The neighbors are smoking again. Not tobacco or weed, this time its wet brush. They pile this stuff up once a week and let it smoulder so the smoke gets in the trees for mosquitos. I guess someone forgot to tell them there arent any permathrin plants growing here so palm-smoke aint gonna cut it. [...]
It was one of those huge Tokay geckos… about 7 inches long. I woke up this AM and found this. That book is the encyclopedia of recreational diving, about an inch thick and weighs a few pounds. It was on this end of the screen. This morning, it was on the ground, the box had [...]
Guess I haven’t been putting my diving in here. I started the Master Scuba Diver plan with Dustin at Blue Mango. I’m filling up on cert cards and getting Tech I at the end. His big thing is that I get plenty of diving in and know my skills for the specialty certs. It does [...]
Xibalba, jeeze I love this word. I mean, I just might get this tattooed on my forehead. Xibalba is one of the Mayan mythical worlds, this one is not a happy place. I don’t get the impression that its like most hell’s where you automatically go there when you die if not another place like [...]

jeeze, i feel like crap right now. came home last night and it started raining again so those damn roaches started coming in … but i forgot that the posion was already down and they’d die in an hour or so. my dumbass started spraying again and with the few drinks in me, guess i [...]
I now have two of the large Tokay geckos. I used to think it was just a huge mother but now know its a different breed that run around eating all the other smaller breeds of geckos, large bugs and… massive cock roached that are already poisoned to death. Yuppers, I think they’re eating these [...]
Went diving with Dustin yesterday at Blue Mango and enjoyed the hell out of it. I’m tired and just woke up late as hell. Was supposed ot be ther at 08:30, it’s now almost 11:00. I was up all night watching movies and CRAP I’m still tired.
For some reason, the brown outs haven’t been happening like they said. It’s not like it was a rumor mill that came up with the ideas, I personally called them and was told YES every day from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm would be a brown out for the entire island of Boracay. And it [...]
A few nights ago, I ate at Red Pirates for their Friday night all-u-can-eat buffet for 200 pesos, and that food was good! Tons and tons of BBQ skewers of beef and chicken (or was pork one of them?), some large grilled tilapia fish, a potato salad, a spinach/vinegar salad, a chef salad, rice, etc… [...]
The new kittehs’ at Red Pirates have laid salvage-rights claim to Rods bag of leftover food. They might need to have some breaching tools lowered to them.
It’s 07:50 am leaving 10 minutes until the official start time of the power outage. They say they’re doing a substation installation and its gonna take 2 months of daily outages. But yesterday, it only lasted about 4 or 5 hours, perhaps less. I even called them and the guy answering was audibly weary of [...]
Brown out, black out, power outage; whatever you want to call it. I’m down at Blue Mango and sure enough, the generator is running. Supposedly for 2 months, the power will be out daily. How does this happen? After a typhoon, they can get it up after 5 days but now the entire island is [...]
Brown out that never stops? HuH? This is what I’m hearing from a few friends of mine. A couple of them have business interests and get direct calls regarding this. The low-down as that Boracay power company, Akelco, is going to turn off the electricity every day from morning to evening (hottest times of the [...]
Yes, I’m in a much better mood. Why? Easy…. I got myself an aluminum baseball bat. That’s all it took. Have bat, will travel. I bought 1 of only 2 for sale on the island. The other was a wooden thing that was made from a plank board – first hit on anything and it [...]
I have to ask this because I’ve not left the house much in a few days. A few hours at Cocoloco’s and at Red Pirates…some of which I remember, but other than that its been time spent in the aircon. Now it looks like the night will be wasted again trying to fix a cell [...]
I hadn’t known this but it seems Samuel Adams (Boston Beer Company) beer had tried to shut down a website for a mayoral candidate in Portland, Oregon. His name was Samuel Adams and it was reflected in the domain name. Well, there’s a friend of mine that I met thru his visits to Boracay – [...]
I truly hate the dog shit out of this island. I hate the fair-weather friends. I hate the foreigners. I hate the water. I hate the sun. i hate the insane amount of prostitutes on this island. i hate people ruining the atmosphere of established bars because they have no fucking class. i hate the [...]
There is no such thing as privacy on Boracay. It doesn’t matter if you need it or not…every single person on this shit hole talks about shit they have no clue about. Ever play the circle-talk-rumor- game? 1st person starts with a sentence and each person whispers it into the ear of the person on [...]
I forgot about this…. when I was in the Makati Medical Center getting checked for this huge friggin’ cannon shot wound in my leg (ahem…) I weighed myself for the first time since I got here. I lost 65 pounds in the past year! (That’s almost 30 kilos for you others) I was a snug [...]
I woke up around noon today and promptly did nothing but some more laundry. Bleaching all the whites in the house that seem dingy after the house was empty for almost a month. Haven’t been shopping since I got back so I made some instant oats as food, not that I was hungry but I [...]
