Haven’t been able to really blog regularly for the past two weeks now. My off-line work has just kept on piling up on top of each other. School work is a constant, but the extras-curricular have been the killer. Don’t fret though, I’m still alive.
So where have I been and what have I [...]

Another nail has been pounded on the coffin for the iconic floppy or diskette drive as PC World says farewell to floppy, meaning the UK-based computer super store will stop selling floppies when their stocks run out. In addition, some computer manufacturers have started to phase out the diskette drive, more popularly known as Drive [...]

Now going back to my friend’s smart-ass idea on Rizal being gay, he did presented some reasons to back it up. He started by making this observation; “Sa lahat ng babaero, siya[Rizal] lang ang hindi nagkaroon ng maraming anak.†“Of all the womanizers, Rizal is the only one who has not produced a number of children.â€
True, Rizal did not have many children save for the one that Josephine delievered too early into this world, only to die later as a tragic consequence of Pepe’s misdemeanors. This is despite the fact that he is well known for having many lovers and flames everywhere he went.
“Palatino? Hindi kaya si Mong Palatino ito?†I asked my self in silence as I squinted more to adjust my eyes in order to get a better look at him. Then there is was, a simple phrase from him confirmed my suspicions, “It’s a good thing that to see that internet, especially blogs has started to become prominent tools for advocacy work.â€
Just the words “blogs†+ “advocacy†galvanized my suspicions. “Siya nga! Si Mong Palatino nga ng Mongster’s Nest!†I exclaimed to myself while I smiled at the fact that finally, I’ve met a fellow blogger of mine in the real and living flesh. Determined not to let this opportunity go to waste, I stood up and walked towards where I saw Mong took his seat after receiving the token gifts - which he truly deserved - of appreciation to formally introduce myself and make a real, offline, person-to-person contact with a fellow blogger whom I truly respect and admire.
6. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Yes, my personal record was 75 hours straight
7. What color looks best on you?
Gray, black, blue and white
8. What’s your favorite alcoholic drink?
Gin + Extra Joss (hekhekhek) Try it, no hangovers and you’d barely get drunk.
9. Do you believe in heaven and hell as real places that we go to after we die?
No. The real question is, ‘Is there really life after death?’ Besides, Jesus has already shown how heaven can be found on Earth, while GMA and the imperialists has turned the Philippines into hell ever since the former said ‘Hello, Garci’ while the latter stole our independence in 1898.
Our booming population has demanded lands be converted to agricultural use however, globalization and the rising trend of land use conversion which has been targeted for industrial, commercial, recreational and residential uses are mostly irrigated agricultural lands. This has threatened the country’s food security and has added more pressure to the ecosytem due to the added pollution and resource consumption by industrial, commercial, recreational and residential demands and activities. The end result is appalling, reduced soil quality, emergence of species resistant to these chemicals, pesticide poisoning, genetic erosion, and decimation of hundreds of indigenous rice varieties with the use of HYVs
I’ve grown tired and unintrested in getting involved with the Ministry. Alam ko namang mangingialam ang mga manang at manong sa simbahan kaya magkakandaletse-letse na naman ang mga buhay at plano namin para sa mga kabataan ng aming parokya, kaya ayaw ko na muna.
I know that the elders would once more meddle in our affairs and screw up our plans so before it happens again I’m bolting out, I’m just simply tired of wrestling with the jurassic generation of church people in our parish, who refuse to wake up and realise that their time has ended and now it’s our turn to run things in the church. It’s the old refusing to give way to the new. Though I enjoyed this kind of struggle in the past, I seem to have lost interest in it for now. God help me. God help us the youth.
Kamusta? Sa wakas ay muli na akong nakabalik sa pagbo-blog matapos ang 6 na araw na ’sick leave’ dahil sa trangkaso. Ngayong medyo magaling na ako at nakakatagal na ng mahigit isang oras sa harap ng computer ng hindi nahihilo ay balik blogging na uli ako.
At para sa magandang pagbabalik-blogging, isang pahabol sa [...]
One of us mused that we should instead support GMA because everything she has been doing is right and correct. Like Arroyo, we should be happy that the Filipino family is being torn apart thanks to the flight of our workers to find employment abroad, leaving behind their families. It’s okay, it’s alright, they do send in billions worth of dollar remittances every year that keeps our economy from taking its last breath. Never mind again, the fact that the Filipino family is being destroyed and its concept diluted and corrupted by imperialist, globalised economic policies.
However, the most relevant and heart-felt point we shared yesterday was the realisation that in order for anyone to get their desires, needs and wishes granted by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s administration, they have to break free and rebel, even revolt against her. Hasn’t anyone noticed that ever since the Oakwood mutiny up to the threat of a coup, the Armed forces has been constantly showered with gifts, bonuses, budget increases, excuses from Senatorial hearings even the license to kill everyone they consider to be Left of Center.
