Lower fares expected as fuel prices drop
October 31, 2008

nathanandrada.wordpress.com
Pump prices drastically dropped yesterday pushing renewed calls for reduced transport fare prices in buses and jeepneys. Fortunately for commuters, they will get their wish after the All Souls weekend when transport groups and the government agreed by principle to implement it. After all, diesel, which fuels most of our public transport, dropped by five to six bucks per liter.
Despite declining pump prices in the past few weeks, yesterday’s reduction is the biggest. Petroleum products continue to slope downwards since the financial crisis, that has now engulfed the world, broke out. This trend points to falling demand in the United States but consumers there are not complaining. At least driving their SUVs would not mean they have to cut their basic cable subscriptions.
However, some feel this is merely a token effort on the part of the oil companies. In addition, the left in the House of Representatives are pushing for the Oil Deregulation Law, which was intended to promote completion in the oil industry, to be repealed and even the conservatives in the Senate are calling for added taxation to the likes of Shell, Petron, and Chevron in an attempt to unlock their books to the public.
But what does it really mean to Juan the retail store employee? For a hundred bucks per day, perhaps he will get to save at least P6 when commuting to work and back to his home. That is enough to buy coffee during his break. Something he deserves for working his ass off for the last 10 years yet not able to pay his bills on a regular basis.
Top 10 Hit Songs - October
October 31, 2008
ue to the overwhelming views of my current Top 10 Hit songs Article last month, which is the most viewed article I’ve ever written, which is also responsible for the dramatic increase of this blog’s traffic; I now present to you the October Issue of the Top 10 Hit Songs!
*ranks were based from Billboard Hot 100 Singles, songs currently dominating the airwaves and of course, my personal favorites*
1. Disturbia - Rihanna
The song title itself is enough to catch one music lover’s attention. And the music video is just exactly what I pictures it is as I listened to the lyrics of Rihanna’s latest hit song. After listening to it, you just can’t help but utter the song’s introductions, “bum bum be dum bum bum be dum bum”

How to Add an Animated Image to the Post Title in Blogger
October 31, 2008
I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to add random images to the post title so I decided to just add an animated image instead.
The file extension of the animated image is .GIF and I managed to locate an online conversion page in gifninja.com. Fortunately, the instructions are very well understandable and easy to perform.
Next, I tweaked my layout codes by adding this to my post title code (in my layout it’s .post h3)

Gloomy consumer confidence halts market rally
October 30, 2008
by Ednathan Thadeu Andrada
nathanandrada.wordpress.com
The cat is out and the Federal Reserve did lower short-term interest rates by 50 basis points. It also provided a bleak view of the economy that pulled down the major stock indexes in the US. After yesterday’s record surge that saw the Dow, the NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 all rise, the news became a bit of a reality check which dampened the mood of the investment community leading to the sell-off.
The Fed is certainly very much concerned with the plunging consumer confidence that has hit its lowest level since the mid 1970s during the oil crisis. In other words, people are cutting back on spending especially on high ticket items like cars and appliances. Fears over job security because of the credit crisis make people take a second look on the items they purchase and that hurts the profit expectations of companies. Companies on the other hand, continue to slash jobs in order to keep afloat. Huge layoffs by companies, like the one by auto giant General Motors, is one of the more vivid demonstration of how the Wall Street crisis has affected Main Street.
Meanwhile, many of those jobs are fast migrating abroad like here in the Philippines. Just as China are taking over US manufacturing jobs, the Philippines have been getting many of the services jobs of American companies as we have seen the explosion of the call center industry here in the last decade. This has boosted consumer spending here especially in the urban centers where these call centers are operating. But it is interesting to see whether the slowdown in the US will have any effect to the flow of services jobs here. Many of the client pool of these call centers incidentally belong to the financial sector, which has been badly hit by the crisis like the now-bankrupt Washington Mutual.
Liverpool stay in top with 1-0 win over Pompey
October 30, 2008
Early this morning when I was preparing to go to work, I opened the TV to watch the latest in Wall Street but was surprised to see Barclays Premier League games on ESPN and Star Sports. I did not catch SportsCenter last night but I did check out the TV listings on ESPN’s website yesterday and found there were no BPL games on schedule.
Still, I was a bit disappointed that the Liverpool-Portsmouth game was never covered but I did see Arsenal went ahead 4-2 against Spurs after a massive Emmanuel Adebayor goal. Amazingly, when I checked the results just a few minutes ago on the web, Tottenham managed to grab a point at the Emirates as the scoreline ended 4-4. No doubt that the Houdini has really made a positive difference in that club.
Earlier, I was concerned that Liverpool might lose two points or worse will be beaten by Pompey with the match still scoreless at the half while the rest of the Big Four already hacking up a double in their respective fixtures. But Captain Marvelous Steven Gerrard made a goal 15 minutes left that proved to be the winner. That kept the Reds a full game ahead of Chelsea and 8 points top of Manchester United.
This is a good sign for Liverpool despite missing their top striker Fernando Torres. They are not burning the back of the net like the rest of the Big Four but they are getting the job done. And that is what matters. Incidentally, they will be up against the resurgent Spurs in the weekend in an interesting match up of two clubs that have so much to prove.

