SPACE ALIENS

1952; Strange happening at Lucena station!

MANILA, Friday.

A 27,-years-old woman, reported to have attacked people to eat their flesh and suck their blood, has been gaoled -in Lucena in Iliolo Province, it was announced to-day.

? Estelita Flarencio, the alleged vampire, was arrested in Lucena after she attacked first an old woman and then a child.
She was charged with causing serious physical injuries. Mana Sobremisana, aged 80, complained to police that Estelita had bitten off a portion of her arm.

After attacking the old woman, Ëstelita allegedly seized a small boy playing in a railway station.
She bumped his head on the concrete floor, then lifted him biting his. face and body and drinking the blood flowing from the wounds. A crowd rescued the child and seized Estelita.

Mr. Martin Sollesta, Mayor of Lucena, said that while being questioned Estelita swallowed the flesh bitten off the old woman and exclaimed "It was delicious."
He added Estelita confessed the craving for human flesh and blood.
She also confessed to having attacked persons in other towns to satisfy her vampire urge.

~~ HARDEN THE **** UP ~~

Some sound advice here for those whinging, lying, gossiping, backstabbing, scheming, using betraying, complaining, story telling, bitching, moaning, assaulting human vermin of the local community.

As told by Chopper Reed Ronnie Johns!
Helps to have a good sense of humour to :-)

Bayani Fernando

The 2010 Presidential race begins!

Under a cloud of stupidy that is Joseph Estrada's continuing hints that he will again run for president, we have a rather large bunch of presidential hopefuls.

While I am hopeful that one of the favourites, Noli de Castro, gets the top position, there is a very good chance someone else will sadly achieve this goal.

One of them is Bayani Fernando who has been bollocking on about building ROADS ROADS ROADS. See HERE

Dear Mr Fernando, roads are not the answer. Get with modern global thinking.
Why has there been no mention of railways as yet?

But is Mr Fernando all good?
Is he the type of person suitable for leading the Philippines into a bright new future.
Lets look at his ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD

~~ TESTING TESTING ~~

Am testing out the new camera again.

Am headed to Newcastle photographing shortly and want to know what I am doing with it.

Couple more trial shots over the next few days.

Would be interested in your thoughts.

A garden friend!

~~ MATTY JOHNS ~~

* The Cronulla football club board met in emergency session yesterday, they're trying to work out why they get more spectators to a gang bang than one of their home games.

* The NRL have stopped all investigations into the Matty Johns sex scandal, as the Kiwi woman has come forward and admitted she was unaware of the interchange rule.

* The real name of the woman involved has been released, it's Joyce Mayne. - you take what you like now and don't pay for 7 years.

* The Bulldogs have come to Matt Johns defence, and have stated that it is quite easy to get caught out with 14 players on the pitch.

* Matty Johns has been sacked from his role as co- host the Footy Show, but 5 of his ex team mates said they are happy to fill in, while 6 will be happy to be in audience.

* The Kiwi woman should have just lain their quietly while Matty did the deed. Everyone knows that thrashing around and screaming will only attract other Sharks.

GOODBYE

CHARLES 'BUD' TINGWELL

1923 - 2009

Woke this morning to the very sad news that Charles Tingwell had passed away this morning from postate cancer.
It is through his later work in Aussie comedy that I have got to experience this great actor and this tribute looks at bits and pieces of this.
Australia has lost another great person :-(








FROM WIKIPEDIA

Early life and military service

Tingwell was born in Coogee, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; as an adolescent, he was encouraged by his father to be an accountant, but failed the entrance exam. He found work as a junior radio announcer at Sydney radio station 2CH in 1941 but not long after volunteered for Royal Australian Air Force.

He trained as a pilot in Canada during 1942 under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Despite damaging a Harvard trainer in August 1942, he qualified as a Pilot Officer in December 1942. He served with No.74 Operational Conversion Unit in British Palestine and qualified to fly the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire. He was posted to No. 680 Squadron RAF and flew 75 photo-reconnaissance sorties in Hurricanes and Spitfires during the North African Campaign. He was also type qualified on the Bristol Blenheim, Martin Baltimore, Bristol Beaufighter, de Havilland Mosquito and Airspeed Oxford. He was promoted to Flying Officer in June 1943 and Flight Lieutenant in December 1944.^[10] On demobilisation in 1946 he was awarded the 1939-45 Star, Italy Star and Defence Medal. He remained a reservist into the 1950s.

