Hop on the bus, Gus…
People who regularly commute by bus in Metro Manila like myself have encountered these individuals a few times while enroute. The ubiquitous peanut vendor, the junkfood/chicharon/bottled water vendor. There’s the young girl who gives you a slip of paper that tells you her name and how she’s sending herself to school by selling sweets at [...]
Urbanidad and the Marauders of Bayani Fernando
Some readers of this blog may well wonder about my unabashed hatred for the man named Bayani Fernando. Hatred may not even be the precise word that describes the knit of my eyebrows and the rise of my blood pressure whenever I hear anything about the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and its reigning despot.
First [...]
Urbanidad
*This poem is written in Tagalog, the language of the man on the street in Manila. If you are looking for the connection between “Urbanidad” and the man Bayani Fernando commonly known as “BF” click here.

Of course huwag nating kalimutan si Reyna Ester at Samson ni Delilah. Kung pupunta kayo sa website ng gumagawa ng mga relihiyosong action figures [...]

Mommy at the office
This is me at my table at the office. The Samsung dual flat screens arrived last week, and the tower is an Intel Duo Core, 1.49GB RAM with a 150GB hard disk drive. I think the only sad thing about it is it runs on Windoze.
I had long been dropping hints about the flat screens [...]
Amando F. Kapauan, Ph.D.
Quite a few search results for the name “Armando Kapauan” have led people to this blog, but they did not find the information they were looking for.
That is because his name is not Armando, but Amando. Amando Fajardo Kapauan, Ph.D. He was the second son of Amando Kapauan Sr. who passed away in his [...]
Limewire for Ubuntu!
One of the wonderful things I discovered this weekend in this life as a computer slave is Limewire for Ubuntu. Apparently this has been out since May of this year according to the Limewire Blog. Until today I had been downloading music files through KTorrent, which was fine, but when I wanted only a selection [...]
