See the Sun, Sand, and the Sea!

Summer is just around the corner and I'm gearing up for my days at the beach. With the Philippines having it's 7,120 islands, I'm sure I will enjoy one of them. My friends and I plan to go to GALERA, about a few hours away from Manila. I enjoy the beach that much that I spend a couple of hours under the sun. What's bugging me is the thought of getting exposed that long, it would probably do harmful things. Experts say that I should not go out at about 10AM to 4PM, but how can I enjoy the sun and the water if I only go out in shady times of the day. I would not be able to get wet as much as I need to. Believe me I know, I need rest and recreation and I need it more now that I'm stressed.

I know I haven't got the perfect body and abdominals. I am probably the last person you can expect to achieve that but I will try to do that more sooner. I have no choice for the least. Even if I don't look that good in the beach, I have to take care of my self while under the sun. Sunscreen is going to be first on the list, but I've got something really more of a pending issue. My eyes are getting worse I think because in the last few weeks I fear I'm feeling something weird while staring at the computer. My work maybe getting to me and it's already affecting my eyesight, I may need to get eye glasses now. It is quite expensive here and the added sun exposure may get me horribly sick when I get back from vacation. That may just get me into a non working mode. After getting my eyes checked in the local optical shop, I may need to wear High-indexted Prescription Eyeglasses. I don't even know where to get that since it sounded so complicated. I got on the Internet and checked out GlassesShop.com. They got it all listed from best sellers and recommended ones. I pretty much have my worked done. Discounted Reading Eyeglasses are available and at real affordable prices. I could not wait anymore and I'm so excited to head to the shore. I'll surely enjoy my vacation and get everything ready now! Let the sun shine down on me!

THANK GOD FOR CLUBBIN!

Just a quick post before I sleep. Yeah I know, its 6AM and I just got in. No I did not come from work... I just came in from clubbin! Yeah! My favorite past time has come to an end and made me a happy kid once again!

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz............


There I go I went to sleep and woke up with the laptop on my face literally because I was so drunk last night. I guess I partied too much. I just hope the hangover doesn't step in. I'm eating spaghetti for breakfast since I woke up at about 2PM. But I'm excited to know our plans of going to Galera is pushing through to have rest and recreation. This happens when I needed it most. Now, after this bowl of spaghetti I forgot I was supposed to go to MOA and buy the ERASERHEADS shirt I was dreaming about since that nostalgic event at the concert. Oh my! It's a good thing mah colleague Vince was in MOA and practically waiting for the same thing. I got him to buy me two of those and have them signed by Raimund Marasigan the band's drummer.

I also have my regrets not waking up sane because I missed the event for CABAL and the other games. I wish I had the strength to even walk now that I'm watching re-runs of American Idol. They got the big guy removed from the finals, he did weird this week.

All in all, I enjoyed my weekend... celebrating out with friends, a birthday too and a couple of shots. This just made my week! Thank goodness for clubbin!

Good, Easy Pay Day Loans for the Public

The US President went to the Senate Democratic Caucus meeting to sell his 2010 budget proposal, on the photo is Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad.

The worst is not yet over. This has been a very busy week for the US President because the democrats continue to fight the economic stimulus plan that he tried to lobby in the Senate. Apparently, his own boys are doing some major word wars in the house that is causing delays for this law to be passed. He however is not surprised but more worried that if it took too long to get this onto his table and sign it, the whole plan would collapse and cause more problems bigger than before.

Republicans are also capitalizing media mileage from the anger the public has been putting on the insurance giant AIG. They even had their signage taken down in the front of their building because they were too embarrassed for continuing with the Executive Bonuses in spite of public outrage and cries for them to return it. The common workers in the US paid for their taxes and the stimulus package plan that was supposed to go to the corporations under trouble was paying its Directors and CEO's millions of dollars. Imagine how people feel now when some of them could not even afford 3 meals a day.

They lived thru huge credits and paycheck to paycheck these days because they are the ones affected by the unethical actions of these private entities. The US President even asked some of them to return half of these bonuses and some even returned it because their names are already surfacing and they do not want to be put on the stake as the one who got paid these huge amounts. Good thing there are Easy Pay Day Loans that provide immediate and fast cash to these economically crippled individuals so they can still take care of their families. Without it, a large sector of the citizenry would have depended on the government for assistance. The private sector also chipped in to help with short term loans. They are nationwide since they are online, so go and check them out at http://www.paydayloansmania.com. Even without credit checks they can provide these easy to get pay day loans when you need it most.

Bad News Inevitable for Philippine Economy

I don't want to sound too bad in telling you about this but there is a big possibility that the economy of the country is going down and this is expected by Malacanang. This has been the predicament of the administration because of the global financial crisis. However, Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said that the palace is generally happy because the Philippines is one of the only 2 countries that had positive growth rate.

In the report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), there will be a 2.25 gross domestic product cut to the economic growth rating of the Philippines because of the low remittances by OFW's and low earnings of the country in the export industry.

Together with this, Remonde said that there will be a huge study that will be done by the palace administration about unemployment insurance that was recently suggested by NEDA Director-General Ralph Recto. I on the other hand would not recommend this because it would jeopardize the current unstable funding of institutions both in the government and private sector. They better think of another way.
