Fluttering paint pot! LOL!
PFFT! "Fluttering paint pot"! XD
Pretty! I like how you put the colors on the inside of the wings!
Love this. Even though it's not the same style, the wing colouration reminds me of Aboriginal art... So this is awesomely Aussie.
Wyverns in australia?
Heyyy, this one is an Aussie! I wish we really had those things around here.
"Fluttering paint pot," that made me crack up. Wonderful art, I love it!
i love your art so much
This is my favorite of your reptile pages... Hes a beauty!!
OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGG TTTHIS IS SO SO CCCCCOOOLL please do some more if you want y have somting to I want you draw

I like your dragon drawings yeay ^^
Cool idea!
omg, an aussie drag! beauuutiful and fitting for the rainforests up north of australia (:
i love the wings (:
wow these colors r so EPIC!
Very nice!
D8! they could be living in my backyard D8!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....*hides* they are very pretty though but EEEE!!!!!
Can see that it likes to live on the coast. Perhaps this wyvern is also found in new zealand, papua new guinea and indonesia?
Amazing, I love the colors. It must have a bit of a hard time blending in with it's surroundings, no?
it loooks yummy. like a hot mexican candy. the yummy red *nibble*
...This. Is a beautiful creature. I must have one.
Aww his face is so cute and his body is very colorful !
Love this original piece
Love this original piece
beautiful markings, adorable face, plus fave for sure! <3
Ypu know, all of your dragon pictures put into one, would make an excellent dragon guide book. You could make a lot of money from it too! I've seen TONS of copies of dragon guides and references in book fairs everywhere!
Love it
Love the way you done your monsters, very nice presentation! Love it!
are you inspirated by butterflys ???
Wow awsome
if this is what a coastal dragon of Australia looks like,
i wounder what a in-lander dragon would look like?
i wounder what a in-lander dragon would look like?
Der sieht auch super aus. Die Farbe mag ich besonders.
"fluttering paintpot" XD
How do this thing walk? Is it going to crawl on all four like a Monstrous Nightmare (How to Train Your Dragon)? Or do they live on tree tops and rarely land on the ground?
Sorry. I'm sort of a zoology nerd
Sorry. I'm sort of a zoology nerd
Nice ^^
God I love these dragons of yours.
Oooh, beautiful wing design. Wyvrns were a dragon type in this dragon species book I read if I'm not mistaken >.< Beautiful creatures, but anywho- Bravo! You never fail to capture their unique details.
Just a wee technical tip-come-nitpick... That very cute dragon would have no chance of camouflage with those colours around the coasts of Australia. Inland, certainly... but not where you've indicated habitat. That'd have to be more green/blue/yellow. Just sayin'. Loving the colours though - very Australia. And his crest reminds me of a frilled-neck lizard.
Oh....damn, you're right about that. XD
Perhaps, they could be different coloured as juveniles and get their bright colours later in adulthood.

I think this is my favorite one yet!
This is nice! I likey!
Nostalgic toward my old torn copy of Dragonology. <3 Love this.
Amazing! I love his design and the astounding colours.
That is awesome.

Add a little vanilla extract in water and you've got a safe, natural mosquito repellent for people and horses.
An old country formula to ward off gnats and mosquitoes is to mix a tablespoon of vanilla extract into a cup of water to create a safe, natural mosquito repellent. I rubbed this on my children's faces and it worked so well I tried the solution on my horse's ears and eyes. It worked like a charm.

©2013-2016 LordYanYu
Nightmaremoon is one of my favorite pony.And Raven is my favorite titan.When I was a child,I had already been fond of her,Although in my country,I could only see her in an English speaking channel occasionally and I basically could not understand what they said.So I'm really in delight when I saw Teen Titans Broadcast again,Which is why I decided to draw this picture.
Raven: Hey! You are not Butterbean!
My wonderful angels of darkness <3
I love it! Nightmare Moon and Raven are my favourites character of MLP and Teen Titans <3
Nice! I really like it!
Excuse me but.... LOLOLOLOLOL I love this.
They fit well together. Two types of darkness. Both misunderstood.
Best team ever XD
NICE idea you have there ^^
Time to share this with the voice of Raven herself Tara Strong
Raven: "You rock Nightmaremoon."

This a very unique fragrance! You must try. There is nothing on the market like it! I am a perfume junkie! 35 bottles or more bottles of perfumes just this year. I own everything from Gucci, Jadore, Versace , juicy couture ect. This fragrance "rebelle" is the most unique of all. A little hidden gem. It is a very warm sexy sultry sent. Sure to draw a lot of attention. In a good way. I suggest sprit zing a very small amount. A little goes a long way. If you spray to much it could cause you not to enjoy this great fragrance. If you are looking for something very different from what you all ready have I would definitely give this one a try. Is is a warm, sweet sensual fragrance. I get a lot of the vanilla, coffee , and what smells like chocolate on my skin. With a touch of something spicy. I'm terrible with descriptions! But I love this unique fragrance that last all day on me. Definitely give it a try. Especially if your adventurous ! You won't be sorry!

I love the smell of this perfume, but what I received is worthless. It smells old and sour like it sat in the sun and baked all the fragrance out. The shower gel and lotion leave a lingering soured smell on your skin and the perfume smells old and burnt. Such a waste of money. I recommend you spend a little more and buy it from another company. I guess it's true what they say. You get what you pay for. FragranceX must not care what they deliver...

Tehran, 13 Sep - Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation Ali Akbar Salehi said on Saturday.
Any indication Iran could become more self-sufficient in its nuclear programme will be closely watched by world powers, which reached a landmark deal with Tehran on 14 July over its programme. They had feared the nuclear activities were aimed at acquiring the capability to produce atomic weapons.

Freaking awesome!
im wondering which issue is this in?
seus desenhos são lindos
This is spectacular! My friend showed me this picture because it looks a lot like me! (Unnervingly so.... therefore, beautiful job XD)
Loish...probably a lot of people say this. But you are my absolute inspiration. I'm thirteen and have absolutely given up on my art style. I don't like or love your work, I merely envy at how you can be so amazing and creative with your work. Basically, you're brilliant. I've studied your art style for quite sometime, but your art is way to advanced, although I will keep trying.
All I want to tell you is that you're the worlds best artist in my eyes, and no one could ever be better then you. You're perfect.

you're very young, there's a lot of time to improve! i'm glad you like my work, thanks so much for the sweet comment :]
I actually just got the book with this listed in it last week when I was going through your artwork I thought this style was familiar... then when I saw this one my jaw dropped... great work ^.^ I'll be sure to read your section of the book!
Do you know where I can get a copy of that issue? I've been searching the ImagineFX website and they only have a small handful of back issues available for download and yours isn't one of them. I'd really like to buy it and check out the dvd.

