Watch Orosman at Zafira. It’s beautiful, powerful, moving, inspiring. And it shows how a classic by the great Francisco Baltazar can remain so vibrant with today’s modern sensibilities. It’s perhaps the best play I’ve ever seen, considering every single play performed by the Dulaang UP is spectacular. More importantly, you will enjoy it. You will be struck by it.
Yesterday marked the beginning of the UP Centennial celebrations, and it was a blast. No, it was crazy! If you don’t have enough heart—and I mean both the love of UP and the will to wade through the crowd—you wouldn’t enjoy it as much. It’s easy for students and alumni who have been harassed by the pressures of college life to undervalue UP, but as someone who has lived and […]
Everyone, I hope you’re enjoying your Christmas. Last year I mentioned our furry Belen, and if you were still wondering about that one, here’s a look. Maligayang Pasko! Maligayang Kaarawan ni Hesus!
You might have heard PayPal has arrived in the Philippines both for sending and receiving funds, and that the ideal way of receiving your funds would be through a debit card—rather than a credit card—which is provided solely by UnionBank. Setting up the link between the Philippine bank and the online payment site was hardly troublesome, however I’ve tried withdrawing funds from PayPal over to my UnionBank account since November […]
I’ve known November to be National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, for the longest time now—way before blogging became this popular. It’s quite a catchy idea (the nickname helps, too) but I was never really attracted to the idea of scrambling to write 50,000 words within thirty days. What would I do with a crammed novel, anyway? (Am I contradicting myself about the beauty of cramming?) Though it might just […]
I am. And I’m pretty excited to find a Taga-Q.C. as a blog so specific yet so close to home. The content’s surprisingly good. I would love to see more posts like the Timbooktu bookstore, or even Ateneo’s real world rendition of Frank Warren’s Post Secret, one great filterblog. You’ll notice the posts I mentioned are a bit Katipunan-centric. Maybe I’m waxing nostalgic over Gayuma or craving for Banapple that […]
Two weeks ago I tagged along with my mom on an international conference, the ICAS5 or International Convention of Asia Scholars, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She read two papers and was chair for one of the panels. Since I finally finished school (I’m not the type who skips school for any leisure traveling) and can work anywhere Risk has an internet connection, nothing was stopping me from finally stepping out […]
Yet another one of our projects, which we hope to be the central source for comics in the Philippines, has launched last June 18. If you’re a comic artist, you can get free blog hosting at Komiks.ph. Yes, free. We’ve been lazily planning for it for the past couple of months but suddenly set a deadline when the ToyCon came. (There Garro picked up a bunch of indie komiks to […]
Since a picture paints a thousand words, I’ll let it do the talking: Just one short note: I once wrote that I had to choose between Design and Web Standard, for which I chose Design Standard, but Adobe sent me Design Premium, my ideal choice! I quickly asked Regnard about it and he said, “surprise!” It seems Noel Perlas got surprised himself! Thank you Regnard! Thank you Adobe!
