Heretics and Monkeys
(First Sunday of May)
It was after my mom’s lecture that first he spoke out again with the same arguments on why should I cut my hair.
I really cant believe him that much of his preaching because he cant follow much of it himself.
The one that stands out is the fact that he told me to go to church every Sunday.
After months of laziness and procrastination, I have finally gone to church. One of the Readings was about The Good Shepherd. Something about listening and protection.
A couple of people mistook my fedora, which was upside down on a nearby table, for those holy water hand dips.

Marina Village Resort
My friends and I decided to take a weekend trip to Moalboal and see for ourselves what the place has to offer. We have heard many stories about Moalboal having some of the best diving in the Philippines, beautiful beaches, and quaint beach resorts that are not so expensive.
The ride to Moalboal was quick and pleasant. Unlike the buses to Moalboal, the v-hires make one rest stop on the two-hour drive. We much preferred taking a v-hire compared to a bus to Moalboal and the cost is only P100 each way. The v-hire schedule back to Cebu City is a bit dicier because the v-hires leaving from Moalboal do not pay much for parking, and as a result, leave only when the van is full. We were lucky to only have to wait for 30 minutes.
USB Upgrade: SuperSpeed USB 3.0
The most impressive feature of this new USB upgrade is its bi-directional data interface, which means that the new USB standard will be able to send and receive data at the same time. Yes, absolutely! Every device connected to your PC through USB 3.0 will boast a high data transfer rates compared to current USB 2.0.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specification promises to transfer data 10 times faster than the current USB 2.0 standard. If you want a bits and bytes comparison, USB 3.0 comes in at 5 Gigabits per second (Gbps), while USB 2.0 has a top data transfer rate of just 480 megabits per second. That’s what makes this stuff SuperSpeed!
Talking about power…well it’s another nifty feature of USB 3.0 since it has the ability to provide more power- up to 50 per cent more power – to connected peripherals and devices. That will mean fewer additional power bricks will be required by peripherals that can get all of their power through the USB cable… Read More…
bumalik sa pagkabata
Poet Rainer Maria Rilke spoke of our childhoods as a powerhouse of stories. As writers, we should use this to our advantage.
