There are all sorts of laws/theories from all these classes I'm taking; from the classic Marxism to the contemporary Moore's Law.
     **Moore's Law states that every 18 months, the price of a microchip drops and its capacity doubles.

I don't really know why but I just have this fascination for theories.
That is why, I've decided to create a theory of ( Read more... )

In poker, you don't always get the best cards.
In fact, most of the time you get bad ones.
You take a second and decide to go with it. You bet --- raise, even.
The first three cards are dealt, a.k.a. the flop, is shown.
The chances aren't so good. Odds are against you. Thoughts of folding arise.
You think it through and say what the heck. You call.

Just a little while ago, while watching the UAAP (Ateneo vs NU Round 2), I heard something interesting.
I think it was TJ Manotoc who talked about his brief chat with Ateneo's captains (Tiu, Escueta, Baclao) right before the game.

TJ Manotoc: So what do you plan to do with this no-bearing game?

Yes. Survival of the fittest, wherein the fittest are the most knowledgeable ones.
But how do you ( Read more... )

Just a little while ago, someone advised me to switch to another team.

Why?

Because lately, we've been getting such bad publicity.
Everyone has been targeting us for our so called bad disposition towards others and towards the game.
Let's just say, I don't completely disagree with their accusations.
Yes, we've been wrong a couple of times. Sorry. We're ( Read more... )

Oscar Wilde once said,
"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

To Wilde, acquiring fame in whichever way is infinitely better than not having it.
Makes sense, doesn't it?

Lately, there has been too much buzz on Miss Janina San Miguel.
Aren't you getting tired of it?

Recently, I've been reaching my goals;
And I'd like to think, I did it the old fashioned way.
1. Set a Goal.
2. Work.
3. Achieve.

Step one is easy. Step two is tricky. Step three is dessert.

Everyone can set a goal but not everyone can deliver.
Obviously, I haven't been delivering. I've been lazy and full of excuses.

Eventually, my failure caused me to ( Read more... )
