Abante apologizes to Jill

gringo plagiarized jillFollowers of my girlfriend Jill’s blog would be familiar with her recent Abante episode, where she was plagiarized, plain and simple, via a unauthorized reposting of her post about an ongoing scam at NAIA.

Apparently certain enterprising officials would plant damning evidence in traveler’s baggage for the purpose of extortion. In the case mentioned above, a bullet was placed inside a 75 year old lady’s bag for which she had to spend a night in one of Pasay City’s no doubt pleasant and well-appointed jail cells.

Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Olivers Review

ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliverosThis is rather late as it’s been four days since I watched the movie at Gateway Cubao, but suffice to say I’ve been writing this post in my head ever since and I’m fairly itching to get it all out, so here it is, albeit I may have lost some of my thoughts since then.

At any rate here they are bulletpoint style. WARNING: If you haven’t seen the movie, there are spoilers!

  • At no other time did I feel the blogging community has played such a pivotal role in influencing people than at the promotion of this movie. Jill and I were excited to watch if only because people like Pam, and even Jessica Zafra herself, who btw is also doing the subtitles for it, were literally screaming their heads off in praises, so the only natural thing to do really is to revert to sheep mode and go forth. Naturally.

    I’m posting here a letter from my shimmering editor, Pam Pastor, Chief of Correspondents for 2bu!, Inquirer’s Lifestyle Section.

    The first thing I really thought of was to ask her to make doubly sure it was really from who it came from, however she’s apparently already done her homework and they’re visiting the Payatas Soup Kitchens on December 21. Here it is in full:

    America’s Army Download. In Progress.

    After a very very stressfull whole of last week, I had pretty much decided to just stay in and zzz the day away, but my gaming finger got itchy, and I was getting bored with NBALive 2k6.

    I turned to Google for whatever downloadable game out there, and after scratching Need For Speed (3.5gb., too big), and others, I came across America’s Army, available quite conveniently as one big FREE 903mb exe file. After some searching for torrents and several failed attempts to download I managed to miraculously find a working one, here:

    m|ph blog update

    Just a real quick heads up post to show off the new oct-nov issue m|ph header:

    It took me three days to make (mostly think up). Unfortunately it’s very late as I think the new issue should be coming out soon so this’ll say byebye before you know it.

    Motorola ROKR Phonetools Setup

    motorola phonetools setupI need to submit the Motorola ROKR review by today, but Saturday afternoon’s the only time I get to see Jill so I need to get this out this morning. It’ll also require an interview with Gary Ramirez, Managing Director of Digital Exchange at Glorietta 3, to get some quotes re the Motorola Store there, which is the only one in the country. At this very moment, he’s waiting for me to call.

    SO WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW FOR ME TO UPDATE MY BLOG RIGHT?
