I grabbed this tag from Andrea.

His Name. Christopher. So plain. So common I know. In fact, about millions of other men in this country alone bear the same name. Needless to say, although the name is ordinary, the man that carries it isn’t.

kung meron man akong kinaiinisang larong pambata, iyon ay wala ng iba pa kundi ang nagiisa at ang makabagbagdamdamin na |Hide and Seek| o Taguan.

ewan ko lang pero hindi ko talaga masakyan ang larong ito. hindi ito swak sa kategorya ng kaligayahan ko. hindi naman sa kill joy–AKO PA? lahat ng larong pwede maglagay sa alanganin sa buhay ko, nilalaro ko. sadyang wala lang talaga akong gana kapag taguan na ang napagtripan ng mga dugyutin kong playmates na nagsawang humithit ng apache pentel pen.

I’m so sorry if I have been totally neglecting this blog. I haven’t posted anything in weeks, I haven’t checked my recent links, and I haven’t even replied to any of the comments. And there was this one really funny comment by Underling’s Seatmate too in my Choir Rules entry. It’s just that Honey and I have been busy with our movie:

Today marks the birth of Andres Bonifacio, revolutionary leader and founder of the Katipunan which led the Filipino movement against Spanish colonialism in waning years of the 19th Century.

Bonifacio envisioned a Philippine society free from the yolk of Spanish colonial rule. A hundred years hence, the demands raised by the late plebeian supremo against repression and inequality continues to be relevant.

In spite of the semblance of democratic trappings, the country remains in a seemingly insoluble and permanent crisis.

No where is this more pronounced than in the Trillanes standoff at Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati yesterday - an event which came after a series of corruption scandals that rocked the Arroyo administration, the subsequent Makati and Batasan bombings, and the release of a United Nations final report pointing to the armed forces as the culprits behind the killings of leftwing civil society leaders.

But where were we before the recent quagmire?

How do we explain the people’s fanatical participation in new religious formations? Why are evangelical leaders enjoying high popularity these days? It’s not enough to describe the religious nature of Filipinos. The revival of interest in religion has something to do with the dislocations of the Philippine economy in the past decades.

I am reserving further expression of my opinions on today’s standoff between Sen. Trillanes and around 30 renegade soldiers and gov’t. soldiers at Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati. In the meantime, here are links to the Inquirer.net online coverage of the mutiny.

Sonus refers everyone to pictures from SunnySideUp! A website supportive of the coup attempt is online while Stuart-Santiago, Uniffors, and the Philippine Experience liveblogged the military adventure.

Gibbs Cadiz gives an account of his close brush to having lunch with the Magdalo rebels while Philippines Without Borders finds humor Trillanes and co’s stunt:

It was so stupid of them to initiate a “coup” in the first place. You want a coup and you launch in a hotel?! My goodness! Such incompetent fools!

…You want a real revolution? Learn from the lessons of Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Joseph Broz Tito, Garibaldi, and Michael Collins. These guys launched it in the real battlefield; not in five star hotels. Mao said a revolution is no picnic and he succeeded.

But Trillanes and Lim would rather have their revolution in the comfort of a hotel. And when they started to feel the discomfort of a tear gas, they chickened out. Funny guys!

One quiet morning in the land of Makati
A truly wonderful day for all
The boy Trillanes was under trial for a coup attempt
Everyone remembers the stand-off at the mall

Trillanes decided it was no fun
Several of his friends agreed, they be so sweet
Together they left the Hall of Justice
To march freely along the Makati streets

I swear, one of these days, Webster will add a new definition to the word Chinese. They just can’t seem to get off of piracy! And you know what’s worse, they’re actually getting better at it each day! From the days of the cassete tapes and CDs of the late 1990’s, Chinese pirates are now in the business of copying everything from premium computer software to entire amusement parks (just like Disneyland, and I’m not kidding!). Of course, they wouldn’t leave out the business of today’s all-important communications tool, the cellphone. So when buying your next cellphone, better not be like my friend who bought himself what he called a “Chinese” version of the Nokia 6300. Oh, it was a Chinese version all right - an enterprising Chinese businessman’s version, that is.

Huwaaat!!??? Trillanes is on his way over here? I said aloud as I read the security advisory that our company has sent out.

Suddenly the floor was abuzz. Something was happening. It happened so fast. Spontaneous was not the term to descibe it. I am inclined to believe it was planned.

It was scary to be trapped in a building so near Manila Peninsula where all the commotion was ongoing. It was hard to tell which was scarier, to stay put and remain at risk in case the situation got worse, or to go out and try to leave the area at the same time exposing yourself to danger.
