what my name means
2008-05-02 21:34:00 03 may 2008makati citythanks to kim, i have something to relieve my tension-filled life today. through her kindness, i was able to locate a site that discloses my personality...hehe...You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get work...

first call
2008-04-21 00:02:00 21 april 2008makati cityGood thing Ayin was still there. Otherwise, I might have been unable to connect to Saafi and Fernando, who were waiting like a ravenous tiger ready to fall its newly edged teeth to its hapless prey. My emotions flew like a wayward missile. This was my first time to have a call on my own, with me as the facilitator and the clients as devil?s advocates. Not until that call, I thought I could easily weave words to satisfy the ears of the clients. Though I must admit that even with my conviction that is sometimes larger than life, I was still anxious to do it. Before hearing the growl on the other line, I was at a loss I just crossed my legs to pacify my urge to pee. Worst part was that Boss Robi was sitting behind me, which would mean that I could have sermon as my side dish for my breakfast. When I heard Saafi?s voice, I was glad I was able to regain my composure. Thanks for the script and spiels I prepared which proved to be helpful in my presentation. Then th... More About: Call
tuesday with melon
2008-04-15 23:42:00 16 april 2008makati cityIt is now a week delayed. And it has nothing to do with melon. It?s just I think it would look more poetic and cutie using this title. Anyway, to some extent, it would matter as I just doused the Tuesday afternoon heat wave away with several glasses of melon shake. My Tuesday afternoon was not in its usual boring fashion. I woke up early (in my ordinary days, getting out of bed at 11am is record-breaking) and tried to brush off the cobweb that had been lodging in my gray matter for the longest time. Playing on the background were the early 90?s songs from women-led bands (Hole, the Cranberries, 10,000 Maniacs and Moonpools and Caterpillar), I couldn?t help looking back when I was romantically-attached to everything surrounding me. I was flammable by then, which made me explode and swell at no exact point in time. Songs of grunge bands, Eraserheads and women-led bands encapsulate my mood in my juvenile years ? a tug of war between being angst-ridden and dreamy... More About: Melon

No Turning Back (?)
2007-12-31 04:12:00 31 december 2007makati cityThis year dawned not with a bang but with a heavy heart. After spending nights gorging on cans of coke and packs of Marlboro over a videoke with friends I?d lost connection to, I was forced to cut down my stay in our province, throwing away my much-anticipated VL into vacuum. From this, I had known that my year was off to a bad start.But it did not turn out as bad as I was expecting. In fact, blessings came after the other, thanks for not being expectant of something I longed for. After going ballistic and running amok for not getting the position I was salivating after, I just shrugged my shoulder and let things go off. Unearth the antagonism that had been harboring in me, and view things in rose-colored glasses. This was so un-me, crediting this transformation to Tina, Ayin and the Vukes who sucked up all my angst during those times.A ?not-so-me? has been very hard to live up.

Rock en Roll
2007-09-07 14:23:00 07 Sept 2007 makati cityBy this time tomorrow, I would probably be in the thickness of the rocking and rolling Akkaw throng. With can of Coke squeezed in my right hand and pack of Marlboro sandwich between my fingers, I might be dancing or headbanging or shrieking to the top of my lungs to the tune of the homegrown music of Baler. Thrill has been enveloping me these past days as I am really looking forward to this event. I just realised during one of my sould-searching moments that I have been neglected of social life for quite a long time, after assuming a quality specialist work. It's kinda raw to think that the party-goer/barfly in me has already entered in the face of oblivion. This might be a sign of extinction. Gone are the days when nothing mattered but concerts and gigs. I am now in the phase of "Been there, done that" attitude. However, I may be too fool to let to-die-for concerts pass, but this one I won't definitely miss. More About: Rock , Roll

Novelist Kurt Vonnegut dies at age 84
2007-04-14 20:47:00 By CHRISTIAN SALAZAR,Associated Press WriterNEW YORK - Kurt Vonnegut , the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse- Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84. Vonnegut, who often marveled that he had lived so long despite his lifelong smoking habit, had suffered brain injuries after a fall at his Manhattan home weeks ago, said his wife, photographer Jill Krementz.The author of at least 19 novels, many of them best-sellers, as well as dozens of short stories, essays and plays, Vonnegut relished the role of a social critic. He lectured regularly, exhorting audiences to think for themselves and delighting in barbed commentary against the institutions he felt were dehumanizing people."I will say anything to be funny, often in the most horrible situations," Vonnegut, whose watery, heavy-lidded eyes and unruly hair made him seem to be in existential pain, once told a gathering of...

Tuition increase, utilization of idled assets, exorbitant fees impositions; these have become normal scenes in the face of struggling youth.This year isn?t an exemption. The reenacted budget adds up to the crisis, resulting in a huge number of dropouts. Clearly, the education has rapidly becoming a privilege to the affluent few, and not a right which the Constitution has clearly stipulated.After reviewing the education sector situation, the Kabataan Partylist has come up with the following analysis:Budget reenactment spells tuition hikes, more dropouts in state schoolsThe Kabataan Party today warned of a looming catastrophe for the education sector this year should Congress fail to pass the 2007 national budget.?A reenacted budget could trigger the worst education crisis in histor...
