One would think I write this post for the sole purpose of SEO (search engine optimization), specially that their much-awaited reunion concert last night, August 30 was cut short when frontman Ely had an emotional breakdown and was rushed to the hospital after performing only 15 out of the planned 30 songs. But no, I did not write this for SEO. People who don't know me and even the ones close to me have no idea how such an E-heads fan I am. And I couldn't really blame them. The Eraserheads came at a "serious" time in my life -- high school. Okay, that's self-imposed "seriousness" for sure. And people who knew me then wouldn't think I digged the music of The Eraserheads (and that is if they even thought I listened to music at all). The normally-most-enjoyable-time in a person's life was ironically the most serious period of my life. Continue reading →

I find it inexplicable why the BJE MOA on AD is being considered at odds with our constitution, hence this TRO and oral arguments, when a member of the MILF peace panel, MOHD. MUSIB M. BUAT in his article "A new formula in resolving the Mindanao conflict—Mohd. Musib M. Buat" at the abs-cbnNEWS.com website, said:

"But subsequently in February 2008, information was received by the MILF Peace Panel through the Malaysian facilitator that the GRP had decided to have the draft MOA-AD first reviewed by a panel of legal experts to ascertain whether or not the draft agreement would meet a constitutional test if challenged before the High Court. It took the government more that 100 days to conduct the "due diligence review" of the draft MOA-AD."  Continue reading →

Year 2007 -- it was all about the environment.

This year -- 2008 -- it's time to talk about POVERTY.

Today's article at abs-cbnNEWS.com "From Brink of Peace to Brink of War" by Atty. Soliman M. Santos, Jr. brings to mind my long-held stand on the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (BJE MOA on AD). Continue reading →

It's about time we go out of our old and outdated 19th century practices.
It's about time we take matters into our own hands.
This is our country's future anyway.
This is our children's future at stake here.

And because we are "Free To Decide."

***WARNING:***
Boring post ahead.
----------------------------------

My astrological sign is Aries.

Aries people -- so I've read, usually suffer from diseases of the head. Psychological maybe? Maybe. Or of a more physical sort? Probably. Whatever it is. I am proof that horoscopes and character-typing, in the realm of the planets -- has some truth in them.

I am having an annoying headache yet again -- similar to what I've blogged about before, and before that. And well, yes, I am hoping this doesn't mean I'd die soon, because, you know, dying a "bum" and unaccomplished isn't exactly "sexy". Well, I've written about dreading dying so soon. But, come on, who doesn't, right? Unless you're "emo" and borderline suicidal, that ain't something you'd find comfortable talking about. Anyway, enough of that. Let's get back to the headache. Just so you know, I am writing this as I'm suffering from this head-pounding, skull-cracking headache. Torture, I tell you. Continue reading →
