Blogging Lessons from God Comments

by Dean on July 31, 2008

Stuff God Hates is not your average blog. Whereas most weblogs write about technology, blogging, and kitty captions, this blog holds an auspicious status no other blogger can attain—it is written by God.
Well, not really, but hearing that last sentence does catch people’s attention. Stuff God Hates is actually a hilariously (if blasphemously) satirical corner [...]

94th Anniversary of the Iglesia ni Cristo Comments

by Dean on July 27, 2008

Today, July 27, marks the 94th anniversary of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), one of the biggest Christian denominations in the country and arguably an incredible (some would say impossible) success story. The INC was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 1914, the same day World War One broke [...]

Chief Scribe No More Comments

by Dean on July 26, 2008

As of today I have been relieved of my editor-in-chief position in our school’s official English publication. Seniority issues were raised and the school paper’s adviser finally decided to install a Senior writer in the top post to avoid further conflicts/misunderstandings.
I fully respect the decision and believe that it will ultimately lead to a stronger [...]

Risks Comments

by Dean on July 24, 2008

I am, as always, confined to the four corners of my painfully yellow room, again feeling the need to write. It could be the boredom of summer afternoons like this, or perhaps instinct — whatever it is, it’s telling me to write.
I write for many reasons — to while away the hours, to keep my [...]

Congrats to STAG; I’m an Editor-in-Chief now [LIFE] Comments

by Dean on July 19, 2008

The freshman politicians of Service Through Appropriate Governance (STAG) Party, one of the two major political parties in Agusan National High School (and the one to which I belong), once again won the recently-held First Year elections by a landslide, with all six of the party’s candidates grabbing the First Year Supreme Student Government seats. [...]

The Obscured Art of Personal Blogging Comments

by Dean on July 16, 2008

Let’s face it—personal blogging is a profitable niche no more. It’s a sad fact, seeing as how the original purpose of blogging was to serve as a sort of online journal. People’s tastes have changed, and blogging isn’t the obscure medium it used to be. Now, no one can wade through the Interwebs without hearing [...]

Soaring Comments

by Dean on July 10, 2008

[Editor's note: This post was first published on April 3, 2008 in QWERTY Confessions by me. Enjoy.]
I live in a small city in Southern Mindanao, Philippines. Small is the operative word there, rather than city. We have a small, sub-par mall. Small communities. Narrow roads. Only one or two social watering holes.
And, a small airport.
Maybe [...]

Stop Sulpicio Lines [Blogswarm] Comments

by Dean on July 5, 2008

Off the coast of Sibuyan Island in the Philippines, the underside of the sunken M/V Princess of the Stars rises above the waters in an ominous fashion. Still inside the vessel, bodies lay lifelessly, waiting to be excavated from their watery grave. Above ground, other bodies washed ashore in neighboring islands are being retrieved and [...]

Regretting Section One [RANTING/BITCHING] Comments

by Dean on July 4, 2008

Apparently, Section One isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
When Section One and I parted ways in Sophomore high school year, I missed it. I missed the fact that I was part of the top brass of the Special Science Curriculum, of the entire school in fact. Being in Section Three was an uneasy feeling. [...]

Plurk kicks Twitter’s ass—here’s why Comments

by Dean on July 4, 2008

Twitter’s been down in the dumps for a long time now. Downed servers, features being disabled (as of this writing, IM still hasn’t been restored). Twitter blog posts are never about new features, but instead about what has gone wrong with their system (and about how they’re “working to fix it”). Nobody knows why our [...]