After returning to Australia, he married his childhood sweetheart, Audrey. He also began to seriously consider a career in film, which had been a passion of his before the war.

Acting career

In 1946, Tingwell won his first film role, as a control tower officer in the film Smithy. He took on several roles over the next few years, increasing in stature, until he caught the attention of Hollywood in 1952, and won the part of Lt. Harry Carstairs in the film The Desert Rats, alongside Chips Rafferty, James Mason and Richard Burton.

After filming The Desert Rats, Tingwell stayed in Australia for three years, making three films, including King of the Coral Sea, which also featured Rafferty. In 1956, Tingwell moved to England. The following year, he took on his first recurring television role, playing Australian surgeon Alan Dawson in the live television serial Emergency - Ward 10. He also won the role of Inspector Craddock in all four films of the Miss Marple film series starring Margaret Rutherford, between 1961 and 1964.

In the later 1960s, he performed various minor voice roles for the Gerry Anderson shows Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet as well as appearing in the first series of cult television show Catweazle.

Tingwell made numerous other films while in England, spending a total of 16 years as a 'London Aussie' ^[11] , but in 1973, returned to Australia with his wife and children, and soon after, won the role of Inspector Reg Lawson on the long-running series Homicide. This was followed by small roles in a number of major Australian films, such as Breaker Morant, Puberty Blues and All The Rivers Run.

His career went through a quiet period throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, until he took on the role of a grandfather in a recurring segment for the satirical series The Late Show in 1993. He was awarded the prestigious Gold Logie Hall of Fame award in 1994. His role in The Late Show was later to win him a major role as lawyer Lawrence Hammill in the major 1997 film The Castle. He later said that this role helped him recover from the death of his wife not long before.

After the success of The Castle, Tingwell's career underwent a revival during the late 1990s and early 2000s. This saw him take on small roles in commercial films The Craic and The Dish, the mini-series Changi, as well as the lead in the romance Innocence.

Tingwell also had a recurring guest role in the soap opera Neighbours in 2000 and 2003, playing "Henry O'Rourke".

'Bud' Tingwell appeared as "John Conroy" in the musical theatre production The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular, which toured Australian capital cities twice during 2002.

In 2006 Bud successfully launched his own website with over 500 registered users in just over a week. On 5 October 2006 he launched his first blog. Bud encouraged fans to visit the site and share their thoughts on his life and career.

Until his death, Tingwell was still acting regularly, alternating between theatre, film and television. Most recently, he has hosted ratings winners Celebrity Circus, and 20 to 1. He appeared on a Celebrity special of Temptation with his daughter Virginia. Just before his death, he was acting in a number of television programs and films which are in-production.

~~ KATE AND LEO-BOY RETURN TO TITANIC ~~

Many are surprised to learn I have more hobbies than just railways, or 'Thomas The Tank Engine' as the aswang like to so childishly put it.

I have long has a fetish for the Titanic as well, the famous ship that sunk in 1912, causing a huge loss of life, the numbers of which I don't think have been beaten to this day.

The story of the Titanic, truth or otherwise, has been told many, MANY times in books, television and on the big screen.
Quite possibly the best book version was written by a school teacher, the name of whom escapes me, who was on the Titanic that fateful night and became one of the lucky few survivors.

The best movie however, if you can ignore the bollocks of Kate Winslet (though it is hard to ignore that breastical shot) and prise twat Leonardo, was the blockbuster 'TITANIC' from a couple of years ago.
While all the Jack and, 'whats her name' stuff is pure fictional bollocks and there is no huge gem dumped in the ocean by the much older whats her name, everything that went on around them seems to have been researched very well and gives a true depiction of it all, right down to the little kid playing with the top.

Recently I was talking to one of the readers of this site about the Titanic and if anyone still survives.
I have since found out that the last survivor still breaths in the UK, having been 2 months old at the time of the disaster.

The last survivor, Millvina Dean, who is struggling to pay the fees of a nursing home she has been in since breaking her hip around three years ago, has found help in the Kate and Leo, who have thrown their support behind a fund to help pay her fees.

This is such wonderful news and certainly puts these actors in a new light for me, because Millvina Dean would have to be a true worldwide historical treasure.

Lets all hope she has many years ahead.

~~ THE JUNE JOKEFEST ~~

with a photo of international funnyman Damir!

-------------------------------------------------

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get to the other side!

HO HO HO HA HA HA HA

Yes that one is a popular joke back in my home town.

