From a technophile’s point of view, I am expecting voters to face numerous and varied obstacles from machines malfunctioning, long winding queues at precincts and even violence in some areas.

Some call him the revolutionary "Che Guevarra" of Dumaguete, some call him "Bob Marley" because of his dreadlocks, and some call him "The Lost Commando" because of his full battle gear outfit. If you want to catch him and get his autograph, you can see him at the boulevard at 6am, then he moves on towards the gates near the flag pole of Silliman Hall then on to the flag pole at the Freedom Park

Last Thursday night, Joel treated out the team for dinner(thanks Joel!). With us were Victor, Jan Mark and Jerol(a new member of the team).

How Clean is the 2007 Philippine Elections?

2007-05-14T10:04:00.000+08:00

For some reason I woke up very early today, went straight to my computer and logged on the net. Since it is Sunday today, I thought I'd listen to Christian music so I downloaded some songs and played them. While listening, I visited YouTube and checked my subscriptions.
