Why Should Media Care About Ramgen Revilla Case ?

2011-11-10T19:07:00.000+08:00

Here is another media-hyped stories. A brother of a senator and a children of a lesser goddess seemed getting the posthumous fame thanks to media's circulation about his story and family affair. It is stupid to think that even his mother and grandmother would think that the culprits are innocents. But what is very interesting about this case is not the case itself. It is how the media

Sell Your Drama

2011-11-04T17:00:00.001+08:00

If there is one thing that will really excite people, that is how you portray your drama. I am reading a book about article writing and I come to this idea about "Selling Dramas". There are two types of writing. Writing about fiction and writing about nonfiction. Of course we always know what the difference among the two is. Now, for those who are not familiar. Nonfiction writing is all

The Power of Positive Thinking

2011-11-04T13:40:00.002+08:00

The Power of Positive thinking has always been a mystery. I believe this is the very power that God wields when He created the world. Because He saw all things that He has created is Good. That itself is a manifestation of positive thinking. Every thing that comes from Him is good.I believe positive thinking is a gift from God and that could make us do everything. Well, here are some of those

Enjoy Life And Live Long

2011-11-04T13:24:00.000+08:00

t might be an understatement if I would say that stress will give us shorter life. However, in truth, this is the reality. Exposing yourself to too much stress will give a shorter life to live. We could not get rid of stress in our life. Let's face it. But, sometimes it is not the situation itself that is the stressor. It is usually our reaction that makes us feel stressful.For those who are

Who is Dennis Ritchie?

2011-10-17T05:50:00.004+08:00

Nobody cared about Dennis Ritchie, the creator C language which most of the operating systems are based. Here is the man higher than Steve Jobs yet he was not able to get the same attention as Steve Jobs did. Dennis Richie was the precursor of the "Digital Era". Photo credits : Stargazete.com Software developers should miss the man. This is the man who made C possible and I know how C is

The Secret Of Making A Story

2011-10-13T09:28:00.001+08:00

I was just wondering why some people like Spiderman. Others like the flamboyant Ironman. Still other love the chic and stylish Bruce Wayne. Whoever they are, there is one thing that is common to them, they can connect to the readers. I stumble upon this blog about the secret of making Twilight. There is no special about the story of Twilight opined the blogger. One thing that makes

One Sultry Afternoon with Spanish Music

2011-10-07T09:57:00.000+08:00

While surfing the web for something, i stumbled upon potpourris of Spanish songs which include Volare, Enrique Iglesia's Heroe, Chayenne's Yo Te Amo and of course the immortal Besa Me with the version of Andrea Bocelli. Of course, intiendo poco. Yo estudio español en colegio. Yo gusta hablar en español. OK.. sort of just trying to prove that my Spanish is still intact and I can still speak

The Hippy and Death Lesson from Steve Jobs

2011-10-07T09:24:00.000+08:00

The Hippy and Death Lesson from Steve JobsLife is short and we need to do something. This was the message that Steve Jobs wants to propagate. Jobs has never been a good man. He was even labeled as a slave driver. He fired a lot of people and some people might be happy that he would not be lording anymore in the most innovative company called Apple.Yet, there is something that we have to learn

Troubled Mind, Expectations and all those things that Bothered Me

2010-10-24T06:57:00.003+08:00

Sometimes in your life you will be in a moment that you are almost at the downside of it. This is life. I really have to overcome the downside of it. I may not be doing the things that I have done but who cares... I did not live in this life to set someone's expectation...I have my own life to live... I have my own successes I had my own defeats. And there is no one to share the feeling but me

Intellectial Elitism!!

2010-10-09T23:24:00.001+08:00

The first statement was a bunch of elitis statement. That outside of UP Diliman is a jungle, a barbaric academe. This is one of the most notorious acclaimation by a professor. An insensitive remarks.Does that mean that if you came from UP Diliman you are the "Cream of the Crop"? Would that say that of all the UP System in the Philippines, Diliman is the best? Just that mean that you must be from

The Good Thing About Life

2010-09-06T05:29:00.004+08:00

I woke up early in the morning. I can still feel the freshness of the morning. It was still dawn and sunlight was still about to break. The Sky is still was still dark and the crescent moon was still visible. It was really a great day to start. The morning mist was still on the air and I could still smell the freshness of the morning dew.

