My first moonshot
Just got addicted to photography and this is my very first moonshot…

Starting the month ‘cold’
I did promised HWC for support but I failed them… It was like feeling an itch on my throat that’s not willing to stop from scratching. My wife once asked me if I did gave the footballs and I told them soon… I often go to Asian Hospital anyway so I may have some time to visit the HWC address that Mr. Formoso gave me. Actually, I kept the address on my phone, and a reminder that says… ‘Jay, the footballs for HWC…’

P6.93M Contingency Fund and an Underequipped PNP
he Philippine National Police delegates to Russia were provided by the Philippine government 6.93 million pesos as contingency fund. A fund, just in case, will be used for emergency purposes in Russia. That’s it, 6.93 Million Pesos as emergency fund for some PNP generals.
Possibly for a purchase of tons of caviar and thousands of liters of vodka.
As we all know, there are about 20% of the PNP personnel who have no guns. The SWAT patrol car of Calamba City PNP looks more like a push cart to me than a Toyota FX. A police outpost in Cabuyao is more like a ‘tambayan’ than an outpost.

Annie
Well, as this lady was so ‘versed’ with some medical terms, she then suddenly offered to Ella (and to my sister) a 30-day massage session package. I was hesitant at first but Ella already decided to take the package. With the massage package, she claimed that it can cure a lot of illness like hypertension, stress, heart attack, etc… and that’s it!
Smart Rob
I decided to subscribe to the pre-paid broadband service from Smart Communications to speedup my communication to my potential customers. This is the one the you connect a wireless modem (or whatever that is) to your computer via USB port and with a 3G signal… tada! you are now connected to the internet…
A Year That Was
A year and a day since I last blogged. Things have happened, some bad… most were good. Some were just plain stupidity, most were fun…
Meet Ridgy Vicars
I saw her surrounded by people who were listening to her story… Though quite a common sight for me, the stories of these individuals almost always struck me. Hookers raided and sent back to Manila or a Mom desperately rushed back home to see an ailling child or a maid maltreated and escaped with nothing but a prayer.
I am an OFW and whatever that means is to other people, I am sick and tired of being one. Although the pay is more than the usual in Manila, the price I pay for being away from my family for a period of time is a punishment. The only thing that keeps me going is my family.
And for other OFWs, it is crossing a very thin line between survival and death.
