All in all you’re just another brick in the wall, waiting on the world to change

The title applies to you, as a Pinoy, if you swallow hook, line, and sinker, everything that you are told by media, your elders, and your politicians. You submit to the matrix that is Da Pinoy condition. You submit yourself without question to the collective “bliss” of the Hive. You hope that the world will…

The other day I came across what I thought was a pretty poignant tweet coming from one of the humour Tweetizens I follow. It went something like this: Our boys in helmets who fight our battles halfway around the world should be paid more than the boys in helmets who pass around a ball in…

December 11, 2012 benign0 81 Comments

I mean, really, does one need to even make a press release about something one did not do?

Emotional and pikon Pinoys highlighted on social media after Manny’s loss

December 10, 2012July 29, 2013 FallenAngel 51 Comments

If you’re a Filipino, ask yourself this: are you one of those who go around saying that you’re proud to be Pinoy because of Pacquiao? Are you still going to be proud of Manny even if he loses? Even before the results of that most recent fight against Juan Manuel Marquez got out, we already…

Are Filipinos ready to face Typhoon Pablo (international code name ‘Bopha’)?

December 3, 2012 benign0 22 Comments

Are the increasingly devastating effects of storms and rising oceans really the ‘environmental issue’ everybody thinks they are? Perhaps the term environmental issue is a misnomer. There is an issue to do with climate change and its effects, alright — but they are all human issues. After all, how serious is the impact of climate…
