<description>&#x3C;B&#x3E;Imagine this:&#x3C;/B&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;A man secretes 250 million sperm cells in one ejaculation. 250 million!!! That is the population of the United States.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;B&#x3E;Imagine this:&#x3C;/B&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;There is only one egg, and that one egg if fertilized will not entertain the other 249,999,999 sperm cells. The other 249,999,999 sperm cells will die a natural death and they had lost to natural selection. &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;B&#x3E;Imagine this:&#x3C;/B&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;You&#x27;re that one sperm cell. You&#x27;re special. You&#x27;re the best (or luckiest) against the 249,999,999. Well, except if you have a twin or something.&#x3C;/JUSTIFY&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;

<title>Goldilocks is a mass murderer idealist</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;I&#x27;ve read&#x26;nbsp;a Fable comics from Vertigo, the plastic was open, and it was an hour or two before the anticipated mass. Cool story and premise, Goldilocks is a sexy, gun-totting, mass murderer. And she still&#x26;nbsp;loves poridge!&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;UAAP pala ngayon, kaya pala maraming tao. Haha.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<title>Arc</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;Paul just stared, half-amused and half-curious on&#x26;nbsp;why Georgea was laughing at him.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;So you&#x27;re saying in that Arc a creature live, a creature who eats dreams and futures, and that&#x27;s what explain the urban legend in the University?&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;That pretty much summed what I know about that Arc. But I never seen the creature, to see them as I&#x27;ve heard, require a sacrifice of the eyes.&#x22; Paul replied flatly&#x26;nbsp;to Georgea, unaware of&#x26;nbsp;her sarcasm.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Okay... You&#x27;re cute when the occult gets into you, really you are.&#x22; Said Georgea blushingly, she really meant it as she&#x26;nbsp;fancy this silent and brooding guy with his weird stories on Manila. They walked toward the Main Building along the trees of what the students call as &#x27;Lover&#x27;s Lane&#x27;, they walk silently and their hands brush along each other.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Georgea blushed as she felt his hands against her.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Paul did not notice that moment. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;Bangungot&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, the creature living in the Arc, watched them with lust and hunger.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;---&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#ff0000&#x22; size=&#x22;2&#x22;&#x3E;Working on Chapter 2, just ...</description>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;All I need is a hundred more peso and I can buy Neil&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;Anansi Boys&#x3C;/em&#x3E;. But crap I only have two hundred and fifty bucks in my wallet because of the org. fair earlier. *sniffs*&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;So Ma&#x27;am Villaba, the yogi/philosophy professor/seventy something&#x26;nbsp;(I guess), was my only class for today. I plan to go home and dream of reading another Gaiman.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Then I stopped when I was seeing people going to this ice cream vendor as I pass Plaza Mayor.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Curious I neared.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Learning that it was free&#x26;nbsp;I neared further. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Ice Cream!&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Then I saw Nachi, she was running towards me, I thought she was angry about my blog on John Lloyd (actually she is in some degree I guess)&#x26;nbsp;and after some confusing synapses in my mind&#x26;nbsp;I&#x26;nbsp;hypothesized she will hit me or something.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I almost blurted out &#x22;I DON&#x27;T HATE JOHN LLOYD, PLEASE DON&#x22;T HIT ME&#x22;, then she did&#x26;nbsp;something worse, she recruited me in an organization. *sniff*&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;But what the heck, I think TomWeb will be cool (even with some negative comments from the last ...</description>

<title>Neil Gaiman, Ninjas and Nocturnal Classes</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;Man, I think I&#x27;m going thinner and thinner because of the class schedules. Damn it. Due to some observations, I will no longer use the term &#x3C;em&#x3E;pwet&#x3C;/em&#x3E; to stress my discomfort on informal issues but will shift on more neutral quasi-curses as to refine myself, do note&#x26;nbsp;I never intend it to pertain to an anatomical part. Haha nag-explain pa ako.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;So gusto ko medjo English, since si Jicky talked to me in English earlier (connect?).&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;So the June draws to a close. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Olypics is nearing (like I care) in. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;800 bodies are still under that dismal ship with a then unreported pesticide shipment (which have a global ban on&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;em&#x3E;that&#x3C;/em&#x3E; chemical&#x26;nbsp;but Del Monte is well Del Monte, so fuck you world for not letting Del Monte gas its plantation and feed its fruit on the public). &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Sulpico Lines blames Frank the storm, PAG-ASA the weather beaurea, and God... well as God I guess. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Pacquio won.

<title>100 Hubad on a warm Saturday at Gateway and CCP museum on a rainy Sunday</title>
<description>100 Hubad last show on Gateway last June 28, 2008, Saturday. Glad I&#x27;ve seen it and taking pictures are allowed. I can&#x27;t really remember all the names of the work nor the artist&#x27;s name but here are some shots that moved me and made me ponder.

