ABC ZTE

These grown men should just have a fist fight outside the Senate and settle their differences then and there. Because if all of these men are deemed to be telling lies, who else will the public believe in?

It’s All Fun and Games Until Houses Burn Down

…and someone, namely me, gets burnt out.

The petty thefts (if you can call them that) stopped when we installed a gate. The bakal boys went out of business when we padlocked and cemented the damn water meter. The rowdy crowd lessened when we got a fierce guard dog. We couldn’t stop power theft, however, but we let it pass and still pay for the ridiculously high bill. It shouldn’t be a big deal, right?

Hell, no!

Really, I live in such a bad neighborhood that even my father thinks of moving. Again. I know the meaning of pakikisama, just as people here don’t even know that there exists such a word. I try hard to keep my temper (though I fail most of the time) whenever our next door neighbor splashes hot water on, and hurt our dog. And after almost 10 years of screaming marathons, dealing with malicious drug addicts, suicides and murders, gang wars, flying bottles, and crazy bastards, I’ve officially given up on this place. It’s now filed under my Hopeless Case folder.

Neri and Karina

Neri can sleep peacefully since he refused an offer which couldn’t be refused and more importantly, he has not violated the vow of omerta, oops, executive privilege. Neri is no Chavit Singson, Clarissa Ocampo or Karina Constanito David. Neri is, well, Neri. The witness who told the convenient truth but left out the inconvenient truth.

Show support for Myanmar Democracy Movement

This is an idea for all bloggers especially the ASEAN Citizens.

To show our support with the movement going on in Myanmar these past days, let us show banners and/or badges on our respective blogs with a positive message saying the likes of: “Myanmar for Democracy” or “Myanmar for Peaceful Reconciliation”, or any message you can think of. Let us all try to avoid being negative or anti- to the rulers of Myanmar as this will not help at all. But if you insist on being anti- and create banners and/or badges with the messages “No to Myanmar’s Military Regime” or “Myanmar’s Military Regime time to step down” (pretty long), or the likes, you are free to do so. Though again, a positive message is more preferable.

A Friend to Remember

Happy Birthday to me,

Happy Birthday to me;

Happy Birthday, dear Rara,

Happy Birthday to me..

*Sigh. I’m year older again.

*I’ve made my URL a li’l bit shorter now. Update your links:

Actually, bukas pa ang birthday ko. The usual day for me. No cakes, party, no balloons(balloons?!!) for me. But its okay. I’d rather spend my birthday sleeping. The most memorable birthday I had was wayback 2003. I was turning 18 then. Because i was an activist, I don’t need a party at that time(’coz 18 years old is=debut); I’d prefer my parents to give me money. I spent my birthday hanging out with fellow tibaks(activists).

Stop Verbal Abuse

I don’t like being shouted at or having to endure other forms of verbal abuse. I don’t like it at all.

In fact, when I get shouted at, my tendency is to rethink the importance of that person in my life. After all, I don’t think anyone deserves to be treated as such. If he or she does not really matter much to you, then why continue the relationship and subject yourself to more abuse?

Awesome Email

Not everyone uses email for sending boring, “Thank you for your email thanking me for my email” messages. Imaginative individuals all over the place have thought up all sorts of original uses for cyberpost. Here are one of them…Drop Us A Line - A teacher and his class of eight-years olds at a school in Nebraska in the United States decided to do a geography project based on the Internet. They send ou of 25 emails and asked people to reply to them so they could pinpoint where the responses had come from. So how many replies do you think they get? Answer?

PLDT sucks

Replace the “S” with an “F” on the title and you’ll know how I really feel.

Our phone line died last Tuesday. People could hear the number ringing but there’s no dial tone at our end of the line. We immediately reported it to PLDT’s 173, but as usual they give all kinds of excuses for not scheduling a lineman to go to your area immediately.

A few hours ago we called again. They said that it would take 2 to 3 weeks to repair the problem.

What Do We Get from Blogging?

What do you get from blogging?

I bet almost all of us have already been asked with the question above by those who are oblivious to our world. Most of them were questions of curiosity from annoyed mothers and jealous girlfriends, but there are also from those aspiring bloggers who want to know more about the world they would be engaging.

Of course, it is only natural for people to ask if whether a particular task is worth time and effort. Nobody wants to waste time and energy on a task that doesn’t earn them anything in return.

So, what do people get from blogging? Is blogging really worth all the time, effort, and money?

Blogging gives us an avenue for self expression
A blog’s main function, as I have always defined, is to serve as an avenue of self expression for bloggers. Like a piece of paper to a writer or a canvas to a painter, blogs allow us to express our feelings, thoughts and opinions on the internet mainly in the form of writing (There are also other forms like podcasting, videoblogging, photoblogging, etc.).

The Oscar de La Hoya Scandal and Callcenter Sex Videos! WTF?

If you don’t have Cable TV (or if you live a pathetic life and you don’t have a TV at all), then most probably you haven’t heard of the Oscar de La Hoya Scandal. So yeah, 2 days after the so-called scandal, I decided to make a post about it. Not that it’s more important than my long-delayed wedding post (I just can’t seem to strike a high note with it yet), but it’s just something that I feel am responsible to share.  Read more here.

Stop Spiritual Abuse!

Are you serving God sincerely but receiving cruel treatment from your church leader? If you think that your church leader uses “divine authority” to control, manipulate, or dominate you then you might be a victim of spiritual abuse.

