At another’s expense
Around 25 years ago, the homeowners association of a small subdivision called Sto. Nino Village in Banilad, Cebu would sponsor a mass every Sunday. This mass was held at the Village clubhouse, and was attended by most of the Catholic residents of the village, as calling on God had become more convenient. Several priests were [...]

INTP - The “Engineer”
INTPs are logical, individualistic, reserved, and very curious individuals. They focus on ideas, theories and the explanation of how things work. They are especially adept at discussions and debate. They have the ability to focus intently on a subject. They appreciate and respect intelligence in others.
“INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to [...]
Listen to this lady and weep
Her name is Madonna Decena and she is singing for her kids.
The show is called Britain’s Got Talent (American Idol in one of its various incarnations). There’s over thirty videos of her performance on YouTube, but I found this one to load the fastest, probably because its one of the later ones, and there were [...]

Bayani Fernando is Gone!
At least in Pasay and Makati anyway.
The humongous tarpaulin banners featuring a half body shot on a pink background of MMDA Chairman and self-proclaimed presidentiable Bayani Fernando are now nowhere to be seen on the main thoroughfares of Pasay and Makati.
I have not ventured farther than Makati City this week, mainly because I’m a [...]

Charlton Heston, 84
I first knew him as Moses, then as Ben Hur and El Cid, and as Astronaut George Taylor in Planet of the Apes (the original one, not the one with Mark Whalberg, although he did play a cameo on that one didn’t he).
As a kid all I knew of him was that he [...]
