This is an entertaining movie, especially if you’re part of the “Matrix generation.” The Wachowski Brothers prove that there is life after the Matrix trilogy, especially after “Matrix Revolutions,” which I consider one of the most disappointing films of the decade. V for Vendetta will entertain you, and it makes me smile the way I […]
A day before the 20th anniversary of the Edsa Revolution, the Philippines appears headed for another democratic crisis. Unfortunately this time, the need for the declared “State of Emergency” is highly debatable, just as the need for mass rallies. Everyone is fighting for something, yet our actions can only lead us to harder times. Damned […]
Why do we Filipinos choose to help only when it seems a bit too late? Like in the ultra stampede, why do we show concern only when lives are lost, mostly when our help can no longer turn back tragedy? Couldn’t we have made their lives better when they were still alive to benefit from […]
By now, you probably have gone through hours of ABS–CBN coverage of the unfortunate ULTRA stampede caused by thousands of Filipinos trying to join the anniversary of the gameshow “Wowowee,” also from the same station. The chance of winning was too enticing, with most of the crowd coming from the less privileged parts of Metro […]
Some officemates were kind enough to update us on the situation in Makati, sharing this photo. I don’t know the source, but thanks. God save the Philippines.
These are my two cents on President GMA’s public apology regarding the wiretapped conversations, better discussed by the Sassy Lawyer. If she didn’t cheat, she should’ve been her usual mataray self. Why apologize if you did nothing wrong? Why look so damn sad and remorseful if all you did was protect your votes? Our country […]
GMA Watch is a new experiment I’m running, a weblog/aggregator on news about President Gloria Macapagal–Arroyo and her administration. Basically just a breaking–news blog, sprinkled with a few commentaries. This is not an anti nor pro–GMA project, but rather an honest–to–goodness take on what’s on the news. My take right now? The controversies are not […]
For Anonymous sonovabitch: “If you drop by my site and insult my heritage, you should at least have balls enough to leave an indication of who you are so I can generalize from how stupid your way of thinking how idiotic your particular race/gender/IQ group/scientific dictgenus is.” Comment spam really sucks, but stupid commenters trolls […]
Have you ever been to Wendy’s lately? The branch at SM Megamall just reopened. You’ve got to try the Bacon Mushroom Melt — it’s now the size of a Burger McDo, just tastes a little better. And the cheese ain’t melting. Good thing they still serve good fries.
After the initial stream of entries inspired by an entry from The Sassy Lawyer, a response from PDI‘s Joey Alarilla surfaces on his weblog — with a very personal tone. It’s come to my attention that the launch of INQ7.net’s Talking Points blog has elicited a negative reaction among certain members of the Philippine blogging […]