Hello there, I am a photo of popular Serbian funnyman Damir and as such do not pretend to be the actual real person.

Having recently won first prize in the 'Bronwyn Bishop Comedy Awards' and recieving top marks in the 'John Howard Comedy College', I was asked to host this years 'Manila Downunder June Jokefest'.
It is an incredible honour for any photo and I shall do my best to bring you the funniest jokes from around the world, even more funny than my chicken joke above - yes that funny.

In a world where human vermin spread gossip, people can be locked up for threatening government officials and taxi drivers are allowed to roam freely, I think we need to take out time for a good laugh.

So join me through June as we have enough laughs to make you accidently follow through.

Now before I go, let me leave you with one more joke!

Q: Did you here about the tennis stars dad who threatened the Australian Ambassador with a rocket!
A: SIGHHHHHHHHHHHH The police did!

AS DEATHS DARKNESS DESCENDS UPON ME

I WILL WIDELY SMILE AS I WILL NOW BE FREE

THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE IT MORE

WOULD BE TO TAKE THE SCUM WITH ME TO HEAVENS DOOR!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

To all my dear friends who have popped out people parcels!

Hope you all have a great day!

A NEW TOY

Hope Rachel Cabanossi dosen't report me to Centerlink for payment fraud, I mean, how can one go getting a new camera on all those Centerlink handouts. Surely there must be some fraud going on.

OK, I suppose it is my turn to prove myself a hypocrite as well. I have said for quite some time that I would be sticking to film only and not going down the digital SLR path. Besides, I don't like the quality of digital, it is to sharp, I don't like the idea of your important images being stored electronically, film cameras are far more rugged and, well quite frankly, I don't particularly like change all that much.
Regardless of this, I went out and got myself a EOS 1000D. Not the top of the range camera, but it is no piece of bollocks either. The last few months of saving up those dole cheques has really been beneficial and I look forward to experimenting with it between now and the time I reach my much anticipated end of existence.
Like the Fuji contraption before it, this is going to take some getting use to. However Canon, unlike many people, will not usually let you down.

I took the opportunity early this morning to head down to the airport and give it a bit of a test run. If I am to take it to Vietnam this year (god bless dole cheques) I want to be ready to give it the thrashing of its life.
The Fuji was about to pack it in on my last ever trip to the Philippines in 2007, but it held it together. The Canon has big shoes to fill.

Anyway the following collection were taken early this morning. Feel free to email me any comments on the shots as I strive to get better at aviation photography.

Air New Zealand takes off from the third runway and immediately banks to the east and, well not surprisingly, New Zealand.

Watch the sprinkler Brooooooooooock - oh well, to late!

Now normally I hate security guards almost as much as I hate human vermin, however this poor bastard had to slowly push this car from one end of the runway to the other.
Despite this - he was still friendly to me when he passed.
Wanted to help, but passing the fence would get me shot nowdays.

Virgins everywhere.
One is leaving while another arrives.
Waited bloody ages to try to get this sort of shot which is occasionally seen in such good reads as 'Aviation Australia'.

Mascot residents see the black smoke all the time, most wondering where the hell it is coming from.
Now you know - they practise putting out fires between the bay and third runways.

I usually don't photograph anything Philippine related nowdays, it is a topic that really turns me off at the moment. However I saw a plane approaching Qantas Drive and by the time I saw who owned it, I had already got out of the car.
So what the heck! As it turned out, it was one I needed anyway.

The A380 is admitedly impressive, but for all round style, grace and beauty, I still think Boeing's 747 dumps a steamy one all over the Airbus product.
It will indeed be a sad day that they stop building these beautiful birds.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed these few shots from the new camera.
There will obviously be far more in the future.
For more shots taken today you can check out my 'Semi-Retired Foamer' website later on tomorrow.

Best wishes
Brad

RAMPANT HYPOCRISY - IMMENSE STUPIDITY

Hello and welcome to another Tanduay fueled moment of truth and reality on Manila Downunder, Australia's most controversial Filipino website. Brought to you by Tanduay, KFC and the fact the asawa is at a Filipino party.
"Oh heck"! Yes I can hear the collective groans from those feeling a little guilty that I may be aiming at them, those who are worried that I may reveal more than is good for them, or perhaps just go the full chunder on everyone.

RELAX- I am not aiming this at anyone. I am just giving a broad 'personal' observation on things that have become seemingly commonplace in the south eastern Sydney Filo community. Attitudes that can be quite amusing, if not significantly sad, from an outsiders point of view.

