Photoblogging, sorta...

Just giving a few pictures from the camera phone out into the wild for a spin. A couple of these are funny things that I've run into here in the Philippines.

My first pic is a friendly warning over in the Tiangge of Greenbelt 1:



Germs! Germs are Everywhere! Can't you see?!

Well, maybe not, but there are no shops in Greenbelt 1 called Germs, and a quick interview with the security guard merited nothing. Perhaps I should contact the Department of Health.

Either that or it's a ploy by the Healthway Medical Clinic, whose sign is placed so conveniently underneath the offending sign.

Next up is a silent cry for the state of the Philippine economy.



A single yellow sign. Standing by itself in the middle of a crowded mall, begging for attention. Apparently our Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) really needs help.

For non Tagalog speakers, "tulungan" means "to assist, to aid, to help". The sign pretty much screams, "HELP the BIR!"

As if that wasn't enough, here's a book that Alex and I stumbled onto in one of the higher class bookstores:


(Alex is here, showing the best expression possible upon the discovery of this book)

Apparently the pornography market is getting really crowded nowdays. Hence, we have to start finding niches, just like what these lesiban horse lovers are doing!

Finally we have a close shot at a mutant:



What is wrong with that lobster. At first, it seems pretty normal, until you realize that the lobster has it's face on it's back and the face is upside down too... scary.

Anyway, that's all I've got from my camera phone at the moment. Once I get a bluetooth enabled data transfer thingy for my home PC, expect to see a lot more pictures here really soon.
