Kind of surprised to see that my Ara Mina video has been so highly rated, and looks like the Cute Filipina Dancer Wants Me To Buy Her A Laptop! is holding the number one spot but is being challenged for the top ranking by my most commented upon post, Racist TV Show Nita Negrita has Philippines Blackface! Interesting mix. Judging by the results, I guess if I did an article about Ara Mina appearing on Nita Negrita and one of the characters asks an American expat to buy her a laptop, it could be my most viewed post of all time!
Definately an interesting and amusing mix of topics Dave

It is always a day behind, I suppose to boost the newspaper sales. I get it delivered everday. One of the few good things about living in the city proper.
Of note this past week is that task force ASIS (the team demolishing Illegal structures) has demolished a place we just talked about. Guess where ? If you guessed Fort San Pedro’s BBQ Park your correct. I hope they continue across the street and make room for legitimate businesses. Also Mayor Jerry is getting grilled good about the overpriced city hall and the construction has been halted. I especially enjoy the editorial page and the ” Lapsi Calmasi section.
Just some food for thought.

Thanks for the link, Paul, I’ve bookmarked it and will be checking it out more later. Looks like it has some good info. I do miss having a daily newspaper delivery, subscribed to a newspaper for decades and read it early every morning.
I saw where the BBQ Park was going to be demolished, I guess the City made good on their threat. Some good stuff.
Keep up the good work Dave. To be frank I think a rich guy like you should buy that poor girl a laptop. Now that would be a story!
Ha ha, yeah, Gary, and after I buy that laptop, I’m going to have a big hospital bill because I’m sure my asawa would cut me to ribbons with her bolo. Btw, the girl is no longer employed at that store. She was on a five-month contract which is so common in the Philippines.