Great for aquariums
posted 8 years ago
We use an aquarium for our hamster so must standard water bottle holders do not work. We found this and it is perfect. The standard water bottles are held up by a thin wire that easily bends and is lost frequently at the shelter. This type rarely breaks or bends, is versatile, and holds the bottles securely in place. I recommend this to anyone who needs to use a water bottle for their pet.
Pros: Taby's water bottle stays in place
Cons: n/a

Goof for ferrets too
posted 8 years ago
We use this in our ferret cage and it works great. It's harder for them to pull it off and when they're fighting for the bottle they don't knock it over like a lot of standard water bottles do with their holders.
Pros: Keeps the bottle to the cage
Cons: can sometimes be pulled off by ferrets

posted 7 years ago
I have one cage with a deep pan so I can't hang a bottle from the outside since it will be too high for the guinea pig to reach easily. This hanger allows me to hang it lower inside the cage for easy access by my guinea pig. It works great. Only slight inconvenience is, it's hard to remove it from the inside. You have to pull it to get it out, but it doesn't affect it's effectiveness.
Pros: Holds bottle securely
Cons: Sometimes hard to remove from the cage

Rated 5 out of 5 by Giorgio1346 Great Outdoor Fun with Your Dogs This hotel is one of the most :Dog Friendly" in the Starwood chain. Dogs are welcome and the dog owners all appreciate the hotels attitude. A feeling of happiness, joy and over all well being is felt in the hotel as people who love dogs and the love they povide are nice people to be around and the Westin Mammoth accomplishes this The whole Village of Mammoth continues this dog friendly attitude as well. Thanks for providing us with a great hotel that we have been coming to sevral times a year for the past six years with our Golden Retriever. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by crazymom Hotel has great view BUT Coffee pot didn't work, couldn't get the fireplace to work after staff came into the room to light the pilot. Didn't get my MAKE A GREEN CHOICE voucher June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chere12 Fantastic Hotel My family and I stayed at the Westin Monache Resort for 2 nights. We absolutely loved this hotel. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite. It was perfect for our family. We especially loved the privacy of having our own room. We will definitely stay here again. June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tamtam14 Excellence The Westin Monache Resort, Mammoth is the only hotel for me when visit Mammoth. From the moment I walk in the door the only way to describe my experience is excellence. The service is beyond comparison. The hotel itself has a very warm and comfortable feel to it including the rooms. I always entertain at the hotel restaurant and bar. They have an excellent menu and quality staff and bartenders that always enhance my dining experience. There is so much more that I could say but again, I will sum it up in one word. EXCELLENCE June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by leftyr A beautiful hotel We enjoyed the hotel and found it very comfortable. The kitchen was so well furnished too. The only minus is the tiny vanity in the bathroom! There was hardly room to put anything on the counter. June 1, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Saratd The most amzazing service My grandchildren my daughter and I went to Mammoth to sky and we spent 10 days at the Westin Monache resort. The rooms are very big with a very niece view to the mountain. The staff of the Hotel made everything possible to make our stay a wonderful one. My family eats only Kosher food and the staff of the Hotel made everything they could to fulfill our needs. I want to thank Jenniffer Lopez, Melissa, Paul, Dolores and all the drivers who were doing our best for us to have a wonderful holiday. It feels very good to arrive to a place where you can see that people cares for you. Sara Tussie May 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MarkHB1 Poor Experience From check in to check out, this property has been only fair on my many stays. The staff turn over seems rapid with no quality quidelines established. the check in took 30 minutes! The White Bark food was absolutley terrible but the server was very good. Room lacked bottled water so I had to ask, shampoo and conditioner had to be asked for. Lunch was offered and advertised but we were told that the staff did not prepare it May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lonaldo THE place to stay in the Eastern Sierra Nevada My family and I just completed a 5 day stay in the Westin during our ski vacation at Mammoth Mountain. We had an absolutely luxurious 2 bedroom suite with majestic mountain views. All of the amenities were positively top shelf. We really enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen which gave us a lot of flexibilities with our meals. The gas fireplace, three flat screen TV's and 2 spa-quality bathrooms really made for a relaxing stay. We booked the breakfast package, which I would definitely recommend. There's a Kids Club for hotel guests that our 4-year-old daughter really enjoyed. Plus there's a great outdoor pool and two over-sized hot tubs. The free ski valet service was a great touch. We left entirely relaxed and reinvigorated. We liked the hotel so much that we just booked another week-long stay in August to check out Mammoth in the summer. We always stay at 4 and 5 star hotels when on vacation so we have lots of experience with up-market lodging. Check out the Westin Monache and prepare to be pampered. April 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anon A bit of a gamble/Mixed Reviews This hotel is a bit of a mixed bag to me. On the plus side, the GM, Patrick Dougherty, was gracious and generous enough to upgrade my wife and I to a very well located top floor 1-bedroom suite with a great view, and I have no complaints about the room itself - modern and well put together. Unfortunately, there were a number of very negative customer service issues that 1) soured the trip; and 2) gave me the distinct impression that this particular property does not care much about SPG elite members. There were a number of major customer service problems with this property that rubbed me the wrong way. The "main" issues I saw were: 1) Late checkout - I am accustomed to 4 PM Late checkout as a Gold member. Even as a non elite member, I noticed numerous signs throughout the property touting their "sunday late checkout." If you value late checkout, forget about it. Here, not only do they not even address it at check-in (which would normally lead you to believe it isn't an issue, especially checking out on a Sunday), when you call to make sure you have it, they tell you to kick rocks. Have an injury from a day on the slopes that makes it tough to move around? A late flight and time to kill? Any reasonable need to really value that late checkout? The staff at this property clearly doesn't care and won't accommodate the late checkout you're used to so make sure you're prepared with backup plans to kill five and a half hours before your flight. Customarily this is inquired about at check-in. No mention was made so I naturally assumed there was no issue with it. 2) Whitebark Restaurant Service - I don't like to name names - although the food here is good quality, if you're in a rush or are not a fan of servers who pretty much don't acknowledge your existence and make you hunt them down for simple things like a pen that isn't out of ink to sign their bill, or an explanation of a random charge that doesn't look like it's yours, or to simply take your bill, then this isn't the place for you. Stick to room service at this property - the service at the restaurant is "less than desirable." 3) Resort Fee - Count on paying the $30ish resort fee, regardless of whether it's a point redemption or you're any type of elite member (Gold, Platinum, it doesn't matter according to the front desk here). Also count on not getting a clear explanation for why it won't be waived - it "just applies to everyone." So yea bottom line is if you don't really care about customer service or having the hotel staff recognize your SPG membership, the rooms and the grounds here are great and well-maintained, and the food doesn't taste half bad. Some people don't really care about customer service and those people I think would enjoy this property. March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lwinner wonderful time here Having our chocolate lab with us made our vacation even more special. The hotel provides a dog bed and bowls upon arrival. The staff, and I mean everyone, was accommodating and kind. We had a private shuttle to a restaurant with prompt pick up when we were finished. I called to have the room freshened and someone from housekeeping was there to see what was needed, immediately after I phoned, Probably the best surprise was the restaurant downstairs. We had high quality sushi at a very reasonable price. The service was, once again, attentive without being overbearing. Wonderful. If you bring children, the Village next door has activities sitting out for them on the plaza. Many restaurants have outdoor seating February 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tess57 proximity to ski fields we spent nearly 3 weeks here, we were picked up from the airport and spoilt with a glass of champagne on arrival. Everyone was keen to make sure our stay was fabulous, all staff were geninuely interested in us and m ade sure we got as much out of our holiday as possible. And yes we did, we had a great time and look forward to returning. February 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael007 Mammoth comforts First trip to Mammoth with kids and dogs for a ski vacation. Great hotel and wonderful room. staff were all exceptional and the location is ideal for the local village (walk down hotel steps - 75 of them) and for getting right to the slopes. December 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dan24 Pretentious front desk The room was great except the fact that when I arrived, I found that I had been given a room with a handicap bathroom. Nowhere was this mentioned on my booking itinerary. Also I called the front desk for a wake up call that I never received. Causing me to be late to an appointment with friends. September 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Vickigirl Ms S The hotel offered points if you forgo the replacement of linens everyday. We opted for this selection however the maids never come to our room to vacuum or clean the bathrooms for the entire 5 day stay and we did not receive the points. We had to empty our own trash everyday. We were not offered an upgrade or continental breakfast. The small refrigerator in the room did not work. We had to ask for ice everyday for our cooler. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sargeant Beautiful !!! Beautiful hotel, beautiful area, so much to do, my only problem I did not want to leave :) ! August 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Samland Almost but not Quite When you book a room at a Westin you expect to find a extra comfy bed, great pillows, a shower experience and a well maintained facility. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were rubbery, the shower head was so bad my wife refused to use it, and the number of burnt out light bulbs was surprising. The front desk staff was the biggest turn off. August 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by GH13 Westin Mammoth Lakes, CA I love this hotel because of the location in Mammoth, but the beds are the worst I have ever slept in at a Starwood Hotel. I sleep on the floor when I go here- the mattresses are so soft two people cannot share a bed. The fold out couch is worse. Also, there is no option for two queen beds at this property, it's King only, unless you get a two-bedroom which is expensive, and not how a couple would like to share a weekend. It's a shame because everything else about the hotel is great. