Probably one of the most insulting things about the Philippines I have ever read. Sad thing here is there really are people around the world who think like this. Very entertaining post and really made (i.e. ruined) my day. How the heck do they get through life with NOTHING inside[...]
As a long time Twitter user I always see Tweeps tweeting Follow Friday but I never really understood the real concept behind Follow Friday. I always felt that it was just a bunch of people spamming some those keywords to create a “follow train” and eventually became very popular. I[...]
I was on my way to work today when I almost choked at the name of this cab owned by “Pacquing Transport”. Could this be Manny Pacquiao’s taxi? Maybe he got tired of fighting and decided to retire and be a cab driver. Either way, I wonder what people do[...]
I almost had a heart attack yesterday. I got myself a copy of Dissidia: Final Fantasy U.S. version, but it wouldn’t run on my PSP. My modified PSP was only running 4.01 M33-2. Apparently, Dissidia needs 5.00 firmware or higher to run. Thus, I tasked myself with I upgrading the[...]

Here is an except from the Washington Post article: Donaire, the 26-year-old Filipino star who vacated his IBF[...]
Crime is everywhere. It can happen to anyone at the most unexpected times. As good citizens it is our duty to practice due diligence in order to mitigate criminal activity. To combat crime we must keep ourselves informed of the various modus opeandi (modes of operation) of criminals. I recently[...]
I was just watching this hilarious video of U.S. President Barack Obama recreated in an online game called Aion. I have a slight suspicion this may have been created as a viral ad by the company that distributes Aion in the U.S., but whoever made this really did a good[...]
It is a sad day for many Filipinos. At around 3:18 a.m. on Saturday August 1, 2009, former president Corazon “Cory” Aquino, 76 years old, passed away after being diagnosed with advanced colon cancer early 2008. She was confined in Makati Medical Center for more than a month, and very[...]
