Finally! NBA Playoffs 2009
Yes! After 82 games for each of the 30 team of the regular season, we're down to just the top 8 for each conference. I always favored the playoffs over the regular season due to the heightened grit and intensity when glory is at stake. Last season, I was rooting for...
The much-awaited Los Chupacabras songs (for free)
I really don't know what's with Los Chupacabras recently but for those who have seen them play and liked them, here's some oodles of great news for you. Carl (their bassist) just freely "leaked" their recorded songs via e-mail and is encouraging us (the ones who got...
I am a bluish god!
The whole span of watching the Watchmen movie, I was just waiting for Dr. Manhattan to scream that. I've read the comics before and I know that nowhere in all 12 volumes did Dr. Manhattan do that. But since he's played by Billy Crudup and Billy Crudup played a guy who...

High school and open parties: Condemning the coños
Last week, the blogosphere had a blast discussing the jologs incident at the UP Fair. I wonder though, what will happen to this issue about an Ateneo high sophomore allegedly being mauled in an open party. This issue, I think, isn't getting enough mileage from the...
Ready… Set… Write!
As of today, I am embarking on the second longest writing work of my life - my graduate thesis. My undergraduate thesis was a critical discourse analysis of the Inquirer's representations of Fernando Poe Jr. in its editorials. It was a fun topic to write about. Nearly...
Google is broken! All search results flagged as harmful
UPDATE: And they fixed it in a matter of minutes. Read Google's official statement on the matter. (Thanks, Tina!) All of a sudden all search results are flagged as harmful, even Google's own! Hah, run around and do a Chicken Little! The world is ending folks! The...
