  • Epixtar Doesn’t Like Bloggers

    Some new developments on this silly Epixtar thing. But before that, a backgrounder: Like I said in post last January 10, Migs made a post about how the local Epixtar’s callcenter might be in for a rough ride after how their offices in Florida, US filed for bankruptcy.

  • Kobe ain’t got nuthin. Against Kobe. Virtually.

    I got the idea from Jeremy Clarkson’s Top Gear episode wherein he tried to beat his time of 1 minute 41 seconds in Gran Turismo on the same track on the same car except in real life.

  • I wanna see DLSU play

    I’ll tell you what. Inasmuch as I completely despise the (alleged) cheating situation at DLSU, and the ensuing investigation that left more questions than answers, I gotta say that La Salle’s leave of absense from the UAAP is not the right step to alleviate the situation.

  • Epixtar must be a fun place to work

    The chief recently pointed out a post he made recently wherein he seemed to have ruffled a few callcenter feathers. Upon learning of Epixtar Corp.’s ongoing Chapter 11 registration both in Miami US and locally, the chief wondered aloud whether a callcenter career in Epixtar House Eastwood would still count as a viable career.

  • Now Blogging – The U.P. Portia Sorority!

    The University of the Philippine’s Portia Sorority has been around for 72 years, counting such luminaries as Justice Cecilia Munoz Palma and Haydee Yorac as sisters, and so it’s just righteous that they find a suitable place on the web.
