Your Need Car Insurance

Are you sure you got your family covered? I fear most of the time when I try driving our van because the streets of Manila are just not that safe anymore. Just this Monday, Philip Salvador a well known local actor almost got hit by a bus while driving through EDSA. He was already in the midst of passing through but then this large headed driver reeled his bus to the right hitting the side of his SUV and almost hitting his wife that morning. He went down and confronted the driver but he was not even apologetic of what he had done. People like these in the first place should not be given any licenses. They are just plainly uneducated and we normal people could not control what goes on in the Land Transportation Office.

Accidents like that are seen everyday and some of them are even worst. Good thing we had our van insured so if ever something happens to us and our vehicle, we are assured we are going to be taken cared of. The streets are not that safe anymore and we know that we are good drivers; but we have no control over their driving. Everybody needs car insurance. That's really going to be a big problem in this country and I would not like to be on the receiving end of those accidents. I have a lot of dreams and I don't want my life expectancy to shorten because of someone else. Go figure!

Mendiola Massacare

The scene in Mendiola a few hours ago where PNP stopped the rally of the farmers.

Almost a hundred farmers marched Mendiola streets a while ago in commemoration of the Mendiola Massacare where 39 farmer activists were shot down because of alleged leftist activities in the 70's. I don't know if I was born yet but it seems to me that a lot of people don't even know when or why this happened.

In the Marcos regime, they were the only ones who marched to the streets and fought oppression but they were gunned down when they tried to approach Manila's Malacanang district where the President stays. Until now, people still go there to air their grievances. They go to that same place where these people died, a widow of one of the victims was interviewed a while ago and said its sad that nobody knew of the event. For me, its an unending battle... they all complain... some of them are legitimate, some of them are just plain noisy... but in this day, these people should have at least been remembered. They fought for something then and until now, nothing has been resolved. Their lands are still owned by landlords... the land they sow crops on are still owned by the rich. What's new! But I still have hope that someday, one of our leaders would probably step up. As long as he's god fearing, can do the job, then he's good for me. I hope you guys are thinking about who to vote come 2010, because I would not like to see someone irresponsible again gaining power and money in the expense of YOUR AND MY TAXES!!!

Virtual Private Servers That Costs Less!

Virtual Private Servers as we all know costs a lot these days and the maintenance of websites are just the same. We can never alienate the fact that we need virtual dedicated servers so we can control what content we have in our own websites. I was lucky enough that mine had its management done by the hosting site and it costs a little more than the usual. Today, there are better offers that can beat the $10 mark, and they also pitch in a couple of things so you won't just get the freebies but everything including easy to use software that can be used by novices like me.

The cheapest ones priced at around 1 UK Pound is worth every penny as far as size and performance is concerned. You can find better deals in and outside the country but remember these are all online and the websites you maintain will experience minimal or no downtime. So if you know VPS, you know who to go to. Imagine that! These things that are available to webmasters like me now, this surely will make my life easier!

DINAGYANG FESTIVAL : Wow Iloilo!

People are flocking the streets and thousands drinking every night in Iloilo City as they celebrate the festival that they are quite known for. The DINAGYANG FESTIVAL in all its colors will present itself to the world this month of January besting its neighboring provinces that have their own festivals too. The Philippines is just full of fiestas.

Not only will there be lots of food and beverages of many versions but there also be local beauty competitions and dance contests which I'm sure everyone will enjoy. One day, I too will go back to Iloilo and check out what I missed. The time I spent there with my family a few years back was memorable. That's discounting the fact that I even got sick... but I still did enjoy it!

The street parade will surely draw the crowd's attention, and so will the other parts of the program where dignitaries will converge and celebrate this momentous occasion for all Ilonggos. I still know how to speak the dialect a little! ^_^ If you are looking for something to do this season, why not try going for Iloilo and join DINAGYANG 2009!
