Still, despite the harsh economic realities, you’d still find a great number of young Filipinos, students especially, running around with the latest gadget technology can offer. The most visible representation would be the mobile phone; Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorolla are just among the top brands whose latest models graze the hands, necks, bags and belt pouches of today’s students and young professionals.

Technically, I started out blogging last May 2005, and withing that span from May 2005 to July 2005 I had been making a lot of changes in terms of the theme of my blog. My first one was that of friendster, overall it was fine, but back then I feel that the articles written were not as eye catching as I expected, so I decided to scrap it out.

Hip-hop music blared in the club. Several platforms, on which club patrons showcased their dancing, rose above the dance floor. On one such platform, Angie was dancing suggestively with a random girl. From behind. With slapping action.

Rosanna’s dad loved to tease me, but even more so after he had read my diary. He used to say — repeatedly — my life would be glorious and tragic, like that of Marie Antoinette’s. What, I’d protest loudly, I’d get my head chopped off and have it fall in a bloody descent into an empty basket? He said I was missing the point. It was the way I’d live, not how I died, that would define me.

Another week of mastery tests are coming up next week. This means another weekend of study and review. I can, in my mind, already start to hear D’s complaints and whines.

The plagiarist left a comment.

I’m not going to react to everything he says because it’s not worth it, but take a look at these: “maybe it would have been better if you’d asked…” and “…viewing a positively committed mistake as a negative is worse than committing plagiarism as admitted.” More…
