The night started simply enough being alone with myself, but ended with obscene quantities of tequila and tacos. I don’t have a single picture: which is probably for the best. No need for evidence. Was planing on doing some coding so I got some take-out from Cocolocos: sliced beef w/vegetables, sliced chicken in bamboo shoots, [...]

Went out with some friends and Chad took  pics with me and a tequila bottle – don’t remember it. Summer Place was in there somehow. I do remember a girl sticking her daisy-dukes in my face at Bom Boms. Made a 2,000 peso order for tacos at Jammers and being about 300p short, handed the [...]

Its been a long bloom this year, and thicker than anyone can remember. Not only are the sea urchin counts sky-high, but the Crown of Thorn starfish is likely to bloom as well. These are cellphone pics so don’t use the PicLens or slideshow option, just click the first one and navigate from there.

Some notes below this. The oil and fat tested came from the grease wastes of meat-processing plants and food servers here and in Boracay. ASU President Dr. Benny Palma said the research conducted by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) showed [...]

In a single statement, they report knowing enough about prostitutes on Boracay that none are foreign, but also saying they’ve not arrested all of them. “The Boracay Special Tourists Police Office (BSTPO) has not received any official report of the existence of foreign sex workers in the resort island. The Boracay PNP has already charged [...]

I like television. Really, I do. I don’t know why this seems odd to people; they ask why I like here and stay inside all day watching TV. Its simple: don’t have to be in the oppressive humidity of outside, don’t have to wear pants, start drinking in the morning w/o alcoholic gossip – I [...]

*****UPDATE****** To whom it may concern, thanks for the crank-call delivery order from da’Marios. (proof they know me well already, hehe) That 450 pesos that Boracay Tourist Center turned down? I got it done and sent registered mail at the post for 300p. whoops, your bad. Even the longtime postmaster was like ‘huh, why wouldn’t [...]

I went on one of my drunken snorkeling trips that begins with 10am RedBull/vodka and ends with sunburn. On the way back, I found some huge cuttlefish pretty near the shore. Normally, I would never tell anyone where I saw these (when its so close to shore), but only a few will know what I’m [...]

Yup, I’m in Manila now. As it usually happens, the decision was made after staying up all night drinking. I didn’t eat during that whole day/night and had a cheap sammich (with beer) in the airport lounge. Got to my hotel sometime around 11am yesterday, still drunk.  1st stop: EZ Mart for some booze! Told [...]

My day was decent until dumbass, stupid, arrrrrrggggg!!!………… wifey came by. I had a lot of drinks and was feeling really good for the night. I mean really good. As in just fu**ing dandy. Got a burger and some shepherds pie with a salad to-go from Tony’s and man, that was a huge load of [...]

I have a problem with Yellow Cab Pizza here on Boracay. Recently, they deliver only when they feel like it. I can remember many times that I’ve called and their delivery times have magically changed to be 15 minutes prior to my ordering. Lets be clear, its different times – tonight was 10:15pm. A few [...]

The brownouts have gotten bad lately, now its not even scheduled stuff. Every day, the electricity has gone out before sunrise and stayed of for a number of hours. Normally coming back on around noon, then out again for a few hours. Several days ago, it went out at 5am and came back on at [...]

Our favorite topic about Boracay is back! The semi-regulated prostitution business. The government says it doesn’t want it here it and has placed the police on heightened vigilance…. I guess someone forgot to tell Manila that the police already regulate it and have been planting a boot in the ass of girls with expired pink-cards [...]

I’m punching this one out while I have the chance, (as well as recharging everything I own). We went out drinking the other night and hit up Juice Bar, Hey Jude, and Jammers. My bill at Juice Bar was about 500p which is normal for me, but at Hey Jude, everyone was buying me drinks! [...]

I remember once weighing the size/weight/quality against the other places and Yellow Cab came out much better. Yes, its pricey but it was also a lot of food. Normally, I can easily eat 600 pesos of daMario for a 12″ pizza, order of fried calamaris, and a huge slab of lasagna. But ordering from Yellow [...]

I’m sick and tired of this crap, just too damn much all at once. It  came time to goto Manila for a wedding, cool! 2 days to fly, jesus christ I feel like crap. cant get any airlines on the phones. stay inside. The next day blows: I rehydrate all night, wake to find my [...]

WTF!  Seriously, wtf is going on with me getting a head-cold? At first I though it was a hang-over since I stayed up almost 24hr drinking myself stupid, but this fucking hurts. Neck, eyes, sinus, shoulder and head muscles, headache…. took a Sinutab and tried taking another one an hour later but my throat seems [...]

dive-monster.com – No Fishing in Boracay GMANews – Boracay off limits to fishers ….The local government of Malay town in Aklan provnce [sic] has declared the waters surrounding the world famous resort island of Boracay permanently off-limits to fishing activities….. ….Report said that fishermen from nearby provinces such as Masbate, Antique and Romblon have been [...]

I wasn’t planning on going out, didn’t even really feel like socializing. Several people told me a bout a birthday party at Red Pirates but I declined and went home for a few rum/cokes and quality time on the computer doing tax paperwork. At some point, I decided to cook about a dozen hotdogs, those [...]

In their drive to be recognized as societal contemporaries on the international scene, the Philippines restaurant outlet, Jammers, on Boracay has taken it upon themselves to redefine the “taco”. Not in a ‘Taco Bell with cute names and mystery brown/red sauce’ kind of way, but more of a ‘remove the taco shell and and make [...]

Mystical Korean ATM Adventure

Written by JD. No comments Posted in: Uncategorized
Tagged with ,

We all waited about 20 minutes while a group of 3 Koreans tried figuring out how to use an ATM in D’Mall on Boracay. No shit, it took 3 of them. And 20 minutes. They had a stack of  ‘reject’ slips when finally leaving so I’m assuming they either were too fucking stupid to understand [...]

feast your eyes on this nonsense… like the alcohol veins? Took me a month to clean the Halloween paint off the bathroom tiles… Dude has never worn a shirt that I can remember immorality at red pirates

Wifey starts talking about food and I mention that I’m eating fajitas. She’s so f*ing stupid, she thinks fajita is an evil religious-cult food. I dnt eat food,dat [...]

You gotta be kidding me, the electricity went out yesterday at 9pm and guess what, …. it’s still out then next day at 4:27pm. That’s 19 solid hours of brownout on Boracay, again. Are they telling anyone? Nope. Excuses? Nope. And now we’re in the pre-Peak Season where the rates dipped a little before Easter [...]
