It’s no laughing matter to realize that the so-called mainstream media most Filipinos are exposed to these days can really dumb down a generation. I am deeply concerned about a story I heard about filmmakers speaking to some kids in Malaybalay, Bukidnon who were asked what they aspired to become. Their daunting [...]

(A somewhat irrelevant reminder:) I hope these Dems will do something about Proposition 8, hmph!

Imagine that just a few months ago, you and your sweetheart were finally married after so many years of restriction to do so. And then suddenly you hear that the state no longer recognizes you’re married; that it is void. As newlyweds, it’s simply outrageous. But for us homosexuals, it’s a reminder of the loathsome [...]

Just so we’re clear, kids, I am not a US registered voter nor am I a citizen yet. My mom’s Republican husband is voting for McCain (despite initially rooting for the more formidable Ron Paul), naturally with the intention of keeping Obama from winning the presidency. If you are a registered American voter, I [...]

I was able to do a phone trial for WOMWorld for the new Nokia E71. I wrote an extensive review on my other blog which I hope you guys should check out. Here’s an excerpt:
Their E71 model inspires enthusiasm among Nokia consumers especially among the growing number of people who have jumped in [...]

The movie The Wackness starring Josh Peck and Ben Kingsley was so nostalgic. It might be a classic Sundance bleeding heart movie, but you could easily forgive the theme when you listen to the music featured on the film. It was the music of 1994 - such a great year for music, championing in that [...]

I know this is a couple of days late, but I believe I have never mentioned to anyone on this blog that I’d love to go to Istanbul someday. My curiosity was piqued when Kaye gave me a promotional music CD for a hotel in Istanbul. It’s a full album featuring different Turkish artists, [...]

The Carpenters is by far the most articulate pop band of their time when it comes to love melancholy. People who grow up to their songs will not wonder why the story of these two siblings is as tragic as, say, their song Aurora.
Yesterday, I felt rain on my head. Walking through a crowded place, everyone [...]

Andrew told me that I could write anything I want on this blog, ANYTHING I was passionate about to write. If you know me personally, it’s hard to tell what field I belong to. That is because I’ve been all over the place and am practically interested in EVERYTHING.
A few months ago, I took the [...]

Tomorrow is supposed to be an historic day for the Blogger community of the Philippines, that’s because a Wordcamp is taking place in Manila for the first time. It’s too bad I’m booked to fly to Manila on the 18th instead which concludes how impractical it is for me to decide to fly in earlier [...]

My friend Jun Macarambon, who co-wrote “A step for my dream” had their film officially selected in this year’s Cinemalaya, inevitably the most prestigious film festival in the Philippines. I haven’t seen the film myself, but the fact that it made it to the festival should keep everyone’s heads up. [...]

I’m sure a lot of you are aware of Apple’s unabashed bashing of PC (symbolised by a Bill Gates look-alike) in their Mac commercials. Surprisingly, it appears to me that the funniest video I’ve seen that pokes fun of BG is one made by the people from the Microsoft camp! You have got to watch [...]
