I didn’t make it inside the Monument. It turns out that it doesn’t matter if you have the whole day to yourself; you need to reserve your place for the day by getting tickets, and today’s tickets ran out at 9.20 this morning. Oh well, I managed to get a few pictures, at least, and […]
So, are you TR (Thoroughly Reformed) or BR (Barely Reformed)? You know you’re a TR if… You first quote the Confession and then say, “Oh yeah, the Bible says this somewhere too.” You refuse to vote for Jesus as time magazine’s “Person of the Year” because you don’t want an image of Christ on the […]
If you enjoy Pong, and if you enjoy classic text-adventure games for PC, why not play some Text-Based Pong? Or you could read 183 Ways to Annoy People. (Don’t ask me why the title says 179.)
Bending at the Knees As of last December, and perhaps even as late as January `02, I did not know that I would be in the US by now. Oh, I was filling out application forms and gathering the requirements for graduate school, but the whole plan to apply and enroll for Fall 2002 had […]

Speaking of comics, I think Lobster Man here may have read too many comics. (Both links via Jim.)
I forgot to post the number for you Parañaque dwellers out there to call in case you’re victimized by the Sucat Towing Syndicate: call 826 1603 or 826 8244, and ask for Mr. Abad. Often this won’t stop the tow truck drivers from impounding your vehicle, but it might deter them if you show that […]
I had to go to Makati today, and instead of taking my usual route — jeep to South Expressway, then bus to Ayala — I opted for a more adventurous alternative: a jeep to Baclaran LRT, then the MRT at Edsa to Ayala Station. It’s a route I rarely take, except when I have time […]
From this Pinoyexchange thread… Allow me to weigh in on the controversy of Eli Soriano’s foul religious mouth. (Those of you not in the know about Pinoy cultism, Eli Soriano is a local TV preacher, leader of “Ang Dating Daan,” and notorious for using harsh insults — and even profanities — on the air when […]
