Philippine vessel SuperFerry 9 sinks off the coast of Zamboanga del Norte.  I have seen this boat up close several times at the port of Cagayan de Oro City during our travels to Cebu City before.

Note that this is an outdated photo and the cargo ramp at the front does not exist anymore.

I like this little app from Eugene Villar. It’s simple but makes you feel good about yourself.

My Lakbayan grade is C+!

I checked the flight schedules of Cebu Pacific in the Internet because we are sending two of our employees to Iloilo.  One will be flying from Davao and the other from Cebu.

I checked the Cebu to Iloilo schedule first.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.  “Uy, 1 peso lang.”, I said. Click. Total amount to pay: Php 1,049.44

Hmmm.  Nawala ang piso.

But still, Php 1,049.44 from Cebu to Iloilo is not that bad. I just wish they were very clear about that from the beginning.

Also, I don’t think “every juan” can fly with Php 1,049.44.

I’m supposed to fly to Manila with my wife today but Cosme told us not to go. We just met Cosme and he’s influencing our decisions already? What an arrogant prick.

Metro Manila is on signal no.1 alert – I sure don’t want to go somewhere “trying to signal me not to go”. This reminds me yet again of how I love Davao – the weather, the food, the people. Davao truly is the place to be.

If you’re a frequent traveler here in the Philippines, you may find these links useful for weather forecasts:

• PAGASA – official website of the Philippine weather agency.
• Inquirer Weather Report – Inquirer.net’s weather report page.

I was also hoping those links could forecast the mood of my wife.
