S.O.S.
Somewhere out in the World Wide Web, there’s a site that’s mine (marocharim.com), but it’s completely blank. I don’t know what to do with it. I’m one of those people painfully ignorant about HTML, webhosting, and the technicalities of it.
I won the domain in the recently-concluded Wika2007 Blog Writing Contest: as it seems, I’m about the only winner in that contest who has yet to figure out what to do with it, much less get around to do what I’m supposed to do with it. Matter of fact, I don’t know what to do with it. Strangely enough, the site was already there for me to take since the last week of September.
I am now on my virtual hands and knees, begging kind-hearted members of the Filipino blogging community to help me out with that site: the only thing I know how to do is to make images in Photoshop. Drop me a line at my site (marocharim.blogdrive.com) using any of the (in)conveniently-placed contacts there or through Contact Form, and please share with me your valuable knowledge on the matter of starting and running a website.
Thanks in advance.

At home with Joomla!
REMEMBER THAT WEBHOSTING PACKAGE that I won at PBS Wika 2007 blog tilt? It has come to life with the help of Joomla. It is an Open Source Content Management System. Honestly, I do not know anything about web development or content management system. So I asked Jared, one of my previous officemates who is now working as Systems Administrator for the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte and is currently based in Dipolog City, and he recommended Joomla.

Estrada pardon sets precedent for Arroyo
From having his spokespersons demand an “all-encompassing” amnesty, Estrada now had his lawyers withdraw his motion for reconsideration with the Sandiganbayan for his September 12 guilty verdict on two counts of plunder.
While insisting to bowing on the “wisdom of my lawyers” after realizing that “I don’t really stand a chance with the justice system that we have…,” Estrada also justifies his change of tack by saying that this would “start a healing process” for the “sharply divided nation” and that he can do something better for the country if he was free.
The long and short of it, he claims, is he was doing it with “the highest national interest” in mind.
Wanted: Politics & governance, and photography bloggers
I AM IN THE PROCESS of organizing and expanding my blogroll/ network. Since I already have 2 niche blogs on the following topics:
- Photography
- Public policy and governance, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development
I would like you to be part of my world. In this way we could easily exchange ideas and maybe more.
Pardon Erap? Pardon Me?!
Perhaps I will never ever understand the world of politics. Philippine politics, specifically. But, come to think of it, I don’t think the politicians do either. That’s why if they’re not at each other’s throats, they “unite” to get at another’s.
Former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada was unseated during the People Power 2 amidst all the numerous allegations against him. Some people questioned the legality of the process, but I believe the Filipinos (well, some, if not most) had spoken their displeasure over his presidency. Then a few weeks ago, the Sandiganbayan found Erap guilty of plunder after a 6-year long trial. He was sentenced to a penalty of reclusion perptua.
London Film Festival, day six
If you had a choice between supporting one of our own and celebrity spotting, which would you choose? I tried to do both, which doesn’t quite work out. Foster Child and Lion for Lambs red carpet on the same evening–ambitious, but worth a shot.
Funny Commercials on Philippine TV
Something to share to Pinoys who are not in the Philippines. 
Too bad it’s rarely seen, but this Sunkist tvc is one of the most hilarious current commercials:
Full, free and unconditional pardon
AS A FOLLOW THROUGH of my previous blog about this issue, I always make it a point to watch the news regarding the conviction of Former President Joseph Estrada for the crime of plunder. While watching him on the news yesterday, I realize once again that he did not only make himself lesser credible, but made him rather pathetic as he has, again, brazenly demonstrated his rude audacity.
The Comment Whore Week #16
