May 28, 2008 - Cebu Philippines: Lovely & brother JR homeless & begging at 8:45am
Nokia E61i phone camera: f/3.2 at 5.0mm
I'd seen these two children before in Cebu City, sleeping on the sidewalk in the middle of the day, near where Arvin sleeps & hangs out (Kevin Weir's been buying Arvin meals & slippers while he's been here; Arvin's images in posts below)
I was having coffee outside last week while I was in Cebu, and Lovely & her baby brother walked by begging for money, and since I don't give money and I told her the same in Visayan.
I left my table and told them to both stay there, and that I'd get them something to eat - and I went up the street to a local store that had fresh local Filipino dishes daily, and ordered 2 fish, 3 rice and a porkchop for take out (to-go)
I walked back to them, gave them the food (they didn't eat it immediately; they were very shy about eating in front of me - strange when they seemed so aggressive asking for money) and I knelt down beside them and asked their names and where they were from, etc.
I didn't have my Olympus E-1 with me, but I did have my phone which has a 2MP camera, and I'm glad I had that with me.
Lovely told me she's 15 years old and I was shocked...she's so small for that age, and she told me in passable English that her 2 year old baby brother's name was JR, and that there are 12 children in her Family, and that they both sleep on the street as no one looks after them.
I noticed JR's scalp was shaved clean, and Lovely sat there with a piece of glass and carefully scraped her brother's head clean, most likely to prevent insects & lice.
Only after that did they open the take out package and eat their breakfast right there on the sidewalk.
Good Sunday morning to you all,

Cebu Philippines: Marlon photographed at 5:08pm
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/400s f/2.8 at 14.0mm iso200
I've been off line as I had to get back to Cebu City to get re-ticketed back to the USA on Cathay Pacific Airlines a few weeks early, for work - and to make arrangements for my Cebu to Manila flight.
I met up with Kevin Weir and we both went out to see Lisa & LetLet's Family to get some meals for the kids & bring the Family some needed rice (rice prices are still very high here and long lines can still be seen at the rice vendors when giving out tickets to buy subsidized rice at P18.50 per kilo)
The kids weren't home when we arrived, so we wandered down to the Pier to see some other Families we know & help feed, and we ran into little Marlon (Amon) who's mute & partially deaf, and he looked as good as we've ever seen him - his hairs grown out from the crew cut a few months back, and he was clean and smiling.
I really like this portrait of him, and where I usually do black & white images of him, the happy tone of his smile made me want to leave his image in color.
The food poisoning bug has just about left me entirely; my energy is back and I don't ever want to get that sick again - I was totally bed ridden with fever and little strength to do anything else.
My thanks to Kev for donating the meals & rice, and to Summer Irish for taking care of me when I was so sick; for hydrating me and for summoning the doctor to my cottage when I was at my worst, as I couldn't physically get into a car or onto a motorcycle to get to the hospital.

Bantayan Island, Philippines: Papa David's Russi Motorcycle, post restoration.
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/50s f/2.8 at 14.0mm iso400
Earlier this month I returned Papa David's motorcycle as promised, as the Family was expecting it and needing it back, and they are delighted to have this bike back after all the restoration work I had done to it (new seat, tires/tubes & wheel hubs, muffler, mirrors, battery, headlights, signal lights)
Compared to the poor & unsafe condition of the bike when they gave it to me, it's essentially a new bike - and now the Family can enjoy the benefits of a safe ride now.
The bike was abused out of necessity & not intent, as when a poor Family has a little extra money, they feed their Family first.
While everyone here in Philippines takes about the strength of HONDA motorcycles (and rightly so), I have to say that when this Russi engine seized up on me 20klm outside town in early Feb. 2008 and ground to a halt due to having no oil in the engine - it never blew smoke after the oil change I had done, despite being dry for who knows how long, and still runs relatively strong today in spite of its carberator issues.

