Facing Reality Is The First Step To Progress

Facing Reality Is The First Step To Progress

I have never really been a big fan of boxing and, while I support Pacquiao during his fights, I’m not really all that crazy about him. After all, it’s supposed to be a game. Victory or defeat is never certain and it can only be decided once the fight is over. Anyway, while I might not…

The 1986 EDSA people power ‘revolution’ has irreparably damaged the Philippines

Back in the heady days leading up to the 1986 EDSA “people power” “revolution”, the top slogan of supporters of then incumbent Philippine president Ferdinand E. Marcos was, what else, “Marcos pa rin!” (roughly translated: “Still Marcos!”). Fast forward to today and, guess what, the incumbent’s slogan that “trended” in recent days (presumably to counter…

The Delusion Of Idealism

Once upon a time, there was a Prince who loved a Princess but their royal parents didn’t want them for one another and tried to keep them separate. However, against all odds, the Prince and the Princess got together anyway and eventually have a daughter together. The Prince and the Princess were originally intended to be…

#50ShadesOfGrey is actually a love story!

#50ShadesOfGrey is actually a love story!

I caved and watched Fifty Shades of Grey last weekend. Weeks of derisive “reviews” equipped me with low expectations when I entered the theater. Well, for that matter, low expectations are good things to carry with you into any movie! It’s the best way to get the most out of the pesos you shell out…

So who wants to change?

Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon, . . . Ahm. . . . . Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon, na kunyari, papipiliin ka kung saang panahon mo gustong umusbong. Kailan ang pipiliin mo? Pakiramdam mo ba, sa tamang panahon ka naisilang? Mas pipiliin mo bang, sana sa nakaraan ka na lamang nabuhay, nang sa ganon, sana…

False Dichotomies: Black And White Stupidity

False Dichotomies: Black And White Stupidity

When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of the Transformers and the G.I. Joe cartoons. I would sometimes try to go home a little earlier than usual just to see Optimus Prime and Megatron slugging it out in space or see Snake Eyes trying to stop Metalhead from blowing up another considerable amount of public property….

Mensahe Bago Mag-Araw Ng Mga Puso

Pebrero na naman at marami na namang nagsasabi na “nasa hangin ang amoy ng pag-ibig”. Kaya nga lang, wala akong ibang naamoy kundi ang nasusunog na gulong sa bakuran ng aking kapit-bahay at ang alimuyak ng barbecue na naggagaling sa aking kusina. Maari niyong sabihin na isa akong nag-iisa at inggitin na kumag, pero hindi…

Why Hating Binay And Loving Noynoy Makes No Sense

Why Hating Binay And Loving Noynoy Makes No Sense

  For those of you old enough to remember former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle he was made out by the mostly left leaning US media as their version of Erap. Dennis Miller went as far as suggesting that then President George H. Bush should have no fear of assassination since his allegedly incompetent VP…
