Law and Disorder

i was walking out for lunch with my work mates when we were about to cross the street. we stopped in our tracks because right across, four traffic enforcers flagged down a taxi cab. the driver of the cab stopped and there seemed to have been a discussion of some sort that got heated on the side of the traffic enforcers. one of them just lost it and landed a punch on the cab driver's face. and he hit him again. the enforcers tried to drag the driver out by opening the door but fortunate for the cab driver, he was able to speed away from the out-of-control mob of "public servants".

i honestly don't know what happened, the cab driver could have been in the wrong, but that was no way to treat him. they did not have the right. that's called police brutality in action. the "finest" of makati's public servants threw a punch at a citizen who pays taxes that make sure this traffic enforcer is able to bring home food to his family (if he even has a family). this just makes me so mad! arrogant fool! if anyone from makati reads this, the number on his jersey of disgrace is 037. if i were the taxi driver, i'd wait for him one of these days and run him down with my cab. let's see how he likes force! he should lose his job. this, dear readers, is just a fraction of how rotten the system is.

it has been a long week away from the internet. our workspace has been under renovation for quite some time now during which i can't even check my emails. now we've put up a temporary area where we can work and most importantly, get back on the web as you can see. it's a bit crowded and we're not sure how long it's going to be before we move to our all-new area but as long as you have an internet connection, that's all that matters. viva la internet!

Ceragem Beds

i was just reading this article below. it's about a treatment bed called ceragem.

Believers say company's bed can heal their bodies

the reason why i was curious is because my mother has been going to treatment sessions with this bed and she claims that she's feeling better and stronger than before she began. she has diabetes and weak eyesight. now she claims that she can see better than before.

if anyone has any article or findings about this, do feel free to drop me a comment. i just want to make sure that my mom is not getting any adverse effects from this treatment.

Work! Work! Work!

it's 6:51 in the morning and guess where i am? i'm at work! that's really great! today is a saturday and i'm supposed to be at home at this time - asleep, catching up on rest. but no! i have to be at work to move some servers to a newly renovated area. it's a good thing that i'll be with really good buddies of mine to help. why do i have this strong feeling that someone has to be here too during this task... it's time for breakfast. i haven't eaten anything before leaving the house so i'll need to eat. unless i want to find myself underneath a 400 pound server rack.

In 'N Out

me and my wife were on the way home last night and we were so hungry. we couldn't decide on what to get ourselves until we passed by a restaurant called in 'n out located within the greenhills area. they served really good steak there, at least that's what some of our friends told us. so we decided to give it a try since we really couldn't even think of getting home and cooking our dinner for another hour or so. their t-bone steak was priced really reasonably, Php99 only. of course when it was time to pay up we didn't know that tax was not included (great). it was finally served to us after 20 minutes. it was pretty good! it was just a bit hard on some parts but the tender parts were really juicy. i recommend it if you find one of their branches.
