On security in Manila vs security in the USA
This is your typical building entrance in Manila. We feel free to go on with our business without any fear whatsoever of possibly getting killed from a crazed mass murderer. Nobody cowers in fear over seeing a guard with a shotgun, or a holstered pistol. Deadly violence within an established building is so rare that these guards are mostly used for ( Read more... ) -
Brexit, Duterte and Trump
Right after Brexit, hundreds of incidents of racial abuse and hate crime were reported in the United Kingdom.
After Duterte's coming to power, We are now getting reports of Judge Dredd style executions by vigilantes around the Philippines.
The leadership of a country is the banner to which its people unite under. The people who successfully install ( Read more... ) -

Chinese Invasion Dream
I was at a random coffee shop somewhere in Manila. It was around 6pm and the sun was going down. Christine was almost done with her coffee when she asked me what that was in the sky. I looked up and saw a Red and White Mig dancing around a passenger airliner, the Mig was Chinese. The fighter plane flew circles around the slow and lumbering Boeing, ( Read more... ) -
Guns N' Metallica
My officemate was falling asleep on the jeep this morning while listening to Coheed and Cambria. He reached this part:
"...You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played martyr..."
POP!
He woke up, looked around, and then heard another POP!!! He looked left and there, two meters away, was a man in a short sleeved light maroon polo pointing a gun ( Read more... ) -
Pinoy traits we must get rid of
We've got a lot of things to be proud of, we Pinoys. We're hospitable, we speak English, we smell good, we get along easily with other cultures, etc. We've got our faults though, traits that we as a society have identified (yet don't do anything about) like Crab Mentality and Corruption.

An even LATER reaction
AMERICAN CONQUEST! It can handle over 16,000 men in one game, if you even build up to that point. The multiplayer is awesome! It's so realistic that you need a 60 minute grace period to just to build up your economy and army before duking it out with your buddies. Damn this game is good! I'm okay with this, since my computer CANNOT handle Empire: ( Read more... ) -

Overload
I've been reading up on random historical facts everyday for the past week and I think It's starting to take its toll. Phrases randomly pop up in my head like "Contrary to popular belief, what actually happened was..." or "The cause his downfall could be explained by his inability to properly...". While on the bus, I saw the exit to Alabang from ( Read more... )
