Murder

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Wikipedia defines murder as “the unlawful killing of another human person with malice aforethought, as defined in Common Law countries”. Notice the phrase “with malice aforethought”; though most people would like to believe that the phrase means “premeditated”, in this case, it embraces different concepts. According to the same Wikipedia entry, various states of the [...]

Watching Tom

Monday, October 27th, 2008

People can say whatever they want about him and I won’t care. He’s not the greatest actor out there, but he does have depth. In my book, Tom Cruise movies make one hell of a viewing experience!
One of Hollywod’s good comedy movies was also Tom’s biggest break, Risky Business. The 1983 film had Tom playing [...]

Camera For Watchdogs

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The gruesome Metrobank (in Cavite, Philippines) hold-up which took place months ago could have been prevented if the bank’s closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras were functioning properly. Whether in banks or retail stores, CCTV cameras are a must.
A working CCTV camera will allow bank authorities, and shopkeepers, to keep a close watch on [...]

The Beijing Olympics spawned a lot of controversies. Aside from the political brouhaha over its claims on Tibet, China also had to answer to allegations of the fake opening ceremony singer and fireworks. Despite all these, though, one must admit that the over-all handling of the Olympics was well-organized, and the first one to echo [...]

I Want My Apple iPod Shuffle!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I don’t have an Apple iPod Shuffle. But I want to have one because of the following reasons…
- An Apple iPod Shuffle has an iTunes feature. I get to listen to all the songs I want and have all the new tunes I crave for via the iTunes Store. There are over 6 million songs [...]

Britney News

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

For several months now, Britney Spears has been keeping an unusually low profile. Well, at least low enough so that the paparazzi are left with no choice but to look for other stars to focus their lenses on. A lot of speculations have also been coming out about her “new body”. This time around, there [...]

Indie Movies

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I love watching independent films. However, since I came home to Cagayan de Oro, I haven’t had the chance to really watch the new ones since there is no alternative film venue in the city.
One of the newest Filipino indie movies that I find interesting is Baron Geisler’s Jay. Baron, his director Francis Pasion, and [...]