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mammothdgb Underwhelming From the moment we tried to check in, this experience wasn't great. We requested an early check in. I know this is not guaranteed, but not only did we not get an early check in, but we were told that the room would be at least an hour late, and that we would be called when it was ready. We were never called and had to contact the hotel 1.5 hours after the scheduled check in time. As a concession, we were given 2 free breakfast passes, even though there were 4 of us. We decided to decline housekeeping services following the first day after returning to our room shortly before 5pm and finding that they had just started cleaning. Who starts cleaning a room at almost 5pm? Finally, we ordered room service for dinner one night and found that not only were they not accomodating to certian dietary restrictions, but that they could not deviate AT ALL from the room service menu in the room, even though we were informed that it was all coming from the kitchen in the restaurant below. This is not what was expected from a high end resort hotel. It did not at all live up to the Westin Standards. July 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tom1 Needs Management Adjustment Checked in to the hotel, being Starwood Platinum and asked at the front desk about a room upgrade, it also appeared that they had about a ten per cent occupancy rate. I was told that I had already been upgraded. I walked in the shoebox, umm room and was wondering if this was an upgrade what would I have gotten If I were not Platinum. I tried to use the wired internet for an important project, just to find there was no port. I picked up the cordless phone, and of course it didn't work either. After making the call on the other phone I waited for over thirty minutes, with no one showing up. On the second call I did get someone to come and fix the port. But, in the call I asked about the upgrade and I was told that they did not upgrade Starwood members, but I probably receive a view. Looking out of my small window I had a good view of the building and if I leaned over I could see the pool that was obviously not usable. Most hotels recognize the value of frequent stayers this one does not. If your a Starwood preferred guest stay away from this hotel because they do not care about your business. June 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sharon Room comfort problem The first night the room was overly warm and we discovered we had no air. We reported it the next day and were informed the next evening evening, just as we are leaving for a wedding and reception, that we would have to change rooms. We did not have time to change rooms so they told us to just keep the window open which we had already done and didn't help. We suffered with a hot room our entire visit. The refrigerator made a lot of noise and is probably the reason it was turned off when we arrived. I put on a white robe that was laid out on the bed and discovered lipstick marks on the sleeve of so it obviously was not cleaned since the last occupant.. There was no shampoo,or conditioner and one bar of soap for the sink and shower. This is a minor complaint but annoying. April 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by senecarose Not up to "Westin" standards We are owners with Starwood- at several different properties, however have usually stayed at a condo when coming to Mammoth, but decided we wanted "hotel convenience/luxury"- so called to book during our Spring Break and was told that there was only a studio available- which was fine we thought. I asked if we could upgrade when we arrived and was told the facility had lot of check ins during that time, but I could ask when I got there. So THEY KNEW a lot of people were arriving, however when we got there-after a 6 hour drive, @ 4:30 there was ONE bell man, 2 carts, a broken elevator and were told that 11 people had luggage to deliver before us. We took a few bags ourselves to the room to change and go eat downstairs. At 5:00 we were told we couldn't be seated in the VERY EMPTY restaurant, because within an hour reservations were coming in. TOTALLY empty mind you- no big deal, ate in the bar. By 6:30 restaurant was still empty- not a big deal, just annoying to be denied, but we had the same menu. Our 5 year old daughter wanted to go into the kids club- our luggage was STILL not in our room, and at this point sitting in the hallway- I had to go s/w the mgr. and have it taken up- it was 2 1/2 hours-wow. So the kids club had a hobbling bell man watching over the room- going in and out from somewhere else, but primarily un-attended- he said the girls that usually run it weren't there and he was helping out- but limping, and didn't know where things were in the room. DID NOT SEE A CONCIERGE AT THE DESK THE WHOLE TIME- and went down several times to ask for assistance and recommendations. Twice we came back from skiing- around 4:30 and our room was not cleaned- had to call downstairs when all we really wanted was to shower and go eat. Delores, the mgr. sent up complimentary breakfast tickets- for 2 people, althought we were 3 (they did take care of that), but then when I s/w her about the issues- she said she would "see what she could do, and get back to me", and never did. All in all the hotel experience was less than a $500.00 a night hotel should be, and we would have been just fine @ a condo. It was dissapointing. The staff was all pretty nice, but not worth the money for US, and disappointing as an owner. April 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by SJA66 Never again We have been visiting Mammoth Lakes regularly for the last 10 years and have stayed at a number of hotels in the town. I decided to try the Westin even though the prices are higher than other accommodation. Unfortunately upon arrival, I was told that my room was not ready and because I didn't have a U.S. cell phone (we are UK residents), the hotel refused call me to tell me that the room was ready! My room finally became available over 2.5 hours after the official time! The room that we booked (single bedroom suite) was comfortable but twice in 5 days I returned to room to find that it had not been cleaned and made up. The wifi /internet connectivity in the room was virtually nonexistent, as was the satellite TV reception which repeatedly froze. The prices for food and beverage are extortionate and the menu was limited. Worst of all though was the attitude of the front desk staff who were arrogant and obnoxious and who obviously cared little for their guests. An example of this was when after deciding to extend my stay in Mammoth Lakes, I enquired about room rates only to be quoted $600 per night! When I questioned why this was higher than my original booking room rate and if this included lift passes, I was told that because my stay was only 2 days, they couldn't offer a package?? I pointed out that I would be at the hotel for a total of 7 days but the Receptionist clearly did not care about securing repeat business for her employer. I therefore enquired with another hotel in the area and was quoted $487 for two nights, including lift passes – a bargain compared to the Westin. Early the next morning I checked out of the Westin and drove to the other establishment fully expecting, because of the time of day, that I would not be able to check in. How wrong I was – the front desk staff were hospitable and courteous, the exact opposite of the Westin. The room that I have reserved was not available so they upgraded me to a superior room and was allowed to check in at 7am - I was at the gondola at 8:30am! If you want good quality, value for money and don't want to be treated like second class citizens – avoid the Westin at Mammoth Lakes at all costs. April 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Platinum4u Disappointed in SPG Platinum Recognition Just got back from a 2 night stay. At check-in, asked if upgrade was available. I was advised that upgrades only available for a $100 fee per night. I was shocked (and offended) as 1st time a Westin has tried to charge me for an upgrade - I've been platinum for 12 years and am now lifetime platinum. Seems some of the rooms are privately owned/revenue shared. Still should not matter if they are licensed by Westin - either you provide SPG benefits or you don't get the starwood license. Apart from the bad taste left from the front desk, the rest of the stay was ok. Restaurant was good - had both dinner and breakfast. Room was decent and clean. Not much of a lobby and very small and dark gym. April 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Steven07 Great Location, Terrible Service First - If you are coming here for skiing, the location is excellent and you can rent anything you need at the hotel. You are next to village and slopes. However - the hotel is not accommodating at all. We had to wait an extra 2 hours to check into room. I chose to valet my car the first day, and when I needed my car it took 45 minutes - the staff could not find my car then forgot that I was there. 90% of the time there was no one at the front and concierge desks. There are only 2 elevators that always take a long time. The restaurant, though tasty, has terrible service despite not being busy. Even though I am Platinum, I was not given late checkout. Bottom line, If you are staying here only for skiing and have low expectations, this place might work for you. For me, Mammoth is the only city I will travel to and not choose Westin first. April 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jean57 Great Skiing What a beautiful hotel. Rooms are comfortable, quiet, well apportioned. Look forward to a return visit. March 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by luxducker mountain manners I stayed with the westin for one night. Upon arrival, we were offered champagne as SPG members. One glass was plastic and large, the other was glass and small. Quaint but not a deal-breaker, apart from the issue of plastic champagne flutes in general. Once in the room, the first towel taken from the shelf was found to be smudged with makeup and lipstick and have several dark hairs in its folds. A call to housekeeping yielded a gentleman who called it "pretty gross", but declined to comment further. When I asked if he could switch all the towels, instead of just replacing disgusting nappy #1, he shrugged and said "I guess so". The next morning I called to request a breakfast menu. The service operator insisted that I had one in my room. Only after I agreed that there might be one somewhere in the room, did she agree to have another sent up. She sent up a photocopied stack of papers, stapled together to serve as a menu, along with the breakfast pre-order door hangers. I called to ask if I could order from the door hanger. She said no, those had to be used the night previous. Since there were no door hangers in my room until just minutes earlier, I inquired if I could perhaps be allowed to order from them, since they had several items not included on my stapled sheaf of papers menu. She reluctantly consented with an audible sigh. Breakfast was nice. I called to ask for a late checkout, which was granted. Lovely, and much appreciated. When my wife returned from the pool 1.5 hours before the new checkout time, her room card didn't work. Down at reception she was told that "the Westin doesn't do late checkouts". After several minutes of conversation regarding the matter, my wife called me, and then reception declined to speak with me, telling her "it's ok, we just found the notation, but we don't usually do that". I am a travel editor for a silly magazine that no one reads, and a former bartender: point being: A. I don't write reviews for the pleasure of reading my own drivel, and B. I know the thankless drudgery of service jobs. Notwithstanding; the Westin Monache managed to be understatedly bumbling if not haplessly rude on more than several occasions in a 24 hour period. March 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYYanks527 So Glad I Stayed Here! I read a lot of the reviews for this property, as I do most of the time. I was concerned with some of the other Platinum member comments. All I can say is, don't believe it. This property is a gem. From the service and rooms, to the location and features. This was a family vacation with my wife and 5 year old daughter. We received an upgrade to a one bedroom suite, despite what you may read from others. We also were given complimentary continental breakfast for two, each day of the stay as a Platinum level benefit. The property has everything you would want or will need. We utilized both of the oversized jacuzzis, the kids club, ski rental and valet, the restaurant and bar. The hotel puts out complimentary champagne and hot chocolate each evening, which is very nice. They also offer shuttle service around the village and to other area dining and entertainment locations. All wonderful value added services. Speaking of service- it's fabulous! From the ski valet, Kevin; to the bellman/driver, Kyle; to Brandon at check-in; and most importantly, the hotel's GM, Brent- this is a well run and fantastic Starwood property. We are over-joyed with how well our trip went. Thank you to the entire Westin Monache Team! We look forward to a return visit this Spring. January 12, 2013

