I have not read all of Neil Gaiman’s (@neilhimself) works, but for some reason I love him to bits and I wait for his New Year’s greetings yearly. This 2013 it goes like this: It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world. So this is my wish, a […]

For you, this 2013: Here and Now
Sometime in August 2012, I fasted from social media for thirty days. It was such a cleansing experience.

Because Toes Get Fingered Too
I guess I was just a bit too excited that I’m finally back on the mats. Three weeks is a bit too long and my training sessions have been sporadic lately so I got a few “Hey Pena’s back” faces again which is usually my cue to shriek “Hello!” with my usual “Yes I know […]

Here I shall explain how it feels like to not be on social media for 14 days. But first off, when I say social media, I mean, mostly, consumption of the top 4 which I find myself mindlessly typing on the browser or tapping on my mobile phone: Twitter (which is my greatest addiction thus […]
There are four things that I missed today, on my fourth day without social media consumption: That Tito Sotto made an interesting speech about the RH Bill. I will need to research on that. And perhaps finally read the full RH Bill text. It isn’t too late, is it? That PAL offers unlimited domestic flights […]
Five: The number of tweets I post per hour. Five million: The number of times my thumb slides to refresh Twitter on my iPhone everyday. Okay, fine, that’s an exaggeration. But to give you an idea of the amount of content I consume everyday through social networks: I currently follow 1,061 people on Twitter and […]
There is no really such point in life in which there is absolutely nothing to do. The only time a person ever gets bored is when he is in a situation where he is bound to do things that he would rather be doing. It could be that he is a student enduring a class […]
