A View of Verde Island from afar

A view of Verde Island while aboard Fastcat M1. This is your "better ro-ro" option in terms of cost, speed, services and facilities. +1 for providing elevator for differently-abled persons.

Sennheiser HD598

This is my Sennheiser HD598 with custom replacement audio cable. The original cable was too long and has 6.3mm plug. I mainly use as my daily driver, so mobility is important. My source is my HTC One (M7) with FiiO E18 amplifier with 3.5mm socket.

A Welcome Update on Calapan Port

It really is a very much welcome upgrade on Passenger Terminal at the Port of Calapan City. Albeit the passenger terminal is not as large as the one in Batangas City, it is very comfortable, has a working X-Ray machine, a working free public wifi, surveillance cameras, good PA system classy comfort rooms, and LCD Televisions. All for a small terminal fee of Php20.00. NPMS&I really did a good job.

This is very far better, compared to the state of the Batangas City passenger terminals. You have to pay Php 30 pesos, for a very humid, most-of-the-time-hot passenger area, not well-maintained comfort rooms, mumbled sound of PA system, broken x-ray machine, and other things that makes my weekly travel very uncomfortable. Yes, they got some LCD TV, but what else?

I wonder where the funds go...
