Hybernating after election

sometimes I hybernate with my close friends , staff and supporters , like this photo , where I invited all people close to me to a three days outing at Lobo batangas at the submarine dive resort owned by my friend Jojo Marasigan. siguro kulang kulang na 100 plus kami dito, parang get together after election

after election, and the result is known, most of the time I hybernate to far away places, most often tanay, but sometimes we trek to Sagada via Nueva Vizcaya all the way to baguio city , travelling at night in freezing cold weather.

at the photo we are in 2 vehicle convoys of 4x4 navigating the side roads of Apayao kalinga

A right wing coup during Obamas presidency is at test lately, Is Obama the new Jimmy Carter?

Hindi ko maiwasan bangitin ang na oobserbahan ko na si Barak Obama ay parang si Jimmy Carter noon 1977-1980, dahail s adherance nya , bordeing fanatical "Human rights policy" ng US noon ay nabago ang World order at lumakas ang non aligned nations, some nagng left leaning ang mga dating nasa American sphere of influence kagaya ng mga bayan:
1. Nicaragua
2. Iran - Iranian revlolution
3. Afghanistan 1979 soviet invasion
4. Angola- after portugese carnation revolution
5. Canal zone sa Panama

eto siguro ang policy ng Democratic President, si Bill Clinton, mas agressibo ng konti pero hindi sya nag risk ng US troops sa mga conflicts noon term nya, kundi Air power sa Bosnia, bombing sa Belgrade at sa Afghanistan 1992 - 2000

Pero pag republcan Presidency nila Reagan, Bush Sr at Bush W, laging war footing ang US mula sa Gulf war I , Soviet collapse, Iran Contra affair, Gulf of Sidra, Mujahedin operations sa Afghanistan, El Salvador death squad,

Obama is under test ngayon sa Honduras coup, Korean missle test , Iran Nuclear plans, Iran elections, Myanmar, Hugo Chavez nationalization ng Multi nationals sa Venezuela.

close down of Gitzo, no operation of US troops in Iraqi cites

in the comming months makikita natin ang direction ng US foreign Policy in the present administration. sa mga testy world developments.

I am afrain with a weak US foreign policy, a world recession... isa nalang kulang dito to have a 180 degree change in US foriegn policy that is "a natural calamity at the continental USA"a little bit more than Katrina, na halos epic propotion at ang USA ay magiging again an ISOLATIONIS nation.

at pag nangyari yan, European Union at China will emerge to be a new world emerging power to fill the vaccun na iniwan ng USA

Kaya dati rise to Globalizm, ngayon return to isolationist

dati kasi before WWI walang paki alam ang USA sa mundo, naplitan lang sila lumahok sa WWI in th last stages of battle, before Us joining the alliance lahat ng battle talo France and UK or tabla, after US entry into the war ( with my great graet grand father Tomas Claudio) naka rama na battle victory sila

Ang right wing coup sa Honduras ay isang malaking test sa Obama admistration,
will he be siding with the OAS calling for the return of the exiled President to power or support a moderate and right linning speaker of the huse acting at tempoary president. hndi na kasi uso coup sa latin amerika, the last one is in Venzuela, Hugo chavz was ousted for 2 hours and return to power with impunity

but........ ang gusto ko sa ginawa nya ay hindi sya masyado nag issue ng harsh na salita sa outcome ng iran election hangang may mga protest at rally, kasi mag popolarize ang mga Iranian at maging anti US ang mga pro Moshavi protesters.... very god barak, wag ka papadala sa mga Hawks

ate ina has no PTB and pneumonia

we just got a call from Dra Antonio a lung specialist in makati med that ate ina has no pnumonia and PTB, his findinds is from the Xray result conducted at the hospital , as against the xray made by at our clinic.

Baguio Country Club

Baguio City our summer capital, The only colonial American Hill station in the Philippines .

Since 1973 ang family nila Arlene at my family ay may unit na condominium sa Montepino, sa Pacdal road, sila sa 8th floor, kami sa 3rd floor. Pero hindi kami nag kakilala doon sa Baguio City, but instead sa Hong Kong vacation pa kami nag kakilala in 1979 April during Holy Week cruise to Hong Kong

i lost 120 lbs in this picture, ganito ako kapayat when we visited australia pinag kamalan ako father ni arlene

ate ina's visit to Dra Antonio at Makati medical center july 1, 2009

Galing si ate in a sa Hospital sa office ni Dra Antonio sa Makati med, sya ay dating doctora din ni mommy , specialiata sa pulmonary, si ate ina ay matagal na may plema at sipon, at 2 weeks ago ay natuklasan sa x ray na may PTB, at sa ECG may left bundle branch block.

sa na karaan linggo, napansin namin na nag hina sya siguro dahil sa mga gamot na inum nya, sya ay 100 years old na at ang reaction nya sa gamot kakaiba

sa almost 1 day na walang PTB drugs may marked improvemt sya...

sa mga pot dito kumakain si ate ina, ng lome from jolydopey, na may clusivol sa harap nya, right after eating , pilit nya hinawakan ang kahon ng clusivol vitamin at open box, by her self, at in my interpretation , nais nya uminom ng clsivol o gamot para lumaks na sya at magaling, ayaw nya na mahina sya at may sa kit, nais nya pang lumaks, nakaka touch yung n saksihan ko kanina .

Kasama nila si elena my sister, Adrian at Mila. ako ay curious lang sa feeling ni elena when she was at Dra Antonio's office kanina, kasi sya din kasama ni mommy un sa office na yun noon na bubuhay pa si mommy, I am sure ang daming alaala nya when she was there with ate ina.
