Dear Ambassador Gaa:

Further to my email to you, aside from my recommendation to lodge a formal protest, kindly encourage officials and employees from the different Philippine consulates general, and the Filipino American community, to sign the petition on line, through this link:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/FilABC/

We need as many signatures as we can gather to show ABC that we have the number, and that "In Unity, There Is Strength," (borrowing from MANILA-U.S. TIMES' slogan).

Here's what I emailed you earlier:

"Dear Ambassador Gaa:

"The Philippines and the Filipino people have been insulted by some racist remarks in the "Desperate Housewives' TV show" when Susan Mayer Delfino, played by actress Teri Hatcher, stated in its September 30, 2007 broadcast: "Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines."

"The insult was directly hurled at some med schools in the Philippines, but ultimately, it impacted on every Filipino all over the world.

"I am bringing this to your kind attention so we can officially lodge a formal protest against the Management of the Desperate Housewives TV program for them to apologize publicly to the Filipino people and to the Philippines, and to refrain from making such insulting remarks henceforth.

"Thank you."

New Update

After a long, long hiatus from blogging my forex activities, I am back again!

Although I stopped posting, I did not stop playing forex. Well, not technically. I have formed a group with some friends, and employ the straight hedging and inverse hedging techniques, and assigned someone from the group to be on top on the daily trading activity. Then, we discuss the results of the trade on a regular basis.

Sometime mid-May, we restarted and reset the portfolio. Pooled our money together and begin our new journey to riches... hahaha! So far, to date, our gain is about 21%, but has a floating loss of about 14%, giving us a running net gain of about 7%. Not spectacular, but definitely better than bank rates!

Also, I have dropped the FreedomRocks subscription, and employ our own version of hedging. So far, the results are encouraging.
