In not-so-breaking news, a has-been (never-was?) “actor” — and I use the term loosely here — has finally confirmed joining the May 2007 fray. This time, it’s former matinee-idol Richard Gomez, whose political aspirations have never been a secret, but whose credentials are not so evident. If he even has any; that’d have to be [...]
Why should they be afraid to come out?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
~Psalms, 23:4
“Why should they be afraid to come out?”
So asks military chief, Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr., when asked about the safety of witnesses — not that there [...]
L5R fanart: Kakita Eiya
Daigotsu Eiya is a fallen Crane duelist with awesome stats and even better abilities. This is a quick concept of what I think he used to look like. Pose inspired by the Samurai X manga, the battou-jutsu, which is similar to the L5R mechanic of Iaijutsu.
L5R fanart: Legendary Confrontation
Mirumoto Chojiro is one of my most favored personalities in the L5R collectible card game: decent stats, killer duel ability, good traits, and cheap. His ability to more easily fetch you the card Legendary Confrontation is what makes him superb in honor-runners, hence the name for this piece of artwork.
Impromptu gig @ Weslu’s last day
I was a send off that would make Weslu happy, I think. It was our way of saying goodbye through the medium we knew him best: music. No FMD pics, though we played. None of our friends had a camera, and I ran out of film (I only brought one roll of 24) halfway through [...]
Election 2007 Questions
The important thing is not to stop questioning. ~ Albert Einstein
Mong Palatino posed several questions regarding the upcoming elections, questions that we should be asking, as well. He pretty much covered most of it, so I’ll just add a few that come to mind at this moment:
How many times will we see candidates hop to [...]
Clueless
Taking a page from Counilor Peter Lavina’s jokebook, I did one of my own: after all, Raul Gonzales IS as clueless as they come. I wonder if it’ll be worth doing extensive SEO over :D
Where’s the Justice, Secretary?
A just city should favour justice and the just, hate tyranny and injustice, and give them both their just desserts. ~ al-Farabi, The Dictionary of Islam vol. IV
“Justice” Secretary Raul Gonzales has long been one of my personal pet peeves – even back when he was still an Iloilo Congressman trying to evict UP from [...]
What does the scroll-lock key do?
I’ve been wondering about this for the longest time – and I’ve been using a PC in some way, shape or form since 1990 (mostly playing games, I’ll admit). Apparently, the Scroll Lock key is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior [...]
Political apathy, and here’s one reason for it
Apathy is a tyrant’s best friend. ~ Unknown
Former senators Vicente Sotto III and Tessie Aquino-Oreta have jumped ship from Senator Eduardo Angara’s predominantly anti-administration party, the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP), to the predominantly pro-administration Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), headed by businessman Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco.
You will recall (hopefully) Ms. Aquino-Oreta’s antics during Erap’s impeachment trial, [...]
