Yo Federico!
Menacing pic of you and your crew! Before you think about getting inked again, you might want to check out these guys and have a traditional Filipino design done that tells your story.

That is ice on the mountain behind me. Yes it is Georgia taken on 12/20/2004
Will take another shot when it gets warmer, was 6 degrees when picture was taken.
The two bowie knives, made by Al Pendray, are wootz. One is from a 200-300 year old ingot, from Oriental Arms, while the other Bowie is made from Al Pendray's own wootz, both has his gold horseshoe around a "P" logo with the old woots also has a "B-1" on the blade, both have Ivory hilts.

Hehehe...awesome site. I take it you can guess what the full sleeve I have planned will be. Unfortunately no more room on the chest. Well one day...I just need a proper time to do it. A good tattoo should be good anting-anting as well, but that takes timing for the proper event.

Yo Spunger!
With an alibata tattoo saying "KUSOG ILLONGO" shouldn't you be holding a tenegre and a binangon instead?

Mare Rosu...NICE BOWIES!!!

Derek...you look like you just stepped off the set of LOTR...pretty cool!

Thumbs up

MARE ROSU: Those are pretty well sized bowies and considering you ain`t a lil` dude yourself at all, those must be some hefty cleavers,Gene !
P.S. With that outfit on, you truely live up to your namesake reputation : Mare Rosu ; for those who dont know, thats Romanian for ,,The Big Red,, , so just be careful handlin` them badazz blaidz and dont get bloody red yo`self now ...
They`re superbe, by the way, state of the art, ... I bet Teddy Roosevelt himself woulve mind having them while huntin` Africa. still, the way I see with that weather you have there , youll be shootin` penguins soon in Georgia.

DEREK: Yo, Derek, is that Lord of the Abysinnians ?


ME : What do you say 'bout my giant tuna this last weekend in Ensenada, Baja Norte , MEXICO ? you say: OLEEEE !!!

Default To Moro or not to Moro ?

Zamboanga , I am sure that gives a few the chills, not all know that MILF word is not what we think here in California it is ... I have a question, at one point I was speaking to a American-Filipino (born in PI) and when I said Moro he wasnt very happy with the word I used to describe the ,,Muslim people living in the south parts of the Philippines, mainly Mindanao,, he admonestated me saying that calling them ,,Moro ,, is like saying ,,savages,,. Henever give into my theory that Moro comes from spanish ,,Moorish,, (a word to describe anyone of Islamic faith) but on the same time I see description of institution where I see the word Moro like Bangsamoro, MILF and so on ... Enlighten me, please ?
