i actually got my period early from drinking too much recently.

on the one hand it’s good, because it means i won’t have it for the duration of my stay in boracay; on the other it means… i got my period early from drinking too much recently. i think it’s a sign.

Oh the things I would do with this music playing in the background. LUHV LANA.

totes leeching off someone’s internet right now.

i realise karmic retribution will bite me in the ass in the future, but it’s too good to pass up.

g:	I'm getting a flashback to the time you couldn't think of the word for "girlfriend" and described it as "one those people that you date a lot."

One of my favourite scenes in a film just because, and also, for someone who dabbles in writing, this scene is a great example of how to use witty wordplay, and how to utilise space and proximity cleverly, to craft sexual tension without saying or doing anything explicit.

(Okay, so, I may or may not have spent last Saturday night re-watching Becoming Jane while I ate mac-and-cheese with a strawberry shake.)

A different perspective on the Edsa Revolution of 1986 entitled “What the Philippine Media isn’t telling us”

Please add to the dialogue.

Let me share my initial reaction on this post, a facepalm. Tho I enjoy the Call of Duty aesthetics, a shitty revisionism is still shitty. Agoncillo had more imagination and wit in his works by raping our impression on our Colonial period.This? Meh.

One has to remember Marcos was one of the many dictators installed and supported by the US government during the height of the Cold War. At least the part where it tells us that Martial Law was a reaction to the Red Scare is quite accurate, except for the part that it is benign. To even suggest such a thing is to accept Hussein’s Iraq or Pinochet’s Chile as ideally good and humane States.

The $2 = P1 economy too was not a result of Marcos’ economic savvy. He was just in a very promising world scene with regards to trade. The U.S. Library of Congress has an overview on this period.

And, uh, about the humanity of his regime, coughs, please do read this research. Unless of course one thinks being a ‘Commie’ (whatever that means) or suspected as such makes you an okay candidate for water-boarding, then yeah, do live in that world and I’ll stay in this world where Civil power are guaranteed  trumps Martial ones.

Anyhow the video is rife with out of context figures but I’ll end this reaction by pointing to three things. First, the whodunit part and the conspiracy of the media to distract the public imagination and blaming the Marcos regime. Apparently, the video works on the logic that if a person does not order your death on the first time, then that same person can never think or wish of killing you in any possible future. Plus, it also works on the logic that people deemed smart can never experience the blindside of circumstances. Second, the rather amusing assumption that Ninoy had confidence towards Marcos and his two decade social experiment, and third, that the whole of Manila has no idea what the heck they are doing in the middle of EDSA.

Well, firstly the media have not ‘hidden’ it or ‘kept silent investigating it further’ as seen here and here, to flatly tell me that is to suggest that probably you have no TV set or a library card. Second, uh, coughs. Third, what? Seriously? I know Filipinos are mostly usi, but standing there for three days without knowing an inkling of what is happening is accusing a whole generation of having a learning curve of a retarded bunny.

Anyhow, yeah, little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Jesus. This response needed to be reblogged more times than the utter shit of that video. One thing I will add is that EDSA was non-violent because like in all successful revolutions the military defected and refused to fire on the protesters. I don’t doubt people attach a certain romanticism to EDSA and the criticism of how the promise of EDSA wasn’t realised is a valid one, but this video isn’t history — it’s a conspiracy theory.

This lecture by Sir Ken Robinson on education paradigms never gets old for me.
