Ordinary politics talk is depressing, but nothing beats depression from talking about Philippine politics. Most of the time, such talk will be about what ifs and what should have beens. If only Marcos hadn’t become corrupt. If only we sent our children to the United States thirty years ago, then we should have been as [...]
In my wanderings of the blogsphere I came across a blog that criticized the Toronto Star, the most read newspaper in Canada, for downplaying the role of Islam in the ritual murder of Aqsa Parvez, a Muslim girl killed by her father for dishonoring their family. A link in the site led me to Muslims [...]
I did something different this Christmas. Instead of sending out Christmas text greetings to the people listed in my phonebook, I only let the messages I received to pile up in my phonebook. I did, however, text my replies to those who sent their greetings. This not only allowed me to save on Christmas spending, [...]
Some shows are best left to memory, and one such show would be The Princess and the Goblin. The film was released on 1993, and I used to love it. It was based on a book written by George Macdonald. It had a haunting theme song that was beautiful in a nostalgic way. A decade [...]
I’m now a godfather. It’s my first time so I must say I am still jittery about it. I’m asking questions like what gift should I buy for a boy below a year old, and what else should I do besides give gifts at Christmas and his birthday. I guess everything will just be sorted [...]
Asay pink diri. Asa ang green? Which one’s pink here, he said. Which one’s green? Colorblind, o! You colorblind or something, I said as a joke to a good friend. Colorblind na siya. He’s colorblind, someone else replied. Oh, I said silently.
NMAT’s over. And no, I won’t be writing any more emo posts. I would also not post any questions from the exam per contract between the Center for Education Management and the examinee (Ahem). They, however, have nothing against saying what the test was like. IMO, Part I should have been scheduled to be finished [...]
So it’s judgment day tomorrow. I’ll be taking the NMAT in Cagayan de Oro City, which is about an hour and thirty minutes from my home. It’ll start in about 8am, and I’ll have to be there a few hours before the exam. Thus I must cease blogging and go to sleep.
I’m having exam jitters. The National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) will be held this Sunday. I can’t say I’m not prepared. I have high hopes that I’ll be above average, but I’m not sure if I get to belong to the coveted highest percentile. It’s not that I want to prove myself. I don’t need [...]
It was awesome. Strong winds swayed the trees and other vegetation outside the house. Rain suddenly appeared and made them dance harder. A fine mist gathered, casting the noontime into an unnatural twilight. To top it off, other witnesses reported seeing a circular wall of wind, bringing with it rain. Meteorological terms define it as [...]
