Boracay has another victim – me. I have a massive blue/black bruise on my upper ass cheek, cuts on the wrist that look like a sorry attempt at suicide, heavy cloth cargo shorts with a cut in the back, a knot on my head…and I’m limping like a gimp in physical therapy. Spent all day [...]
Boracay has taken another victim – me. I found out why they wont choppity-chop the fallen banana palm on the walkway up to here. Because its still alive and has another month to go for the bananas to be ready. This banana tree has been lying there since the typhoon was over many days ago, [...]
I thought perhaps it was mating season but I’m thinking that the geckos are engaging in war. When they mate, the male pretty much goes Neanderthal and rapes his girl. They might circle a few times then he bites her on the back and holds her still while he does his bidness’. But now, I [...]
just do a google search on the word “contractor” and “killed”. In the past, no one was ever labeled as a “contractor”. like the guy killed at the stadium by a pallet skid…says ‘contractor killed’. Well, duh. But in the past it would have been a person, a worker, etc… was killed. But now the [...]
Almost came and sat right on top of us. Wind speed estimates were from 90 to 120 km/hr. I dont think anyone actually recorded it here in Boracay. http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/genmet/rpnames.html and http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/rsmc-hp-pub-eg/tyname.html These names are preselected in advance and they just go down the list as the storms occur. I had not known this. The first [...]
“…the vessel carried 724 passengers, 111 crew members, and 26 sanitary aides.” What is a sanitary aide? Is it a health care professional or a janitor? And why the term ‘aide’, are they not actually qualified in this field? Who are they aiding, the crew members? That would make 111 supervisors for 26 staffers..on a [...]
I’m not making light of this but it was odd to see this combination of words in an article about the Ferry search being halted because of toxic pesticides that weren’t ever supposed to be on a passenger boat: A handful were positively identified by clothes, scars and jewelery, including a policeman who was returning [...]
Here are some lessons learned after Typhoon Fengshen (frank) Sugar ants can predict typhoons – the recent invasion completely disappeared the morning before the typhoon hit Boracay. They came back at the end of the last rain and are back in force. There is a guy claiming to be a former NASA engineer working as [...]
Check out the inner wall of the eye on Typhoon Fengshen (Frank)! This joker came right next to us that night my drunk ass was walking around the island! You can see the eye open up right at its peak intensity next to Boracay. Credit for the animation goes to typhoon2000.com
UPDATE: whoops, not everyone had power restored like I had said earlier. I went down to Red Pirates and sure enough, they were still without. Several bars/resorts along the southern end of White Beach didn’t have power still…guess I was lucky. As far as I can tell now, everyone seems to have it restored. Honestly, [...]
AaaaHooo!!!! 5 Days now the power has been out on Boracay. The typhoon “Frank” (I know) came in as a mild warning on Friday…nothing special expected here and was supposed to peak around 2pm that day. Whoops. I have too much cleaning up to do now that the power and water are back on so [...]
Ever seen that Freak Show movie where bugs start crawling out of this guys body? Or any one of the multitudes of sci-fi shows about bugs instantly coming out of nowhere? I think the first one was Ants in 1977. Ever since learning just how true the words of my roommate were about not leaving [...]
I should get paid for the amount of irresponsibility that exudes from my very essence. I was taking an easy day, so I thought. Nothing in the house that I cared to eat but I hadn’t been to the ATM in a while and 40 pesos wasn’t getting me anything near here. Buuuutttt, there is [...]
Honestly, my lack of a hobby drives me to drink. I have no job or gainful means of time occupation. Get bored. Drink. Party later. Sleep. Shower. Rinse. Repeat. Went for a massive swim yesterday past *station 4* cove. I say massive because I don’t have any fins and found myself trucking all over the [...]
No more messenger from me, people. Only 6 or less people have commented on here but a bunch hit me up on messenger about my comments..not sure why but whatever. To each, their own. Anyhoo, I start classes again today with the Univ of Phoenix so messenger will need to be cut to a minimum. [...]
Didn’t bother leaving the house today. This house, that is. Got in about 5am, turned the aircon on, slept a few hours, turned aircon off, slept until late in the afternoon, woke up sweating my butt off, aircon back on, been piddling on the internet in the nicely dark room ever since. We had plans [...]
I learned a lesson. Life lesson. Never read Tucker Max just before going out unless you already know his shit. Poor decisions will be made. There was a line in there: “…because I am a bad person.” I used to be a bad person but somewhere between losing military rank 5 times in only 4 [...]
source (this is the most blandest, under lubricated, thick walled, boring condom out there….obviously HR had something to do with its selection) Intrepid souls braving the cold climes of Antarctica clearly find traditional ways of keeping warm. McMurdo Station has taken delivery of 16,488 condoms. The shipment last month constitutes a year’s supply, ensuring the [...]
Myanmar has been making public statements about this cyclone relief-aid fiasco that paints them as just a pack of idiots with less intelligence than a child. Remember not long ago, Congo had ignorant people running around claiming sorcerers/witch doctors were extorting money from them or else have their penis shrunken….and the police were so stupid, [...]
I’m not liking this headache-thing in the morning. Sober too. Well, crap. I just burned breakfast too. I was soaking some rice in simmering cream-of-shroom soup and my dumbass turned it on high instead of low. Burnt rice anyone? Damn, I was hoping to eat a bit and go back to sleep for the headache. [...]
Today, I finally got back in the water again! Whoo Hoo! I had taken my gear down to Blue Mango a few days ago to get it back in the rinse tanks and check it over… re-seasoning it I guess we could say. We had some really good friends come in the same day and [...]