CCP museum tour with my two siblings this Sunday. For APP (Art Appreciation Class) at UST. Love the museum and photo/painting/ sculptures exhibits, solong-solo namin, we three are the only visitors so we loved the ambience of a silent museum. Four floors of Filipino art all for us! LOVE IT!

The whole museum is bordering in profound sanctity save for the guards and janitors who laughed and clapped everytime Manny Pacquiao throw a punch. Haha.

Kaso bawal camera sa loob. So we only manage to have our picture taken outside the CCP as for the museum interior we have the poor-pixels of my sister&#x27;s phone, and there is no plug to download it in this machine.</description>

Especially the interesting and bubbly souls that made&#x26;nbsp;college life bearable.&#x26;nbsp;That is why I&#x27;m really sad na wala akong classes with them this semester.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;But as they say in Taoism, don&#x27;t fight the rapids, let the power of the river take you to the banks.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;Two and a half weeks zoom by...&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;After some shifty and ecstatic&#x26;nbsp;temperatures, tragedies at sea, and the ever-changing student discount&#x26;nbsp;on fares, I think riding the torrents of the river feels kind of good.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;So, I have classes with four new sections.

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;Okay, new fresh meats had been formally introduced to the college world and for the first to second week they had and will experience the UST as something of a&#x26;nbsp;cross between a Venice and a Vietnam, haha. Fresh from high school they look so young and well&#x26;nbsp;their faces are&#x26;nbsp;not (yet)&#x26;nbsp;ravaged by heavy scholastic loads or the terror of proffesors. Tsk tsk. &#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Magkakapimpols rin kayo!!! Bwahahahahahaha.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Eneweis, last night was brownout. Kaso street lang ata namin because the next&#x26;nbsp;block has electricity!!! Damn you Judy Ann!!! Damn&#x26;nbsp;you!!!&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Pwet kandila lang ang tinititigan ko, walang TV, walang DSL, walang mabasang libro or hand-outs at mahirap pala maghugas ng mga plato at baso na ilaw lamang ng kandila ang gumagabay. In the darkness I mentally create further&#x26;nbsp;the universe na inaayos ko, I&#x27;m thinking on how Amaron ought to die and how Asuang will invade Makati. Hmmmm.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I need to look for a pirated version ng Adobe, stagnant na ang aking Deviantart. Hirap naman kas...</description>

<title>A Rainy Night</title>
<description>&#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;The moon steadily moves to the west and the&#x26;nbsp;storm grew worse. On top of a condemned building stands three people. An old graying man with sparse white&#x26;nbsp;beard&#x26;nbsp;who wears&#x26;nbsp;a black&#x26;nbsp;woolen trenchcoat&#x26;nbsp;stands wet under the rain. While a child with hairs like noodles and a well-built man shares an umbrella.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;They are silent for a time. The two who share the umbrella look at the wet old man with a nagging curiosity. Then the child speaks.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;&#x22;Tell me a story, a story from a hunt would be delightful!&#x22; requests Oyayi.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;&#x22;Yes, do tell us a story&#x22; repeats&#x26;nbsp;the handsome&#x26;nbsp;man under the umbrella.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;&#x22;You are&#x26;nbsp;fools to ask me to do such a thing. No holocaust of goats or chicken,&#x26;nbsp;not even a cigarette and you dare to demand as such from me!&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;&#x22;My stories worth more than a request from the two of you.You know better Amaron and Oyayi&#x26;nbsp;to ask such, not even Tadaklan and his hound could be arrogant enough.&#x22; sneers the old man.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p align=&#x22;justify&#x22;&#x3E;&#x22;And none could be&#x26;nbsp;humbler, Kuento.&#x22; co...</description>

<title>Bring on the rain!!! (A shitty reflection on dealing with problems)</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;I woke up today because of the rain. Dun sa mga nakaakyat sa kwarto ko might visualize kung paano magising sa aking attic-kwarto. Masarap, refreshing and with meaning.&#x26;nbsp;Pero today I felt a whole lot better because, salamat sa Diyos, nawala na rin ang &#x3C;em&#x3E;rayuma &#x3C;/em&#x3E;ko that is bugging me for the last two weeks. Sa tingin ko dahil naliligo ako kaagad after a long walk from my stop. Haha napapasma mga joints ko.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Speaking of &#x3C;em&#x3E;rayuma&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, or &#x3C;em&#x3E;rheumatism &#x3C;/em&#x3E;para sa mga susyal.&#x26;nbsp;Some of my friends do experience a different kind of &#x3C;em&#x3E;rayuma &#x3C;/em&#x3E;in this gloomy season an emotional and spiritual &#x3C;em&#x3E;rayuma&#x3C;/em&#x3E;. Ngayon may mga nagtataka&#x26;nbsp;kung may koneksyon nga ba ang lamig ng panahon sa lamig ng kalamnan at emosyon. Wala akong masasagot sa mga ganyang katanungan.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Dahil wala naman talagang sagot.&#x26;nbsp;Ang meron lamang ay&#x26;nbsp;mga payo, mga direksyon, mga bituin sa maitim na langit. Sa iyo na ang paglalakbay - sa iyo na ang mga bagay na iyong mapupulot sa naturang paglalakbay&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Benjamin Hoff, an&#x26;nbsp;American&#x26;nbsp...</description>

