To be a delegate of the 21st PAC, you'll need to shell out Php16,500 if you're a professional and Php12,500 if you're a student.  I went to 2 of the previous PACs not as a participant but just to hangout and drink with some friends (free booze) but this will be my ... Full story

I'm watching the live coverage of ABS-CBN on the funeral procession of our beloved former President Cory C.

Amidst the excitement and fuss of the Pacquiao and Hatton fight, a moving yet puzzling tv commercial showed up.  2 days after, it caught my attention when it rocketed to over 50,000 commitments, a sea of blog posts, endless thread of reactions, comments and speculations. I kept my mouth shut.  I waited for seasoned writers ... Full story

I came accross this blog post from an 18 yr old girl named Bambee.  The post was a detailed account of a series of events that unfolded the day after Christmas (26, 2008)  involving a powerful and influential father (secretary) and son (mayor)  duo who are both politicians - government officials - and her 56 year ...

I took this picture last Sunday. As usual, there was a long line at this particular gas station in Makati. But this time the waiting time was longer - quite unusual because nowadays most vehicles pump up just enough gas to last them the week. After what felt like over 20 minutes, this is what we saw:...

This video was posted on youtube.com last December, 2007 and it seems that everybody forgot about it already.  This electric car has potential and is a good start to cleaner and cheaper means for transportation here in the Philippines.  Starting at Php140k this sounds good especially for city driving.  Its not as fast, but who cares!  There's heavy traffic anyway and I think its about ...
