Absolutely Partyphilia!

I DON'T WANT TO MINCE WORDS. THIS SITE WAS NOT ONLY CREATED TO SHOWCASE THE OTHER FACE OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT LIVES HERE. I WOULD NOT BE MAKING APOLOGIES, BECAUSE THIS SITE IS UNABASHEDLY PRO-FILIPINO. THE PHILIPPINES AND OUR PEOPLE CONSTANTLY GET BAD MEDIA MILEAGE EVERYWHERE WHICH I THINK ISNT RIGHT. THIS IS MY SMALL CONTRIBUTION: TO LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT THEY HAD BEEN MISSING ALL ALONG. THE BEST AND WORLD-CLASS BEACHES, THE ROCKIN' NIGHTLIFE, THE ONE OF A KIND HISTORY AND CULTURE THAT MELDS IBERIAN FLAIR, AMERICANIZED WAY OF LIVING, AND A DISTINCTLY ASIA-PACIFIC SENSIBILITY NOWHERE TO BE FOUND , THE RICHEST MARINE BIODIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT IN THE WORLD, THE COLORFUL FIESTAS, AND MUCH MORE, UNLIKE SOME OTHER COUNTRIES, THE PHILIPPINES IS NO TOURISM FASTFOOD. NOW LISTEN UP, IN THE COMING DAYS I WILL BE RESTRICTING ACCESS TO MY WEBSITE CONTENT FOR MY CONTACTS AND I WILL BE CLEANING UP MY CONTACTS LIST. PLEASE HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR SITE (AND YES HAVE AN AVATAR AT LEAST). THERE ARE SOME PHOTO ALBUMS THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY POSTED AND NOW UP AND RUNNING.MOST OF THE PLAYLISTS WILL NOW BE SEVERELY RESTRICTED EVEN FOR CONTACTS. THIS SITE DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY PORNOGRAPHY OF ANY KIND, THE REASON I RESTRICTED ACCESS TO MY SITE IS THAT I NEED TO MANAGE WHO CAN SEE AND NOT SEE MY FILES. PLEASE BE A DEAR AND LEAVE COMMENTS ON MY POSTS AS WELL. FOR NOW, MY BLOGS AND REVIEWS WILL BE FOR PUBLIC BUT WILL BE SUBSEQUENTLY RESTRICTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I AM SORRY FOR BEING A BITCH, BUT PEOPLE COME AND GO ON THESE PAGES WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE POSTS AND THE OWNER. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
