everyone's been sick here...

I'm recovering from full blown Bronchitis here on the Island, and I've been forced offline for a while now because of that, but the good news is that I'm on Antibiotics, Ventolin & Prednisone and am looking forward to getting my strength back to normal after being all but bed ridden.

My 1 yr & 5mos. adopted baby's also been sick with a lung infection that caused her many breathing problems, coughing, high fever etc. - and it was when she got sick that I also came down with the upper respiratory issues and fever, ending up with severe bronchitis.

I've actually been trying for the past week to physically get online, and there's been very little internet available here; most of the time the signal's dead for most of the days, with intermittent access at a few different times of the day, but it's been a crap shoot.

A local poor girl on the beach selling cooked crab - she makes the long trip to Sta.Fe from Bantayan Town each day to earn a little money.

As soon as I'm physically back to normal I'll be able to get back to shooting & editing - above, from one of my last days I was out shooting last month: the little girl above was actually doing good business with travelers and locals who were buying her fresh crab, and I was amazed she was making daily long trips from here home (over 1hr. each way at her own expense) to spend the day selling in the hot sun, making money to help support her Family.

Thanks for reading today,
PJAMES
