Congress would be in the microscope tomorrow as the Malacanang occupant delivers her State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA).

From where I sit, I see the House of Representatives depicting the real state of our nation.

There are probably hundreds of accounting software available in the market today, with majority downloadable from the internet either for a fee or for free.

They vary in terms of features and functions, not to mention price. In general, however, most accounting software have common features that bring great benefits to a business, especially small ones.

Because nobody demanded it, a new blog series! In this new series, I shall cover (hyuk! hyuk!) awesome comic book covers just because. This is exactly the same kind of dickery I pulled in Face Rockery with the blog series Face-Rocking Covers. So yeah, this is basically me making fun of comic book covers. High five?

For this inaugural Cover Carnival entry, we’ll be looking at a few covers of Batman. Unless you were living under a stupid rock (I mean, who does that? Really.) for the last year, you’ll understand why I find Batman covers to be appropriate for this initial offering. The Dark Knight spelunked (New word!) into theaters last week and Batman is understandably in everybody’s consciousness right now. This is how I’m celebrating this most awesome of awesome movies.

The Bat-Signal. ON THE MOON. And it’s daylight where the signal is coming from. Think about that for a moment, will you?

Although I work at Makati CBD, the type of work I do does not require me to face clients often. If I have to be honest, I mostly spend my days (and nights) typing away at my laptop to connect to different people in different places around the world. I can say that about 75% of my colleagues do not even wear makeup (huwaaat?! – yea my mom has the same reaction). This means, I can be as lousy and as unkempt as I could be (not that I want to) and my laptop will not crash on me.

Two weeks after I wrote “FO: Open Access Journals,” Philippine Studies (PS) launched its own website… At this point, Kasarinlan, whose archives go back to its first issue in 1985, is probably the Filipino open access journal with the most issues online. PS, however, should take the “lead” (not that there’s any competition going on) once all its issues from 1953, which have already been digitized according to Filomeno Aguilar, Jr., its editor, are uploaded.

A premonition? After last Tuesday night’s So Kim Cheng Sports Awards, I and three other councilors had a nightcap at the lobby bar of Grand Regal Hotel. Councilors Danilo Dayanghirang, Nilo Abellera, Leo Avila III and myself reminisced how we all started in politics.

We also recollected many other politicians in Davao and one prominently mentioned during our discussion was Dominador “Boy” Zuño, Jr. He served our city as City Councilor and Vice Mayor. Councilors Dayanghirang and Abellera both started their political careers under the tutelage of Boy.

We asked ourselves how he was doing.

If you don’t have any oven and you want to have a “sort of like” baked spaghetti. Then no need to worry. I have my own way and I’ll teach you how. This is different from other spaghetti recipes, I added milk to it for better taste and there is no water! It’s simple to do, you don’t need to be a Pro for this. Here:

Do you have enough patience to put together 24,000 puzzle pieces?

It’s no secret that Filipina women exude an appeal so “exotic” that men gravitate towards them. The modern Pinay is a contradiction, a go-getter who could be painfully shy, career-oriented yet, could also be the most domesticated person. No wonder Pinoys find their women sexy.

Just look at the FHM and any other magazines designed for men, and look at how the sexiest polls go… or, how sexy stars’ used bikinis sell like hotcakes at online auctions (as if they’re mega stocks in the market). Thanks to FHM, Pinays are hotter than ever.

It is said that the next major world conflict or future wars will be on water.

Well, actually one is already raging in our city. But thank God, this war uses no bullets or bombs.

The war pits the government-owned water utility, the Davao City Water District, against the privately-owned clean energy firm Hedcor. DCWD wants to tap the surface water of the Tamugan River for its future supply; Hedcor wants to use the same river to generate hydropower to answer the expected power supply shortage by 2010-11.

A number of battlefronts have been opened in their war

At the City Council this morning, I learned from media colleagues that former basketball star and veteran politician Francisco “Paking” Rabat of Mati, Davao Oriental passed away last weekend. He was 74.

The Davao Region lost one of its most colorful leaders. He served as Vice Governor and Governor of the Davao Oriental Province during the martial law period. After the people power revolt that threw away his close friend Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, he became mayor of the capital town. Mati bacame a city last year just in time for Paking to retire from politics to give way to his daughter Michele, the new city mayor.
