  • Justice in the Philippines

    Is there really no justice in this country? Having faced this myself, now I know the answer. The answer is NO. The world revolves around money. No matter how cruel that fact may be. That is life. That is how things are.

  • Up Dharma Down – Taya Music Video

    This is one of my favorite tracks off Up Dharma Down’s Bipolar album and I just found their awesome MTV at Pelicola.tv.

  • Filipinos are oversensitive carebears

    … and you are definitely one if you got offended after reading this post’s headline. The truth is that this is one of the biggest differences between Filipinos and other nationalities.
