Sunday morning, at 6:00 am on the dot – electricity goes out. After a short wait, it’s clearly not coming back on and several nearby resorts start their generators. The power company says it’ll be back on at 16:00 (4 pm) and sure enough, the power comes back on exactly 10 hours later at 4:00 [...]
Geckos never come into my bedroom so it’s a little odd now that Kitchen Window gecko keeps slinking in here with that slow swagger…. freshly groomed…. ignoring tasty morsels to show his wealth… and starts serenading me with “kkkk-chit chit chit chit!” This makes the 3rd or 4th time and each time, sways down the wall ever [...]
I’ve spent so little time drinking recently that the Universe sent its minions of mayhem to steer me on a wayward path of poor decision making. The very day after Chad leaves, I started by having a single drink at home and visiting Blue Mango where I had two more drinks and a large quesedilla [...]
Christmas season on Boracay is about the same as any marketing driven area. Theres lots of events but only advirtised to the tragically hip or business owners. We have the interesting assortment of holiday decorations in the resorts such as small potted mango trees as Christmas trees and light strings hung all over as well [...]
. “Sorry, we are closed for delivery” –what time do you close for delivery? “two a.m., sir” – what time is it now? “twelve twenty five, sir” – can I get an order for delivery? “sorry sir, we are closed for delivery” I can see it in every face that I pass….
Got a root canal and it was 3 hours long but man, it felt awesome afterwards. Next day it hurt, and more each day until I noticed the filling reconstruction sloping off like a miniature landslide. So theres a headache constantly. Doesn't help that I've had stomach issues with some nasty bug and nausea. Tried [...]
It’s gotta be Island Karma coming my way because I put up with so much scamming – and finally, things are falling into place. A nice warm fuzzy. It seems I ripped the zipper off my shorts a few nights ago and only hope that was after getting home. Upon waking, I remembered finding that [...]
It’s dreams like this that keep my comfortably contiguous to sanity… almost. I’m sure I’ll regret posting this some day when applying for security clearance to NASA’s anal probing moon base…. but here goes: I’m in the middle east, jordan or Isreal I think. High up on a ihllside in a chateau and its nice. [...]
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 [...]
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! [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Most hard-resets are the result of too much partying and booze, but this one came out of nowhere and way too early. Woke up to the morning rituals and had breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, and coffee. Few hours later I was lounging on the bed with a book thinking that coffee had some extra [...]
Jesus F**king Christ – I have no memory of going to bed last night. Why are there dead bugs on the floor? Did I finish the movie? Whats with all the shredded tissue in the room? I have proper sandwich making stuff, when did I eat the pack of ham by itself? And checkout that [...]
Things have taken a lot longer than I anticipated and still haven’t gotten screened for whatever diseases I’ve likely picked up in S.E. Asia. Keep extending the stay, the hotels, the trips, the car rental… about $4,000 spent for the current 3 weeks. Computer’s been wigging out and I suspect its from some virus. Ever [...]
Ever get home and realize you left part of your groceries at the store? Its on the receipt but not on the counter. You search the bags and all over the fridge. Even the closet got an inspection, (you never know). In the car? Nope, don’t see em. But I’m remembering back to the store.. [...]
Yup, first time in the US since 2004. Woke up around midnight-30 and slowly packing, hopefully ready for departure around noonish – the place I’m staying has mixed comments about having an internet cafe’- versus having wi-fi, so I’m not sure how connected I’ll be – and you know I get all wiggy without my [...]
Ive mentioned that a person can find a counterfeit version of everything here in the Philippines. That includes brand name soap. It will still have detergent properties, but only because of a cheap glycerin mixture. How do you test for fake soap? Depending on how nasty your body is, use a bar of brand name [...]
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
Pet peeves, yea I have them – a lot of ‘em. People walking in the middle of the path is today’s. C’mon people, stop this shit! People walk in both directions so move the hell outta the way! I don’t give a flying fuck if you think you’re rich because you made it to Boracay [...]

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 [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
