I'm happy to be here. Garden variety of interests and commentary.

Former stringer. Everything else is a joke. Ex-deathcare, ex-government.

Typos and poor sentence construction intentonali.
Supertyphoon Fung-wong about to wreak havoc on us.

Help.

10kg of rice care package yesterday. It ain't obvious, but I experienced verbal abuse about an hour before this.

Lifting rice is easy work. I've carried 25kg upstairs before.

I finally found the sharp object in my bed I first felt a couple months back. I can't believe this. :(

Good thing I'm current with my tetanus shot. I'm still a bit mad and disappointed.

Day 7: A week after

I went to see my orthopedist after a long while for this one. Glad he remembers me as the plantar fasciitis guy.

He ordered an x-ray for my left wrist and shoulder.

Another cortisone shot it is.

I should set up a crowdfunding page for my ortho visits. This is getting costly.

Day 4 after crash:
- a bit more better; i can stay playing NBA Live 08 Franchise Mode for longer
- still some vision problems and pain
- examined my helmet and how it fared. Looks good for a ride
- needed ice after bumping my head on the wall while plugging a fan
- still need longer rest

Another year, another flu shot. Never gets old. I do keep forgetting, though.

You're so obsessed with tying my cables, but you can't even tie our family together!

You even made a noose out of a USB connector for my old external hard drive! Amazing.

I am currently about to start Chapter 12, then review it. It's a good book exploring the personal journey of Australian GP Dr. Adam Smith through Filipino health scams and the reasons people fall for it, or get it.

Last week, a cold storage warehouse caught fire at dawn. It released a noxious mix of ammonia and other odors from melted insulation as well as processed meat.

Many people, including myself, got sick due to the odors wafting a large part of Quezon City.

Just when I was about to leave my house, I get another puncture wound. It's a good thing I had a tetanus vaccine 2 years ago, and a Dtap vaccine last year. @aetiology.bsky.social Washed it with soap and water and currently bandaged. @enirenberg.bsky.social

Sorry, but I will not tolerate abuse and slander, especially against a friend.

You redhat-wearing Gamergaters bullied her out of the internet.

I hope your lot are happy with what you did.

Preparing for the Christmas Vigil Mass.

Merry Christmas, a happy new year to everyone! :)

Looking forward to a gentle year.

Despite my current plight, I mustered enough courage to apply for the civil service exam, professional level.

This is the toughest of all exams in the Philippines, with the recent percentage of passers last August hovering around 14%. Average is ~17%.

A government job guarantees career stability.

Gotta try to be more active here, specially with boring stuff.

Here's a picture of Plaza Roma park and the Manila Cathedral in the meantime.

It looked so majestic inside the National Museum of Natural History. The humble tamaraw, an endemic buffalo of the Philippines. Critically endangered, numbering from 300-400. Poaching and deforestation are major threats to its survival.
