Haven't been blogging nor bloghopping lately. Somehow I just don't feel like it. Have had a lot of things to do and and lot on my mind lately, so I haven't had that much time for anything else, it seems. I guess its just one of them days.Ironically, there are a lot of things that I would like to blog about, and in fact I have several unfinished posts still in the draft stage. Somehow, I never got...

The RavenEdgar Allan PoeOnce upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -Only this, and nothing more.'Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,And...

Sus ginoo! Kamahal pala ng mga librong pang-abogasya ngayon...I can't believe how much law books cost nowadays. They now seem to cost up to four times as much when I was still in school. You'd think that slim volumes would be cheaper, but even they routinely cost up to P500.00 or even more. And the thick volumes can cost up to P1,500.00. Hay naku. I wonder how "professional students" can afford the...

If you listen closely to the song Sugod by local alternative band Sandwich, you'll notice that the bass line is similar to that of the punk classic Whip It by Devo. The vocalization in the refrain is also reminiscent of the Pinoy rock classic Teacher's Enemy No. 1 by the Juan dela Cruz Band.You'll also notice that in the song Walang Kadala Dala, the rhythm guitar riff during the interlude sounds like...

Earlier this morning, in a scene perhaps haunted by memories of last year's botched impeachment attempt, oppositions solons filed a new impeachment complaint consisting of 150 pages and signed by at least 200 complainants against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, accusing her of willful and culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and betrayal of public trust.The charges cover...

A number of colleagues of mine are scheduled to take the written examinations for Career Executive Officer Eligibility (CEOE) later this morning.In case you didn't know, the CEOE is a requirement for all third level officers in government service, and serves as a replacement of sorts for the older CESO and CSEE qualifications previously required. It consists of four stages, with the written examination...

Four weeks, four days, and fifteen hours after I first registered a complaint with PLDT myDSL regarding my excrutiatingly slow internet connection, I'm finally getting the bandwidth I'm paying for. It took them so long to fix it that it all feels so surreal...like emerging from the fogginess after waking up from a bad dream.It seems so anticlimactic, especially after numerous phone calls to their...

The following is an advertisement for those looking for real estate investment opportunities north of Metro Manila. Located near SM Fairview, and fueled by rapid growth, land values in Colinas Verdes have risen more than 14% during the past year alone. Check this out if you want a piece of the action. I can refer you to a contact of mine who's as cute and cuddly as a Pokémon. If that isn't inducement...

I started being an AMD fan since about seven years ago. Until that time all of the computers that I have owned or built (except for a rather ancient Apple II Plus) were Intel based. Then again, during those times almost all PCs were Intel-based. I remember owning an XT (8088) clone, an AT (286) clone, a DX4 (486) based computer, followed by a PC with a Pentium and later on with a Pentium MMX.It was...

I just spent the last 45 minutes or so working out, and I'm writing this post while cooling down. In a while I'll be taking a nice, refreshing shower, after which I'll probably be spending an hour so hitting my books, then off to bed.Before I went on leave, I told myself that I'll be making the most of this time and get into shape, in addition to studying. So far I seem to keeping that promise to...

I've had this idea stuck in my head for some time now.If you're a regular visitor to this blog, by now you would have figured out that computer gaming is one of my main hobbies. I've been gaming on computers since I was still using an old Apple II Plus, and while I have diversified a bit by gaming on various consoles as well, I still consider myself, first and foremost, a PC gamer.All of the PCs I've...

I know as much as anyone that smoking is bad for your health, but lately I've had to resort to it (well, along with coffee, tea and cola) as a means of maintaining my concentration and keeping my mind alert as I read what seems to be pages and pages of text.While it does help in this regard, it doesn't really change the fact the excessive smoking can be hazardous to your health. Is there a way to...

Happy International Weblogger's Day!Since the very first InWeDay was celebrated on June 14, 2004, blogging has continually grown into a social, political, quasi-journalistic, and literary force to reckon with in today's modern society. This trend still continues, and shows no sign of abating anytime soon.Technorati, the largest and most popular blog tracking service on the internet, tracks approximately...

Today, the Philippines celebrates its 108th Independence Day. 108 years have passed since that fateful day when General Emilio Aguinaldo waved the Philippine flag from the balcony of his residence in Kawit, Cavite. 108 years. And what do we have to show for it?An exchange rate of P53.034 to a US dollar;A population of 85.2 million Filipinos;A poverty incidence of 24.4% (as of 2003);2,840,000 people...

On September 7, 1994, a 38 year-old housepainter by the name of Leo Echegaray was convicted of the crime of rape and sentenced to suffer the ultimate penalty, death. He was the first Filipino in 23 years to be meted out that sentence after its reinstatement through Republic Act No. 7659 on December 13, 1993. Almost five years later, on February 9, 1999, the sentence was finally carried out. A series...

After the preceding post, for the sake of balance, here's another forwarded email this time attacking the book and the movie The Da Vinci Code. Author is also unknown. It's a bit ironic that you read all these forwarded emails supposedly defending or attacking a belief, and yet they're all anonymous.The Da Vinci Code Lie ExposedThe movie "The Da Vinci Code" staring Tom Hanks, directed by Ron Howard...

Received the following through email. It makes some pretty bold declarations about the Church, as well as history as we know it. Author is unknown.I'm unable to validate the claims, since I'm hardly a biblical scholar nor a historian. It is quite interesting though, and perhaps you'd like to read it yourself.The fact that I'm posting this doesn't mean that I necessarily believe it though. It does...

Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar.After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland."The other guy responds proudly, "Yes, that I am!"The first guy says, "So am I! And where abouts from Ireland might you be?"The other guy answers, "I'm from Dublin, I am."The first guy responds, "Sure and begora, and so am I!...

Can you say Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia? I can't. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is defined as a morbid fear of the number 666. So how is that relevant? Well, today, the date is June 6, 2006.

He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he...

I needed a break. So yesterday, on a whim, my son and I sought out the La Mesa Eco Park which I was told was located close by, in Fairview in Quezon City. Little did I know that it was only about a ten minute drive from our house.The way to the park is a bit unassuming, since you have to enter East Fairview, which is actually a private residential subdivision. Though we haven't been to the place before,...

I think I'm getting too highly strung for my own good. Probably the steady diet of cola, coffee, tea and cigarettes I've been on for the past several weeks. I guess all the caffeine and nicotine are finally taking their toll.But then again, how else can I keep my mind alert enough to absorb the pages and pages of text that I have to still have to read for the next few months? Well, caffeine and nicotine...
