Start of a new journey...

I surrender to the power of tongits - (and the distinct lack of finances for endless ladies drinks...) OK, in all fareness, when the curtains are finally closed on the Red Garter bar, I would love to be able to drive the bulldozer!

Pope Francis; we love you! God speed!!

Time for a new status update - without any rude words in it... Life is good!!

Hey. Fuck you Globe Telecom. And Fuck the NTC. "You may have experienced temporary loss of mobile signal and internet connection...This was done in complianance with the directive of the NTC. We hope for yoy understanding...." Well Globe Telecom and the NTC can kiss my fucking arse.

The only "normal" in the Philippines is yet another holiday!

I do like LastMinute.com but I so wish they wouldn't insist on addressing follow-up emails to me like this: "Hey Rolfe, we've got some great things for you to do in %%=Propercas..." I can just about tolerate being addressed with "Hey!" - But my name is VIC

On our way to Vietnam. That will be a first for me... Never been there before!

Ang sagot ko sa mga hindi na kailangan na text message... Options. Delete.

Out on good behavior for the weekend... Back to school on Monday.

Just about to begin 4 hours of fire drills and training first thing on a Saturday morning. Here we are in Subic for Christmas and the New Year - and we'd have been much better off out on a job.

Funny, it seems like only 12 days since I was last here! Cable Retriever na naman...

Suspect area (LPA) to the East of Mindanao... http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ABPW10.RAW.html

You know you are back in Manila when the baggage carousel is full of Cartonite!

No complaints. No take a number... Same-same but different. It's better than Manila! )

Heading for home!

From the JTWC this morning: "As expected, the system will continue to gradually weaken due to land interaction as well as increased shear. There is the possibility that the system will still maintain typhoon intensity upon reaching the South China Sea by tau 120."

"The GFS, HWRF, and COAMPS models have been consistently showing the system moving poleward through the weakness in the str. The European models, navgem, and GFDN favor a westward track into central Philippines." http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/western-pacific/2014/hurricane-Hagupit?text=disc

Ever since I was bitten by a horse, I have not been over fond of them... However, one does have to accept the fact that not all horses were necessarily created equal?!!