CREDIBILITY! It is something that most of this little community strive to have, but something that can never really be achieved, when hypocrisy, backstabbing and gossip form the basis of so many friendships, no, not friendships, I don't think such things do exist, not in the true Aussie meaning of friendship, perhaps acquaintances is a better term.
It would seem that the person with the least credibility can be identified easily, they usually being the one who says they have this regularity. You can guarantee following such statement, they will be off to the local Filo shop with gossip, or perhaps hanging out with friends who's morals, not 4 weeks before, were not something their credibility could tolerate.

As someone who now watches from the sidelines, I am often amused, yeah, hmmmm I think amused is the word, by the endless hypocrisy that consumes the local Filo society.
One of the best is those who hate someone, showing an ultra friendly attitude towards them and attending their parties.
This is an extremely common going on and leads you to wonder who really is your friend. I mean, if someone sees really genuinely glad to see you, is this the case, or are they just faking it to later go on and back stab you.
Yes you may laugh, but it is very, VERY common. How well do you know those who make you feel you are friends.

Another particularly good one is the accusing someone of something that isn't true, but in secret, they are doing the exact same thing.
For example, blaming someone of bludging money - when they themselves can't get by and have to make huge loans of friends and family members.

One sec - must obtain another Tanduay!!

OK, OK, now its time for my favourite act of hypocrisy.
People in the community will go around, stab you in the back, gossip about you, spread lies and the like, but then appear horrified that you would have the gaul to stand up to them. Its like the end of the world, that you would take a swipe at their credibility , or lack thereof, at their ego, at their standing.
They truly have such high opinions of themselves,that they just can't comprehend those people, those lesser and inferior people, standing up to them.

GOD - GIVE ME STRENGTH!

I'm sorry, but I am not interested in that bullshit.
Stand up and have some guts! If you don't like someone, don't hide it, have the guts to show it.
If you have a problem with a friend, don't give bullshit excuses, don't go whinging to someone else. BLOODY GO AND TALK TO THE PERSON IN QUESTION!

What sort of wankers do we make ourselves and our fellow community look like with such excessive stupidity and carrying on.
Its time to wake up, treat each other with the respect (or lack of) that each of us deserves and have the GUTS TO ACCEPT THE BULLSHIT YOU HAVE CAUSED and not cry off with lies to others because you have been struck back at.

Thank you for your time.

Coming soon, a fictional story I have written about an assault in Marrickville RSL. Purely fictional, any similarity to persons or actual events will be purely coincidental.

Go on now, run off and enjoy yourself.
The planet doesn't have much time left.

THIS MORNING I WAKE WITH PAIN IN MY HEART

EMPTINESS IN MY SOUL

I FINALLY REALISE THAT IN LIFE

DEATH IS MY ONE TRUE GOAL

HOW WOULD YOU KILL YOURSELF?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

RGirl	posted 17-Feb-2006 8:59pm I hear that suffocating yourself with gas fumes in your car is a pretty easy way to go. What about death by cop? But I might go for drowning since that's what Virginia Woolf did I really like her. Gun to the head would mean a lot of gruesome for some one to stumble upon. Hanging can talk awhile if you don't do it right. Slit wrists, depends on how you do it. Even if you do it right you still have to wait to die. Drug and medication overdose can take awhile and be painful. Burned alive is just masochistic. Jumping I couldn't dare do. I'd have to hire some one to push me. I think I'd go for the gas fumes.
Enheduanna	posted 17-Feb-2006 9:09pm Lots and lots of drugs. But otherwise car fumes in an enclosed space, garage or small carpark. You just go to sleep and not wake up. Has to be better than a gun to the head blowing your brains across a wall for the family to find.
longhaultrucker	posted 17-Feb-2006 10:10pm I would drive about 100 miles per hour and drive straight into a gas hauling big rig with no seat belt, or i could just unhook my emergency trailer lines and slam on the brakes and jack knife my trailer until it snaps off on a steep curve and roll to my death but that is painful and i might survive in a wheel chair on life support

Hated by many in the Botany Bay Filipino community for it's adherence to TRUTH, HONESTY and ACCURACY IN REPORTING, it has become the target for violence, death threats, false reports to the police and lies to friends about content in an effort to loose those friendships.

The following is from a British journalist stationed in the Philippines.His observations are so hilarious!

