Verbatim: Heaven, Hell and Science High School X
2007-09-20 14:23:00 It’s always interesting and exciting to deal with intelligent young people in high schools - especially those who are vocal and very willing to fight for what they believe in with much gusto and of course, logical substantiation. I received an email with an attached article. The sender has expressed his/her intent to remain ... More About: Science , Heaven , School , High School , Hell
The 400!
2007-09-20 05:51:00 While I was browsing some other atheist blogs last night (here, here and here), I was able to see a long list that was scrolling in one of the sidebars. Apparently, Mojoey has been steadily building a strong and formidable listing of blogs that follow an Atheist or Agnostic leaning. I signed up immediately and ...
Volunteering At The Cancer Institute
2007-09-19 17:46:00 My current rotation in Family Medicine has proved to be a bit more benign (in UP Manila speak, not that taxing), so I impulsively went to “volunteer” for night duty at Philippine General Hospital’s Cancer Institute . From 8 PM to 1 AM, I helped out in monitoring patients’ vital signs and carrying out orders (blood ... More About: Volunteering , Erin

2007-09-18 16:39:00 Over the weekend, the best debaters and adjudicators from five units of the University of the Philippines took part in the 2nd University of the Philippines Intervarsities.

Two-Thirds & The UPLB Intervarsities
2007-09-13 16:39:00 Thanks to Shari for uploading this photo from Bloggers’ Kapihan. In this picture, you would see an apprentice who is very happy to see one of his mentors. Thank you Manolo for standing next to me for this! Hehe. Why Two-Third s? Well, just like MLQ3, I’m also the third in a line of Benjamins. ...
Ticket? Booked!
2007-09-11 16:52:00 I just paid 10, 870 Php for the ticket to Bangkok and it seems clear that it will be all systems go for the Worlds Universities Debate Championship. Heck, I’m not even thinking about the pocket money! The registration covers all the meals, so if I want to be frugal about it, the 480 USD ... More About: Ticket , Tick

How To Do Your Own Floor Wax At Home
2007-09-07 20:00:00 If you’re a penny pincher, you’ve probably agonized about spending 5 pesos for a box of floor wax. If you have a bit more money to spare for the goal of lustrous floors, a few more pesos could help you afford the pricier liquid variants. Unfortunately, not all of us are rich and some just ...

I?m Going To The World Championships!
2007-09-07 13:27:00 I guess this more or less makes it official. Adrian just made the deposit to transfer our World s Universities Debate Champion ship registration fee to the organizers at Assumption University in Thailand. Unlike other schools that enjoy generous subsidies from their school administration and alumni organizations, UP Manila receives no monetary incentive. Despite this financial disadvantage, ...

Square Off Update: UP Manila Bows To Ateneo De Zamboanga
2007-09-06 07:08:00 It’s probably the most contentious round since the very first octofinal, but the adjudicators have spoken and they have decided to award it to the underdogs - Ateneo de Zamboanga. I personally feel that the discussions of UP Manila were more nuanced and based in principle, but oh well, people have their reasons. By being ... More About: Update , Bows , Nila
A Boy Is Dead
2007-09-05 20:53:00 This boy is now dead. A boy not even out of his teens has met his untimely and utterly premature demise. He. Is. Dead . Sometimes, the death of strangers often trigger the appearance of an echo chamber. We forget the finality of the death at the cessation of life. Cris Mendez’ time is now up. He has been ...
Utopian Chains
2007-09-04 17:05:00 Utopian Chains is the latest in the series of original compositions that I’ve co-wrote for my band, Implement Project. I’m very fortunate that I’m bandmates who are excellent in their instruments and it’s also great that I can write lyrics very quickly - almost simultaneous with their eureka moments while the riffs of a song ...

