But Valve can't count to 3! lol At that point they'll probably be working on a sequel to some other popular mod. Great blog as usual btw. | ||

What company are you working for, if you can tell us? ^^ I miss it  . You need to vacation in boracay someday. Can't say, I've actually gotten it big trouble posting too closely to what I do that some investors got upset etc, so I don't post about specific business things anymore, just general things ^^ I've been told that by everyone to visit boracay, hopefully I will do this year! | ||

If I'm with locals, I'll eat whatever they are having, if alone, I survive on cashew nuts and milk. =) | ||

Getting diarrhea from drinking milk is the last thing they need. It is a very good point, which I didn't think of at the time, I just was kinda like: mom = milk so that was pretty much it, but it is a good point that I am going to consider next time. | ||

It's nothing. The social welfare people don't have the money to run it properly, so NOTHING happens to kids who commit crimes in the Philippines. No exceptions. Syndicates employ kids to do various kinds of criminal work, because if the kids get caught nothing happens to them. It's actually likely that a kid caught here might get adopted by a foreigner. Yep, you may want to teach your new 6 yr old kid English and arithmetic, but he already knows how to break into cars without setting off alarms and stabbing people with icepicks in crowds so that they bleed to death without feeling any pain twenty minutes later. + Show Spoiler + The parents won't knows either because the criminal records are confidential, and only the social worker and policeman who investigates has access to the records. It's criminal to divulge the same. On a side note, it's gotten so bad that policemen hardly ever waste their time trying to run after these kids anymore. You report that a little boy or girl stole your money, and they won't do a thing about it. It's a waste of effort. There are other crimes out there were the criminal at least has a chance to be put behind bars. Rant off. Nice blog. I'm surprised at how much you like the Shangrila Buffet. A chef friend of mine used to work there and he said the food was terrible. Then again, his favorite food is instant noodles, so I'm not sure how reliable his opinion is ^_^ I can't really blame the kids for the system, but I'm just content that they weren't actually successful in pickpocketing me; as far the Shang's buffet, you should try the one in Hong Kong, its a great spread and relative to other hotels, very good ^^ | ||

The good news is that the people are nice and all speak English, and good Pandesal is readily available! Nice blog. Edit: But yeah, I generally learned not to trust kids :p I agree, thing is, I've been back and forth for about 5 years doing business there and it always pains me because the people are generally very kind, not to say that if they weren't kind that the situation would be different, but anyway, I never feel as though everything is comfortable when I go there, it's always at the back of mind and I think it is also because I did have two full time Filipino staff when I was in Macau and they were great. | ||

I noticed it because someone was managing to follow me (it's not the case anymore, but at the time I was walking very fast, so if someone could follow me I was suspicious). I neary got sth stolen because he had a friend that tried to pickpocet me at the same time, but I managed to keep myt stuff. And immediatly they were like : "why are you doing this ? We did nothing ? We're gonna call our big brother !", like they did nothing.... I lose a lot of efficiency, but you get to a point where you can bang out page and pages of analysis and so even if you lose a lot of efficiency your base level is still enough to get over the finish line. I slept nearly 10 hours straight last night to recover ^^ | ||