Matter of Taste

by Matthew Sutherland

I have now been in this country for over six years, and consider myself in most respects well-assimilated. However, there is one key step on the road to full assimilation which I have yet to take,and that's to eat BALUT.

The day any of you sees me eating balut, please call immigration and ask them to issue me a Filipino passport, because at that point there will be no turning back. BALUT, for those still blissfully ignorant non-Pinoys out there, is a fertilized duck egg. It is commonly sold with salt in a piece of newspaper, much like English fish and chips, by street vendors usually after dark, presumably so you can't see how gross it is.

It's meant to be an aphrodisiac, although I can't imagine anything more likely to dispel sexual desire than crunching on a partially-formed baby duck swimming in noxious fluid. The embryo in the egg comes in varying stages of development, but basically it is not considered macho to eat one without fully discernable feathers, beak, and claws. Some say these crunchy bits are the best.

Others prefer just to drink the so-called 'soup', the vile, pungent liquid that

surrounds the aforementioned feathery fetus...excuse me, I have to go and throw up now. I'll be back in a minute.

Food dominates the life of the Filipino. People here just love to eat. They eat at least eight times a day. These eight official meals are called, in order: breakfast, snacks, lunch, merienda, pica-pica, pulutan, dinner, and

no-one-saw-me-take-that-cookie-from-the-fridge-so-it-doesn't-count.

The short gaps in between these mealtimes are spent eating Sky Flakes from the open packet that sits on every desktop.

You're never far from food in the Philippines. If you doubt this, next time you're driving home from work, try this game. See how long you can drive without seeing food and I don't mean a distant restaurant, or a picture of food. I mean a man on the

sidewalk frying fish balls, or a man walking through the traffic selling nuts or candy. I bet it's less than one minute.

Here are some other things I've noticed about food in the Philippines.

Firstly, a meal is not a meal without rice-even breakfast. In the UK, I could go a whole year without eating rice. Second, it's impossible to drink without eating. A bottle of San Miguel just isn't the same without gambas or beef tapa. Third, no one ventures more than two paces from their house without baon and a container of something cold to drink.

You might as well ask a Filipino to leave home without his pants on. And lastly, where I come from, you eat with a knife and fork. Here, you eat with a spoon and fork. You try eating rice swimming in fish sauce with a knife.

One really nice thing about Filipino food culture is that people always ask you to SHARE their food. In my office, if you catch anyone attacking their baon, they will always go, "Sir! KAIN TAYO!" ("Let's eat!"). This confused me, until I realized that they didn't actually expect me to sit down and start munching on their boneless bangus.

In fact, the polite response is something like, "No thanks, I just ate." But the principle is sound if you have food on your plate you are expected to share it, however hungry you are, with those who may be even hungrier.

I think that's great. In fact, this is frequently even taken one step further.

Many Filipinos use "Have you eaten yet?" ("KUMAIN KA NA?") as a general greeting, irrespective of time of day or location.

Some foreigners think Filipino food is fairly dull compared to other Asian cuisines. Actually lots of it is very good: Spicy dishes like Bicol Express (strange, a dish named after a train); anything cooked with coconut milk; anything KINILAW; and anything ADOBO. And it's hard to beat the sheer wanton, cholesterholic frenzy of a good old-fashioned LECHON de leche feast.

Dig a pit, light a fire, add 50 pounds of animal fat on a stick, and cook until crisp. Mmm, mmm... you can actually feel your arteries constricting with each successive mouthful.

I also share one key Pinoy trait ---a sweet tooth!! I am thus theonly foreigner I know who does not complain about sweet bread, sweet burgers, sweet spaghetti, sweet banana ketchup, and so on. I am a man who likes to put jam on his pizza. Try it! It's the weird food you want to avoid.

In addition to duck fetus in the half-shell, items to avoid in the Philippines include pig's blood soup (DINUGUAN);

bull's testicle soup,the strangely-named "SOUP NUMBER FIVE" (I dread to

think what numbers one to four are); and the ubiquitous, stinky shrimp paste, BAGOONG, and it's equally stinky sister, PATIS. Filipinos are so addicted to these

latter items that they will even risk arrest or deportation trying to smuggle them into countries like Australia and the USA, which wisely ban the importation of items you can smell from more than 100 paces.

Then there's the small matter of the blue ice cream. I have never been able to get my brain around eating blue food; the ubiquitous UBE leaves ube cold.

And lastly on the subject of weird food, beware: that KALDERETANG KAMBING (goat) could well be KALDERETANG ASO (dog)...

