I lived there… this sort of thing never used to happened… at all. Well, the stoners standing around not doing much, yea, that was always the norm. Anyone have feelings for this douche-bag State Trooper that just happens to be off duty while wearing a tac-vest?
A friend sent me this and all I can say is… WTF? Are these guys really taking souvenir ”Hero-Shots” in broad daylight with two of them smiling…? wow. just, wow.
Source I have not heard anything about this at all – but it’s in the news. MANILA, Philippines – A German citizen drowned after suffering a heart attack while swimming in the waters of the popular tourist destination Boracay Island, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported Monday.

Got up early Sunday for some swimming and snorkeling before the homies started acting like opening day at a trailer-park swimming pool…about 5:30 or 6am. Annnnnnd….brownout, just as I step outside. No bother, not going to be home anyway. Out swimming around was pretty good although visibility was poor. Got about 1.5 kilometers out and [...]

Although local media misrepresented it with stories about no tourists [...]
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 [...]
Bunch of foreigners getting killed in the Philippines, and these are just the ones that got away.

Theres been another crash by Zest Air at the Caticlan airport that serves as entrance to Boracay. Although no-one was hurt this time, its a troubeling trend for the airliner. In the January 2009 crash, (truly a crash), they painted over all the Zest Air markings and colors within hours of impact. Seems that almost [...]