<title>Mental Doodling: Random thoughts on our 110 year old Republic</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;So...&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;LRT is free today from 5-7PM. We, my cousin from UST Engineering&#x26;nbsp;and I, decided to try it out. Kaso lang sobrang haba ng pila akala ko pila ng bigas. Pwet, napabili na tuloy ako ng ticket gusto ko kasi ng makauwi ng maaga para makapanood ng &#x3C;em&#x3E;Avatar: The Last Air Bender&#x3C;/em&#x3E;.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Akala ko makakatipid ako pero mula UST napabili ako ng P5 buko juice, P12 na Vanilla Ice Cream, P10 na kwek-kwek na penoy, P10 na kwek-kwek na itlog pugo, P14 na LRT ticket, P12 na tricycle. Haaay, it defeats a simple 10km journey (yes, 10 km from UST to my stop somewhere in Anonas, I Google Earth it!) with only a discounted 12 peso fare to pay. Tsk tsk.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Hindi pa tapos uniporme kong pinapatahi ko. Manong naman, alam kong wala kang Multiply, pero bilis-bilisan mo at mahirap maglaba ng uniporme.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Ung titser ko sa literature mukhang tindera sa may Divisoria, alam nyo yun, yung tipong &#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x22;Hendeh whan por whan-aNdred, whan por whan-aNdred&#x22;.&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;May assignment ka-agad.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Nakidnap pala si Cess Drilron.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Patay na si DaBoy.

<title>A walk at the University </title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;It was morning, or I guess it was. The saints are looking from the sky, saddened faces follows me as I walk but their stance are stern, their pitied eyes are mixed with an infallible and unmovable&#x26;nbsp;conviction. The bustling souls that goes along and against my path are numerous and devoid of identity. And I am&#x26;nbsp;half-suprised that&#x26;nbsp;I do not have the concept of &#x27;me&#x27; in my head anymore.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Devoid too as the damned soul that I come across I continue to walk. Minutes later I came to&#x26;nbsp;see a metal gate. And a man of authority , or is it a troll wearing&#x26;nbsp;man as a pelt,&#x26;nbsp;stationed at the metallic mouth requires me with these words: &#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x22;Leave your hope all those who enter!&#x22;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I am distracted and I have to squint my eyes and ask him again what he requires.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;He looks at me and says: &#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x22;Leave your hope all those who enter!&#x22;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I sighed as his words had missed me again&#x26;nbsp;and ask him to repeat once more.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;He looks at me, irritated but patient,&#x26;nbsp;and says quite hazily as the words ...</description>

<title>Pwet ang semester ko ngayon.</title>
<description>Man I hate my new schedule for this semester, I know I&#x27;m an irregular and in complete control of my schedule but the offered courses (most are&#x26;nbsp;my majors) are in the night shift. So my itinerary goes like this:&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Monday&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;12pm-1pm : Metaphysics&#x3C;br&#x3E;3pm-6pm : Scholasticism&#x3C;br&#x3E;6pm-9pm : Dynamics of Philippine Politics&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Tuesday&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;10-11:30 : History of Philosophy: East&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Wednesday&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;12pm-1pm: Metaphysics&#x3C;br&#x3E;3pm-6pm : Begginer&#x27;s Spanish&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Thursday&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;10-11:30 : History of Philosophy: East&#x3C;br&#x3E;1pm-4pm : Survey of Literature I&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Friday&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;12pm-1pm: Metaphysics&#x3C;br&#x3E;3pm-6pm : Art Appreciation&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Damn this would be a long ang hard semester. And I am waiting for Indian Philosophy to be available so I can have a regular load this semester. Damn it, tsk.</description>

<title>SAVE THE INTERNET!!!</title>

We assume we&#x27;ll be able to access any Web site we want, whenever we want, at the fastest speed, whether it&#x27;s a corporate or mom-and-pop site. We assume that we can use any service we like -- watching online video, listening to podcasts, sending instant messages -- anytime we choose.  &#x3C;p&#x3E;What makes all these assumptions possible is Network Neutrality.  &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;a name=&#x22;what&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#000000&#x22;&#x3E;What is Network Neutrality?&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;  &#x3C;p&#x3E;Network Neutrality -- or &#x22;Net Neutrality&#x22; for short -- is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.  &#x3C;p&#x3E;Put simply, Net Neutrality means no discrimination. Net Neutrality prevents Internet providers from speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its source, ownership or destination.  &#x3C;p&#x3E;Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It protects the consumer&#x27;s right to use any equipm...</description>
