The Difference Between ‘Ng’ and ‘Nang’

JC John (ᜑᜓᜏᜈ᜔) — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 18:36:39 +0000

Learning English

nethan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:45:13 +0000

I wanted to teach Z to speak English ever since he was little but Daddy said no. He said that we should learn to speak our native language first and foremost.

CyberPress Official Statement: Being Unfair to Journalism

teknoy — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:55:30 +0000

I am not a member of CyberPress. However, I have friends and colleagues within this organization. But more importantly, I think it is ethically wrong to fire an editor because he was doing his job. I want you to read between the lines and realize that as a corollary, this is also why blogging is tough....

Chateau 1771 meets my ratty sneakers

netizen — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:18:02 +0000

I was a teeny bit nervous when I stepped inside Chateau 1771. It was a glorious looking place, with the big windows and elegant tables—definitely not a place where a t-shirt + jeans + ratty-sneaker-wearing person would belong. But the maitre d’ invited us in ever so nicely (They had a maitre...
