We all know about the host of accidents that Manila's motorcycle riders engage themselves in, and the unlucky ones even die. It seems safety really is a big issue for our motorcylists who get sideswiped by buses or bumped off by trucks. I would only dare ride a motorcycle in the metro's crazy streets if I go to this school that just opened. What's investing a thousand pesos for the sake of your dear life, right? Located at the Ortigas Home Depot along Julia Vargas Avenue in Pasig City, Safe-T-Ryders Motorcycle Training Center offers basic and enrichment riding ... Continue Reading...
The much-talked about murder in the neighborhood
For a week now, the country has been closely watching developments in the second biggest murder mystery that's happened in BF Homes Paranaque since the Vizconde massacre. With how it's turning out in the Ramgen Revilla murder, it's not the usual suspects that are involved here but a seeming saga of family conflict over love and money and envy at who is getting more. Is this a fratricide, a modern day version of Cain and Abel or a Shakespearean tragedy? Only a proper investigation will show (but even so, the Vizconde case seems to be dragging forever, with acquittals ... Continue Reading...
Steve Jobs: February 24,1955 – October 5, 2011
This day has been filled mostly with tweets, tributes and outpourings of grief from people on the death of the great tech visionary, Steven Jobs.I've spent the time re-reading his biography and watching his famous 2005 speech to graduating students of Stanford University.There are many snippets of his life I find inspiring (being an adopted child for one). It's just quite regrettable that he has to "retire" so early at the tender age of 56. Short as his life may be, Steve Jobs leaves behind a legacy of greatness in Apple and among millions of users around the world. ... Continue Reading...
Typhoon Pedring aftermath photos – Roxas Boulevard
I took these pictures of Roxas Boulevard this morning in the aftermath of typhoon Pedring. Prior to this, I drove to work on the evening of the 27th on this same long strip of the road totally devoid of lights. Quite scary. I hope the hard task of reconstruction begins soon. I feel sad because Roxas Boulevard, in my opinion, is the most beautiful part of Manila. I probably feel biased because I drive to work here everyday and the view of Manila Bay, amid the tree-lined boulevard, is totally superb. ... Continue Reading...
Typhoon Pedring photos taken by citizen journalists
Stay safe everyone! We had to spend most part of the day with no power as Typhoon Pedring (international code name: Nesat) lashed here in Metro Manila. My only consolation is that all members of the family stayed home today and did not have to brave the strong winds and wade through the flooded streets. There's no better time to stay indoors and keep dry. We had a brief respite at a nearby mall to have a pizza meal and enjoy the airconditioning. Am just thankful that our great suburb of Paranaque has been spared from the wrath of the floods that afflicts most areas ... Continue Reading...
