Komikerang Kalabaw

I thought the scene was so rustic to pass up so I parked Jiminy da Cricket and waited for a nice shot. I ended up taking 35. She (I'm assuming it's a female because I saw a small one nearby) gleefully showed me how to enjoy a mud bath on a quiet afternoon.

(Hindi ako sexist. I just think a baby carabao would be near its mother because of his milk requirement). Naks! Defensive. Haha!

Ano ba ang tawag sa young carabao? Colt? Calf? Baby damulag na nga lang.









This post is for those who work abroad. Duke, Friedwater and Panaderos.

May this cheer you up and remind you of home, despite an irresponsible head of state and her ilk who choose to pursue their junket in the great US of A while we deal with the aftermath of typhoon Frank like a nation of headless chickens.

It's also for those who live and work in Manila but long for an extended weekend outside the city.

Pictures taken in Sta. Cruz, Zambales, June 2008.
Plagiarists are given hell on earth by people like me.
Pag ganitong nanalo ang babaerong boksingero, huwag painitin ang ulo ko.

hey! Chill! don't forget He was able to go 9 rounds using his right when he's a southpaw. and he went up a division (140 lbs).

Don't listen to them Manny. that was a convincing win. Stay fit. because one day I'll finally face you in the ring.

Kung na ka kaya ko ang mga straight at left hook sakin ni Ayheen twing babangitin ko pangalan ni Angel locsin pag nananaginip ako, sisiw sakin mga suntok mo.

15 ROUNDS, Man! humanda ka!

tk, your hands can be used better in the operating room. or taking temps. caring for people.

huwag mo nang patulan si pacquiao plis. kumita na siya, eh. ikaw, kailangan mo pang mag-ipon para sa apat na kids na gustong mag-med.

argh. magastos iyon. hehe.

Those pictures remind me of the carabaos and cows that used to graze in what then were open fields in fron t of my old elementary school. Since they were laid back animals, they were quite relaxing to watch or observe. :)

That was the case until one afternoon when we saw two carabaos have an "afternoon delight" about 30 meters away from the school's entrance. A lot of kids saw what was happening since it took place after afternoon dismissal.

To put it mildly, everyone gave the carabaos a much-deserved round of applause. :D

sign of middle age ko yan, JJ. I'm pining for something impossible like outlasting Pacman, climbing eiger's north face, refusing $1M indecent proposal from Katie Holmes for a 1 night stand. Things that will never happen. to clarify, she will never offer me $1M. And I will never refuse her advances. hehe.... TOINK .... "OUCH!"
