Considering the tensions in Tehran, it is surprising to note that foreign media are unusually silent on the issue. They may report about it halfheartedly, but it seems like they are playing under the government’s strings. They seem to be downplaying the protests as minor. Fortunately for the Iranian people, the world has Twitter. Gone [...]

In what must be a bittersweet day for Pay Per View customers, Pacquiao knocks out Hatton during the second round of the anticipated Battle of East and West. The quick fight caused many a subscriber to gulp as they remember the money they invested for an anticipated exciting fight. Their wails, however, were drowned out [...]

Congratulations to the newlyweds Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. After years of being in a relationship with each other, the two have finally tied the knot on April 28, 2009. For such a high profile couple, the wedding was surprising in that the details were kept secret. Most of the 80 to 100 guests [...]

I’m not saying that all Jollibee salesladies are slow in the mind. In fact, I admire how many of them balance studies with work. It’s just that I’ve come to encounter one slow saleslady earlier today. At first I didn’t notice anything wrong with her. I ordered my recent favorite (Beefsteak 39er) and a new [...]

Q: Who watches the watchmen? A: ME!! –but not until next week–

A few days ago I went to the city branch of Jollibee in Iligan. Since I just came from the community, I went to the lavatory to have my hands washed. Unfortunately, there was no water. I went queuing with dirty hands, and decided to order something that didn’t involve finger foods like french fries. [...]