Hillsborough survivor Danny Rhodes has made a date to visit Deal Library to discuss his latest book about the disaster - which happened 25 years ago yesterday.
The talk will take place on Saturday, May 17 at 2pm, where Danny will read from his latest novel, 'Fan'.
The Canterbury author and creative writing teacher attended the game against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 14, 1989 when he was 18. But instead of seeing the match he was so excited to see, the Forest fan had a "grandstand view" of the worst tragedy in sporting history.
Fan tells the story of secondary school teacher John Finch, who revisits his home town 15 years after witnessing the tragic events at Hillsborough.
Described as a semi-autobiographical novel, Danny said: "John Finch is me really.
"Hopefully this book and the inquests taking place will give me the chance to put it all to bed" - Danny Rhodes
"A lot of the things that happened to John Finch in the book happened to me in real life. I had a few quite interesting life experiences that helped to build that character.
He said he hopes the inquests taking place into the 96 death will lead to families receiving long-awaited closure.
Danny added: "Hopefully this book and the inquests taking place will give me the chance to put it all to bed.
Other books by Danny Rhodes include Asboville (October 2006) and Soldier Boy (February 2009).

I like the tiny batman, and the colors are harmonious .
lovely colors. Looks like he is waiting for his catwoman <3

This is so simple & awesome!
This looks difficult to me.. I can´t figure out how to use photoshop. Please make a tutorial of some sort, just some basic stuff you do
I guess you can't figure out how to use google either.
It's really not that difficult. You just play around with shapes and gradients on different layers, then you play some more with blur filters and textures and, of course, colours. Try it out, I did this one out of pure accident. No person was intended to be in this picture, much less Batman. But it's fun, just try it.
Thanks for replying. I will try some more, even if I don´t understand what all of it means. Practising is the only way too be good though I suppose :]
That rock formation under him looks like he took a very sharp shit.
I love it <3
I love it <3
Pretty. Dunno what Batman's doing in a desert, but it's pretty.
He's the Batman. You can't question the Batman.

