The tales of the hard to understand Quarantine classifications

 welcome to the Philippines...

...the country that did not close its borders when the Covid-19 was first reported. the country where face shields were considered to be a must have to protect from Covid-19, in addition to face masks.

...the country that procures vaccines that are China made even if the major pharmaceutical manufacturers are offering more effective and less costly vaccines.

...the country that seems to have a confusing (or rather confused) quarantine classifications. one moment, we are in Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and just about to happen, the more laxed General Community Quarantine (GCQ). despite still having surges in Covid 19 and hospitals in full capacity already given the dreaded Delta variant as well. the government seems to be playing with the classification like a Yo-Yo without looking into the counts, stats and projections. 

many citizens have already died from Covid since the beginning of this pandemic and it seems the gov'ts efforts to contain is not really effective...given the quarantine classification and all.

add to the fact that political ambitions are being put in the pedestal even in the midst of still to resolved situation and economic collapses. ongoing investigation of corruption and misused funds, and over-priced gov't procurements.

...and f#k! this is my country. and I really hope the people of this nation vote intelligently and wisely in the next year's election. wishful thinking: none from the current corrupt gov't and system will win in any position.

God help us 🙏

It's time everyone flies...but with Cebu Pacific? Not anymore...

I am going to set this one straight...this has been Cebu Pacific's catch phrase for their air transportation services, "Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone (every Filipino) flies". I would like to share this horror experiences I encountered with Cebu Pacific, from ticketing up to actual date of departure. So here goes the story: It was January 9, 2008 that I decided to book a flight for 7 PAX to Puerto Princesa. I booked via their Customer Service Hotline Number. I was booked for a roundtrip ticket from MNL - Puerto Princesa and vice versa. I was given a confirmation day on January 12, 2008 on/before 3:00 PM. Ticket fare is P4,515 per head. Came January 12, 2008, a Saturday - I made my way to their ticketing office in Robinson's place, Manila to confirm booking and pay for the tickets. It was a rainy Saturday and I wasn't able to get on time (before 3:00 PM), but fortunately, I was able to have the confirmation time extended upon informing the Ticketing Agen...

Painful experience of letting-go and moving-on...

Yesterday evening was one of the biggest blows in my life. My girlfriend for almost five years and I called it quits . But it was rather an unforgettable experience, quite having me to pass-on sleeping last night. She broke up with me through text. At first, I was shocked because we were together at church a couple of hours earlier. With me having to pass staying afterwards at their place because I have an important function to attend later that night. She texted me a couple of hours later as I was in the middle of being merry during the event, It goes like, "she loves me very much but she couldn't deal with the hurt I am giving her by not reciprocating my love to her. She has no expectations whatsoever, given the fact that she can't push me to do that and she learned to accept me for who I am, but there are things that she wants that I cannot provide and that we can not be happy moving forward since we obviously have a problem". I was distraught. I did not know what ...

singapore, singapore

it has been my fourth time going to singapore, and with each time I went the place never fails to amaze me. It is very clean, mass transport very efficient, comfortable and reliable (when I say reliable it's always on-time with no glitches whatsoever). To me the place is really a haven for shopping (if you have enough dough or you plastic money has the credit limit, then go for it). I really enjoyed the mass rail system they have which will bring you to a lot of places without any hassles. And singapore is also a safe place where you can stay up to 12 MN outdoors without the fear of getting mugged or harassed. One thing that I do not like though is that it can be quite expensive for tourists with just enough budget. Though food is quite affordable with different flavors since the country is quite multi-cultural. I really liked the malaysian food since the taste is much more nearer to the filipino palate. My two favorites are the nasi gombak and nasi lemak. Despite being a littl...
