Birthday

Happy Birthday!
So apparently someone scribbled my birthday on the calendar.  Little did they know that I stopped celebrating mine 3 years ago, so I'm still officially 25!

When we were younger there seems to be an excitement about your birthday.  It's like your very special day, it's like everything is going your way.  Everyone's your friend, wishing you the best!  It's also a special day when you can have almost anything you want.  I want a new shoes for my birthday, new t-shirt, a gaming console maybe.  This was such a thrill when I was younger - I'm still young though.

Probably it was a gradual loss of excitement but recently I realized I'm not excited about my birthday anymore.  I do not when was the time it started when birthdays just became ordinary days.  Sure, I may go out or eat out with some friends and family but it's different when I was younger.  The thrill was gone, I wonder how in the world happened.

Or could it just be that, I am getting old?

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.
