Dear friends, I am currently processing my exit papers from HK. I am returning home to take a new opportunity and to be with my wife and 3-month old angel. Nothing is sweeter… Meanwhile, please excuse my absence. My next Shuttercow post will be published in the Philippines. Joe Narvaez

Bridge to nowhere? I took this photograph of the Macau-Taipa bridge on a hazy day last January 2009. Saan patungo ang tulay na ito? Ito ang kuha ko ng tulay Macau-Taipa noong nakaraang Enero 2009. Matindi ang haze noong araw na iyon!

The annual Hong Kong Chinese New Year Parade was held on the 26th of January 2009 at Tsim Sha Tsui. Sponsored by Cathay Pacific, the spectacle was dubbed as the “World’s Happiest Party.”There were local floats and performers but there were foreign participants as well. I saw representatives fr...

Filipinos around the world are fuming mad over the article, “The War at Home”, by Chip Tsao for HK Magazine. Of course, I am also angry, but not that much. Having lived in Hongkie (I’d always wanted to use that term, thank you Mr. Tsao for giving me the opportunity!) town for about 2 years now...

Around 4 in the early morning of 17 February 2009, I was sent a text message from the Philippines. It was my mother-in-law telling me that my wife’s water bag broke and that they were already going to the hospital. Actually, she sent me the same sms thrice before I picked up my cell phone and jolt...

Finally, I get to write something positive about the Philippine Government. I have been dreaming about this for a very, very, very long time. This blog is not only about complaining you know. Ranting really helps me blow off steam but I don’t want to do it chronically because it can also drain one...

I am currently processing my Hong Kong exit papers. I am returning home to take a new job opportunity and to be with my wife and 3-month old angel. Nothing is sweeter…  So what crisis am I talking about then? Well, if I will be working in the Philippines again, that means my “cash cow” days ...
