How are you doing President Noynoy?
Well, my name is Reyna Elena. I was your number one supporter during the election, attacked by an unbelievable online hatred during the campaign because of my support for your presidency. Aherrm!
Oh, by the way, I thought I’d share this with you.
Here is my Elementary School in Castilla, Sorsogon. This picture was taken last week by my friend from Amsterdam. It’s one Uragon building. One unbelievable technology. The best. Western standards will drool at how mini, major and super-typhoons blasted that building away …

During the term of Richard Gordon as mayor of Olongapo City, there were at least 26 cases of “salvagings” or summary executions that victimized at least 28 people. The killings were believed to have been made to cleanse the city of undesirable elements and maintain its allure as the center for the R & R of US servicemen.
Olongapo officials dismissed such as “isolated incidents involving hardened criminals whose death were mainly due to gang rivalry”, it is a matter of public record that the victims were mostly …

I hate political advertisements. To me it’s just a waste of money that should be spent elsewhere. I would like the candidates to spend their election funds on projects that would be beneficial to people in need.
Officially, I have no candidates yet. I’m still busy looking through candidates with my personal magnifying glass. There are the political ads, with their shots at informing the electorate of their platform, if there ever was one, but mostly their faces and their attempt of projecting themselves as candidates, pathetic as it …

War is not like a hollywood blockbuster. A soldier is not an action hero. Outside the statistics and the news-worthy portrayals, there are deeply personal issues that most of us don’t see.

This was the funnest and most adventure-filled summer my family and I have ever had.  It was also the most documented and most expensive.  We visited and enjoyed some of the best places that both Iowa and Western Washington have to offer.  From Adventureland, to the Amanas.  From Mt.Rainier, to Lake Quinault.  From Ichiro, to Lea Salonga.  And to finish it off, we went to our annual religous obligation—the Puyallup Fair.
The state fair is a 20-day summer affair in Washington and one of the biggest in the U.S.  It features  the biggest, the fattest, the …

By 2025, as many as one fifth of all animal species may be lost
Growing up in the ghettos of Manila, the biggest “wildlife” I got to see was the rat that ate all my hamsters and scared the badest cats in the neighborhood .  In general, anything that moved and didn’t carry diseases was considered food.  And if it is ”wild”, it’s a delicacy. 
Coming to the U.S., I anticipated seeing neon lights on skycrapers in the vastness of paved metropolis.  And then I ended up in Iowa…
My wife introduced me to …

I spent the whole day today trying to monitor what’s going on in Manila. I could not talk to anyone how’s Ortigas Avenue along Rosario to Sta. Lucia to Cainta Junction. Alam nyo naman, andun ang barong-barong ko and I was of course nervous if the place was also inundated. Instead, I saw this one on GMA News TV which I am re-posting baka naman meron pang iba dyan who is in the same situation with me. Eto yong mga lugar na binaha sa Metropolitan Manila.

I woke up this morning reading news and blogs until I saw pictures of what’s going on in Manila. I was shocked! I lived and worked in New Orleans for about 6 months and although I did not experienced Katrina, these pictures reminds me of what happened to the city.
You can track the storm here: Weather Channel

Let me just post the pictures I saw on Manuel L. Quezon’s site. Pictures tell more. Apologies to MLQ3, but these pictures were posted without his permission! Haha!
