... here and what to do to keep yourself safe.<br><br>Many of the Filipino legends involve some form of Aswang. Definitions and descriptions vary greatly from place to place and from person to person, but Aswang are basically shape-shifters that appear human by day but transform into their monstrous forms at night. Some Aswangs can change form at will, others through the use of potions concocted by evil magicians. Stories recount Aswangs living as regular ...

... floating around. We have also received word that many of our employees were stranded at the office or while trying to get home. I've tried to contact those I have mobile numbers for but haven't received many replies. Hopefully that is because the power was out and they were unable to charge their phones or because cell service was interuppted. So many people have lost their homes and possessions. As of tonight, 75 have ...

... being sat on. We decided to walk back down.<br><br>The next day, with distinctly painful bottoms, we set off on the boat to Corregidore Island. This was the last bastion in South East Asia against the Japanese during the second world war. The Americans, under General MacArthur, fought and lost the island only to return and get it back later in the war. It is an island steeped in history and with many, many big guns on it. I do like a big gun. They also have the tunnel where the ...

When you make a life change like this you learn a lot about yourself in the process. Some things are so elementary that you wonder why you didn't know them long ago. Today I found out I am claustrophobic. <br> I abandonded Wii training and pretty much all other physical activity due to severe pain in the area of my shoulder. It's a recurring problem that came and went for years but this time it came and stayed. I think it was ...

The final count is in. Today the newspaper proudly stated that only 346 people injured and 6 died as the results of the New Year's Eve celebrations. (only?) They said this is the lowest in the past several years. They attributed the decrease in the overall fireworks displays to the campaign against using fireworks, the rain, and the bad economy. I can't ...

... feel better. We slowly (although it felt like we weren't moving at all) moved forward until I could see the entrance to the building; they're not letting anyone in, the place is jammed but yet everything is very orderly and they are patiently waiting to get in. It's been at least an hour since I got in line and still don't see the checkout counters, nature is calling, starting to lose it but suddenly realize, what's the big deal, I'm the one that wanted to ...

... two girls Jesse and Che who Graham got all paranoid with the other week. July 13th Ok, this morning I woke up feeling like **** (and not because of the beer I'd swilled the night before). I couldn't breath properly, was coughing like a loon, felt dizzy and had a well high temperature. Caught a taxi to the Manila Doctor's Hospital (starting to get to know this place all too well) and prepared myself for the imminent 4 hour wait. 5 hours later and I was ...

... influenced buildings inside Intramuros and the Fort Santiago Park was very nice to stroll in. And you know, the biggest mall in Asia is in Manila. Although for us the Robinson's Mall in Ermita was enough, it was already huge! And we cannot do any shopping anyways. :( Manila, well it wasn't our cup of tea.. I think here, especially in Ermita, you can see the gap between poor and rich more clearly than in any of the cities we've been in Asia. There were whole families sleeping on ...
