i hope i get to do this one day, from such same heights.  then i'd get to see clouds and endless mountains to conquer, though i'll just let them be.  no buildings, please.  just trees and mists.  and no, i won't jump.  i can fly.

hi, roger.  welcome.  don't just pass by; stay and enjoy.  i hope it's "roger on that" and never "over and out" with you here.  now, get ready to laugh with us.

di lagi ko familiar sa tipas nga brand... nagdako lang gyod ko sa la fortuna brand sa cebu nga tops gyod ever since, from hopia to salbaro.  nakaapas-apas ang eng bee.  bitaw, di pod ko kasabot sa baboy nga hopia; a bit sweetened, and i never saw a sliver of pork.  i suspect nga ang baboy ani ang mantika ra.  

but i'm partial to ube and pandan hopia (the violet and green ones, as pictured).  i turn to hopia kun kaawayon ko ni banana republic.  pun-on nako akong baba, da, di lagi kalihok akong apapangig kay nitapot ang hopia sa alingagngag.

Runners in Manila dodge an army of 300 zombies on a five kilometre course of death. Report by Adam Sich.

interesting kun mao.  mora diay ug ang ordinaryong kuwitis gihimong falling star?  i'll look for this claim just the same, out of curiosity.

one can walk a few meters on a sunny day in a lower middle-class neighborhood in manila, away from tony gated communities, and one can see why the metropolis is easy prey to flooding.  most of the iron grill covers of manholes for sewerage are gone, stolen.  what are in their place?  non-biodegradable trash, mostly those ubiquitous plastic bags.

some articles say that although it didn't try to match beijing's spectacle (2,008 drummers, for instance), london's made beijing's opening ceremonies irrelevant.  i have of course other reasons for swallowing this hook, line and sinker.

David Beckham accompanied the Olympic Torch into Stratford, on a speedboat

Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins started the Opening Ceremony by ringing the giant Olympic Bell

there was bond, yes, james bond (daniel craig), a beatle (paul mcartney), and beckham (the original metrosexual).  how very b (british).  even the great director of the opening ceremonies spectacle is a b (danny boyle of "slumdog millionaire" fame).  so is mr bean. 

among many actors who participated in the opening performances, there were special guest appearances by many important brits. the inventor of the world wide web was there--- sir tim berners-lee.  and of course, the queen.

the great britannia showed its exports to the world in that spectacular olympics opening ceremony.

ugh.  sorry i'm wrong.  by "mission" the news item meant the athletic mission after all, not the diplomatic mission.  i stand (or sit) corrected.  thus, those in the parade are also manny lopez, chief of mission (not the philippine ambassador to great britain).  a rereading of the text:

Behind Diaz, also a veteran of the Beijing Olympics, marched chief of mission Manny Lopez, Philippine Olympic Committee chair Monico Puentevella, shooting chief Mikee Romero and the athletes’ coaches. (http://sports.inquirer.net/)

it gets uncomfortable when some mainstays here suddenly "disappear" for a period, that's why.  (because we don't know much about each other and have no other contact outside of this forum, we tend to imagine the what-could-be-happening kind... besides, would you believe, i actually knew vrglguaps since way back.  i looked long and hard at his pictures, imagined how he would have looked years ago, and began asking.  he is who i thought he is.  i knew vrglguaps after all.  maayong tawo na siya.)

11 athletes ra man diay ang atong gipadala.  (the flag bearer in the picture is our weightlifting olympian.)

The country had sent a lean delegation to London, its smallest in recent years, led by swimmers Jessie King Lacuna and Jasmine Alkhaldi and Marestella Torres and Rene Herrera in athletics.

The other members of the Philippine contingent are shooter Paul Brian Rosario, judoka Tomohiko Hoshina, weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, BMX rider Daniel Caluag, archers Rachel Ann Cabral and Mark Javier and boxer Mark Anthony Barriga. (http://manilastandardtoday.com/)

olympians si manong ug manang on the left side of the picture?  or maybe, chaperons?  hinaot unta nga wa na pod ani nilay mo-disappear in london after the olympics kay mag-tnt.  some records of our previous olympics delegations bear hiding our heads in shame, not for sports performance but in disappearances.

circa 2000

The actor battled serious addictions to cocaine, heroin and other drugs. Between 1996 and 2001, Downey was arrested a number of times, and had several stints in drug rehab and in prison. As a result, his very promising career suffered, as producers were not really interested in hiring an otherwise brilliant actor who may at any moment get arrested again for his chronic drug habit.



But since his release from rehab in July 2002, Downey has stayed clean and is currently riding the wave of what could be one of the most amazing Hollywood comebacks of all time. On top of the insanely successful Iron Man, Downey has also scored an Oscar nomination for his turn as an Australian Method actor obsessed with his African-American role in Tropic Thunder. Projects are lined up left and right, and Downey is enjoying the high levels of success that he was always destined for.

they are in their lanes at least, it is as if they're arranged like cornrows.  in manila, there are too many cars in four lanes.

time will help me get over the bittersweet memory of puppee, but it was one scene related to her that may haunt me forever. 

once, i brought breakfast leftovers of rice, fish and meat loaf, which i've mixed and pressed with my bare hands.  i placed the plastic bowl in front of puppee, but before she could help herself to her dog food for the day, a lethargic white-haired woman walking by suddenly picked up the bowl and ate the food meant for the dog.  puppee, ever the bright-eyed gentle dog that she was, simply looked.  i was too stunned to react.  then the woman, with eyes downcast, disappeared as suddenly as she came.  i never saw her again.

strangely, it was one instance of dog feeding when i forgot to mix canned dog food with the leftovers.  but thinking this to reassure myself is puny at best.  it's simply impossible to get over that scene.   

it was the pet dog of a homeless guy that made my adjustment to living in manila easier.  every morning at 9, i went out to bring food and water for the dog who was tied to a water meter grill at a sidewalk.  i kept the routine for months until i sent the dog named puppee and his owner to the latter's home province in mindanao.  i saved for their logistics, from their fare, pocket money, to the dog's vaccinations and permit to travel. 

all was well for a while, until i learned about 3 weeks ago that puppee was nowhere.  they suspect he was stolen and slaughtered for food by a neighbor known as a dog eater.  until now something in me still hopes to get a text message saying that puppee had been found.


a b@sterd had slaughtered puppee the good dog