A drug dealer cracked his gang's code of silence Tuesday and ruined a boyhood friendship when he told a Denver jury that Brian Kenneth Hicks ordered the murder of a state witness.
Acting as sort of an interpreter for prosecutors and the jury, Vernone Edwards deciphered coded phone calls he says Hicks made from jail urging his underlings to make sure Kalonniann Clark was dead.
On tape, Clark is referred to as "Miss Piggy," and Edwards testified Hicks tried to get him and others to kill her. Edwards refused, but he did help Hicks pressure other gang members to get the job done and he helped find the funds to pay a hit man.
"He asked me if would I kill her and he would give me $10,000," Edwards said. "I told him I wouldn't do it."
Prosecutor Tim Twining asked Edwards how he felt about testifying against Hicks.
Edwards and Hicks took a long glance at each other.
"Me and Hicks were very close, and it's not easy to go and betray a friend like that and put myself in harm's way and put my family in harm's way," Edwards said. "But the truth is the truth and if I don't stand up, I could be in prison forever."
Clark was shot to death Dec. 6, 2006, after she ran from two masked gunmen who had kicked in the door of her home. She was chased into her front yard and shot in the shoulder and then the head.
Clark was days away from testifying that Hicks had fired shots at her outside a Denver nightclub in 2005. She and Hicks had a long-running dispute and were members of rival gangs.
The murder case against Hicks, the purported leader of a sect of the Tre Tre Crips gang, rests largely on the coded phone calls and the testimony of convicts and gang members.
The defense contends the witnesses have motives to lie because prosecutors offered them plea deals in their federal drug cases in exchange for their testimony.
Edwards was facing 30 years to life on his crack-cocaine trafficking case but could get 10 to 20 years if a federal judge is persuaded by prosecutors that he has cooperated.
Hicks' attorney, Wil Smith, said police made a rush to judgment with regard to the homicide and claims there are viable suspects still out there.
"There was evidence pointing away from Brian Hicks that police did not follow up on and allowed to be completely destroyed," Smith said.
Last year, Edwards also testified against Willie D. Clark, who was convicted of killing Denver Broncos player Darrent Williams.
Prosecutors say Willie Clark is one of the masked gunmen who killed Kalonniann Clark (no relation) and say he hired an associate, Shun Birch, to help carry out the hit. The two men will be tried separately after Hicks.
Prosecutor AnnMarie Spain summed up the meaning of Hicks' recorded phone calls for the jury in her opening statement.
"Over and over and over again, you will hear Mr. Hicks . . . 'Get over there and get it done. If you don't get it done, you are not going to see me again,' " Spain said. "He knows if she is killed that case will be dismissed. He is so desperate to get it done, he says it may have to get done 'under the street lights,' meaning out in the open. He is desperate to get bond and get out and take care of his business."
The trial continues today in the courtroom of Judge Christina M. Habas.

