The New York Times on Noynoy →
Noynoy’s “Luisita to the Farmers” was just another empty promise. The New York Times exposes a man who will say anything to win in May 2010.

What kind of college best suits your personality?
The answer: A small liberal arts school.
You may be what’s known as a “Barnes and Noble intellectual”, or you may be the next Ralph Waldo Emerson. You’re an independent thinker in a country that unfortunately doesn’t value them all that highly these days. You’ll do well at places like Amherst, Haverford, Wellesley, and Colgate.
What kind of a dictator are you?
The answer: You’ll be a Fidel Castro.
You and Fidel Castro have strong nationalistic pride, and can get by without many resources, resorting to ingenious guerilla tactics. Some even call Castro a benevolent dictator (and hopefully you’ll end up this way!) But sadly, he resorts to the same oppression he fought against.
Which Crazy Writer Are You?
The answer: Tom Wolfe.
Ah, the life of a wall flower. You get to hang out with the most interesting people - radio DJs, hot rodders, hippies, Hell’s Angels, Wall Street tycoons, frat boys - and are completely happy putting them into the spotlight. You’re completely happy hanging back with your martini and your little notebook, jotting down all your little observations, in sight...

The Political Compass Test - My Political Thought:...
(Info from http://www.politicalcompass.org/test): Both an economic dimension and a social dimension are important factors for a proper political analysis. By adding the social dimension you can show that Stalin was an authoritarian leftist (ie the state is more important than the individual) and that Gandhi, believing in the supreme value of each individual, is a liberal leftist. While the former...

This is how a textbook supplier proposes to a school (not an exception). A friend of mine told me that a friend of hers (who happened to be appalled) showed me a copy of this letter. I knew this was the norm, but it’s still shocking to actually see an evidence of it. This is so reflective of the many things that are wrong in our transactional (and pervasive) society. ...

This one’s another e-mail circulating in the office. During a lull one workweek, I decided to send it to my personal e-mail to try to make some sense out of it. While I scrolled the list, it stunned me because most of the things listed there are indeed true. I can relate to them. Then, it hit me, I am living the call center life! I don’t know if I should be happy about it, but I do...

1. I was a “leftie” until I was 4 years old. 2. The HR Director from my place of work asked me why I speak good English. I told her that the place where I went to pre-school had something to do with it. 3. I went to elementary - and spent the better part of my childhood - at Lourdes School of Mandaluyong (which is celebrating its golden anniversary this year.) 4. After elementary, I...
