Clutch Citizenship
The woes of last-minute registration all have to boil down to a simple act of pasensyahan. The bureaucracy isn’t as efficient as it should be, and last-minute registration shows that people can push citizenship to the very last minute. Last-minute registration, in many ways, is a window to last-minute citizenship.
There was a time in Philippine basketball that all plays were made on clutch: “last two minutes.” Unfortunately, that kind of mindset does not translate to something...

Pup Craze
Please welcome, (Otis/Raja/Marchio), to the family!!!I still can't decide what to name our dearest "bunso" (youngest), a two-month-old shitzu male puppy. I still want to keep the noble title tradition but its getting harder. My cousin's exes are named Earl and King, and it would be in bad taste to name our baby either of those names. We don't want to offend the current boyfies who's also our friends. Although Prince is available, it is such a common name for a pup. So I'm left with Otis (not really...

Philippine Historians’ Dilemma: What is Philippine Culture?
Bourdaine’s episode in No Reservations about the Philippines quite adequately describes the reality of the culture.
Culture is described by, quite simply, “how we do things” (and all the existential iterations of the idea). Philippine culture is highly stratified by its economic classes, regions and the way different cultures (western, Chinese, and Muslim) affects each of these classes.
You can even say we are the Asian equivalent of America, where you have the largest variety of...

The Boss
Rule # 1: The Boss is always right.
Rule# 2: When the Boss is wrong, refer to Rule # 1.
For as long as the order is not illegal or immoral, it is poor judgment to defy or even question the Boss. Because even if your immediate boss is not The Boss or the owner/chief executive of the company, you are answerable only to your direct boss, just as he/she is answerable only to his/her immediate boss. So if you think that a certain order is counterproductive and not in the company’s best interest, you...

Pacquiao out to knock Cotto out
A knockout. This is how the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rican fighter Miguel Cotto would play out in November 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, gave this fearless forecast a few days prior to the big event. If Roach is correct, then, Manny will earn the distinction as the only fighter in the history of boxing with seven world titles in his belt.
Right now, Pacquiao has six titles. He moved in weight just to fight Cotto, who holds the World Boxing Organization...

It might seem sometimes that SEO is a one-string violin, concentrating all its energy on achieving harmony in one search area. A wise SEO strategy, however, allows for diversification of keywords between pages.

Forsaken
I don’t even know you’re there
But somehow you show me that you care
Forsaken – what I ought to be
Yet without you there, you seem to comfort me
I’ve committed terrible disgrace
Can’t excuse myself with “It’s only a phase”
Forsaken – what I ought to be
Yet for countless times you seem to shelter me
I find myself in the dark
And I won’t even call your name
But for some unknown reason
You give me something to breathe on
And I realize you’re...

Creamy potato soup
Before we went to bed last night, typhoon signal #2 had been raised over Rizal Province. Which means no school for my younger daughter, Alex. She got up late this morning, asked what we were having for lunch and I told her, we’ve having her favorite — fried tilapia. And she asked if we could [...]...
