Smith Returned to US Custody

Well, well, It’s not a good Blog-Homecoming today. I just saw on Inq7.net that Smith has been returned to US custody. At last writing, that was the vague question as to what would happen to Smith, who was found guilty of rape of “Nicole”. Smith’s lawyers and apparently the US embassy are […]

Quite a whirlwind of a day for the former dictator of Iraq. The news started off that there were rumors that Saddam would be executed as early as this weekend, but breaking news from all news sources as well as senior Iraqi officials all say that the execution will be at around 11am Philippine […]

My Apologies

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who sent me an email inquiring on why an article hasn’t been written in a while and asking if I was alright. Well, I am OK, I’ve just been busy on a little personal trip for the last two weeks. I’d like to thank Jeremy […]

OK, maybe I’m exaggerating. But, in a nice twist to things, this yearly honor has been bestowed upon… Well.. Everyone who has contributed to the information contained within the infinite realm of The Internet.

Filipino Entrepreneurs look to Ebay

You probably heard the good news that Paypal has opened its gate to The Philippines. It’s still a far cry from a full pledged Paypal service that other countries such as The United States receives, but I think the move is good nonetheless. I’ve been an avid eBayer now for quite a long […]

Heart Attack Procedure

Received in my inbox earlier today, and I thought I would post this to the benefit of our readers. My father died from a stroke and I know of numerous individuals who have died from a heart attack. Of the many issues facing our nation, I think proper medical care should be at […]

Relax Miriam. Breathe… Shut Up!

Everyone has probably felt the harsh winds of Typhoon Miriam. Just this Monday she made a speech, that for the life of me, I can’t understand why a distinguished senator would make. But then again, one could argue if she’s distinguished at all.
ā€œI’m not angry, Mr. President, I am not angry,ā€ she began, […]

Let’s Travel - Biyahe Tayo

I love The Philippines. When I say that, you probably don’t really know how much I mean it. I love the people, the culture, the land, the beauty of the sea, the beauty of the churches, the grandness of The Pearl of The Orient..
If you aren’t Filipino and you’re reading this, then I […]

Politics Explained

Received in my Inbox. A funny way to describe Government Structure, Politics, and Politics.
FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. […]

Justice For Nicole was incomplete

Guilty!
[youtube]LiEblWfNmH8[/youtube]
That was the one word that Filipinos were waiting for in the long awaited verdict of the Subic Rape Case. However, it would come short in my opinion, because out of the 4 individuals, three walked because of lack of evidence. Smith took the whole brunt of the case and was sentenced to […]

Reming was the End of Days

Super Typhoon Reming. This is as strong as it gets. You Sometimes wonder if this is possible, but sadly in a nation where a large portion of the population has housing that can barely withstand a mild storm, a Super Typhoon such as Reming seems like the END OF DAYS.
And in fact, for […]

The Charter Change Drug

Despite mounting criticism and opposition, The Administration and its allies have been pushing Charter Change like it was the new wonder drug of the third world. Saying that it will cure all our ailments. Poverty, education, social welfare, etc.
These things will be better tackled if we change to a new type of government.
There […]

Rhinoplasty Explained

In an earlier article, I wrote about Filipinos having flat noses, and how rhinoplasty was an excellent procedure for your nose. It’s often called a “nose job”. I think that rhinoplasty is just one of the more popular procedures that Filipinos have done to themselves, the other would probably be breast enlargements.
As I’ve […]

Perseverance and Persistance of The Filipino People

As I have written in a previous article, I have often said that one of the greatest characteristics of The Filipino people in general is that of the quality of persistence and perseverance. In this time of tragedy, I cannot help but believe that this is yet another situation where we will persevere.
“I’m inspired […]
