Yam... Yum Yum!


ever since I was a kid, I've always loved yam.
I spent countless hours watching my grandmother making yam.
And being the official quality control officer during the yam making process.
When I left Zamboanga, Yam was something I didn't have easy access to, so i have been off yam for a long, long, long time.
I may have the chance to have some yam again. After reading Buy and Sell Magazine, I saw some vendors selling yam. All you have to do is order some.
ooohhh yum yum!

Raising Goats


my bassist, Dave, is very much into business. He currently has a laundry shop and a small convenience store while working as a Manager for a software company.
He just recently ventured into events organizing with me (Rayhak) and... raising goats with another colleague.
Goats are a good source of income and are very hardy animals. They can survive on almost anything and just recently, I discovered just how tasty they are.
I stay away from goat meat but it is a very tasty dish and is a favorite pulutan for local alcoholics.
The Philippines is known for its love of beer and other forms of alcohol.
So it is a very profitable business.
Small capital needed, a good sized lot and some goats will reap good profits for local entrepreneurs.
Try it. Just don't smell it hehehe

Kings of the road


The Philippines is known for its small roads. What we see as large highways are actually small roads for other nations.
And people here drive like maniacs.
Especially the local Jeepneys.
Branded as Hari ng Kalsada (King of the Road), these mechanical contraptions hurtle along the roads uncaring of other motorists and pedestrians.
Most have loud graphics which may be obscene to the normal person, ear bleeding sound systems that threaten to deafen you for the rest of your life and mechanically unsound bodies which threaten to fall off should they hit a large enough hump. At night they usually turn their lights off, and up until now I don't know why they do that.
These autos are dangerous and the drivers driving these contraptions are just as dangerous. They don't heed any traffic signals and swerve uncaringly in and out through traffic.
Accidents usually happen when these speedsters are around.
I hate riding jeepneys but I see it as an important part of our local economy.
If only we could really have a working regulatory board for these jeepneys we just might be able to control the Kings of the Road. They could at least control the loudness of their blaring sound systems.
that would be a good start.