Of established family
August 20, 2009 at 5:14 pm (1800s Filipinas, 1900s Philippines, 2000s Philippines, Random memories, The Cebuanos, The Davaoenos, The Global Crowd, The Ilocanos, The Ilonggos, The Laguna Tagalogs, The Manilenos, The Negrenses, The Pampanguenos, The Past, The Tarlaquenos, The Tayabenses / Quezonians)
Many comparisons have been drawn between the "de buena familia" good families and the "nouveau riche" of Manila, Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines. But there is one thing I have not seen discussed, and it is the clan profile of a "de buena familia" vis-a-vis that of a nouveau riche/newly prosperous one.
Very noticeable in "de buena familia" good Filipino clans is that many members [ apart from the omnipresent miscreants and bad eggs ] are interesting, productive, sometimes outstanding individuals. The streak is noticeable in nuclear families, then the clan in general, and extends even to their allied families. In keeping with the culture of wealth and financial savvy, the young are provided with "good education" that hopefully ensures their future, "good" [ read: stringent ] not only in terms of academic excellence but also "good" [ read: well-off, if not outright rich ] in terms of classmates/peers having a similar, well-provided quality of life. Postgraduate degrees in prestigious universities abroad, the more and the more expensive the better, are essential for the competitive edge in later professional life. Because of generations of financial stability, even affluence, "good marriages" not unlike corporate mergers further and assure enjoyable social, and later profitable business, connections. That is why Lolo A is Chairman of the Board of Company A, Lolo B the majority stockholder of Conglomerate B; Lola C is President of Company C, Lola D is Chair of of the Board of Company D. It is why Daddy is Chairman of the Board of of Company E and Mommy is the President of Company F. And why Tito G heads Corporation G and Tita H owns Company H. It's All in the Family, Filipino-style.
What is interesting in nouveaux riches/newly prosperous Filipino clans is that it is usually just one family member, or if they're lucky then one nuclear family, who has "made it big." Then the relatives, by degrees of closeness, gravitate and revolve around him/her/them like moons around a planet or planets around the sun. Thus, in such a family, it is not surprising that the housekeeper is actually a maternal aunt, the "yayas" female cousins, the drivers uncles and male cousins, the secretaries sisters, and so forth and so on. One can certainly take the view that the successful family member has taken on the duty of uplifting everybody else in the family or clan. Very Filipino.
What are your observations?
August 16, 2009 at 7:42 pm (2000s Philippines, Angst, Personal, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, The Pampanguenos, Tristesse)
I don't know about you, but I've had enough of Politics for a while.
Because of the various posts in this blog, People think of Toto Gonzalez as pro-GMA, anti-GMA, pro-Estrada, anti-Estrada, pro-Ramos, anti-Ramos, pro-Aquino, anti-Aquino, pro-Marcos, anti-Marcos. I couldn't possibly be pro-Macapagal, anti-Macapagal, pro-Garcia, anti-Garcia simply because I wasn't born yet.
The Truth is that I am NOT pro- or anti- ANYBODY. Being all too human, I am just too aware of the humanity — the strengths as well as the weaknesses — in everybody. I understand what it is like for most people, in most cases.
I'm going back to the pleasures of the past, when Life was not nearly as complicated as this one…
Filipino Business will support…
August 16, 2009 at 2:10 pm (2000s Philippines, Angst, Current Events, Humor, Random memories, The Cebuanos, The Davaoenos, The Global Crowd, The Ilocanos, The Ilonggos, The Laguna Tagalogs, The Manilenos, The Negrenses, The Pampanguenos, The Tarlaquenos, The Tayabenses / Quezonians)
"LAHAT!!! BIGYAN ANG LAHAT… PARA WALANG ANGAL!!! Give everybody… so no one complains!!!" declared Insouciant Heiress.
"LAHAT???!!! All of them??? You can't be serious…"
"I am."
"Well, your dear cousin is running. Is she included in LAHAT???"
"And what about you?" I asked Powerful Lady, a force in Philippine Business.
"We have to get someone who is good for Business. GMA is good for Philippine Business. Somebody like her who knows his/her Economics…"
"Somebody like Manny?"
"Not quite. We had difficulties with him and all those Camella Homes…"
"Somebody like Mar?"
"Maybe. Now Mar really knows his Economics. But he's marrying Korina. She's not popular by the looks of it. We have nothing against her. But she might bring him down… you know the majority of voters."
I turned to Irascible Industrialist. "So if Danding supports Chiz, will you support him too?"
"Depends. Hey, somebody will have to tell Chiz to go back to school. He doesn't make sense. His figures don't make sense. Posturing at the podium ala JFK isn't enough!"
"Why can't he be more like Ralph? Ralph went back to school and now he really knows his facts and figures. Smart guy, that Ralph. He's got a brain! Between him and Vilma, the presidency is a breath away. I'd vote for Ralph anytime!"
"I agree with you about Ralph." interjected Powerful Lady.
"What about Gilbert?"
"That guy is great but the voters don't know him. He should have had more exposure these recent years. It's a pity his uncle Danding isn't backing him. Those Cojuangcos are divided: Gilbert's mother Ditas versus Danding. Nikki's beauty can be a real political asset, great for stupid voters, but those Cojuangcos have the darndest things to say about her…"
And I turned to Taipan. I politely asked: "Who will you support, sir?" He smiled beatifically, as if he had not understood what I had asked. "Who will you support for President next year, sir?" He expertly turned the question around to me: "Who will you support?" "Does it matter who I will support, sir?" He smiled and winked naughtily: "Does it matter who I will support, my friend?" "Of course, it matters, sir, very much!" "To tell you the truth," he whispered, "I will have to support everyone who asks, but I will give more to the one I know will win." "How do you know who will win, sir?" "WE will make him win. WE will make him win." And he smiled beatifically as if he had not spoken a word. Like Buddha.
As for Toto Gonzalez, he will support himself. Harharhar! :P :P :P
In defense of PGMA
August 15, 2009 at 3:50 pm (2000s Philippines, Current Events, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, The Pampanguenos)
At a recent dinner, I had the serendipity to be seated directly across a powerful lady long considered a force in the Filipino business community, and she, of all people, had wonderful things to say about the president and the economic state of the nation…
"Tell me what's happening now. Are you pro- or anti- GMA?"
"You can't brand me as pro-GMA. We're both strong women and we've had 'run-ins.' I'm 'mataray' and she's 'mataray.' We had a shouting match in the chapel at Saint Luke's [ Saint Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City ] when Mike was really sick. But credit must be given where it is due. In this case, to her." she qualified.
"Do you honestly think that we could be here partying if everything had fallen apart economically??? Do you know anyone here who really got affected badly? You… were you badly affected? No! See what I mean?" she asked.
"Not seriously, Thank God. But we're OK now. Could be worse, you know." I replied.
She nodded in agreement. "That's because the economic buffers are in place. That's why we haven't fallen apart. She really knows her economics."
"That's her advantage over Erap. Her expertise on economics. Erap is an expert on every other thing — wine, women, and song — but economics." I recalled.
"If we go technical, I can tell you the figures of our current [ economic ] state… They're actually good." she suggested.
"Oh please, spare me the figures!" I mock-pleaded.
She declared: "She's the only president who has managed to make payments on our foreign debts. The only one!!! I talked to Say [ Central Bank Governor Amando Tetangco ]… 'Where exactly are we???' And he said: 'We're out of IMF.'" [ IMF – International Monetary Fund ].
"We're out of IMF???!!!" I asked, incredulous. Unbelievable because new loans from IMF were daily breakfast fare during the Marcos era.
She continued: "Say said: 'Look, I've announced it several times already, but nobody's paid attention!' "
"Infrastructure is all over the place. Roads, bridges, the works! I talked with Alfred [ Alfredo Romualdez Jr. ] and he said roads and bridges are coming up all over the Visayas. The action is outside Manila. One has to see it to believe it!" she explained excitedly.
"What about the supposed 40 % payment one has to make at the Malacanang palace for a deal to be approved?" I inquired audaciously.
"Not true! If you know Mike [ First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo ] as well and as long as I have, you know he's not capable of it. Too much of a gentleman."
"What about the vicious rumor going around chichi social circles during the First Gentleman's hospitalization: that the President had spent much time in the Saint Luke's presidential suite with her laptop recording the trail of USD $$$ and EE Euro placements remembered and dictated by her ailing husband, lest he die and the whereabouts of all that money be lost?" I asked, curious about her version of the story, of which she had none.
"Not true! He was really sick and she was really worried."
"And what about the supposed 70 % cut of the Arroyos in the settlement of the Marcos USD $$$ and EE placements and properties?" I naughtily asked.
"Not true! Do you think they would agree? Do you think Greggy would agree? No way. Not Greggy."
The Odd Couple
August 10, 2009 at 5:10 pm (1900s Philippines, 2000s Philippines, Angst, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, The Pampanguenos, Tristesse)
The seniors of any society possess real treasures in terms of memories and experiences. And it was my privilege and honor to have sat down a few days ago with some senior Kapampangan "kabalen" — powerful, influential, and prominent politicians in their time — who regaled me with so many of their memories, among them comic but genuine recollections of the first Kapampangan president, "Cong Dadong," and his [ second ] wife, "Ache Eva"…
