SULU Now Under State of Emergency

The Local government of SULU has declared a state of emergency in the whole province.

This is in response to the deadline the Abu Sayyaf had set for the 3 International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) members who was threatened to be beheaded at 2PM this afternoon. No news has been heard since then. Malacanang Palace is closely monitoring events in the region. Sulu has been repeatedly been a haven of kidnappers since the 70's.

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said that President Arroyo is at watch on all the events together with security and civilian authorities. The President has reiterated its request for the immediate release and safety of the hostages. They also are heeding for the public's prayer in this ordeal.

Sentaor and Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) Chairman Richard Gordon was very emotionally appealing for the kidnappers to release the 3 aid workers in the hopes the Abu Sayyaf would release what was agreed upon initially. ICRC and also Pope Benedict XVI was asking Abu Sayyaf to release them too. It has always been a hard bargain for these guys and the time they spent there is already too long that some of them are getting sick. I hope no one is harmed til now. If they do then it should be all out war for these terrorists.

I hope they send Philip Salvador, Robin Padilla, Erap, Jinggoy and others because they can kill about 50 villains at one stroke hahah... well that corny part was by my friend Ryan =P

Major Plans for 2009

There are a couple of things that I want to accomplish before the end of the year and one of them is to have a book published. I've been doing creative writing for years now and I think the time to pursue this frustration is inevitable. If people in the US can do this in their own backyard and small offices, why should it be a hindrance for me to do the same?

I plan to also have it published through E-BOOKS and get tons of online following for this endeavor. The plan is to get as much people acquainted with the characters first before I release them late this year. I would need a ton of resources to get the prequel done electronically because I know how hard the logistics of getting copies these days are. If my own DVD writers at home would not be able to do the job, then I should find companies who can do it for me at a fraction of the cost. It's quite sad I do not have CD screen printing capabilities too because that would really spell how good my package would look like. If I can't sell it to my friends and family first, I would not know how it would really fare in the market by then. I need to get CD duplication discounts too so I cut down on prices since times are hard. I understand how everyone feels because I am in the same situation as they are. I could not find anything similar like what CD duplication Boston has. They have one stop shops that can cater to my needs but that would really be too far for me to travel and generally would take costing sky high. Maybe I can ask relatives and friends from that area and contact them online so I can check out what would be best for me. Let's just hope shipping costs would not be troublesome because as far as I know nothing has surpassed the quality of work they do there.

Are you willing to donate for my book then? Ha-ha!

Boycott Trips to HK

Trips to Hong Kong were suggested to be boycotted by Paranaque Congressman Roilo Golez from 6 months to a year. We are one of the highest tourist visitors in that country. Golez said that it was just so insulting for that columnist Chip Tsao from Hongkong Magazine Online to say that the Philippines is a nation of Servants.

This guy is just ignorant that there are a lot of Filipinos who hold high sensitive positions in Multi national companies in Hong Kong. In the mean time,the Philippine consulate is moving on filing a fromal protest against this PIG from Hong Kong called Tsao.

Together with this formal protest, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo said that they are doing every measure to maintain the dignity of the working Filipino. Fajardo added that Malacanang is working hard to boost the economy so it would not only be the career choice and option to go abroad.

I ask of you if you are planning vacations, try to go to other countries instead... so we won't have to deal with sick people like Tsao who find ridiculing and insulting people a GOOD JOB.

A Good Review

I've been taking a huge liking to many technologically advanced devices which I have been musing about in my site this past year. I make it a point that I try and test it out my self before I recommend them to everyone who drop by my site. I never hold back on telling what is bad or good in a device because at the end of the day it will be your name on the line. I was inspired when I dropped by ProductReview.com.au, the consumers interact and tell all on everything you have at home. They even have product reviews for the latest gadgets, vehicles, services and everything under the sun. This is one great place to go to if you want things explained to you, plain and simple.

The reviewers themselves have their names indicated. This camera above caught my fancy because I have been looking for one that would fit my budget and needs. I wanted to have professional quality pictures without it breaking the bank. Well, it may just did break the bank but everybody who did have it said it was worth it. The NIKON D70 had auto focus capabilities that the former line of DSLR did not have. The light weight is also making me wonder when and where I should buy it once I get the funds. Hey! You know I would probably get one by the end of summer. Wish me luck!
