Gone are the days when you have to go some library and take from a shelf the latest edition of Supreme Court Reports Annotated (SCRA) to find jurisprudence on an issue which you cannot even describe as recent.

Taking advantage of all these and with the goal of being able to help all lawyers and law students alike, LawMonitor.Net is launching its Recent Philippine Supreme Court Decisions and Resolutions Search Tool which you will find on our right side bar.

Now that Starbucks has lost its monopoly on stylish planners, many other cafe’s, clothing stores and stationery stores have jumped on to the same idea and produced and marketed their own chic planners. I am not talking Belle De Jour, or Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf or even the Amore food planner. I am talking about the exclusive National Bookstore 2010 planner.

For my 63rd Philippine Independence Day post or now known as the Filipino-American Friendship Day – July 4, 1946, I’m releasing my adjusted version of Banyuhay’s Baybayin Typepad hereby called as Baybayin Typepad No.01.

Yes, as the name suggests this is the first. This great tool was developed by Banyuhay (a blog site written completely in Baybayin / ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔). This is the first typepad for Baybayin I found and it won’t be the last.

Nordenx is also creating his own Baybayin Typepad. I am also writing my own, two jQuery-based Baybayin Typepad, the first jQuery version is already online (if you can find where I am hosting it, congrats) but it is not ready yet.

Simple instructions are inside, no need to download any fonts as long as you are using Firefox 3.5; Safari 4; and the latest Chrome nightly. Enjoy ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔ and I hope this will encourage you to love and revive this beautiful writing system that we can call our own.

Two portals from the realms of DragonLance and WarCraft magically linked up by some heavenly or hellish intervention. The two Death Knights, Loren Soth and Arthas Menethil, Lord and King on their respective worlds sensed each others presence.

Knowing a potential equal (and a potential right-hand), and seeing a new world to conquer, they are now hell bent to defeat the other. No one wants to yield and offer cooperation and conquer the two worlds. NO, they want the other to kneel down before himself by will or by force, and in total utter defeat.

Sa matagal na panahong pananakop ng mga kastila, sila ay nag-iwan ng mga bakas na hanggang sa ngayon ay marka parin ng ating bayan. Paano tayo naging malayang kung gayong may mga bakas parin ng ating pagkaalipin katulad ng pangalan ng ating bansa na malinaw na nagsasabing tayo ay pag-aari parin ni Haring Felipe II?

Nakakapagtakang nakalaya na tayo’t lahat ay mukhang nakalimutan ng ating mga naunang lider o bayani na palitan ang pangalan ng ating bansa? Hindi naman siguro lingid sa kanilang kaalaman noon na ang pangalang Pilipinas ay ipinagkaloob ni Villalobos sa ating bansa sa ngalang ni haring Felipe.

Nakalimutan nga kaya nilang palitan, sinadyang kalimutan o wala sa isip nilang palitan ang pangalang Pilipinas.

Definition of recent here being in the last 10 months or so. The list is mostly in alphabetical order.

A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K. Dick – It’s quite good but, admittedly, I reread a few parts because they flew over my head. It’s very bleak and the inevitable conclusion was a strange mix of depressing and slightly hopeful. I like the surreal mindfuck feel going through out the novel, and I’m curious about movie version.

Hello guys. i recently started reading the classics again. and it was a pleasant experience, revisiting the reasons why i adored the classics while growing up. reading iliad for example brought me back to the kind of poignant heroism of Achilles. truth be told, i find it hard to watch Troy again. it’s one of those unrepeatables, all because of the PAIN that the viewer must face too in processing the choices that the heroes faced.

Based on a recent article, regarding how it is the books we read early on in life which truly have a profound influence on us, I look back at literature which has been particularly influential to me, and note how I’ve read many of them well into adulthood – although I did in fact read quite a few books growing up that had a significant influence on my development, especially in terms of my perception of morality and religion.

For the second installment of Covers Carnival, I thought I should do something different. So instead of just typing text to describe and make fun of the covers, I figured maybe I should dick around with the covers themselves. Am I making sense? Of course not. Nevertheless, here are ten Baddified covers of Archie and Friends.