"First of all, Cong Dadong was not exactly the "poor boy from Lubao." True, he was not rich in the way the old line Spanish mestizo hacenderos of Lubao, Floridablanca, and Guagua were [ like the Arrastia, the Toledo, the Toda, the Ynfante, the Velez, and the Gonzalez { originally Bravo } were ]. But destitute, he was definitely not. His father, Urbano Macapagal, a poet, was actually already a political leader in the town. The distinguished philanthropist Don Honorio Ventura of Bacolor, then the Secretary of the Interior during the Quezon presidency, saw the potential of Cong Dadong and financed his law studies at the University of Santo Tomas. That was the start of something big."
"When Cong Dadong first ran for representative of the first district of Pampanga in 1949 upon the urging of several local leaders to President Quirino, he earnestly requested the heiress Carmen 'Mameng' Angeles Buyson of Bacolor to desist from running for the office. Mameng Buyson was a virtual shoo-in for Congresswoman because of her expensive, high education and her 'hacendero' family's great wealth. Cong Dadong reasoned to Mameng that a 'poor Macapagal' from Lubao could not win against a 'rich Buyson' from Bacolor. In true 'de buena familia' form, Mameng graciously acceded to his request. Cong Dadong won the seat by a landslide."
"Well, Ache Purita, his first wife, died of sickness in 1943. She was a sister of the handsome actor Rogelio de la Rosa. Three years later in 1946, he married the Pangasinense, Ache Eva. Ah, she was one difficult woman. Basically a good woman, but a difficult one."
"It was a 'chicken and egg' situation. Ache Eva did not like us Capampangans because she felt that we discriminated her because she was Pangasinense, aside from the fact that she was the second wife when the first one, Ache Purita, was Capampangan and one really beautiful woman, outside and inside."
Oh, that marriage had its share of quarrels like everyone else's. There was the time when his first grandchild with Ache Purita was baptized. Cong Dadong arrived late dressed only in his "camisa chino" [ the buttoned undershirt of the "barong tagalog" ] and he seemed to be in sixes and sevens. With obvious irritation, he explained that Ache Eva did not want him to attend, and in the ensuing argument she had torn his "barong tagalog" to shreds! He requested liquor because he just wanted to drink. He drank himself to stupor that night. We all remember that well."
"We joked him that he and Ache Eva were following in the footsteps of President Manuel Roxas and his First Lady Trinidad de Leon. Cong Dadong just shook his head. President Roxas and his First Lady Dona Trining were memorable for their marital squabbles, mainly because of his lady friend, Juanita MacIlvain — sometimes in plain view during functions, sometimes only the angry exchanges were heard behind those Malacanang rooms. Many of our older colleagues attested to that."
"One time, [ Congressman ] Francisco "Paquito" / "Quitong" Nepomuceno brought some Angeles town officials to the Malacanang palace to meet with Cong Dadong. The waiting room had photographs of the presidents and their first ladies. When one town official peered closely at the photo of Ache Eva, Paquito warned: "E ca lalapit caya, abe! Quietan na ca niyan!" [ "Don't go near her, friend! She will bite you!" ]. They all laughed. Well, to their amusement, the joke reached Ache Eva and she was livid!"
"Imelda Romualdez-Marcos was NOT the first Philippine first lady to have a collection of fine jewelry. Evangelina Macaraeg-Macapagal preceded her to it. And before Ache Eva, it was Leonila Dimataga-Garcia. Ache Eva collected fine jewelry and she definitely preceded Imelda Marcos as a VIP client of Liding Miranda-Oledan. Ache Eva had a very considerable collection! Look at President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo closely during official functions, she wears beautiful jewelry which are NOT new but actually vintage. Those are from Ache Eva and most likely purchased from Liding Oledan. Ache Eva also bought from the other major Capampangan jewelers of the time like Tinay Gonzalez and Ache Ines Lugue-Sarmiento, the mother of Fe Sarmiento-Panlilio, who rose to the international big leagues during the Marcos years and became 'The International Jeweller.'"
Guess Who???
August 10, 2009 at 3:12 pm (1900s Philippines, 2000s Philippines, Angst, Current Events, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, The Pampanguenos, The Tarlaquenos, Tristesse)
It is the story circulating among Social Manila's elegant dinner tables that in one lucid moment during her final days of illness at the ICU Intensive Care Unit of the Makati Medical Center, the dying Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco-Aquino finally spoke about the masterminds and the assassins of her husband, Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., on that fateful day of 21 August 1983.
The story of Cory in the ICU cannot be verified at present.
However, the truth about the Aquino assassination, if and when it is finally made public, is eagerly awaited by millions and millions of Filipinos around the world.
With the recent passing of former President Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco-Aquino, and as the 26th anniversary of that fateful day of 21 August 1983 fast approaches, One important question still looms in the minds of millions and millions of Filipinos just like you and I, here in the Philippines and elsewhere in the world…
OK, OK, OK, President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos said that Rolando "Lando" Galman, whoever he was, did it. Poor Rolando Galman. They just fattened him for the kill, like "lechon." They didn't even have the decency to fix him up for his final "one moment in time" press kit — no makeup artist, no hairdresser, no tailor, no society photographer. Well, at least he had his fifteen minutes of fame, or notoriety, whichever. I believe that Rolando Galman killed Ninoy Aquino as much as Yosemite Sam killed Daffy Duck in the "Merrie Melodies" cartoons.
But I do believe that President Ferdinand Marcos was far too intelligent, much too brilliant, and way too prescient to have ordered Ninoy Aquino's assassination. One must never forget that he was the ultimate master of the Filipino psyche. Unless he was having a "stupid moment" and saying "What was I thinking?" which all humans have at some points of their lives anyway.
On the other hand, there is the persistent story that upon finally being informed of the assassination of Ninoy Aquino at the MIA Manila International Airport that afternoon, the already very ill President Ferdinand Marcos hurled an object, usually said to be a vase, towards his First Lady, Imelda Marcos. At that time, it was said that he was not at the Malacanang palace; he was supposed to have been confined at the new Kidney center of the Philippines in Quezon City. Nurses outside the room swore that they heard a breakable object crash to the floor and invectives hurled by the very ill President at both Madame Marcos and General Ver.
There are people, mostly anti-Marcos, who claim that if that story was true, then President Marcos, First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos, and General Fabian Ver were just "play-acting"…
Another persistent story, certified true by close Marcos and Romualdez family members, was that upon being informed of the assassination of Ninoy Aquino at the MIA Manila International Airport, the already very ill and very weak President Marcos sat up on his hospital bed, as if from an electric shock, and declared: "Oh no! This is the end! This is the end of all of us!!!"
One of my mentors, the deliciously, wickedly, incorruptibly corrupt Eminence Gris, never fails to remind me that everything boils down to MONEY. "Pera lang yan." he insists. If one has a question about anything, specially in politics and government, not only in the Philippines but everywhere else in the world, The answer is money. Why did the USA wage war in Iraq? Money. Why did the USA have a financial meltdown? Money. Why does the USA do business with China? Money. Why did Communist China turn capitalist? Money. Why did Ferdinand Marcos remain as President of the Philippines for 21 years? Money. Why did the USA abandon Ferdinand Marcos and support Corazon Aquino during the EDSA Revolution? Money. Why do we have a never-ending Communist insurgency? Money. Why do we have a never-ending Islamic insurgency in Mindanao? Money. Why do all those candidates — Manny Villar, Mar Roxas, Gilbert Teodoro, Chiz Escudero, Loren Legarda, Jamby Madrigal, Bayani Fernando, Jejomar Binay, et. al. — want to become the President of the Philippines in 2010? Money.
Why was Ninoy Aquino killed??? Because of money.
In the study of this 26 year-old mystery case, the crucial question is: Who had the most to lose in terms of money — if Ninoy Aquino returned to the Philippines — before 21 August 1983???
President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos?
First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos?
Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Fabian C. Ver?
Vice Chief of Staff General Fidel V. Ramos?
Defense Minister Juan Ponce-Enrile?
Multimillionaire businessman Benjamin "Kokoy" Trinidad Romualdez, Imelda Marcos' younger brother?
Multimillionaire businessman Eduardo "Danding" Murphy Cojuangco Jr.?
The CIA Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America?
The CPP Communist Party of the Philippines / The NPA New People's Army / Jose Maria Sison?
Years ago, a top official of the Marcos administration, privy to the highest and innermost circles, and yes, almost a "crony," told me, without revealing anything: "You will have to wait until we are all dead, hijo. Several are still alive and active in national politics and big business. It was very complicated… It was not one, not two, not even three people involved, but several. An entire cast of characters as exciting as a suspense thriller movie. James Bond 007 had nothing to compare! You will be surprised by who was actually involved as well as by who was actually not involved. It was initially planned in a sports facility. The intelligence operatives knew about it. Even I knew it was going to happen. I contemplated sending my family abroad. But what could I do except wait for the moment of damnation… of all of us???"
Moment of damnation indeed.
And the moment of redemption for the Filipino people and their nation.
Post Script: By February of 1985, one year before the EDSA Revolution, the Marcos administration was already faced with tremendous difficulties — including the worsening SLE systemic Lupus erythematosus of President Ferdinand Marcos — to the point that the First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos had quietly requested her family members: "Pray. Please pray and pray hard. For it is all about to end."

