Hi, all. Let me bitch for a while about how freaking crazy school has been.
So, today’s the 30th of June. It’s only been a month since Junior year started, yet we’re already swamped with incomprehensible equations and ridiculous scientific terms. Like, WTF’s sin and cos and tan and tan-1? My calculator is increasingly becoming my [...]

Finally, with some help from Small Potato, I’ve completed my very minimalist theme and have applied it to this blog. Ever since I got hold of this hosting account, I’ve been very keen on design and have always been on the lookout for simple, clean layouts. So far, I haven’t found exactly what I was [...]

High school, they say, is the most enjoyable part of the education process. Well, if acne, armpit odor, newfound pubic hair, and insecurity appeal to you. Of course, we’ve all encountered this precarious stage. For me to be able to blog about [...]

Gunshots.
I heard them in the distance. The consistent rattling of machine guns and explosion of cannons filled my heart with trepidation, but I knew I had no other choice. I took the earthen [...]

[Editor's note: this was first published in one of my Wordpress-hosted blogs, "QWERTY Confessions", on April 4, 2008. I am republishing it here because school is taking up too much of my time I will try to write a new post every once in a while (hopefully, multiple times a week).]
In the darkness, the [...]

Hi, guys. As I said before, the silence of this blog is too loud to bear, so here’s a post to fill the empty void and break the awkward hush.
So I thought I’d take you guys through a timeline-style tour of how a day in the life of Dean usually goes, just so you see [...]

I’ve been really swamped with school stuff lately. Physics is like the most difficult subject ever conceived, and jumping Jupiters, Mathematics ain’t a piece of cake either.
So this is third-year life. I guess I was too busy thinking about next-only-to-seniors-superiority and prom to remember the darker side of Junior Year.

Daniel Scocco, the genius behind the Daily network (Daily Blog Tips, Daily Writing Tips, and Daily Bits) has concocted a brilliant plan: an international bloggers network.
Daniel says that a bunch of bloggers had thought about a bloggers union a few years back, but in a totally different way: they were concerned about healthcare, insurance, etc.—you [...]

An email from Firefox Download Day hit my inbox today. Firefox 3’s final release is going to be made available for download on June 17. As I’ve blogged before, Mozilla will try to set a world record for most software downloads in one day with their latest version of the famed web browser. If you [...]

Today, I hesitatingly put Disqus back up on my site to ease the load up a bit on my server. Reactivating Disqus will hide all comments posted on the default comment form, but on the plus side, all the comments made when I first installed Disqus are back. This includes the 12 comments on my [...]

I don’t know if you guys have heard of IndieBloggers. It’s a blog run by Anastacia Campbell (who also has a photoblog) where creative writers can submit their works—fictional or otherwise—and get them published, offering free visibility for you and your blog (if you have one).
I first sent a submission to IB in the last [...]

When America elects its next president come November, it will have to decide between two starkly different candidates—the seasoned John McCain, who believes in spending billions of dollars on the war in Iraq, but thinks twice about spending millions of dollars in education, or Barack Obama, who, in his charismatic speeches promises of a new [...]

Twitter’s been down lately. Anyone with an account at the service will know that. The Web’s been abuzz with rants about the downtime, and while Pownce and Jaiku users have taken this opportunity to invite people to switch, Twitterers still can’t find a better service.
Until Plurk came along.
Yes, Plurk. It’s taking the Interwebs by storm [...]

As you probably know, there has been an email going around about Barack Obama, the first-ever African American to be nominated by a party for the presidency. A friend of mine posted this bulletin on Friendster, and Imma post my simple rebuttal. Hit the jump to proceed.

I watched Hillary Clinton address her supporters in New York just minutes ago, and just like everyone predicted, she refused to concede to rival Barack Obama. She says she “won’t make any decisions tonight”, and will consult with party leaders and supporters on what to do next.
How about raise the white flag and face the [...]