There Is More To Life Than Cubicles and Computers

2010-03-10T08:39:00.002+08:00

Was there any time that I have enjoyed the sun? Was there any time that I enjoyed the sound of the traffic jam? Was there any time that I could feel the polluted breeze contaminated with radical? Was there any time that I could hear my breathing and count them during my regular stair climb?Yesterday was lot of problems but I just smiled them. At least, I still have a reason to live for another

And The Physicists Conclude There Is God

2010-01-31T20:48:00.004+08:00

I was just amazed as i read the last chapters of the "Physics of the Impossible", there is always a chance that the conclusion of the physicist about God is always there. Dr. Michio Kaku, who is a hard liner research, is the author of this Book. Yet, despite of this so called secular tradition on science and mathematical studies, his book could not simply ignore the existence of God.Although, he

Sinulog 2010: The Grandest So Far

2010-01-24T14:05:00.004+08:00

This time, I did not miss Sinulog 2010. It is so far the grandest. Imagine, 8 Million people watched the said event. But despite of the enormity of the number, the spectators were very cooperative when it comes to security. This is the reason why it has been a very successful event.So here is some of my footage of that Grand Event. This features the Tribu Sinanduloy, the Tribu Placer, Lumad

Rizal Subject: Irrelevant

2009-11-21T11:20:00.002+08:00

After so many years of studying Rizal, in elementary, high school, and even in college, one thing I have realized. Studying Rizal did not do us any better. It makes us go to a deeper state of masochism.why did I say that?All of Rizal's writings are reflection of the grotesque conditions during the Spanish Era. If we tried to keep on replaying those grotesque episodes, we might get to the point of

Time Travelling With Manny Pacquiao's Punch

2009-11-14T11:16:00.000+08:00

There was this concept of relative time which most physicist have been studying for quite a time. They say that time is relative as to how we perceive it and that someone who is traveling in speed of light would see the time in different perspective, like, everything else in normal consciousness will be perceived as rather slow. Time has been labeled as relative to one's consciousness.Whether

Why Don't You Keep Your Mouth Shut, Mr. De Quiros?

2009-11-12T21:13:00.002+08:00

I remember this phrase when King Juan Carlos I did it to the so-called Hugo Chavez. As the latter keeps on interrupting the speaker in the so-called Ibero-American forum, the King of Spain stood up, grab the phone, and loudly lambasted Hugo Chavez with the word, " Why don't you shut up?"If I were to borrow his highness words, I would want to say this to Mr. Conrado de Quiros, the so-called

I Do Not Care About Ondoy Victims

2009-10-03T10:11:00.002+08:00

Lately, I was watching a lot of video footage about the devastation of Tropical Storm Ondoy.I do not know but I think the Manila people deserves to have flood like that. Look at how the whole area become an industrial waste land. Such is the retaliation of nature.Well, the Manila people deserves the wrath of nature. And they deserved the damage that has brought to them.Good thing that I am in

The Ignorance of A Tagalog

2009-08-24T19:41:00.002+08:00

Language is the soul of the culture. It is through it that a culture will ultimately have its life. It is the in its very existence that a lively culture will find its ultimate existence. Such is true because as far as what we have seen it, Latin is a dead language as far as expert is concerned. So as the Latin culture. But what has been a remnant of Latin are the offshoot languages like

Manny Pacquiao's Success: The Road Not Taken

2009-08-23T08:40:00.004+08:00

Way back in high school, I learned this classic poem of Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken". Here goest the full line.Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted

Catalonia: The Inspiration of Cebuano Nationalism

2009-08-21T20:07:00.004+08:00

It is my firm belief that we, Cebuanos, have a sense of our own. We are very proud of our language which is the soul of our very own identity. For this reason, it is but important to take a look at our own identity and reveal through it who we really are.We really have to admit it. We could not consider ourself more as a Filipino. We take pride to become our own entity. This is due to the

EDSA: Mobocracy And Not Revolution

2009-08-04T07:28:00.004+08:00

If I were to rewrite the history of EDSA Revolution of 1986, I would rewrite it in such a way that I will let you show that there is no revolution at all. The said events leading to EDSA is just a matter of public excitation which has been provoked by the massive people. It is not a revolution, instead it is a mob.So here is the definition of Mobocracy or Ochlocracy:Ochlocracy (Greek: οχλοκρατία

Death of A President

2009-08-01T07:32:00.003+08:00

The Philippines will be in a state of mourning for the next 24 hours after its beloved leader, Corazon Aquino, died. She was battling her colon cancer. Just this morning, she succumbed to that painful battle.In this life where every mortal man is the captive, it is, but very hard to accept that death will always prevail on each one of us. We will die, sooner or later.Mrs. Aquino died a natural
