Day 1: wi-tribe 4G Internet

Day 1: wi-tribe 4G Internet
As a belated happy birthday gift to myself, I bought myself a wi-tribe 4g modem. I could've bought myself a toy or a book (priorities of a 28 year old), but since I work and play on the Internet, I thought the heck with it, right? Plus, they've announced that they're increasing the speeds across the board - PHP 998 for 2mbps, yeah! - and that new subscribers between November 2 to December 2 are exempt from the subscription lock-in period. Well, Saturday afternoon I went to the wi-tribe store at Santana Grove. I applied for the 998 plan and brought only an ID and a proof of billing (credit...

So you think you can write?
Do you have notebooks (word documents, sketchpads, notepads) filled with stories, escapist escapades to other worlds and other realities? Well, I’m looking at you, Bub.

Under the Storm: 150 poets, 150 pieces of contemporary poetry

Under the Storm: 150 poets, 150 pieces of contemporary poetry
Jim Morrison said it best, “Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you.” I’ll admit it on the outset – I can’t write poetry. Good thing the inability to write poetry (or at least poetry that doesn’t evoke peals of sidesplitting laughter) doesn’t dampen my ability to appreciate a good poem. .MOV International Film, Music, & Literature Festival has teamed up with The Antithesis Collective Publishing Co. to produce an anthology of epic proportions. The collection is aptly entitled...

Update: La Corda D’oro Chapter 75 out!

Update: La Corda D’oro Chapter 75 out! UPDATE: Scanlations of Kiniro no Corda Chapter 75 are out! :D In chapter 74 of La Corda D'oro, we saw Hino get pretty emotional, and Tsukimori saying some pretty mean albeit honest stuff. If you read that chapter, then I bet you're pretty stoked about the next one, chapter 75. Fortunately for...

La Corda D’oro Chapter 74 is out!

La Corda D’oro Chapter 74 is out! We've been waiting for this for a couple of weeks now, so I'm really excited to see La Corda D'oro Chapter 74, mostly because Tsukimori's in this chapter. It seems like he's in the country with the other musicians making up their quartet. Just, wow. There aren't any scanlations up yet, but our usual...

To Which Devices Have You Descended?

To Which Devices Have You Descended? I made a mistake once that I will never forget. Not only did I end up with the wrong person, I BECAME someone I never thought I’d become – insular, self-centered and, worst of all, initially blind to these flaws. No need to bother you with too many of the gory details (this is not a tabloid...

Natanga lang – The Memory Gap Special

Natanga lang – The Memory Gap Special So much of the stories you could get from a failed 4-year relationship are ugly, a little twisted and ultimately, sad. But sob stories are a dime a dozen nowadays, which is why once in a while it’s nice to have a break from all the drama and tell a nice story - albeit, culled from said failed relationship. In...

The Antithesis Collective: Opening Its Doors

The Antithesis Collective: Opening Its Doors I hate it when people ask what I do for a living. Sometimes, I am tempted to answer “Chief Cook and Dishwasher” or “Senior Utusan” or just plain “Peon/Pisante” because those occupations are far easier to explain compared to Writer. When I say I am a writer, the follow up questions are “Where...
