Went out last night and don’t recall just a whole lot but apparently I had a good time if this mornings hangover is any testament. It seems I got home before 11pm and bought three days worth of takeout from Big Mouth. I remember getting up early and drinking. At some point I was at [...]
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, [...]
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! [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Does grape Gatorade ever go bad? You wouldn’t think so but apparently it does – see the title. It goes bad with a vengeance. Woke up around 4pm. Hung out at Red Pirates for a while B: B calls saying that him and M would be arriving in 30 minutes and I should stay…. me: [...]

Screw this day, I’ve had enough of my 4 waking hours. Back to the aircon and bed. Something happened keeping me awake all night, with a bottle of Tanduay. Even had a vodka redbull around 9:00 am but finally crashed. Man, I woke around 8:30 pm feeling nauseous and sweating like mad. Daymn, the room [...]
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 [...]
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
Red Pirates pub down near Station 3 has this wacko group of people claiming they own the beach in front of them. They came and put this crappy looking ‘alter’-like stand between 2 trees and actually chained it there.In the day they have craploads of nasty urchins laying about trying to sell food and trinkets [...]
Normally I would spend time making a good post on the crazy things that go one around here, especially the ones people have to tell me about because I blacked out, but since I have very limited time on the computer here Blue Mango–its gonna be brief. Red Pirates lost their boat, then found it [...]
I completely forgot I had these pictures until I saw Jung post this article. Its about a sponge crab that took a plastic bag as its ‘sponge’. This past month, I saw my first sponge crab (huge! carapace almost a foot wide). It was on a night dive with Dustin of Blue Mango. This thing [...]
It started simply enough at Cocolocos with Denis, then to Red Pirates where I saw Sally for the first time in months (still cool as hell and cute as it gets). Didn’t know it at the time but I stayed there until midnight before meeting up with Daniel and Remus at Juice Bar. 00:30 – [...]
There was this guy that left today….lets call him Lance…mostly because that’s his name. Well, this happinin’ cool cat spent a good amount of time here for his vacation and decided to throw a going-away party for himself after a month of dutiful service on the island. I found out the night before but everyone [...]
too lazy to update.. waaay too lazy, so here’s a bulleted list: fly-paper sheets are an excellent deterrent for cats trying to get into your house, and funny as hell also illnesses were going around the island for a few weeks, a few people got hit twice been raining a lot lately on Boracay the [...]
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.
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 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 [...]
I swear, I must have a new tapeworm because I’m friggin starving! No joke, I am hungry as hell and I NEVER get hungry. I like to eat….a lot. I enjoy it possibly more than sex. I mean, I reaaaaaly like to eat. I can eat a lot at a single sitting but don’t usually [...]
I don’t really remember when I started but it was around 04:30 when I woke up and left for Isla Baila, which is still closed for construction, which is OK because I had a tab there. So heck, now I’m just gonna have to bar-hop my way down the beach to all those tiny hotel [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
