Year 2007 — it was all about the environment.
This year — 2008 — it’s time to talk about POVERTY.

Coming from an impoverished country of 90 million people, living with highly-talented, young and promising citizens, I urge you all, people of the web — the so-called “netizens” Read more

It’s about time we go out of our old and outdated 19th century practices.
It’s about time we take matters into our own hands.
This is our country’s future anyway.
This is our children’s future at stake here. Read more

It Strikes Again

***WARNING:***
Boring post ahead.
———————————-
My astrological sign is Aries.
Aries people — so I’ve read, usually suffer from diseases of the head. Psychological maybe? Maybe. Or of a more physical sort? Probably. Whatever it is. I am proof that horoscopes and character-typing, in the realm of the planets — has some truth in them.
I am having an annoying headache yet again — similar to what I’ve blogged about before, and before that. And well, yes, I am hoping this doesn’t mean I’d die soon, because, you know, dying a “bum” and unaccomplished isn’t exactly “sexy”. Well, I’ve written about dreading dying so soon. But, come on, who doesn’t, right? Unless you’re “emo” and borderline suicidal, that ain’t something you’d find comfortable talking about. Anyway, enough of that. Let’s get back to the headache. Just so you know, I am writing this as I’m suffering from this head-pounding, skull-cracking headache. Torture, I tell you. Read more

Ako’y Pinoy na Mayroong Sariling Wika
Filed Under Local News, News, Opinions, Sentiments | Leave a Comment
In observance of “Buwan ng Wika”, the following article was written entirely in Filipino and will take exception from my blog language policy.
<== Pindutin upang patugtugin ang "Ako'y Isang Pinoy"
Ikinalulungkot kong medyo huli na ang sanaysay na ito. Plinano kong isulat ito sa unang linggo ng Agosto ngunit sa dami ng mga pangyayaring dala ng BJE MOA, naisantabi ko ito at halos nawala na rin sa isip ko. Mabuti na lang at napaalala ito ng aking anak habang nag-eensayo kami para sa kanyang pagtula at pag-awit sa pampaaralang selebrasyon nila ng “Buwan ng Wika”.
Nakatutuwang isipin na malayo-layo na rin ang narating ng ating wika — simula ng magdeklara ng pambansang wika hanggang sa mga ipinatupad na pagbabago dito upang matugunan ang pangangailangan ng panahon. Ipinagmamalaki ko at ipinagbubunyi ang patuloy na pagiging “buhay” ng ating wika. Bagama’t laganap ang Ingles sa maraming babasahin, lalo na sa internet, marami pa rin akong napapansing aktibong gumagamit ng wikang Filipino. Maliban dito, ang pagiging “buhay” ng ating wika ay kapansin-pansin din sa patuloy na pagdagdag ng mga salita upang maiangkop ang ang ating wika sa kumbensyonal na Ingles. Ginagawa ito sapagkat maraming aklat at iba pang uri ng babasahin ang nakasulat sa Ingles at kailangan nating tugunan ito ng karapat-dapat at eksaktong pagsasalin sa Filipino. Sa ganitong paraan lamang natin masisiguro na hindi tayo malilimitahan pagdating sa pagpapalawig ng ating kaalaman. Read more
