Awkward

Dental Care
You ever have that awkward moment when someone adds you on Facebook (or any social network) and says, "Hey dude!  Howa been?" and you have no idea who they are?  Well maybe a little idea but enough idea to pull strings of memory gazillion years ago.  I think it would be awkward-er if that happened on person!  I'm sure I'd pull of some ridiculous smile as my eyes go up and down  trying to figure out who in the world you are dude.  It was awkward-less doing on chat though but still the awkward-feel was still in the room.  I need to try to reply something quick or just make an excuse by clicking "unavailable to chat" and post a status I can't receive chat messages - but that would be lying.

Finally I gave a guessing question like, "you're from [insert high school] right?"  I knew I was wrong but I think that's the only way to know who  the dude is in a less awkward manner.  Finally he reveals his identity and  though I only have a vague memory of him but that was enough to blast the awkward feel into smithereens!  He said that I'm becoming forgetful, I say it's because I've been to many places and have known quite a lot of people - I probably lied but I'll stick to my story.  I drink coffee one cup a day in concentrated amount, that can't possibly affect my memory.  And I've read from Nescafé's Facebook Page that drinking coffee could actually help improve memory loss.  So yeah, I'm sticking to my story!  I'm not also good in memorizing people's names when introduced but still, I'm sticking with my story!

And my story was...

What was it again?

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or

SOPA

Stop SOPA I t is not a long, upholstered couch with a back and two arms or raised ends that sits within the walls of your comfortable living room.  I believe it is a sofa?  This one is SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act.  I would want to link the article in Wikipedia but the site will be having a blackout in protest to this censorship.  So what is it?  For sure it's not as comfortable as your sofa in your living room.  Here's the gist:  there is a bill in the U.S. Senate that if passed would cripple our freedom to publish right here in the web.  Still don't get it?   Fight for the Future does it better with this video right after the jump.
