I've got new BLOGS coming up soon:
* Coach Potato's Consumer Watch - Coach Potato goes about his life, and just like most human beings encounter NASTY businesses... Those who do not give complete change, those who do not know what customer service is, those who do not issue receipts, and those whose employees feel uncomfortable serving you. Yes, some of them sleep on the job, in front of the Coach... The Consumer, the ONE WHO PAYS for service just like you and me. In many of these cases, money is not the only thing that the Coach pays... You have to pay respect, pay with your soul and dignity, pay homage, pay patience, and many more to these stupid businesses.
* Coach Potato's Traffic Watch - Coach Potato goes about his life, and just like a law-abiding citizen that he is, follows traffic rules all the time, gets flagged down by traffic officers for a violation that was never really clear from the get-go, and sees hundreds of obvious traffic violators everyday who don't get caught. Poor Coach Potato, only the One who we don't see sees his simple little good deed of stopping in front of a pedestrian crossing when somebody's old Granny is about to cross.
* Japan 2005 - Hai, hai! Ronjie-san wa nihon-e ikimasu ne! Starting 15-APR, amari wakarimasu ka? O-sake o nomimasho! Kampai!
natiketan rin ako noong araw... 1992, for TURNING RIGHT, on Roxas Blvd from Buendia yata iyon. Iyong no-right-turn-sign-on-red-light, natatakpan ng mga dahon ng puno. It was 5 AM (may training kami sa area ng Cultural Center of the Philippines, then rowing afterwards sa Manila Bay). Hindi pa ako nag aalmusal, at ang pera ko lang ay ang violet na P100 (iyon pa lang noon ang highest denomination of the Philippine currency). Sabi ko, hindi pa rin ako nag aalmusal. Pinakita ko ang pera ko, dahil iyon ang gustong tumbukin noong pulis. Sabi ko, iyon lang ang pera ko. Alangan namang "suklian" niya ako sa paghihingi niya ng tong. Sabi ko, tiketan na lang niya ako. Nagkamot ng ulo iyong pulis, at sabi eh, next time huwag na daw akong kakanan sa kanto na iyon. Next time I passed by, nakita ko, kaya pala di makita, natatakpan ng mga dahon ng puno. Ahhh... I thought, but that was 1992. Things must have surely changed by now. Then I read your April 2005 post . He he. Some things changed, some did not.
