Giant Damsel fly

I visited a brook below the last of the 300 steps stairs found in Floridablanca, Pampanga. We had difficulty shooting giant blue damselflies flying free and alighting in rocks in the natural environment. So Ka Jojo Nuqui caught one and after we photographed the specimen released it afterwards.

Bloopers in Google News.

Google news has an automated news gathering program which sometimes goes awry. Here is one which appears under the section of Science:




Someday I will make my own web craping news program, the unfortunate thing is the lack of time. In general though, news.google.com is simply spot on!

Identity theft from being curious.

Here is a prime example how identity theives get private information from your Internet activities. These photos were grabbed from my Facebook notifications. I am thinking of unfriending anyone who posts such dangerous video links.

Travel: online booking from Cebu Pacific with forced "optional" addon charges

Strange! I cannot post photos in my Wordpress blog. So I repeat my newest
article with a photo this btime in blogger.
I am amazed at Cebu Pacific online booking program adding "optional" addons, despite not
clicking to add insurance or the option to choose a seat or even extra baggage allowance.
These plus a web admin charge totals a whopping P800 extra charges!

Mt. Pamaza-pasam Aurora /???
Lantad, Camarines /???
Mt. Kanlandog Negros Occidental /???

This is not definitive! The DENR should be the official source of information, but we will edit the list as new information comes in. For example, Mt. Silay, Mt. Mandalagan and Mt. Kanlandog are not in the list??!!