Methane and Nitrogen Triflouride: The Greenhouse Ghosts
October 30, 2008
Man-made greenhouse is the big haunted house that scares its creator. Greenhouse for gardening system was built to confuse and then evolve to greenhouse effect to keep humans in its unending worries of existence. Although the terms “greenhouse” and “greenhouse effect” operate on different mechanism, it has a similar function of heat trapping through infrared absorbing gases. And with the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere, it keep hounding humans instead of providing a life-giving shield to all living things. Read more @ Pinoy Barking Hall
In the Hands of Death
October 30, 2008
I was still in fifth grade back then and attending school felt like a coerced responsibility. I had to sleep earlier than usual since I had to be fully awake by five in the morning. Of course, “fully awake” for me meant being stirred to life by a cold shower and the rants spewing out of the radio on weekdays. What can I say? Back in our place, we start our day with a full serving of diabolic sermons from radio commentators first thing for breakfast. Or at least that is as far as I can remember if my memory won’t fail me. Suffice it to say, though, that Mondays through Fridays were days of burden for a young learner, and to this day I still have the eye bags to prove my point.
Come Saturday and my siesta would stretch from dawn until dusk, and sometimes from dusk until the next evening. Either way, my body would willingly submit itself to a full stretch of rest on weekends that oftentimes I forget to eat. If anorexia was a fad back then, and somehow I felt it was, I could easily pass for a popular restaurant commodity otherwise known as toothpick, but that’s another story. Going back, I could very well recall one lazy afternoon when I touched the freezing hands of death, which is the only way I can literally justify a horrifying experience with an understatement.

The Money Washing Machine

It is not unusual in the police and military officers that we find from them millionaires or even billionaires after their retirement from the service. They accumulate wealth from behind the scene and concealed sources while portraying a picture of honest and incorruptible officials. In their retirement, they maintain the power and financial gains to influence subordinate officials and a ready capital either for luxurious living or for the pursuit of elective and more lucrative position in the government.

Rafa-era Reds finally win at the Bridge
October 28, 2008
by Ednathan Thadeu Andrada
nathanandrada.wordpress.com
Coming into this game, I already conditioned myself that it we would be lucky if Liverpool could at least snatch a point in their game against Chelsea. Odds are certainly against us especially that the it has been four years now since Rafael Benitez acrimoniously left then La Liga champions Valencia to manage England’s most decorated club, yet until Sunday he has yet to muster a win against their bitter rivals from London.
Can not blame me nor even many of Liverpool fans all over the world for being cautiously pessimistic on any idea of a win at Stamford Bridge since Chelsea themselves has not tasted defeat in their grounds in 86 games. Although, the day eventually belonged to Liverpool, defender Jamie Carragher, who received the nod as the game’s best player for keeping Nicolas Anelka less ambitious in the box than usual, was quick to downplay their title credentials saying it was still too early in the season.
I, too, believe that Liverpool, despite at the top of the BPL table after nine matches played, needs more than this win to convince most especially their supporters that they are indeed serious contenders for the league this season. What they need is to win against the middle table clubs like the Blackburns, the Portsmouths, and the Aston Villas consistently, something they have had difficulty in the last four years.
This Wednesday, Liverpool has a chance to stay three points or more clear of their closest rival as they face a Portsmouth side which drew in the weekend and just lost their manager Harry Redknapp to Tottenham. This is a good opportunity to bolster their chances as they find themselves in unfamiliar territory being chanced by the rest of the Big Four.
Selling spree Monday
October 28, 2008
by Ednathan Thadeu Andrada

The Dow fell sharply in last night’s trading shedding off another 203 points to kick off this week on a bearish mood. Despite pulling modest gains halfway into the session, another late rally southward, which has been eminent for weeks now, proved to be another pivotal setback for equities.
Earlier, Asian and European shares got hammered with even Japan’s Nikkei falling to its 26-year low. There is even talk that the US might follow the Japanese experience when it suffered a long recession after their real estate bubble burst in the late 80s. Almost the same premise now hounds the US with the housing collapse blamed as the culprit for their current woes.
The Phisix fell over 12 percent in yesterday’s session and trading was even stopped momentarily for 15 minutes due to the massive sell-off shades of what happened in Moscow weeks ago when their stock exchange went on a free fall. A lot of wealth has already been lost in the PSE in this past few weeks. Consumer demand in this country is expected to slow down and not even the holidays could make people spend in the level they used to.
Despite the peso’s fall against the dollar, it is not yet ‘all bets are off’ in terms of positive effect to the economy especially for the beneficiaries of remittances. Families of OFWs are likely to hoard their dollars anyway and this continued slow consumer spending would just keep the real economy dampened. This is a ripe scenario for a properties bubble especially here in Manila. Banks that are highly exposed to the property sector would feel the pinch which would lead to a possible credit crunch in the financial system. On the surface, the crisis has barely affected our everyday lives, but the signs are coming and their coming fast.

Countdown to the Presidency of the Good Ol’ US of A
October 28, 2008

I used to reserve countdowns to occasions that mean a lot of eating and pigging out, but the US Presidential Elections is such an important event that it deserves its own hallowed place in my countdown list. I don’t give a damn about the global financial crisis because all my bank accounts add up to a grand total of 39.27 Philippine Pesos. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have only one bank account.
The Lehman Brothers, Freddie Mac, Freddie Mae and all those odd-sounding financial institutions may collapse like a deck of cards, yet I will be the least affected by this scenario. What is more relevant than the panicking traders in Wall Street is the US Presidential Elections on November 8, 2008. Two presidential candidates going by the names of Barack Obama and John McCain (in no particular order) as well as a slew of meaningless, obscure nuisances (is Ralph Nader in the mix?) vie for the much maligned position of American President in a world that has become more and more anti-American by the minute.
Yeah, good old Dubya will have to bid farewell early next year. Good riddance, Mr. Bush. We hope that your decision to send troops to Godforsaken places like Iraq and Afghanistan will bode well for America’s future and result in Osama Bin Laden’s foot soldiers getting a good a-whipping. We hope that your recent $700 billion bailout plan will help the world economy back on its shaky feet. You deserve a pat on the back for your earnest efforts. Only history will judge your performance as US President, but for the meantime, let’s place judgment on the two major presidential candidates who are looking for a 4-year lease on White House.
