Just another Bomb Threat Monday
Monday, October 27, 2008


For call center employees, Monday has always been manic as calls spike at the start of the week. This monday was no different but for an entirely different reason: a bomb threat. SWAT officers had their bomb sniffing dogs all over the floor as all the agents were evacuated. Most of them hung out at ministop next to Sutherland for about an hour and a half until they declared that the threat was just a hoax. Worthless.

Excuse my CSS
Sunday, October 26, 2008

I've only tried scouring the net for tutorials in CSS + Flash a week ago and tried it on my own blog. I was actually going for the I-drank-too-much-last-night-then-puked-on-my-PC look when I made this so please tell me if I was successful. ☺

What Would Rochelle Do?
Tuesday, October 21, 2008

"Di ko na mapi-pi-gi-lan, ang ka-li-ga-ya-han na aking nadarama..." went my Visayan neighbor as her loudspeakers blared it throughout the neighborhood on high noon today as I ate spaghetti on the living room. I can't help but get on my holier-than-thou horse and holler back with a mouthy "HOY" at her, but that would be what another denigrate would do to his kin. I then had a realization.

Entertainment being what it is: just entertainment, becomes more than what it is and the more popular it gets makes it a catalyst on how our future society would attach their morals to. A good example would be a teen asking herself (probably in the year 2016, when she's 16) "What would Rochelle do?". If the droves of young hip-breaking Sex Bomb fans only took to real life what they learn from their songs (along with the entire genre of novelty songs), they would become illiterate sluts (if they weren't already illiterate to begin with) who only wanted to marry a rich foreigner in order to sustain her for life. Wait, no. We already have fields avenue. I rest my case.

The Bastards that We Are
Wednesday, October 15, 2008

A song by Razorlight goes:

I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me

All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
There's trouble in America



It is completely clear that the Philippines is the 54th state, next to Mexico and Colombia but should we be this much US-centric that we're more concerned about the Obama-McCain election than ours, that we're glued to CNN for updates on the latest bailout plan passed by congress than our own ailing economy, that we're exploiting our hospitality by rendering our services for the States (case in point: nurses and the call center industry). There's a thought. Ponder on that before you go on watching the latest episode of Americal Idol.
