Don’t Vote, Who The Hell Cares.. Right?

This is an out of the box move to really get the vote out, using reverse psychology. Don’t vote is an ad where big name celebrities tell you to initially not vote.
I am adamant about this, those who are in The United States, and are eligible to vote. Register today! The deadline […]

September 11, 2008

It’s been seven years since the attacks of 9/11, and without a doubt it has definitely been the cause for the rise of the misplaced Bush Foreign policy. It has weighed on the minds of Americans and many around the world, a turning point in our recent history. I’ll defer a post as […]

Who Decides If An Issue Is Dead

I’m busy all week, working on FV matters (mostly on the back end of things), much work related activities, and much reading up on engineering studies too. Some people forget that I’m engineer, since I never actually write about engineering issues or topics, which trust me, I would probably lose all my readers with […]

Celebrating The Sacrifice of our OFWs

Maybe the answer is not bringing down the OFW, but maybe we as a society should start celebrating the different kinds of heroes in our midst. There’s an argument that OFW are not heroes, because that would entail a sense of heroism for doing something that is meant for them and their families alone. […]

The Fleeting Life, A Diffference We Can Make

I see Pedro in my dreams, and he waves in passing. I am a Filipino who cannot forget, and believes strongly that life must be about making a difference, if indeed we are to live meaningful lives. I do not dare go against the grain of my passion, to steal the life that […]

The Editor Not Chief of Filipino Voices

After much debate, mostly with myself, and a promise that I had to keep, here is a photo of me, Nick, writer of Tingog.com, The Editor not Chief of Filipino Voices. As I said in a previous entry, I’m 27 years old, yet if it’s any consolation, since many have been shocked at just […]

Social Media and Plurk Just Scooped Mainstream Media

While in preparation for an article, I just realized that Philippine mainstream media was just beat to the punch by Plurk as well as Twitter. As early as 10:06 this writer was informed that Eraserhead lead singer Ely Buendia was rushed to the hospital due to “emotional and physical stress”. At first, updates […]

Senator Ted Kennedy A Speech Worthy of A Great Senator

Senator Ted Kennedy, battling brain cancer, gave an emotional speech at The 2008 Democratic National Convention last night. It was a surprise speech, I did not know he was making an appearance, but to me, despite his colorful past, he will be remembered as one of the greatest U.S senators in history. In […]

27 Years Old. What’s The Big Fuss?

Alright, since this is my personal blog, I thought that I would share a tidbit about myself that I eventually had to spill because I was harassed by a few dozen individuals the other day. My age, which is 27 years old.
I never planned on even informing anyone about my age, because honestly, I […]

MTV Airs Negative Political Ad Against Barack Obama

MTV just started accepting political ads. And the first political ad that millions of young people will see is a negative attack on Barack Obama—saying he’s “worse than a flip-flopper” and accusing him of no longer being against the war. It’s outrageous.
The Republicans’ strategy is clear: kill the hope that’s brought millions of new young […]

J Passes Nursing Board Exam

Last June (2008), J, Bebot’s daughter took the nursing board exam in The Philippines, and just a few days ago, I learned that she passed. Bebot would have been proud, as I am proud of her. I know she has a bright future ahead of her. I’m just sad that Bebot is […]

Barack Obama Speech In Berlin Germany

Big crowds met Senator Barack Obama in Germany yesterday, as almost 200,000 gathered to watch the possible future president of the most powerful nation in the world. Was it presumptuous of Barack Obama to make such a trip oversees and make a stump speech overseas? Whatever your opinion, we have to realize that […]
