W3 Hiatus… Season 2 starts next month!

In case you haven’t heard from the last W3 episode (or the fact that there hasn’t been any activity here lately like say NewsBits), World 3 is currently on hiatus and will resume geekifying next month. That is of course if things will work out smoothly between us regulars since most of us have steady-ish jobs now and crazy rackets. But hey worry not — I’m positive and 80% sure we’ll record a new W3 episode this coming November. Count on it. In the mean time, here’s...

Armando Lao’s Biyaheng Lupa

Armando 'Bing' Lao first feature film is being unleashed today as part of the Cinemanila International Film Festival.

Pasion, Jay Altarejos, and many others. Here's the synopsis of the film: A bus takes off from urban Manila to the rustic southeastern side of the country,...

Fuckwad Theory

The psychologist John Suler calls it the “online disinhibition effect,” but I’d rather call it what it’s supposed to be called: The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.  In many ways, it’s true: whatever normalizes the psyche breaks down because the sense of identity is not very well-articulated online.  After all, it’s just text and images: the mode and method of articulation is limited to what can be used, and what is understood.  In the words of Deleuze and...

Back, and thank you times two

Just arrived from a working trip to Syria. You'd never know how much you could miss Pinoy food until you've spent an entire week eating hummus, frikeh and baba ganoush. All good dishes, really--but after the nth banquet of Arab food I was dying for sinigang, sisig, crispy pata, kare-kare. I've sworn off Mister Kabab for at least a year, I tell you. But the trip itself was awesome. If you're somebody like me who heads not to the nearest shopping mall in a new country, but to its churches, palaces,...
