The weather has been cool, dark, and windy which is just perfect for me! manila got stomped in the storm and everyone (including the President) keeps calling it a typhoon although it never once reached those wind speeds to rise from a tropical storm classification. But rain? Oh yea, it dumped the most ever recorded [...]
Playing music on your cell phone, out loud and not using an earpiece, is completely retardedly stupid. If you do this, then I hereby declare you an idiot with the intelligence of a tic-tac. It’s publicly annoying for others and stupid on your behalf. You can barely understand which song it is. It doesn’t make [...]
Tropical Storm Ketsana came ripping through here and dumped THE record for rainfall in Manila. Its the most on record, apparently but then again no-one bothered recording it until Americans came. On Boracay, it was a lot of crazy winds and rain bursts.
There were groups all over station 3 from the cave to the station-house, playing [...]
Ten years ago, I was in the Army and full of benefits. At year 10, they pretty much tell you to screw off and don’t call again so this was a good opportunity to have a personal celebration day.
Around noon, I realized what day it was and headed down to sip-n-grip some purple drank! a.k.a. [...]
This Filipino dude is good considering how overdone this meme is. I kept watching it. Check out that rat-tail hair under his left ear. It is a dude, right?
I remember being in the dive shop yesterday… almost. Chatting with Hing or Hai, or whatever her hot ass is called…. I had cordon bleau…. bought a condo (<–???)…… wait, hold the fuck on. Its now 4:30 the next day and I never woke up. I got up to night, then this morning. Did I [...]
Finally made it home to Boracay and dysentary. I’d forgotten the water here, even tooth-brushing and showering, is pretty contaminated. Well, I didn’t forget, just kinda assumed it wouldnt be hard on me as if aclimetized like before.
I cope with large amounts of Tanduay rum and take-out food. And mangos, loves me some mangos.
My room [...]
Leaving Hostel 1632, I had forgotten, is a pain in the ass. You can spend hundreds of dollars there and they make you wait to check-out while they count the towels, mini bar, furniture, and ashtrays… it’s slow. And just like last time, they tried padding the minibar bill with items I didn’t use (and [...]
Coming into Manila was uneventful except I forgot the first visa (28 days) is free and the immigration officer (in military uniform) was shocked when I tried handing him some cash. Oops, my bad!
Stayed at Hostel 1632 next to Robinsons Mall in Ermita and the first room was ghetto as hell. I mean a pure [...]
The Korean Air flight from Stateside was interesting as I had been awake for 45 hours, was having trouble thinking straight, body aches – then a Korean girl (late 20’s) starts flipping out. She complained of stomach pain but couldn’t describe it, then looked confused, tired, tried wandering around. They isolated her to the back, [...]
The trip started rather well, plenty of time with everything going smoothly & on time.
One thing that put me off was in the DFW terminal (Dallas Ft Worth) which is insanely huge. Loved it but c’mon, $8.00 for a tuna sandwich?
There were Border Control guards at the loading ramp of Korean Airlines… AFTER you’ve scanned [...]
Bunch of foreigners getting killed in the Philippines, and these are just the ones that got away. This was back in July and somehow I missed it.

Of the 38 foreigners, there were nine Indians, six Americans, five Koreans, four Bristish, three Germans, two Australians, two Canadians, and one each from Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Iran, [...]
I’m posting this due to personal experience; the people answering the emergency line on Boracay said they didn’t test for H1N1, suggested I go to Kalibo, and hung up on me 3 times.

Global Warming has apparently changed the laws of physics in microwavable junk-food. The first line of directions for cooking a cup of microwavable EasyMac (Kraft©) says:
REMOVE lid and Cheese Sauce Mix; set aside. (Note: You will see loose white powder in Pasta. This is necessary for proper cooking.)
I’m a bit worried about the necessary white [...]