What is Spiritual Abuse?

Spiritual abuse happens when a spouse or a person in religious authority misleads you in the name of God, and then attempts to control your mind and faith once more in the name of God or the church.

The perpetuator of spiritual abuse takes advantage of your spirituality by …

Matt, Me, and Insect Bites

[WARNING: CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND PLOT LINE NSFW. R-18]

I have insect bites. Two on one arm, five on the other, one on my right calf, two on one inner leg, and one somewhere on my back. Bad thing is I don’t know what bit me so self-medicating has only left me feeling more desperate after trying about five different remedies including drenching the blasted bloated f*cks with ammonia. In fact, I’m so desperate that I’d try anything to make me forget my discomfort, say talk to a dog and imagine him responding intellectually to my otherwise pathetic take at an engaging convo perhaps.

Meet Matt, the talking dog, and hear his views at fritzified.com>>

It’s Hard Being a Cannibal

Contrary to popular opinion, being a cannibal is not all roses and rainbows. In fact, it can be downright lonely. You can only have people over for dinner only once, and you keep running out of friends. When you do get to meet new people, they have this tendency of turning their backs on you once they find out the truth.

But I’m here to tell you that cannibals are people too. We have feelings, thoughts, and ideas too. Don’t you think we get hurt when nobody shows up for our dinner parties? Don’t you think we do not bleed when you fight back as your last vestiges of life slowly fades away? Don’t you think we get tired of the constant ridicule? Enough is enough! We demand respect! We demand acceptance! But most of all, we demand you to keep still!

Data Entry Jobs

I would introduce myself as a homemaker.  I was working till I delivered a baby and couldn’t go for work after that, as there was no one to take care of the baby and my income was not really needed to run the family.  But then, my self confidence and ego shattered due to the inability to make something fruitful and useful by me.  Also the financial independence had taken a beating.  I was searching for a home based job for a long time over the internet, but couldn’t succeed.   One fine day I read articles about data entry and home based jobs on http://dataentryonlinejobs.googlepages.com  that gave me an insight on data entry jobs, ways to get jobs, tips for making it as a business opportunity from home.  I was worried whether I could be able to do work from home just the way I used to work in an office.  I read more about the subject, realized how to make a professional approach even when working from home, and also found the importance of being professional with the clients, as far they are concerned, their job is getting done, they do not bother if it is done from an office or home if the work is really good and professionally managed.

Blog Attack!

Gee, it was only hours ago when I wrote my review of Star Cinema’s I’ve Fallen For You, which I watched in last night’s premiere as a chaperon to my younger sister and her classmates. Usually, I post the review the day after I watch the movie.
Now the entry is flooded with comments by angry Kimerald (KIM Chiu + GERALD Anderson) fans, the lead stars of the movie.

How did this happen?

I checked out my dashboard and noticed that the biggest referrer is PinoyExchange.com, an online forum. Someone posted this along with a link:

Movie review ng nanood ng premier kagabi. Di siya nagandahan.
Movie Review: I’ve Fallen for You

That’s where it started. I’ve had comments saying that I’m part of some campaign to ruin the movie, that I have no right to post my opinion on the film, that I’m a frustrated film writer, etc. Worse, there were calls to delete the entry or shelve it for two weeks because it might affect the opening weekend gross. And in the forum, there have been posts insinuating how arrogant I am to post this during the opening day! (Perhaps I’m their equivalent of Malu Fernandez)
Personally, I think it’s absurd that an unknown blog’s review will actually affect sales! The Kim and Gerald tandem has such a large fan base, it’s bound to rake in monster ticket sales no matter how many reviewers say that they didn’t like the movie.

Even my sister is telling me to compromise and keep it hidden for a few days just to cool the heads of the fans! But that’s because she’s a Kim-Gerald fan herself who does not want to be ostracized the next time she drops in a shooting.

But this raises important questions:

1. Who says what to write in our blogs?
2. What can we write and not write? The funny thing is that most of my critique centered on loose elements of the plot, not Kim and Gerald themselves.
3. What is the difference between a fair and an unfair review?
4. Should bloggers compromise?
5. When should bloggers compromise? I’m really concerned about my sister’s interests. She says she can manage, “dyahe lang.”
6. Will the angry fans ever hack my blog?

Oh well, that’s life on blogs — we’ve got to hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and stand up for what we write.

Is Your Blog Taking a Lot of Time to Load?

If I were to describe the internet users of today in one word, I should say that the word “impatient” sums them up pretty nicely.

A few days ago, I fancied trying out Internet Explorer in viewing my blog just to check how things would turn out compared to FireFox. As expected, their differences already showed just as the pages on their screens started loading. And it was at that time that I found out something very unsettling.

If I got the timing right, it takes about a minute or so for my main page to fully load using Internet Explorer and around 45 seconds using FireFox under a DSL connection. My observations may seem insignificant to some but such an amount of time is already alarming for both web developers and internet specialists.

Internet users are known to be very impatient people. They don’t want to wait and waste their time. They want their food as hot and as fast as possible. One minute is already a lot of time. It may be okay for a regular reader of my blog to wait and endure a whole minute, but for a new visitor? Highly unlikely.

Small Potato from WPDesigner once said in one of his reviews that “you have less than eight seconds to keep a user in front of a loading screen“. So if it takes more than that, chances are, your visitors might give up waiting for your blog to load! Gasp!
