Bringing Awareness

In a neighborhood of a bustling city its hard to give a hundred percent trust to everyone in the area. With movies about undercover serial killers or killer barbers its safe to remain cautious at all times. In the States where the population is growing continuously and in huge numbers crimes both petty and big are rampant. You’ll never know if you could be someone’s watch list of the next victim to be, in the attempts of crime awareness several NGO’s and concerned citizens put up a site containing the Sexual Predator List in any state, city and county to bring awareness to women, old and young. Rape and murder seem to be very rampant in the US especially in those neighborhood known for crime and violence. To date there are about  644,865 sexual predators living in the US. Now isn’t that scary? Your next door neighbor could be one of them or the guy who collects your garbage. So better be aware and cautious, check this list out and see if any names look familiar.

Mediterranean

So what places do you get to see if you embark on a Mediterranean cruise? I searched for this online because I can’t stop thinking about it … anything that has to do with laag and the likes they’re stuck in my head. So anyways almost all Mediterranean cruises go about these ports.

  • Venice
  • Athens (Pireaus)
  • Naples/Capri
  • Rome
  • Florence/Pisa
  • Marseille/Provence
  • Monte Carlo/Cannes
  • Barcelona
  • Dubrovnik
  • Kusadasi
  • Istanbul
  • Gibraltar

Imagine that?!!! I’ve been dying to see Venice and Athens … to stand amongst the ruins of an ancient civilization. And there’s Rome and Barcelona, usually trips like this lasts for around 10 to 14 days and based on my research departure would be on any major cities in Europe … huhuhu … I don’t see any departure from Asia and the rate are … whew!!! What’d you expect its a cruise amongst the world’s finest cities.

Someday … gosh someday am praying I’ll be able to embark on such luxurious travel.

Gluttony Accdg. to Bena

Monday Shift , there was low call volume as expected and with the day shifters coming in at 7 and 7:30 the avail time was really long. So as expected there was VGH, they laughed at me when I said am a changed person lol! Told them I won’t go VGH and this time its for real and am sure of it. But when the offer arrived damn!! ’twas so hard to refuse. So the three of us (moi, bena and diva) went on VGH and together with Jao and April went on another series of food trip.

First stop was McDonald’s were we had our fill … we’re s’pose to go to Madeleine’s in Waterfront but changed our minds and decided to head on somewhere in the Fuente Circle to eat “ginabot”. Diva has been craving for it for weeks and finally he’s getting it. From McDonald’s we went to Fuente were there’s the infamous pungko-pungko, the same spot where Kitoy and I ate once and where Daddy Joe, Jep-Jep and I ate once too.

So the 5 of us ate like there’s no tomorrow … foodtrip at its height and I’ve never felt so full and so heavy. Whew!!

Till next time mga vayyyeeeettt …

Stuck

I’ve known of quite a number of people who are struggling between debts. It sometimes puzzle how they manage to juggle from one loan to the other, take for instance I know of a friend who’s payroll goes directly to his credit card bills plus the loans on the side. Sometimes I wonder how he gets by but I think its goes to down to how you manage to make do with whats left after all the deductions. Run across a site during the course of my wandering in the web of a debt consolidation site … its a first for me to hear such a term and was a bit intrigued by what it means. Based on what I’ve read its intended for credit cards, medical bills and collection accounts. This is targeted to users or consumers who are having difficulty meeting monthly payment requirements or are un-able to reduce their balances should apply. Should he apply for this type of program? Maybe its worth mentioning … but wouldn’t it hurt his ego?

I find it awkward discussing other people’s finances but he’s a close friend of mine and though I cannot help him pay off his debts but at least in a way I’d be able to help him find ways on eliminating them one by one. Now am wondering if plans like this or services like this exist in the country, there’s even a government debt consolidation program that of which am not acquainted with the details but just the same its targeted to those who need help with their finances. Or maybe I can ask him to attend credit counseling before he starts getting another loan. Whew!!! Seems like he’s style is to get another loan to pay his existing loan, which I find strange … don’t understand it really.
