~~ TOM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY ~~

With a trip pending, opportunity was had last night to celebrate Tom's birthday at our place.

With our pending (hmmm getting to be overused word) move away from home, parties in the 'G-Spot Karaoke Rooms' are on borrowed time - something that, given a huge amount of unwanted memories, is not necessarily a bad thing - actually its a very good thing.

Change is not something the Aussie Aswang normally embraces, but that over the the forthcoming months shall be greatfully embraced.

~~ The Winds Of Change ~~

Us guys are a shallow type of people - or perhaps one who like to see the best in women until the blatantly obvious becomes so very much obvious.

Back before I met the rag-tag scraps of crap that passes for womanhood at Eastlakes, I though all Pinay woman were the best things on earth. Kind, caring, and the greatest of friends.
But alas reality has a way of hiting us in the face eventually and then move on to the poor ignorant who next gets involved with the crap that is peddled.

Sooner or later you meet Korean and begin to think - Eastlakes what?

The Aussie Aswang asks you to take a moment to appreciate the CREDIBILITY that is Korea.

Oh yeah, we originally went down to get this retor-liveried Thai Jumbo.
But by then, few of us cared.

Where else but in wonderful Manila.

~~ OPERATION ADOBO #6 - November 2011 ~~

A couple more photos from the recent Philippines trip, mostly to trial the downloading to Blogger from a different computer.

This selection of shots come from our second day, which saw us attend a meeting of FILDAC (Philippine Diecast Aircraft Collectors) before heading down to Multinational to photograph the real thing, then on to Pasay Road station in time to witness a massive storm and train delays due to flooding at Espana.

BLOGGER

Yes I know it is a free service, so there is no need to point that out, but still, if you offer a service, perhaps at least make it half decent.

More and more commonly is the photo uploading problem below.
While marginally better than the error message you otherwise get, it is still a bloody irritating event that Google is either unable to, or just can't be arsed to, fix.

The obvious solution for the 'Aussie Aswang' is a move to Wordpress.
If and when this happens, you will be notified here.

~~ OPERATION ADOBO 2011 ~~

Part 1

Yes, it has been a while since I last posted. The endless demands of work, declining interest in things Philippines and, well, a general feeling of not giving a monkeys testical, pretty much led to a lack of desire to come on here and ramble on to my many disenchanted fans.

I do thank those who have emailed me to enquire of my whereabouts, however the rumour that I moved to North Korea to become a male prostitute is just untrue.

In coming months we will take a photographic look at moments during the journey to Manila with MrX - a journey that was primarily to attend to immigration related business.

One of a kind, this is the sole blue Virgin Blue (or Virgin Australia if you must) jet and at the time of photographing was due to soon go in for a repaint into the boring new corporate white livery.

Although, at time of typing, it was still flying around the country.

MrX seemed a little more excited than usual during this flight. I am unsure of the source for such excitment, though I do have a rough idea. :-)

Take off was from the third runway, over Botany Bay and Kurnell, before turning west to fly out over Bathurst, Bourke, Mt Isa, before turning towards Katherine and Darwin.

Darwin - the first time I have been to this northern outpost of Australia.

Sadly it was just a 2-3 hour stopover enroute to Manila, but still we got a good look during landings and take off.

Am sort of thinking of an extended stay here during a future trip.

Ahhhh yes, you know when you are in Manila :-)

More exciting adventures to come!

Because, sometimes, still photos just are steamy enough.