The Filipino, of course, has a well-developed sense of food. Here's a typical Pinoy food joke: "I'm on a seafood diet"!

"What's a seafood diet?"

"When I see food, I eat it!"

Filipinos also eat strange bits of animals, the feet, the head, the guts, etc., usually barbecued on a stick. These have been given witty names, like "ADIDAS"

(chicken's feet); "KURBATA" (either just chicken's neck, or "neck and thigh" as in

"neck-tie"); "WALKMAN" (pigs ears); "PAL" (chicken wings); "HELMET" (chicken

head); "IUD" (chicken intestines), and BETAMAX" (video-cassette-like

blocks of animal blood).

Yum yum. Bon appetit.

~~ CHINATOWNS BIG FILIPINO ~~
INVASION

Howdee all and sundry and welcome to our look at Chinatown during a recent adventure. Chinatown, at the south end of Sydney City is known for its food, supposed bargains, endless hornbags and good ol Paddy Markets.

After our visit to the Star Wars exhibition we decided to meet up with my hornbag cousins Riza and Reizel for a look through the famous Paddys, as well as a look at the local hornbag wildlife, of which there is much.

Please enjoy our following selection of piccies of this day.
Have the Tena pads at the ready - the excitment may be a tad to much to bare.

Nice of her to put on a display for us.

Well it would be preferable to fries!

A monorail at Chinatown!

There is always something tasty at Chinatown.

Reizel has an Aussie icon!

The gang at Market City.

A sleepy hornbag!

A T-Shirt on sale!

Saucy!!!

Paddys icecream van!

Pardon me?

Chinatown locals!

The now famous Paddys building!

UTS in the late afternoon.

AFTER SUCH A GREAT DAY OUT
IT WAS AGAIN TIME FOR SOME MORE THEROPY!

And what better a way than a good ol fashioned folder full burning!

What an awesome feeling!
Goodbye to my old miserable and empty life!

~~ CONGRATULATIONS MANNY ~~

~~ PHILIPPINE PRIDE ~~

I am an unashamed fan of Charisse Pempengco, believing she has far more potential than everyone else's beloved Sarah Geronasomething or other.
Her new song that appears every second moment even fills me with pride for my second country.




If this pride could be shared by most of the Filipino community in Australia, as well as the country itself, you could only imagine what could be achieved.

MABUHAY PHILIPPINES!

~~ RANTINGS OF A BORING WET NIGHT ~~

Hi all, am sitting here watching television as the rain pours down and lighting flashes outside.
The telvision show is reasonably boring, but saved by the lucious appearance of lead hornbag Kim Chiu, who, lets face it, would even make Neighbours watchable.

I really don't have much to place on here, well thats photographically prepared anyway, but I do feel like dribbling on. So I hope readers will bear with me as I talk about whatever I manage to think up in the next few minutes.

As many would know, I have recently found Facebook. Not bad really and I suppose I should tak back all the negative things I have said about these sites. I have found early school friends, current friends, some Filo family and even some of those very few Filos I still see in our community here.
It is the time waster I have always said, but it is an enjoyable timewaster :-)

But not all has been good, after a pleasurable two months I had to endure an encounter on Thursday with one of the human vermin. I had thought my life was finally rid of them, that the pest exterminators had been in, but alas one was cruising Mascot in the afternoon.
Despite numerous tins of Salvital, I find my stomach is still turning at the vile experience.

With the Philippines now out of any plans for the next decade, am hopeful of raising enough money to hit Vietnam late in the year. As a Centerlink bludger (according to the aswang) one must have to save a long time to go on these trips.
I wonder if they can get me killed there as well?
Have long dreamed of going to Vietnam, to travel the Reunification Express, to visit the rural areas and, of course, to photograph some hornbags (hey Colonel ;-) )

Wow it is pissing down rain outside now. No doubt the back yard be flooded again. Supposre this will result in having to mow the lawn again next weekend.

Sadly plans to head to Gosford to farewell my maganda cousin Reizel have fallen through, so I think we are headed to BKK Eastlakes (have already packed the garlic and crucifixes) to spend some pera and have some seafood.
Going to miss ya Reizel, but will see you again one day.

Sorry if I am rambling, have had a couple of the golden product in an effort to put up with the TFC. Anyway, one must be off, have marami work to do on the websites.
Stay tuned this week for our Filo invasion of Paddys Markets and some of the locals.

Lotsa love to all.
Brad
