No, it is not I [...]

SmartBro and its Not-so-smart Service
SmartBro and its Not-so-smart Service

“We’ve celebrated too prematurely.  Elmot went home to find his internet connection gone.  The adaptor was busted.  SmartBro technicians promised to replace it tomorrow.  Incidentally, it took two weeks before SmartBro finally installed this infernal internet connection.
Could it be these were not really SmartBro guys Elmot is dealing with?  Maybe they’re people sent by Ate Glo?  Or is it Manny [...]

Political Observations, MSG and Rotten Underwear

A few days away unplugged from the rest of the online world is already a long blogging vacation for me, highlighted by a long weekend giving me more time than usual to procrastinate and end up becoming a lazy dog on the couch feeding on MSG-coated chips and lots of sugary carbonated drinks enough to burn a hole on my [...]

Another Brouhaha After the Pacquiao Fight
Another Brouhaha After the Pacquiao Fight

Miguel Cotto has been floored twice and beaten up like a tenderized meat only to show on the last rounds of the fight what cycling skills can give to a boxer inside the ring especially when pursued ruthlessly by no less than Manny Pacquiao like a hungry lion running after a sumptuous meal.  The streets of the Philippines were clear; [...]

Having Faith with Fate
Having Faith with Fate

Is there such a thing as destiny or fate? Or is it just a product of human construct to account for the lame excuse of letting someone go only to realize that you will never once again have that rare opportunity to be truly happy with him/her?
Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart – the dark apology [...]

Brad Pitt Writing on the Inspirational Book Project
Brad Pitt Writing on the Inspirational Book Project

Felt like Brad Pitt on the film Troy.
(By the way, I once asked my students of who is the main character on the film Troy and they unanimously said “Troy!”.  Forgive me guys, cannot just get this out of my head till I share it).
Since my elementary day up to high school, writing was not my cup to tea, though [...]

Laugh Till You Drop: The Unlikely Clown at Your Sidebar
Laugh Till You Drop:  The Unlikely Clown at Your Sidebar

Before this month comes to close, I would like to at least give homage to our celebration of our Buwan ng Wika or Month of our National Language.
