Yup, she could no longer stand it and placed matters into her own hands. Literally. Haha.
But yes, Paris does not merit discussion in the news. Leave her to the entertainment press like E!, People and the like. The news needs to spend more time on real issues that are happening right now, like the war [...]

The Police at Dodger Stadium – Amee was there!
The Police was formed in 1977, the year I was born. I have loved them ever since I could remember. Who wouldn’t? Their songs are timeless and they speak to anyone from any generation.
When it was announced during the Grammys that they were going to have a reunion, I was ecstatic. When I found out [...]

John Mayer’s Stop This Train
Recently, there’s this one song that I keep on playing. I can relate to it especially when I feel that everything here is going too fast and I just want to pause and take a moment to breathe.
I couldn’t find an official video of the song. Here’s the best I could get from youtube. Also [...]

State of Philippine education
I’m currently watching The Correspondents on TFC. They are featuring ‘mobile’ teachers in the Philippines, teachers who teach in far flung areas in the mountains, teachers who teach people how to read and write.
I’m amazed. Most students who are adults don’t even know how to write their names. They don’t even know how to hold [...]

A few readings
Here were a few readings that made my news day.
First was on the 9 firefighters who died battling a blaze in South Carolina:
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – Nine caskets lined the front of a coliseum Friday as thousands of firefighters from across the nation, their hats in their hands, honored nine colleagues killed in a [...]

Kurt Nilsen
I remember watching this Hobbit-looking guy during a World Idol episode years ago. At that time, the only one I was familiar with was Kelly Clarkson and I thought she was a shoo-in for the crown (she was second runner-up). But oh my, when Kurt Nilsen sang U2’s Beautiful Day, it was something else. That [...]

When a squirrel attacks
I’ve saved this news item but haven’t posted it. It cannot get more bizarre than this:
Squirrel goes on rampage, injures 3
Thu Jun 14, 10:42 AM ET
An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.
The squirrel first ran [...]

The Kris, Ruffa and Gretchen leaderboard
The 12th Senate seat is still open but the 11th has been claimed by Antonio Trillanes IV, who will be proclaimed on Friday. Oh-ha, eat your heart out Pichay. This is a guy with almost zero budget and just his name (notoriety?) to propel him and he still managed to land in the 12.
My question [...]

Jon Stewart, Paris Hilton and the Black Nazarene
When: June 11
Where: Jon Stewart’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central
What: Paris Hilton Gets in a Car
Jon parodies the Paris Hilton jailing media frenzy coverage to…the Black Nazarene pilgrimage in the Philippines!
Jon’s spiel: “You know I’ve seen a frenzy like that somewhere before. It was in the Philippines, I believe. Throngs of worshipers [...]
