The financial crisis is far from over.  After this US$700 Billion bail out comes another potential disaster with Americans spending far more than they can afford by using credit cards.  Industry analysts are pegging the bailout, if there needs to be one, at US$950 Billion!

The only good news, it seems, is that oil has finally come down to reasonable levels again- hitting US$78 per barrel, slicing down to almost 50% of its high just a month ago.  Some people think this spells bad news, that the economy is taking a turn for the worse and so investments are being pulled out.

My personal opinion is that oil shouldn’t have gone up so high in the first place.  There was no demand for it to surge to the prices it did- it was all speculation in the markets.

When will we see the end of this?  Should be soon as this latest round of bad debt potentially blowing up in America’s face seems far-fetched.  There’s a very big difference between not being able to afford to pay your mortgage and not being able to pay your credit card bill.

At the same time, its a wake up call for America that is on the magnitude of 9/11.  America’s decline is almost cemented in the stars already.  Just like the UK’s superiority waning at the turn of the 20th century, so is America’s shining beacon of light is coming to an end this 21st century.

Mich said “I’m taking my chances. Hope you could feature a nice review about my site.”  She didn’t have to worry at all as this blog is chock full of fun as well as information.  

BEST CONTENT IN THE BLOG (in our opinion)

We especially enjoyed her posts about her travels in Bohol, Mindoro, Palawan & Pangasinan where she does not spare on the details- essential for those who have never been to these gorgeous islands.

OUTSTANDING PHOTOS

Most important, we feel, and what really makes her blog stand out are the beautiful pictures of people and places all over the Philippines- all original. Here’s her Flickr Stream if you just want to take in the sites.

MOST AMUSING

And as the Philippines has the longest Christmas in the world, it would be wrong not to have a list of Christmas Bazaars to hit for 2008.

Mich’s motto is “life is beautiful, yet too short.”  Let that be today’s advice for whatever you plan to do today.  Don’t forget to check out her blog!

We give five stars (if that’s the max you can give) to this blog that is about, “The Linky Linky to the Weird and Dinky.”  A truly hilarious blog filled with all sorts of nonsense from the world, it is highly entertaining and you never know what to expect next.

Some of the stories are quite gross to be honest, such as Tocino mixed with Feminine Napkin, which was a recent headline of tabloid People’s Tonight.  There are also expostulations on why men are liars.  It also claims to have proof that President Arroyo is a skrull and that’s why the Philippines is going to the dogs. There’s even a post about the robot Grendaizer being angry.

Bring a bottle of salt and pinch some out every time you feel that the content is too much because we’re sure you’re gonna want to keep looking even if you already want to stop.  We guarantee that you’ll have a blast going through its blog archives if you’ve never seen this awesome blog.  Go visit already!