Bantayan Island, Philippines: Lisa & LetLet enjoy Kota Beach at 5:36pm
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/250s f/5.6 at 54.0mm iso100
I've been seriously ill with diarrhea & vomiting, horrible cramping and fever, vertigo and severe dehydration, which was a separate episode from being ill a few weeks ago - and I'm just beginning to recover now, and am able to spend some time on the computer.
It was surely food related, and I suspect some fruit (red grapes in particular) that I ate last week, bringing a recurance of the severe sickness I experienced in Laguna Province on my first visit to Philippines in 2003, after eating the same.
I'll be ok, and I wanted to share an image from Lisa & LetLet's visit to Bantayan with Kevin Weir last month, where they enjoyed a real beach for the first time.
Lisa & LetLet's brothers & sisters come from a very poor but loving Family in Cebu, and before Kevin brought them here, had never ventured outside their city and seen a quiet and safe Island.
Thanks for reading today, and I'll be getting more content up as I recover here.

"BANGKOK, Thailand - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon heads to Myanmar on Thursday for the diplomatic challenge of a lifetime — persuading the ruling generals to let in a torrent of foreign assistance for cyclone victims."
"What can he do? He can't do anything," said Khyaw Htun Htun, a businessman handing out beef curry and rice to storm victims at the Shwe Daw monastery near Yangon, one of the many private citizens who have mobilized to help the needy." (fair usage quote)

Cebu Philippines: LetLet & JunJun en route to Bantayan Island at 3:20pm
FUJIFILM FinePix S3Pro Digital: 1/125s f/5.6 at 102.0mm iso100
Kev just sent me a very nice image of LetLet & her brother JunJun shot on the Ferry Boat from Hagnaya to Santa Fe Bantayan island from last Sunday's trip when they arrived.
It was LetLet's 2nd boat trip and her 3rd. ride on the Ferry, and JunJun's first time.
Kevin paid all the expenses of getting the kids here again for their second trip, and although the kids did have a good time, the Typhoon that was whipping up the wind/rain and seas prevented us from taking them down to the beach for any swimming, but they had a good time just running around the property here and playing with the local kids who live here.
There's another Tropical Storm coming here, so we're going to get shut down again - AP is reporting TS COSME has arrived and its winds are already stirring up the biggest waves I've seen on the Island in the past three years.
At the beach yesterday we had 50mph winds and I saw some beaches totally re-shaped by the sand re-distribution, and some looked almost gone.

May 13, 2008 - Bantayan Island, Philippines: LetLet & the kids singing Videoke at 8:58pm
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/160s f/3.5 at 54.0mm iso100
Kevin Weir & I were really disappointed that the wild weather here (the wind & rain backlash from the Super Typhoon) prevented the kids from swimming at the beaches, as it's been raining on all 3 of the days they've been here.
So we improvised, and took the kids for some videoke singing we know they really like, and they had a blast - especially LetLet (bottom image right with sister MayAnne on the left) who's got a froggy, cartoon-character-like voice.....she's really into singing.
They just left today; they managed to get on one the boats back to Hagnaya that were actually running, as yesterday's boats were all canceled.
I miss them here - again it's too quiet.

We're still feeling this, even though RAMMASUN has moved onto pounding Japan - the tail of this Super Typhoon is still stirring up the Philippine & South China Seas, but I haven't yet seen the news reports on any casualties here.
Boats were canceled yesterday; the only one running was the big RORO II, and the Aznar FastCraft (a smaller ship) hasn't been running at all for a while now.
Kevin Weir and the kids are also back on the Island - LetLet & MayAnne are back here again with younger brother JunJun, and it's his first time visiting us here - all thanks to Kevin.

Now it's officially a Super Typhoon with top winds at 185kph
It's turning off heading west, and heading north to Japan, and we got hammered yesterday with a ton of rain & wind; the seas here are normally quite calm, but I went down to the beaches yesterday & saw two meter swells pounding the coastline along with the homes and businesses there.

