My country is a country that disappoints. I can very well say this to myself now ten years after returning to my homeland in what was supposedly the better world of the West. Ten years ago I was willing to bet my stake on the future and promise of these beautiful islands, only to realize that things have not changed in those ten long years but have in fact deteriorated to a point of hopelessness for Juan de la Cruz. If Rizal, Ninoy and our other heroes were alive today, would they have had second thoughts if the Filipino was worth dying for? Would they have asked ... Continue Reading...

Gadget Review: SE K750i & O2 XDA IIi

I don't know who is to blame more: our officials who flaunt their power (and abuse of it) with impunity, or the people who never to learn their ... Continue Reading...
If these walls could talk
Speaking of motels, I have had a friend tell me that motels don't have as seedy a reputation in America as they do here in the Philippines. Correct me if am wrong but in there, it's really more of a lodging place for weary travellers while in here, it's the undisputed stopover of horny revellers. The motels here must be raking it in, otherwise why are they fully-booked on special "occasions" and why are the people who own them become billionaire-philanthropists, to the point of donating a couple of buildings to a prestigious university in Manila? Another motel owner is ... Continue Reading...
