Metro Manila is huge! Last Wednesday, I spent the better part of the day touring the Mall of Asia. To say it was huge is an understatement. It was humongous. It was gargantuan. It was immense. Yet the Mall of Asia for all its size is but a small dot, a speck so to speak, [...]
Since my responsible, dear little sister slept on her watch; I am forced to while away the night in the part of Pasay City bordering Makati City. So my taxi fare was basically gone to waste*. I also had to look for a place to while away the night. Thus I began my search for [...]
The typical image that comes to my mind when I imagine a Manila driver and his conductor is a 2-headed-vampire. Beware this vile creature for it also possesses powers that could surpass its Transylvanian counterpart. It can bend the laws of physics. Give it a jeep of any size and it can squeeze in humans [...]
After months of hiatus, I am back blogging. The past months were quite turbulent. I may or may not be blogging about them sometime in the future. Suffice it to say that those probable posts would involve 3 dead dogs, rabies, vaccines, depression, and then redemption. In the meantime, I am happy to announce that [...]

Classes are suspended in all levels for public and private schools tomorrow. Regular working day for government employees… I’ve just confirmed that this message is true. No [...]
This is a word of advice to the President of the Philippines. Madam, If you want to reclaim the support of Mindanao residents, please wipe out the MILF rebels. Declare their group as a terrorist organization, and refuse dialog with them. The people here are talking of the “good old days of Erap” when he [...]
The government has recognized the Muslim rebel attack against residents in Lanao del Norte. The President herself has sanctioned the military and police forces to “defend every inch of Philippine territory against MILF forces and immediately restore peace in the affected areas in Lanao del Norte”. Yet sadly, the MILF has already done much damage [...]
