No, it’s not the “OFW assistance” commercial that played regularly months before You guessed it right, dear. Manuel “Manny” Villar. No, it’s not the “Itik” commercial that plays [...]
Philippine Presidential Elections 2010 Amidst Economic Crisis — The Boon and the Bane
Photo by London Permaculture Amidst this economic crisis we are faced with, news articles still have room for politics and 2010 elections-related articles. That’s not surprising — considering how grossly-invested we are in our politics. I’ve read a few hundred news feeds today (most of those I merely “scanned” and skimmed-through) as I don’t exactly [...]
Let Me Tell You A Story (Pass The Hat, Please…)
Unlike many girls out there, I never really dreamed of becoming a beauty queen or a movie star. Maybe because I hardly had the makings of either or both.

"Don't You Know Me?": The Question To Fear Or The Question To Loathe?
Photo by 19melissa68 As if the CARP issue and the alleged continued corruption are not enough to contend with, DAR is now faced with another issue of headline material — this time, a story that if only for the news sources that covered it and the blogged story of the family member who was there [...]
The Revolution Within
This guy Joma just won’t give it a rest. Miles away from where we are, he is still “trying” to cause trouble here.

Of Joc-Joc Bolante, Tango and Choices
It was a long wait. Was it two years? And now Joc-Joc Bolante, the alleged “mastermind” of that “fertilizer scam” issue is finally here. And just like our “very optimistic” expectation before that Romulo Neri will spill the beans on the NBN-ZTE broadband scandal, I must say that we are none the wiser to assume [...]
Lie To Me
* Note: I am cross-posting this “verse” from my “private” blog which most people might find very disturbing, rebellious and explicit. I call it the “blog of and about the darker side of me“. Obviously, as much as I’d like to, I can’t even post the blog’s URL and I’ve blocked it from search engines [...]
10 Reasons Why I'm Not Voting Noli de Castro for Philippine President in 2010, and Why I Think You Shouldn't Either
Photo by briPod >Seventeen months and counting. That’s how long before the much-awaited Philippine Presidential Elections of May 2010 happens — assuming that our dear President Gloria doesn’t succeed in perpetuating herself in power beyond 2010 — and assuming that the prayers of the faithful would be given more weight by God, instead of the [...]
