this cannot be the case for the theme of Timex 7 are complete strangers conversing and interacting during a gathering. Nobody can bring to this gathering others including friends and loved ones for it would defeat the purpose. However, technically after the first encounter no one would be a stranger to each other so then the second phase would be to bring others to the interaction.

As for yourself, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and automatically accept you since we have posted responses with each other and I have extended an invitation to you. All you need to do is provide personal information so that I know who you are as a person but you will not be screened out. This will be a thorough and lengthy process but it will be well worth it to establish this Timex 7.

Do interested participants have to own or buy a Timex product? Or are you laying groundwork for the resurrection of The Timex Social Club?

Timex 7 is the egalitarian version of the Rolex 12. The Rolex 12 as we know from history, are the Marcos cronies that helped Marcos maintain his regime backed by the country's elite. Timex 7 will be people from a broad range of age, lifestyle, background, etc.

When will this be?

My information is on my profile. Each person does not introduce themselves on this thread. In order to preserve anonymity with each other, each person interested should email me, not post as a visitor on my profile.

I cannot assume that the people at this Timex 7 gathering will even be harmonious with one another, let alone like each others' personal information. For example, everyone at the table knows that X or Y is a transsexual, which is controversial in the Philippines as it is here in most parts of the United States. Some of the people at that gathering might not listen to the message from that messenger because of their identity as X or Y or Z. Of course, I will strive to make the group half female and half male and include a wide range of ages, faiths, backgrounds, etc.

When will this happen? Certainly not tomorrow. It might take a few months, a year, etc. but I suspect it will be less than a year. Hopefully. This will be an ongoing gig should it work the first time as I plan on visiting Manila more frequently. Hopefully, it can be Timex 7 2013 or Timex 7 Spring Season 2015. Also, perhaps some people on pinoyexchange can catch on so that multiple Timex 7's can exist out in the real world.

Please write in Standard American English. I see the word 'rape' and 'drug' so your comment cannot be positive at all. The venue will have security nearby so everyone can enjoy the food and conversation in safety and security.
