Another one

One abusado is not enough. Here’s another one. Now it’s very clear that there are a lot of people like them. Mga abosado, walay respeto. I don’t think they’re not aware that this is not a parking space. Mga abosado lang gyud.

Hard-headed, abosado

I don’t know if the owner of this vehicle is from Butuan or from the neighboring places. But one thing I’m sure- the owner (or the driver) of this car belongs to the group of hard-headed citizens. People who do not respect the law. The kind of animal who think that they are above the law. In short, abosado. Why on earth that this car was parked in this side of the parking area? When will start showing respect to others?

Are you authorize?

At the back of the City Hall, this sign was hanged. What does it mean? Only authorize personnel are allowed to smoke? Holy, Piguk! Maybe I just miss something.

Beauty never comes late

ms bikini 2008

For the past 30 min. I was browsing the web looking for materials about Butuan. Not much has been written about my beloved city. There were bloggers like me who write but only did it occasionally. Usually these write-ups were journals and diaries of their visit. I don’t believe there’s nothing worth writing about Butuan. Butuan is an interesting place- full of history and a lot of friendly people. However, there were a number of superb photo blogs in the web. Many of these collections are found in flicker.com. Just type butuan in the search space and click. Of the images I found what interest me were the photo collections of beautiful ladies. The above photo is one of those. Though it was taken during the 2008 Ms. Bikini Contest but I believe posting it here is not late. Beauty never comes late. It will never die.

Metered taxes, holy cow!

I can’t believe what I saw. I was shocked reading this information from the official Butuan City homepage. Was the site hacked? I think not.

This is an example of “irresponsible” posting of information.

Butuan in Wikipedia

wikipedia

Wikipedia is considered as one of the best sources of information in the web. It is maintained by volunteers. The contents are contributed by the public. Though Wikipedia has its own problem but many still considered it as one of the best references in any subjects.

Caraga has a fair share of information in the Wikipedia. For researchers or anybody who want to know about Caraga, Wikipedia is the site. But this is not true for Butuan. The information about the City is insufficient. There are even entries that are misleading.

Butuan is known to be the coolest place in south east asia

A cruise along the river barangays reveals much about Butuan’s history, culture, arts, and people, and as a tribute to the Patroness of the Agusan River Senora Sta. Ana, the Abayan Festival was born – a day-long celebration of baroto races and fluvial procession at the Agusan River.

I think it’s high time for Butuanons to do his/her share of enriching the city’s information. For people in the City Tourism office, Wikipedia is the best place to share information. The cost is minimal compared to the hundred thousand of promo materials that you keep on proposing.

Hope, there is

water

Explainer: A water droplet wriggles up a hot piece of brass with sawtooth ridges, like an inchworm.

An article in MSNBC announced that “scientists can make water run uphill”. A thought that for quite sometime seemed unimaginable.

What may be impossible yesterday, is a reality of today. Just like Butuan- there is always a bright possibility ahead. After all where else can Butuan move except up.
