Pinoy Victim Mentality: One of the Philippines’ Greatest Obstacles

June 23, 2015June 23, 2015 Grimwald 85 Comments

Before I begin, let me tell you something my counselor and later boss told me. “There’s a big difference between a loser and a wuss, Grimwald. A loser might lose a lot but that implies that he keeps trying anyway. Sure, he loses a lot but sooner or later he’s going to win. A wuss…

Please Support ‘Kardong Kalabaw’ for the 2016 Presidential Election

June 12, 2015 Grimwald 20 Comments

Disclaimer: This is another of my parody articles. This is essentially a dedication to commenter Hyden007Toro and his carabao Kardong Kalabaw. While this is not true like all the other parody articles I’ve written, it’s one that I wish was true.

Zero points. That is what Filipino divers John Elmerson Fabriga and John David Pahoyo got after botched dives today during this year’s Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Singapore. Fabriga who went first landed on his back and Pahoyo, who followed, awkwardly landed feet first. Both seemingly failing to attain enough altitude in their launches off…
