Erap for President?

Erap announced his intention to run for president in 2010. My oh my. There are a lot of things to say, but where do I  start?

His proclamation was held in Tondo, Manila, in front of Sto. Niño Church. With all the cases hurled towards Estrada and his family, you’d think he wouldn’t attempt on running anymore. At least that’s what I thought. The number of attendees and the fervor that emanated from the place whilst he is making his announcement showed  that amidst his political problems and questionable intentions, he still has a decent number of supporters. He may rank 3rd now, but Estrada still has a few months to go.

Masskara Festival 2009 First runner up: Brgy Mandalagan

They were the defending champion. It was their first time to join last year and instantly won the Championship trophy. That’s why a lot of other competing groups consider Brgy Mandalagan as the group to beat. And so last October 17 and 18 they performed at the streets and at the Bacolod City Plaza, with so many people cheering for them. I love their costume. I thought they’re going to win the Best in Costume trophy. But it was awarded to Brgy Taculing. But they manged to snatch the...

Your Heart’s Perfect Combo

Comfort Food? Fast food chains have recently become an unloading site of frustrations and problems. Fat, salt, and sugar – the perfect combo for the heart. On a very busy afternoon, I dragged myself to an almost packed McDonald’s to meet up with my girl friends. After a trip to the same food chain just about a week ago, I more or less have an idea how that afternoon was going to turn out. Boy, was I right! So, we sat there, with our table loaded with fries, burgers and a single sundae...

411 on 5043

Responsible Parenthood House bill 5043 is also known as the Reproductive Health and Population Development Act. The Philippine Government has debated on the issue for so long now, that any hopes I have for this bill has dissipated to thin air. To go into details would be a waste of time as you can read the full text here. What bothers me today, are the reasons people have for not wanting to pass this bill. Maybe I’m being biased, but come on really, what’s so bad about this Act? I...

WordPress 2.8.5 Security Update

Image from www.blogohblog.com This new Wordpress update is called “hardening version”. I’m waiting for the 2.9 version but according to WordPress developers, they need to back-port some security fixes they are working for 2.9 into 2.8. This is to make all previous versions as secured as possible. I guess the most important headline among the changes is the fix for DOS or Denial of Service. This trackback remote denial of service vulnerability is a nasty bugs that could exploits...

…I’d like to do before I turn 30. 30 signifies an end and a beginning of a new phase. Thinking that I’m soon going to turn 30, made me think of the things I’d like to do before I reach this age.