I assume that most of us have read through [ in whole or in part ] the major treatises on power, the most basic being Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," to Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Bataille, Lacan, Foucault, Derrida all the way to the most recent works by O'Brien, et. al..
Given the nature and the requirements of political power, we need not wonder why our leaders act the way they do. It's all a natural, logical progression of political survival.

Whatever anyone says, she is still the most powerful lady in the land, and she can certainly order your head to roll if she wants.
I cannot comprehend how she has become so unpopular…
I still remember the time in 2000 when we were desperate to have her become the President of the Philippines, as we were quickly and surely sinking deeper and deeper [ as in Madonna's song "Deeper and Deeper" :P :P :P ] under the leadership of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, a handsome, charismatic, debonair, dapper, dashing, sexy alpha male / macho man whose temperament and habits were not quite suited to the demands of being the President of the Philippines.
I don't know whom to believe…
The gentlemen say that she has the Philippine military effectively in her grip. They are very happy with their generous compensations from the palace. That is why she can scold and humiliate them openly and freely during cabinet meetings and other public affairs without fear of their retaliation. That is why the gentlemen claim that we will no longer have any "coup d' etat" during the remaining tenure of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo: Every single key person from the top general to the mere barangay functionary from Aparri to Jolo is on a regular, considerable payroll from Malacanang Palace.
It sounds logical if you ask me. Rather Machiavellian… and I daresay brilliant of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, if that is indeed what she has been doing. After all, "Money makes the world go round" is a universally acknowledged reality. :P
The Ladies say that the Philippine military has her effectively in their grip. They claim that she cannot make a single move without the assent and support of her generals. The ladies claim that the "balance of power" was much affected when the "Hyatt 11" technocrats — eleven highly-qualified and principled Cabinet secretaries — withdrew their support from President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo: it paved the way for PGMA to be wholly dependent on her reliable and loyal military men and thus the power at the palace came to be monopolized by the Philippine military.
It doesn't sound logical if you ask me, for the "Hyatt 11" had no real political power [ probably moral power, but that's an entirely different question, we're dealing with reality here :P ] but that's what the ladies say. They venture further that it was precisely at that time that the bigtime gambling lords and the USD $$$ multimillionaire industrialists further consolidated their influence / hold / grip on President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo by putting their big money where their mouths and motives were. Smart people if you ask me: "Rub my back and I'll rub yours." :P
The gays say that her couturiers can't get her body proportions — particularly the proportion, construction, execution and movement of her "terno" sleeves — therefore her dresses, right and that she remains, on account of her short stature and difficult proportions, the couture nightmare that the legendary Ramon Valera once considered her to be, along with superstar Nora Aunor [ The Charice Pempengco of the early 1970s ].
Now, Trust The Gays to notice the darndest things about Anybody…
Granted, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is not the ethereally beautiful, tall, long-limbed, soignee swan that is the former First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos. But then, how many Ladies are? Neither were Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino, Amelita Ramos, Rosemarie Jimenez-Arenas, Ricky Reyes, nor Luisa Ejercito, G*ia Gomez, nor La*rni Enriquez.
By popular — or unpopular??? — demand. Go, ravers and ranters!!!
Problems in Paradise

When I was in my early teens at the onset of the Reagan 1980s, the most popular television shows were "Dallas," "Dynasty," and "Falcon Crest," probably in keeping with the zeitgeist of materialism and excess. All three series were about rich and powerful families and all the sordid and distasteful things that happened to them.
Also in those days, I very much enjoyed the novels and articles of the American writer Dominick Dunne: "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles," "Fatal Charms: And Other Tales of Today," "People Like Us," "An Inconvenient Woman," "The Mansions of Limbo," and the others. I so delighted in them that I could easily visualize the characters in real life and effortlessly remember entire passages in the books.
As I grew older and as my circles grew ever wider, I realized that I did not need to watch American television nor read American books for that sort of entertainment [ not that I have stopped :P ]. It was all happening in Manila all along. And it was happening right before my very eyes…
Over lunch for two, the matriarch of a grand clan spoke plainly of her many problems…
"My brother wants to run for mayor of our hometown next year and he is demanding that we release Php 500 million from the family funds to totally ensure his victory. I think he is going to buy every single vote. Oh, the money is there, no problem, but why should we release it just like that? He is not the only one in the family. We work hard and honestly for our money. It shouldn't be wasted."
"My sisters and I went to our lawyers yesterday. We want to know how we can effectively block his unreasonable demand for funding. TOO MUCH!!! The next step is to hire bodyguards, perhaps Ex-Army straightshooters, for us and most everyone else in the family. If he doesn't get what he wants, he's perfectly capable of shooting and killing even us, his siblings."
"And then he got into big trouble with four of his business partners. He is threatening to kill them and they are threatening the same. They already sent him a "barong tagalog" and a coffin. But he is fearless, really fearless!!! In fact, I don't know what planet he came from. I had to act before it all blows out of proportion and we all get killed. I called Gloria, Mike, Noli, Manny, Johnny, and several others to help me smooth it out. Thankfully they did. I called the political favors back so now it is I who owe them favors. Hay…"
"And then there was this one government official who would not back down. He even refused to grant me an appointment. It was a good thing that mutual friends knew he had the hots for this young actress. But she was playing "hard to get" and refused to have anything to do with him. I sent an emissary to her, with the message that I would pay anything, any amount she wanted, for her to entertain the official's attentions and if necessary to go to bed with him with the condition that she must get him to decide IN MY FAVOR. She quoted Php 40 million and I agreed. She not only got him to decide in my favor, she even became his mistress and enjoyed his largesse. She made money from both of us!!! But then, both the official and I got what we wanted. So all's well that ends well."
"And the matter of all those illegitimate children!!! My God, he's like a dog in heat: children in every corner of town!!! He has many more illegitimate children than his legitimate ones. My poor legitimate nephews and nieces… what will be left of his estate to them, practically "nada"!!! Can you imagine all these exotic creatures — some of them are sooooo dark! Eeewww! —greeting and kissing me "Tita!"??? "Esas son hijas de las criadas, nada mas!!!" Worse, they will be carrying our family name!!! Ay, just thinking about it will give me a cerebral aneurysm!!!"
