Sandata: The Light EP
2009-09-14 21:20:00 I first encountered the band Sandata through the social networking site Couchsurfing where their frontman Aldrich Policarpio was also a member. Their music was right up my alley – it was reminiscent of the old school hard rock that was prevalent during the early to mid 90s. The songs had an anthemic quality that hints ... More About: Light

Marlboro Country, Sagada ? The Best Views In Sagada
2009-09-01 16:49:00 I first heard about Marlboro Country , Sagada while watching one of Howie Severino’s documentaries on I-Witness. I have already been to Mountain Province four times when the episode aired so I was very surprised that no one has ever told me about the wild horses. The story ends somewhat sad for these once proud steeds. There ... More About: Views
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo?s Legacy: The Good That She Has Done
2009-08-30 16:19:00 While many people would not even bat an eyelash in naming Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the worst president the Philippines have ever had; it would be a bit myopic to suggest that her term didn’t usher in developments that helped the country greatly. Now that I think about it, most people really appreciate the Marcos Era ... More About: Good , Legacy , The Good , Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

One Of My First Atheism Articles: The Heretic Speaks
2009-08-23 19:24:00 I was geniunely surprised – and mortified — when Peyups suddenly posted my 5 year old article on atheism I called The Heretic Speaks. This article was probably seen as really mediocre that the older editors condemned it to the bottom of the bin. It was really shocking to see it published on the front ...

Palawan?s Underground River As One Of The Seven Wonders Of Nature?
2009-08-14 11:11:00 I’ve really found it hard to stomach the idea that mere humans who have been only around for a couple of million years – or a few thousand years if you’re a creationist *snicker* — would have the gall to rank geographical features of the Earth that have been progressively evolving and changing through more ...

The Alive 2007 Album Is Finally Here
2009-07-09 18:20:00 …and it’s finally here. It was simply a surreal stretch of weeks leading up to the Alive concerts of 2007, there was barely any media hype about the event.

Nine Inch Nails ? August 5, 2009 Araneta Coliseum
2009-06-29 09:29:00 The thought of having Trent Reznor here in the Philippines is a bit surreal.
