Submitted by noid on April 15, 2008 - 1:06pm.Wala talaga ko dapat sa Walk for Truth kung saan nagmartsa ang mga tao galing Adamson University hanggang Korte Suprema para mag-file ng motion for reconsideration ukol sa 9-6 na desisyon ng Korte Suprema pabor sa petisyon ni Dating National Economic Development Autority (NEDA) Director Romulo ‘Romy’ Neri na huwag isiwalat ng huli ang napag-usapan nila ni Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo ukol sa ZTE-NBN Broadband Deal dahil sa ang napag-usapan daw nila ay sakop ng Executive Privilege.
Sid Gomez Hildawa, 45
Submitted by noid on April 1, 2008 - 5:00pm.Yesterday afternoon when I woke up, I was shocked to read a message on my cell phone from Kimi Tuvera, a batchmate from the '94 UP Baguio National Writers Workshop that another batchmate, Sid Hildawa passed away. I couldn't believe the news since I just saw Sid, if memory serves me right, last January 21 at the Happy Mondays poetry reading at Mag:net Katipunan during the launch of Marjorie Evasco's poetry installation -- I learned just now that it was Sid who did the artwork.

DSL World
Submitted by noid on October 4, 2006 - 5:21pm. EnglishThe Bayantel DSL technician finally came this morning -- earlier than expected: I was expecting them this afternoon. Actually, I was originally scheduled for Thursday, but my date with advanced technology was, as you might have already guessed, rudely interrupted by typhoon Milenyo.
At any rate, I'm now wondering how I ever survived without broadband. Yup, created my sites with dial-up! It's like living in Plato's cave -- you didn't know there was a totally different world out there, brighter, more developed, and you were only seeing reflected shadows on the wall.
D.C. Sillada's 'Convergence'
Submitted by noid on September 21, 2006 - 1:08am. EnglishJust came from the week-long event organized by artist Danny C. Sillada at the Podium Lounge (2nd floor). Actually didn't realize that it was a seven-day event until today. Danny informed us that we missed his performance as a 'juramentado' at the opening last Monday. But as the cliche goes, better late...
At any rate, we were able to witness the reading of Vim Nadera's poetry, performances by the performance group Tupada, and a fashion show-cum-performance art by the designer herself, Lorina Javier. The alternative music duo of Elemento also played their unique brand of music throughout the entire evening.
