It’s so Top Gun
The composition of the USS George Washington’s crew lends credence to my theory of world domination which states that Filipinos, being employed in millions of households, restaurants, and ships all over the world, are colonizing the planet. Twenty-five percent of the crew are of Filipino descent or have family in the Philippines.
Unfortunately we did not tour the viewing deck, but I learned that there really is a red phone on the bridge and it is a direct line to the President of the United States. Visitors must be kept away from this phone—one of 2,000 telephones on board—lest the Oval Office be inundated with spontaneous “Barack, I love you†calls.

Those planes remind me of Arroyo’s dream of purchasing a 1.2 billion peso presidential jet, which she scrapped out of her profound concern for our impoverished country. To prove her sincerity, she opted instead to spend only 2 million pesos for food and drink in D.C. and New York.
We should all count our blessings and thank the heavens for the prudence and compassion of our president. Mabuhay!

I know that was off-topic but it’s the planes’ fault!

Hi. Sorry for going off-topic, but here’s an update on the book blockade issue from some months back:
http://philippinegenrestories.blogspot.com/2009/08/extra-information-on-book-blockade.html
It seems that everytime a person brings books into the country, that person has to acquire a formal exemption from levies from the DOF. This must be done each time one brings books in, and is not a “one time issuance good for all succeeding instances”. So that means a person has to go not just to Customs or the Post Office, but to the DOF as well. FYI, and for your blog-readers’ information as well. Thanks.

Is it anything like Star Trek’s Enterprise? Or is it a weapon of mass destruction. The George Washington is an overkill for the Abus.
