Evil Woobie

The reason why I didn’t opt to study college in another city is a romantic one: I didn’t want to miss the sunsets that I heard so much about when I was younger and living in another province. With or without someone with me, I used to hang out at hotel rooftops and pool decks, [...]

Is a child missing from your neighborhood? Did he play outside and just went missing?
It’s not an isolated case of abductions, but a series. Reports from relatives and friends all over Luzon, Philippines tell us that kids playing outdoors, or just coming out from school are getting kidnapped apparently by hooded men in vans. (update, [...]

It’s smooching time once again here in the Philippines, with the Lovapalooza 2008. I am a bit miffed, though, that this event isn’t as big as last year.

Anyway, the Lovapalooza is a tradition in the Philippines that was started in 2004. It is a bid to claim the Guinness World Record for Most [...]

Here’s another blessing brought to me by the traffic-driving tidal wave that is Entrecard (if you’re new here, please view my Entrecard posts).
I am talking about this blog that I discovered, Everything Everywhere Travel Blog, which is basically the memoirs of a traveler who left his home to live the life of a world wanderer.

The gadget cycle of life: invention - innovation - imitation.
The iPhone has reached its final stage of life. It has now been (successfully?) cloned, or should I say, imitated. These are some photos I found at Spluch and Migs.

At Christmas 2007, these fake iPhones are now flooding the Philippine market, and the public is gobbling [...]

I was honestly freaked out at the number of people who reached my site due to my short article on Amazing Race Asia 2’s Philippine bets. Each and everyone of the google/yahoo searches had “Marc Nelson” as the main keyword.What’s up with this guy? He’s just one of the hottest male models and hosts in [...]

After 15 years of curfew-less existence, someone dared slap a curfew on me… the Philippine government. The news spread to establishments and offices through radio. No one was supposed to be seen loitering from 12 midnight to 5 am of the next day. It was a scary 8 o’clock PM when establishments started closing [...]

Breaking news at Inquirer.net tells us that today is a day that Filipinos will witness the makings of another coup d’etat and have to bear with all the hassle that follows this. This time the coup attempt is triggered by the decision on PGMA’s ouster.
Is it just me or are coup d’etat events [...]

The few-months-old Valkyrie Server is Philippine Ragnarok Online’s bid for game resurrection. It’s free to play so people are attracted. Here’s my article about Valkyrie. But the server was opened without assurance that the bugs will be fixed and an automated control of bot-infestation will be implemented. Hence, the war against bots rages on in [...]