Typhoon2000.com and all the news services are now reporting the active Cyclone Tropical Storm Rammasun is gaining strength and heading for Cebu/The Visayas.
"The storm is expected to gain in strength and turn into a typhoon tomorrow with sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour." Bloomberg
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aZbAWeT.NUzA
Kevin Weir called me yesterday from Cebu and has postponed his trip here with the kids; he reported the wind & rain in Cebu City was already there, and it's been raining here on & off as well as through the night.
I was planning on photographing the event here the Cebu Governor is attending this weekend; I'm not sure if the event will go or get re-scheduled, but unless the Governor travels here via helicopter before the storm hits as she sometimes does, there doesn't seem to be many other options open.

Kevin Weir Philippines 2008 Montage:
FUJIFILM FinePix S3Pro, with Nikon & Sigma lens
Kev's coming back to the Island today and should arrive by the afternoon with LetLet, older brother JunJun and one of the other siblings who've never been here before; I'm not sure who though, but I know LetLet's excited to be able to come back and I'm sure the others will really enjoy this place for a few days, seeing as they've never been outside Cebu before, and have never been in a taxi or on a Ferry Boat.
The food poisoning from last Sunday is slowly going away, and I'm just getting back to editing images - I'm lucky it wasn't as severe as last year, and I ate solid food for the first time yesterday (mango) and an egg sandwich earlier today; no worries so far.
I ended up going 3 days without any solid food; just lots of water and some juices, and I didn't get to my doctor's - I thought I could get through it without a prescription and I did.
Now in town since the price increases on rice are still going up, we've got lines outside the rice vendors in town, with locals buying coupons to get NFA rice at P18.50 per kilo (3kg. per person limit) as the high grade rice has now hit just under P40 per kilo.
There's some screaming & yelling in the cues once tickets & rice are physically handed out, and who knows what to expect if prices continue to rise - anyone with experience in crowd management knows the effect that mob-mentality can have on a already angry crowd.
It'll be good to have Kevin back for a bit - he's a good photographer and I put together a nice montage some of his most recent images from Philippines in 2008.

Typhoon200.com is reporting that conditions are favorable for the formation of a significant Tropical Cyclone is possible here in the Philippines within the next week - below is their quote.
"A formation of a significant Tropical Cyclone over the Philippine Sea or
South China Sea is possible between May 8 to 12. Majority of the global
models are showing the existence of this tropical system affecting the
eastern or western sections of the Philippines. Confidence: HIGH."
Thanks for reading today, we all have enough provisions here to see us through, should the Island & the mainland Provinces of The Visayas and Luzon get shut down when this hits.
I feel gutted and am going back to bed.

I'm down for the count for the next few days - ate a burger on Sunday and within 30 minutes began getting intense cramping, and everything that goes with it.
Bantayan Island, Philippines: February 1, 2007 - from my last bout w/food poisoning, in my Doctor's Office.
No fever & cold sweats this time though, and I'm taking that as a good sign.
I'm waiting until later today to see if I feel strong enough to go into Bantayan Town to see my doctor for an anti-spasmatic (sp)
9:52pm update: didn't go to the Doctor, couldn't make the 20 minute ride to Bantayan Town - I'll send someone tomorrow up there to see if he'll give them a prescription for me and fill it right on the spot.
Drinking fluids all day with no problems, no vomiting.
Henrik from Sweden told me yesterday typhoon2000.com is reporting some sort of Typhoon heading this way by May 9 or 10 and if that happens, it'll be the first one of this year here in the Visayas.

I photographed Arvin in a post below, and Kevin Weir's been texting me from Cebu that he's been getting Arvin a meal every time he sees him - Arvin usually runs around and sleeps on the sidewalk by a local Macdonald's restaurant, and is begging for food most of the time.
Kev reads the blog every day and maybe he can find out why Arvin was abandoned or ran away etc. and why no one seems to be looking after him.
Good Saturday Morning,
