I’m back in the Third World alright, where telecommunication companies insist that customers pay the full cost of monthly WiFi subscription when, in fact, they’re non-operational half of the time; where the idea of quality customer service of department stores like Victoria Plaza in Davao City is to ignore shoppers every time the clock strikes another hour so that their sales crew can dance to Macarena; where restaurants set a limit of one teeny-weeny calamansi per customer; where security guards mistake the human rights’ violating task of frisking supposedly for deadly weapons with wiping their filthy hands in people’s clothing; where the Land Transportation Office is not concerned whether taxi drivers actually know how to drive, devoting a complaint desk instead to irate customers who acquired respiratory illnesses from taxis smelling of corpses and stinky armpits; where you can’t drink beer in peace at your favorite bar without the prospect of raining shards of glass or a whole bottle hurtling in your direction.
I’m back in the Third World alright, and I’m jealous that the Thais are more creative in pressing what they want by holding two major commercial airports in Bangkok hostage; that extremists pulled a stunt in a Mumbai hotel when we all need the same wackos to seize hotels in Manila where politicians trooped to receive balato for junking the recent impeachment rap against the president, as well as make shooting targets of big businessmen who enrich themselves by making people’s lives more miserable.
I’m back in the Third World alright, and rage once more is my best friend.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a breed of humanity out there, indistinguishable from others before it – unless you know what to look for. Like subtle differences in outlook, odd skills, curious behavior, and strange attachment to the word “Nyok“. These group can only speak and pronounce the [...]

Are you into billiards / pool ? Or because you are soooo into the game you have your own at home? Or you might own a bar or resort with billiards? :P
There’s a website I found who retails Pool Cue or any billiards equipment. With over 3,000 products and 700+ models of pool cues to choose from, its no wonder PoolDawg is the #1 destination for billiards.
It’s also easy for you to check their products because they have categories for it for your convenience. You can shop by products (what products you want), you can shop by brand (if you have a particular brand in mind), you can also shop by price (if you have a budget or to fit your budget).
Their promise to you? Same day shipping, Free Ground Shipping on all orders over $75, Easy returns and 60 day money back guarantee, and most important of all Superior Customer Service.
Good people with fast shipments. An excellent firm to do business with.
-Paul H.
You can also give the gift of billiards with a PoolDawg Gift Certificate! Gift Certificates make the perfect present for friends, family, and business associates. Gift certificates will be delivered via email.
They also have a lot of articles that is pretty much related to billiards and would aid you: such as Tips for 8 Ball, 20 Tips for improving your game, or 50 tips for better all-around pool and more. They even have a maintenance tips and a page for terminologies.

“What are your make-up essentials?”
I am not the make-up person and soooo you won’t find one. But, during occasions… i only bring lip gloss and facial powder. And that’s about it.
and if it’s really really needed a blush-on and a lipstick would be present.
But ordinary days? Nothing. :)

Papyrus Papers – the first paper in the world and is very much associated to Egypt.
Papyrus plants grew almost exclusively in the region of the Nile delta and the dry climate made it possible for papyri to endure, in most cases, for over 2 millenia. The use of papyrus as a writing material goes back to extreme antiquity. The oldest written papyrus known to be in existence is, according to Kenyon (The Paleography of Greek Papyri, Oxford, 1899), an account-sheet belonging to the reign of the Egyptian king Assa, which is conjecturally dated circa 2600 B.C.
Got a chance to see how a papyrus paper is made at one of their factories. They have nice collections of paintings done on a papyrus paper. Kinda expensive though. *oh well*
Pictures aren’t allowed daw.. but I managed to get one before they said that. Hehe. *peace*

The Diet Industry or the Weight Loss Industry is one business that is booming. But, sometimes not everything about this industry would give you the best results.
As a customer you would want to know whether the stuffs they say on TV, magazines or advertisements are really true. Want to know which diet pill, weight loss program, book or device would work for you and helped a lot of people or which ones are popular? Well, I found a website called DietBlogTalk.com. A site which is pretty much dedicated to anyone who consumes any type of diet pill, weight loss program, book or device. They have diet reviews.
They have an open forum for those new consumers to see what those existing clients/customers got to say with different products and services available in the industry. Don’t just rely on what the company selling it got to say…. better get their customers to tell you what their product or service has to offer.
Like you – those existing customers wants their “satisfaction” guaranteed and here you would get to find out which diet pill works best or weight loss program achieves the best result.
How does the website work?
They created a system where each consumer posts a comment and classify their posting as Positive, Negative, or Undecided. Since some of the most popular products or programs have hundreds of postings, they have tallied their classifications so that you can see what the general consensus or ‘popular vote’ is. Additionally, Dietblogtalk.com’s editors have provided a brief and unbiased summary of each product for your convenience.
Also you are free to add your comments, feedbacks or questions. They don’t require you to provide an e-mail address to submit a posting. All postings are reviewed before going live on the site to block any vulgar comments, spam or unnecessary/irrelevant comments.
You can view a list of the top weight loss products or weight loss programs, or diet book or services with a ‘Positive’ customer classification of 75% or higher below.
Have a fun time using DietBlogTalk.com!
