We Need an Asteroid to Hit Us So We Can Start All Over.
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 10:12AM As many of you know, I hate going to Boracay for the same reasons many of you hate going there also--its way too commercialized. You get raped by boat fees, beach fees, terminal fees, sand fees and just about every reason they can think of to make you pay for something. It doesn't end there, with every 4 steps you take on the beach, you're stopped by someone who is trying to sell you low-quality shades or a "Birth of Christ" handicraft. There are billboards and flyers everywhere. The icing on this rotting cake is that major fastfood chains have opened up restaurant sized establishments right on the beach (Yes, Shakey's I'm talking about you and that massive branch you decided to put on the walkway in Station 2). This type of fuck-you-landmark-but-I-need-to-make-some-money attitude happens globally. I've sat at a Starbucks at the foot of the Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. I get it. Seize the opportunity. My question to you my faithful readers is this: Which world landmark would be most ruined if a fastfood chain decided to setup shop in the immediate vicinity? Perhaps the correct answer is in this video. Thanks for your consistent comments.
Look! There's a delivery number on the window! WTF? Where the hell are you going to deliver pizza in that area? If it's via camel, do I get 50% off if it's over a 35-45 minute wait time?

wtf?! and they even deliver. i hope those pharaohs inside the pyramids curse their souls.
I think I would agree on the Jollibee at the Eiffel Tower. It will just ruin everything. The romance, elegance, expensive dining, quality of people (imagine rich Europeans dining in at jollibee, Eiffel tower)... epic fail
just got curious about your caller this morning regarding the 2012 solar storm.. well i guess this is what we need.. no extermination of the human race but a possible "back-to-stone-age" technology. check this site and it's links - http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10mar_stormwarning.htm
* this was posted more than 3 years ago meaning the movie 2012 was inspired by the facts, and not the other way around.. think twice in buying the latest gadgets. ;-)

I totally agree with you, Mo. I hate it when nature gets too commercialized for some dosh. I get the part that people need to make money, but I don't get the part of destroying natural beauty. I was at at Puerto Galera some 3 years ago, I can't believe how it turned out to be a total party place. No offense people, look around and you would see fags everywhere kissing like there are no children in the crowd and overpriced stuff that you can scout at Baclaran at 4 times less the price. Yeah, sure that's business, but if you put it in a Tagalog phrase " Tagaan ang presyo." I didn't come back since then. Try Anawangin, Zambales. You'll love it there. But brace yourself as the place is so remote and uncommercialized, you have to bring tents, potable water, canned goods, can opener (never forget this one if you're not good using the regular knife for opening tin cans) and first aid kit (opkors, tequila, pls.) The place is so beautiful, it's like God is watching over me. It's like camping.
Warning: Don't bring anyone maarte, they won't enjoy the Science and Alchemy of making bonfire.
mo i can't watch any videos posted
pizza hut overlooking the pyramids. great hahaha
