Filipinos: Time to become the Big Bad Wolf!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Time and again, this view is validated — that it is the people who beg to differ to your views that inspire far more epiphanies than people who agree with you (that said, I am still eternally appreciative of the small handful of people who actually like me).

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Rom’s article, “Must We?” summarizes the many opinions exchanged over the past week on the matter of “resistance,” where MLQ3 happened to quote a blog entry of mine entitled, “Resistance, Now.” Allow me to participate in this virtual round-table.
