How many classifications of friends do we have? Theres a NODDING friend, TRUE friend, BEST friend, and OLD friend. When you set foot on a strange place…everyone becomes a NODDING friend. Eventually, you pick some people as TRUE friends. Then you get to choose one or two as BEST friends. As time goes by, you find your self in a strange place again and those people you met becomes OLD friends. Now, why do friends come and go? Why not just keep them forever? Every story has to end as they say. The problem is….. we get hurt knowing that ... Read more

The Philippines could not claim sovereignty over Spratlys on the basis of geographic proximity, risk to national security, and by the principle of terra nullius. Thus, the Philippines’ claim over Spratlys or part of Spratlys is illegal, declared Spratlys.org (a website advocating for Nansha Islands of China, China’s name for Spratlys). The said website also supported their conclusion on why such claim is illegal. According to the website, there is no international law stating that geographical proximity can be used to justify the claim. Because saying so means some isolated islands of Sulu should belong to Brunei and not to ... Read more

Now you may ask; “Is it possible?”, the answer is; the hell yes. But before we start discussing on such possibility let us start understanding 3D technology first. 3D imaging or stereoscopy is a photography technique that presents two 2D offset images combined to give us a 3D perception. 3D films, on the other hand, is presented by two superimposed motion pictures (taken on different perspective) projected onto the same screen through different polarizing filters. 3D glasses are also polarizing filters with left and right filters oriented differently (clockwise and counterclockwise circular polarization). Each filter passes only the light which ... Read more

Shocked! That was my reaction when I came across to a Yahoo! article entitled “What the car of 2020 will look like”. Shocked not only to the article’s content itself but with the comments posted below it. Wouldn’t these people aware that this technology was been available for more than three years now? Several models were out in the market such as Lexus LS 430, 2007 Volvo S80 and S60, Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class, 2009 Lincoln MKS (photo shown) and the recent Ford Taurus and Audi A8 offers such warning system. The first release of this Precrash system (Collision warning System) technology-capable cars offer ... Read more

We are humans. As humans, we feel. When we are happy, we smile, we laugh. When we are sad, we cry. When we hurt, we bleed. And when I bleed, I put a band aid on wherever the wound is. I don’t like seeing the wound, I don’t like seeing the blood. I don’t want to see a reminder of the hurt. So yes, I’m an advocate of putting a band aid on it. No matter how small a wound is, no matter how obstructed from sight it is, put a band aid on it. Doesn’t matter if the wound ... Read more

Follow your pain is the contrast of the famous line follow your bliss. Most of our pains in life ought to tell us something or rather to teach us something. But sometimes, we tend to miss the lessons because pain as path to follow is never ideal. We even tend to do away from it as much as possible. But perhaps, following your pain will lead you into something. The journey may not be as light as following your bliss but surely there is something significant that you may discover as you go along or as you arrive at the ... Read more

Jan Beranek of Greenpeace quoted; “There is always a risk that either the technology or the nuclear materials can fall into the wrong hands”, on the new energy alternative called nuclear fusion which uses water and/or its isotopes as fuel and convert it to an extravagant amount of energy and in turn, power. Wikipedia defines; Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or “fuse”, to form a single heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. Fusion is the process that powers active stars, the ... Read more

Gin Ichimaru is one of my top lister favorite anime character from the series/manga written by Tite Kubo, Bleach. He is the captain of the 3rd Division in the Gotei 13 until he betrays Soul Society, and became a commander of Sōsuke Aizen’s arrancar army. That’s all we know before the final chapters of Arrancar saga. Later we realized that he is a man whose real intent is hidden behind his smiles and in his rarely opened eyes. Professor Severus Snape, on the other hand, is a potion master of Hogwarts, the famous school of sorcery and witchcraft in the Harry Potter series. Envious ... Read more

We are a race capable of great compassion and of great violence.  “Optimus Prime” (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) Humans have been born with two specific tendencies, to be good and to be evil. Our freewill has always been challenged with these tendencies. True, sometimes it is easy to fall into temptation and just be as evil as you can be. In facing life’s circumstances, things have always been twice as tough as choosing the right thing and actually doing it. What makes it difficult? Choosing right over wrong? Doing something right over something wrong? The difficulty may arise ... Read more
