NOooooo! Is it so wrong to give your boss a gift?
I did the same recently for my other boss and for my colleague friends (birthdays are very special for me) I just like making people I like feel special. It makes me feel good.
And besides he said I am his kid at work. I guess I trigger a fatherly instinct in him. I kinda have that effect on peopleLast edited by _Cathy_; September 28th, 2015 at 01:21 AM.

the thread is entitled, "what are you thinking about?"
my input has nothing to do with cathy's inputs.
yesterday kasi, in a radio program, jullie was re-promoting her (old) book and the upcoming movie based (daw) on the book.. she says she got interesting calls from prominent people, including politicians, because the book's launch at that time, coincided with an election(?). and everybody then, thought every other candidate had a mistress.. she said, joker arroyo called her and said, "julie, what have you done!"
wala.. i just thought about it, and will look for a copy.. i am curious what its contents are all about..
kayo talagah...! mga maduduming isip!
if i had cathy in mind, i would have told her straight, "cathy, you should read this book!"Last edited by dr. d; September 28th, 2015 at 01:51 AM.

Dith Pran's (1942-2008) birthday would have been today (according to Wiki). He was a survivor of the Cambodian genocide and the focus of the movie, "The Killing Fields."

The recent death of my former landlady still lingers. She was like a third mom to me, taking care of all my stuff at home, even packing lunch for me. We (along with her hubby) often ate out and played bingo together. She was also the one who introduced me to my ex-fiancee back in Oklahoma. So, yeah. I'm treading carefully when the wife is around.

If my wife (and her family) ever get done rebuilding their business in Leyte, I just know we'll be spending a lot of time in the PH. If that time ever comes, I would volunteer to man a weather (observing) station on the northermost islands of the country. So long as I have a two-way radio and shelter/supplies, I'd probably like the isolation and cooler climate. Have the PH Navy drop off supplies as needed..... Kinda like being the coastwatchers of WW2.

Fishing? Exactly!
If the PH government wants to fly the flag that far north, someone has to stay there. I figured setting up a weather station is a good excuse. I don't mind staying up there for a month so long as I have food, drinking water, and shelter. Obviously, I'll need a radio to keep in touch with the main Batanes islands.
Sending weather observations doesn't take more than 5 minutes per hour. I can spend the rest of the time performing maintenance or going fishing. I've been alone in the jungles of Colombia and deserts in the Middle East. So, being alone isn't new to me.
After a month, I get relieved by someone else. Then, the wife and I rent a motel room somewhere.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; October 1st, 2015 at 07:47 PM.
someones are (at last!) loudly asking, "why did they turn off the countdown timers?"
