Good day folks! Beautiful day today even though its quite hot. Hope you had a good weekend and hope you’ll have a good week ahead. Spent the weekend mostly at home and spending quality time with my family. On a sad note, I’d like to extend my sincerest and heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the recent hostage crisis in the Philippines. I know it would be easy to blame and point fingers on who’s fault it was but that’s not gonna help or change anything. I just hope that the new President and the Philippine government would learn something from this and actually DO something about it as to avoid this from happening again. Also, I hope that other countries, especially China and Hong Kong would consider their travel bans to the Philippines. This is a lone incident, committed by a lone individual not an organized crime syndicate, rebels or terrorists. This was a rare incident that unfortunately happened to a group of tourists visiting the Philippines.

Okay, enough with that now and back to regular business. I hope you guys enjoy this week’s edition of the Weekend Roundup.