Pictures: Last Friday?s Set
2007-09-04 05:49:00 I was supposed to the WikiPilinas-sponsored at Roxas Boulevard, but this got in the way. Haha. Actually, I’ve always known about this pre-scheduled (from a month ago) set and I totally forgot about it on the week itself. Thanks to my classmate Julian Cañero for taking these kick ass photos from Friday At The ... More About: Pictures

2007-09-03 18:49:00 Purely on whim, I decided to host someone at a sub-domain at Atheista.net. Ederic has been helping me a lot with the logistics of the setup and hopefully, the sub-domain will be up soon. The lucky blogger is a recent convert from Blogspot to Wordpress and I think that played a lot into my ... More About: Hosting
Bloggers In Focus
2007-09-03 13:00:00 I am both grateful and relieved that people who appeared on the show had mastery of the English language (and the vernacular), the sense of clarity to crystallize and organize issues and the undeniable substantiation to be able to dispel any notion that the Philippine Blogging Community behaved like a lynch mob when the Malu ...

I Got Duped By Gibbs!
2007-08-31 18:12:00 Watch the author literally have the worst time of his life. Can you even see me in this picture? This must be Gibbs Cadiz and Karla Maquiling’s idea (of Pinoy Centric) of a joke. What started out as an invitation for one lazy afternoon at the theater rapidly evolved into an impromptu mini-workshop that nobody anticipated. ...
The Post-Mortem: Media In Focus
2007-08-30 09:00:00 I was interviewed with no less than the living legend of Philippine Investigative Journalism, Ms. Cheche Lazaro. Woah. Together with Josel (AKA the guy who’s been getting tens and thousands of hits since this issue exploded), I was interrogated first regarding the Malu Fernandez issue. There was a bit of a mix up - they thought I had direct links ... More About: Media , Post , Focus , Mort

The Game Plan For Tomorrow
2007-08-29 12:00:00 The Primer: Media In Focus is a show that deals WITH the media - on how is a story being reported — and less about what the story is to begin with. But this is a special case. The issue probably fell under this show’s criteria because the person at the center of this commotion ... More About: Game , The Game , Tomorrow , Plan , The Game Plan
Keeping It Real On The Malu Fernandez Issue
2007-08-27 07:03:00 Malu Fernandez exercised poor judgment, bad choice of words and horrible taste in choosing to poke fun and insult people who are taken in high regard in this country. Though it’s not exactly a no-no, if one is to criticize anything, the grounds have to be logical and rational. That is why discrimination on the ... More About: Real , Malu , Issue , Nand
Yet Another TV Appearance: And Oh, I Need Your Help!!!
2007-08-26 17:24:00 August has been one crazy month.

The Great NBN Adventure: Youth Voice (airs Saturdays at 8 PM!)
2007-08-22 20:37:00 This almost didn’t come to reality, but thanks to having luck on my side (and about 20% of the universe conspiring to make sure an exam got rescheduled), I was able to go to a debate show taping on NBN (that’s the channel formerly called PTV 4).

The Country?s Youngest Doctor Will Not Give You A Blood Transfusion
2007-08-19 17:55:00 Yup, that’s right. But no, he doesn’t do it because he wants to see people bleed to death- he’s simply practicing one of the tenets of his religion. He just celebrated his 23rd birthday - oh wait, he couldn’t, again, it’s disallowed in his religion — but Doctor Adrian Rabe of the UP College ... More About: Country , Blood , Give , Tran
The Duality Of Belief: The Simplified Version
2007-08-19 13:10:00 The great thing with spending considerable time with a group of outspoken and culturally-diverse people is that you’ll get a good pulse on why certain people believe certain things and others don’t. Of course, such conversations are limited to those who are also willing to listen to something that is not natural to his/her ... More About: Belief , Version , The D , Dual , Ality

More articles from this author:2007-08-18 18:31:00 Yes, NBN. You’re dead to me. Thanks in large part to Typhoon Sepat (Egay to those with a heightened sense of nationalism), my much-anticipated, much-talked-about (wahaha) August 20 NBN taping for some debate show on the nation’s most watched network is no longer feasible due to conflicts in schedule.
