Freedom of Ideas, not Information
We are lucky to live in an information era where everything we wanted to learn is literally at our fingertips. Just go to Google on your laptop or smartphone, and the world’s knowledge is in our reach.
And with that, all around the world, people ask for additional rights, one of them is freedom of information. With that, I’m not just referring to freedom to access government...

Stressed out
The more-than-disappointing performance I had with my Natsci1 exams makes me feel the horror once again - the fear of failing another subject. You see, Natsci1 is just a review of your Physics and Chemistry, it’s just that it feels really complicated to me now. Aside from it is held in a large class at the most ungodly time of the morning, I can’t understand a thing.
I already made...

The Runway is Yours
We often associate fashion with people like those in the pictures - models, the runway, high-end brands that the affluent can afford. We often drool as we watch the models, with their skinny build, as they model the latest designs that will spur imitation in a factory in China as soon as they are released.
Now, how about these people?
If we are going to use the standards of high fashion to...

Sabi sa article ng Viva about Bob Ong,
Bumenta ng more than 700,000 copies ang kanyang librong ABNKKBSNPLAko?! At sa kasalukuyan, top 1 sa best-selling lists ang pinakabago niyang nobela na “Kung Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin.” Ang nasabing libro ay isang parody ng Filipino movie industry.
Sabihin na natin na nakakakuha si Bob Ong ng P50 per book as royalty. So that’s 700,000 x 50...

Hindi pa talaga ako nakapagdecide kung sinong iboboto sa USC elections sa Tuesday, pero sa tingin ko wala akong mahanap na magandang candidate.
2 years na ako sa university, and so far, as what I have observed sa student politics, parang politics lang din sa labas. Bawat party sinasabi nila, naglilingkod daw sila para sa bayan; todo-hilera pa talaga ng mga nasalihang rally, GWA nila o kaya mga...

Gretchen Fullido
If you aren’t familiar with the woman in the picture, she is Gretchen Fullido, the showbiz reporter on TV Patrol. On Twitter, she is constantly been a source of laughs for…do I even have to elaborate? KrisaquinoSTD’s latest tweet says it all.
Ask yourself, what impression has been formed in your mind while watching her on-air? She’s liberated, much worse a whore? And...

Sorry, but I find it disrespectful (and disgusting) tagging photos of the dead in their coffins!
Even if the purpose is just to commemorate the deceased, it is not appropriate tagging people and having it seen by everyone in their news feed!

Sweet Child of Mine
I have a neighbor with a daughter who got into a situation we all see in teleseryes. The teen had a boyfriend, and without anyone knowing, she left home and lived with the guy, which I heard was way older than her. And we all know what happened next. She got pregnant and forced to stop school altogether.

I know some of my followers here may have experienced that situation with their...

Student Politics: How serious are we?
Now that student council elections are underway in different high schools and universities across the country, I could not resist sharing my thoughts on how student politics has been operating.
I actually been a part of an election when I was in high school, not as a candidate but a “campaign manager”, working the details of our party’s campaign. The thing is, my choice of...

Did I dream that we danced forever
In a wish that we made together
On a night that I prayed would never end?
Dahil prom season ngayon, di ko tuloy maiwasang alalahanin yung mga nakakatuwang moments sa prom namin nung high school. Yung mga sayaw, mga babaeng hinahatak ka para makasayaw ka, cheezy music, flowers, at mga feelings na di mo masabi.
Nung 4th year lang kami nagkaroon ng prom,...

The Otaku and other 'alternatives'
Lately, I’ve been spending my time on the internet researching about the otaku and its impact on Filipino culture. The new environment I’m being introduced to is completely interesting to study, most of the time evoking memories of childhood.
If you think about it, the concept of the Pinoy otaku doesn’t fit us as a people, considering that we live in a socially-inclined...

To the great beyond
Oftentimes, when death is discussed in popular culture, it mean only one thing: horror. The (im)possibilities of seeing a ghost, floating cadavers or skulls holding axes is such a horrible sight, especially to children.
But lately, I realized that death is something that should be embraced with open arms. In all the funerals I have attended, I never cried. Instead, I look at the remains for a...

Hello
I apologize if I haven’t posted something of note lately. Real-life obligations are taking a toll on me, especially school and family matters.
But I have some posts in store: an editorial or two and some reviews, especially for my “12 Books in 2012” challenge, which I haven’t started yet.
How are you, guys? Hope you’re all doing great!

Life's short
To be honest, I have nothing to update about, since nothing special happened in the tutorial center this week. Except that I have Saturday sessions again, and I was late by an hour for my first one.
I have a 7th grade student that we can call Andrew. He’s quite small for his age, considering that his peers are tall and have bulging muscles already. Whenever’s he’s at the center,...

Are Pinoys business-minded?
Henry Sy, the country’s richest man, would not been in his position right now without his idea of selling a pair of shoes “to every Filipino”. And no, he was not born rich, he started his enterprise from scratch after the war. Now, his conglomerate now spans interests in retail, manufacturing, property, energy, banking, tourism and mining, with at least P15 billion of profit...
