A Milestone

Whilst I still wait on my DBS (security check) I cannot directly work but … today I did start with my training so go to meet some of my colleagues.

It was a good feeling. It has been 24 years since I did any paid work … not that I am entirely sure whether I get paid for today but that doesn’t matter!

Help support my friend My friend Bryant needs your urgent help. To be honest, many also may well do but, right now this is about Bryant. Click the link to contribute I am calling on those in the UK, particularly from the Philippines community to show some love for the motherland. Bryan has been a good friend to me. In truth, when I fell asleep at the wheel in the Philippines last year, he saved not only my life but also that of my amazing mother-in-law but also my sister-in-law. Himself too obviously. He helped me when I got in a bind dealing with some things there I was frankly out of my depth on for which I am very grateful. He now needs my help. If I had the money I would help myself but, it's just beyond me.  Bryant needs urgent surgery to remove his gallbladder. If he doesn't get it the prognosis is terrible, very likely, fatal. They already got loans, borrowed from family and sold what very little they have. That covered the medical bills to date but, the surgery is a d...

When will the Philippines learn?

 Dynasties Aquino Marcos Duterte Yes, there are others but, they're all the same. They are dynasties not there to make the country better but, rather, themselves more popular and richer. Did you know that if someone is one of the big families like this, they're 22% more likely to get in positions of power (I read) Until the corruption stops at the bottom, it'll just carry on at the top. Honestly, the talent, love and dedication of the people deserve better than this few families keeping your country down. Not a single one is clear of corruption, each promised and didn't deliver (unless it suited them). Just look at how they have their name, literally in some cases, on so much. King CHarles, the late Queen Elizabeth, Prince George who will become King after his father, Prince William We have a monarchy here, the closest we have to what the Philippines has. The difference is, we realised centuries ago that no one can rule a country by the coincidence of birth and, as such...

Tuesday 21 July

Another glorious day over here. Sun shining, we are being lazy. is 10:45, should prolly do something. Have thought about alligator hunting. Deej has not seen any yet, can’t be having that! May just do Hollywood Studios though not many of the rides thanks to illness 🙁 Gonna drink a root beer now, sit by the pool … may just do that all day … good job we don’t have a fever seeing as we have all the other symptoms of swine flu. Dare not mention it though because we get quarentined for the rest of the holiday and cannot fly home until they are sure we are clear … sod that! We feel lethargic, we have sore throats and coughs. I’d say that barely qualifies as man flu let alone swine flu! Got a new lappy … hence my bursting onto the net. It cost me 170 pounds but is on sale in the UK for 330 so quite a saving! It is diddy though, just a 10″ screen which fill up real quick but a lovely red colour (like that is important). It has WiFi and a built in...
