E[kwento]MO: Emo Writing Contest
September 7, 2008
Lahat tayo may mga kadramahan sa buhay, at lahat yun may dahilan, may kwentong nakapaloob. Wala naman hindi nakakaranas ng kalungkutan. Lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang malulungkot na ala-alang di malilimutan. Aminin natin, lahat sa atin a may nakapaloob na isang emo – tipong madrama, pero hindi naman yung suicidal type. Umiiyak tayo, nasasawi, nabibigo, at natututo.
Kaya nabuo ang event na ito. Kung saan isasali ang pinakamadadramang blog entries nakakaiyak na drama, at kung anu-ano pang kaEMOhan. Manalo ng domain at hosting, at higit sa lahat, mailalabas mo ang matagal nang kinikimkim, ipatak muli ang mga luhang minsan nang napawi. Sumali na sa E[kwento]MO, basahin mo na ang mechanics.

The Eraserheads: Crossing Paths with Titans
September 3, 2008
Everybody’s talking about the Eraserheads these days. Hardcore fans. Posers. New media. Old media. All because of their reunion concert. This reminded me of how rabid a fan I was back in the 90’s and how casual an observer I am now. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the hell out of them and their music. I just loved them more when I was younger and the band was just beginning to shake the foundations of the Philippine music industry. It is all still fresh in my mind.

Halili-Cruz Ballet School
August 28, 2008
It is probably one of the best dance and ballet schools in the Philippines. Their students performed very well during the 10th Asia-Pacific Dance Competition in Singapore last July. Many in the Philippines must have read about it in the papers there. I have a niece who joined them for the first time this year. So, along with her mom, my younger sis, they traveled to Singapore to join the team. When I was young (ehem) and in our place, ballet was not so popular as in the cities. Although at school, we had the basics for dancing in our PE classes. But it never went beyond that. Folkdance was much cheaper so we had to settle for it. It would have been nice for our posture and the way we hold ourselves if we had ballet as part of our regimen …

New Olympic events for GRP
August 28, 2008
In the midst of finger-pointing and the blame game, it’s back to square one for Team Philippines as the debacle in Beijing takes center stage at next week’s sports summit of sports leaders.

The Economics behind Olympic Medals
August 27, 2008
Finally, the 2008 Olympic Games have come to an end. We can all go back to our normal and boring lives. But before we forget about Michael Phelps, the Bird’s Nest, and the Chinese prostitutes complaining about bad business, lets look at the final standings of the top four countries.
China has the most gold medals with 51. They garnered a total of 100 medals, second only to the United States. Second is the USA which collected 36 gold medals but garnered 110 medals all in all. Third place goes to Russia with 72 medals, 23 of which are gold. Great Britain received 47 medals, 19 of which are gold.
I know what you’re thinking. What does this got to do with economics? Well, a professor from Colorado College named Daniel Johnson tried to predict the outcome of the Beijing Games.
