Greece is Dying

Saturday, April 24, 2010


I am a little hesitant to talk about this but the President of Greece Papadou just announced that their country needs serious loans from the IMF to get back into the market. They will be sourcing these funds from Germany but their Chancellor is quite on a setback because she has not seen any strong plan how to get back in its original state. Right now they are showing no signs of recovery and their government is not that optimistic too. Riots of all forms happened in their capital and even the President got onto a remote island to announce them giving up on the government's ability to continue operations.

The problem is, there is quite a huge amount of history in that location that I wouldn't be able to see. Why did they join the EU in the first place?! Their currency did not handle it well obviously. Now comes the rescue plan that never even convinced the one who will loan them the money. I wonder if they would be able to look at themselves a few years from now. Even the labor force are protesting because pretty sure IMF will tell its corporations to cut down on wages. When will this happen?! That is the question that the current regime will have to answer to.

Making My Ride Better!

Friday, April 23, 2010


I like my ride a lot; but there are better options out in the market that has kept me thinking to get a new one. The diesel powered engine and twin batteries are not helping too. I spend around double just for maintenance sometimes and what made me want to change my mind about it are the countless times the truck has failed me. Then again I should have had a different point of view since I am not an expert when it comes to cars and trucks. I just know how to make them look good in the long run. It was just like the time when I needed something to bring our things over to the south of Manila; I had to wait for our van to have a ladder rack installed because the ordinary trunk was not that sufficient anymore. After that it was easier for me to get things moved even without the help of professional movers. That saved me a lot of money and made my truck more efficient for everyday travel.

For the things I got for the truck, I try my best to get them locally but if I can't and I'm in a hurry I go to on line stores that could supply me with the best door handles which are all made of chrome, billet fuel doors and grilles. It is becoming a little addictive to jazz up my ride and if ever I need to consult places to get it the site has it all!

New Lizard Species in the Philippines

Thursday, April 22, 2010


Wow just wow! I was really amazed at what was actually found in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the island of Luzon. This is actually just like the Komodo Dragon that is found in Indonesia but the difference is... it doesn't eat meat or dead carcasses, it eats fruits and veggies. Some sort of a vegetarian dragon hahah.

The Komodo lives on volcano slopes and finds dead things to eat but this one chooses to be healthy and slim. Although I don't know why in the world it is about 6.5 feet in length.. taller than I am HUWAAAAT!!!

Numbers of these species is unknown and the Philippines has no data about it. This just got filed in France and they said it is very endangered. People in that area actually consume this for their food, they might lose this one forever if some sort of conservation plans do not step in. I'm sure these are the ones who bite and crawl if attacked so make sure we all make an effort to protect it while protecting ourselves. Please do not eat BAYAWAK anymore for cryin out loud! We are not cavemen!

Someone Owes Me Money


I am trying to live my life debt free and I know the consequences of having problems with money. I have seen some of my family members go through rough times and debt for them seems ordinary. Sometimes you try and help them anyway you can but bad credit loans really leave a mark in your credit standing. I understand that there are some instances where you spend a lot on cases like emergencies, natural disasters, medical situations and death. I can't say no to family too and that is one problem I am trying to fix until now.

I have also made the habit of lending money to friends who in the end could not afford to pay me back. This happened very recently. The amount is no joke either so I am trying to force him to pay me when his check arrives. I am also telling some other friends so they can somehow help me telling him about it. The thing I hate sometimes is that friends tend to get self imposed selective amnesia if you need the money already. They should have consulted credit professionals instead so they would be stricter putting penalties. I wish there was some way I could let them live a debt free life too. I don't want to end up paying for their debts anyway!

If you are reading this my friend, please pay me back soon! You know who you are!
