cebu today

I thought of writing again about the Asean Summit updates, a few of my online friends might be interested. At least for once my blog will contain matters that matter and won’t be this useless. Hehehe!

Well, you can read much info about the summit from online news or official sites but what the heck, hear it from someone who sees it everyday. (charr!) The island beautification on all major roads is still on going. I really don’t know what’s the appropriate or technical term for island but if you are a bisdak, you surely know what I mean right? The sad thing is that, these plants might not be around anymore after the summit. You know how Pinoy can get sooo unbelievable! Just so to give an example, the cab driver last night said these lines to me – nindot kaau ang mga tanom sa? labi na ang kanang lubi-lubi, patay na ig human sa summit, hawan gyud na, nakahunahuna gani ko, mag-ibot sab kaha ko ana ug usa sad al-on nako sa amoa sa? Makuha naman na sa mga taw kay wala naman nay pulis na magbantay. I just said, ayaw pud noy oi, nindot kung ingon ana na permi para gwapa tan-awon permi ang mga dalan. To which he added – pag seminar namo kay nangutana man ko sa facilitator if puede ba makaremedyo sa patak sa taxi nya? I said, I guess not, participants probably have orientations on dos and hows on taking a ride anywhere here in Cebu. Geezz, what more do I have to say? Pinoys can be that opportunistic and abusive. By the way, they had the roofs of shanties beside the old Mactan bridge painted with green. Of course, they can do nothing for the nipa huts. (alangan ila sab pintalan ang nipa nga atup?)

The last thing I’ve heard is that the CICC (Cebu International Convention Center) won’t be finished on time so they are considering Shangrila Hotel as the new venue. Whichever the case is, Lapulapu City will be much affected since hotels where delegates are going to stay are mostly situated here. In effect, MEPZ has officially declared no working days on these 4-day event. (unsaon na lang ang mga lungag sa dalan sa gawas sa MEPZ2?) The government sent out a route for implementation and will have a closure of major roads for a few hours on Nov 25, as part of a traffic dry run.

So, I am delighted that i will be off from work as early as Dec 11 but the thing is I don’t know what to do on these dates! Arrrgghh! Sirado mga dalan, basin wala pa gyud mga jip? asa kaha ko laag sa? Laag ta ninyo nah! :P

I should be posting some pics of the CICC but blogger won't load pics again.

What's up with my workplace? We had a fire drill last week and an earthquake drill just an hour ago. ISO certification and stuff.
