In short, filipinos love to play, and for them hunkering down to do a non-social isolation job is not fun. Whereas, I love doing this "hiding in my cave coding never see the light of day for two months".

My gf thinks I am very odd not to take showers for up to months. (and I was not like that in my youth, as I am not European, I am American and we take showers every day) She does note I do not have body odor and she likes my smell, so I guess we are okay here, lol
