Pike Ramirez - Kayod Kabayo

If you guys watch Storyline often like me then you probably noticed that this song plays as an insert song on some episodes.

The simplicity of the song, with just the guitar and vocals really works with the mood of the show. Its really haunting. I really wish I could get my hands on the full version though.

Online Libel: A threat to internet freedom?

New law punishes hacking, online libel, Internet child porn
from: GMA News Online

So this has been a hot topic lately and wow just in time, a law just got signed for great justice!

Now I'm not gonna talk about hacking (which is still cool) or child porn, because we all know know those are pure evil. But more about online libel, because I think some people could abuse it or ruin some people's fun.

But what is libel anyway?

A libel is a malicious, false statement in written media, a broadcast, or otherwise published words.

Ok, so a malicious, false statement, which means something that intends to do harm. But what about those posts meant for shits and giggles?

This is what I'm a bit concerned about. Like if someone tells you online that you look like a dinasour, its not just about that someone who made the false statement. Its also about the people who view it online. People should know when to laugh/shrug it off and when to take it seriously. Like this Cyberbullying thing that was mentioned in this article. If I saw a poster like that online I'd first think it was just there for a prank. Its the age of Photoshop after all. I get that not all people know about it, but hey now you know! Although in my opinion that's one tasteless troll.

I just think that people online should have this certain awareness that these things happen and they should think twice whether to believe it or not. This kinda reminds me of that certain celebrity's war against Encyclopedia Dramatica. That was really gold lol.

But I'm not saying that having fun is good entirely. I mean there are those posts which are really meant to attack people, or tasteless comments that are only thrown because of misplaced emotions. Now that's not playing nice anymore.

The problem is though, it seems its up to the lawyers what constitutes to online libel. I mean what if the lawyer doesn't get the meme lol.

I think the intention of this law is good. It just reminds people to be even more responsible to what they do online. But I'm just saying, that the internet has already been a breeding ground of attention whores who try to be funny. So check first if its legit or not.

Pepsi Pogi: Not as pogi as I expected

Finally found a place where they have this blonde Pepsi so I checked it out.

So what can I say, smelling it at first I kinda thought it would taste like orange. Took my first sip and I found out was right. Its something like a weak Royal taste with an apple flavor kinda like after taste. Gulped the whole thing and it wasn't that memorable.

I liked Pepsi Twist more, which was that Pepsi which had that lemon taste. This Pepsi was not as pogi as the commercial suggested, "may itsura lang."

Karl Villuga - Bawat Hakbang

The winner of this year's Philpop Music Festival which seems to have been questioned since it is said to have violated the rules of the competition.

But you know what, its not about that right now. I just think its a good song, which reminds me to get my hands on the Philpop album soon.

Storyline: Jesse

I remember the first time I saw him was when he was said to have been blamed for the Manila Hostage Crisis. He was already the DILG Secretary that time so I was oblivious to what he was as mayor of Naga.

Through this episode of Storyline which I believe is a replay/edited version of an episode when they interviewed him, as well as other stories from people who knew him, I can say that he is a big loss to the country.

What I really liked is how how to says that the city's achievements are not only by him, but by the people. I noticed he kept on saying this over and over, that he owes a lot to them and really believes in them.

The most important ingredient of leadership is character. Most of the proficiencies can be learned. But what's inside you is something that's difficult to change. - Secretary Jesse Robredo

What the country needs first and foremost is someone who has true intentions of serving the people. Not just leading them but serving them which can mean sacrifices and a certain amount of knowledge to help the people in this difficult times.

Thank you for being such an inspiration. Rest in peace.

American Idol 11 | Phillip Phillips - Volcano

To be honest, Philip was never my favorite. I liked the fact that he always held a guitar though, its a thing for me I guess.

But when I saw this performance, I was completely awed. It was totally the most defining performance of the season. His vocals was just perfect for the song. Even until now when I listen to this, my ears still enjoys how much soul he has put on this version. I even checked the original one by Damien Rice and I can say that I like Philip's version more.

If he's up to doing soulful songs like this in the future then I might have to keep an eye out for him.

Word of the Lourd: Tsinelas

I never really got into those Havaianas, they always looked like just fancy pricey slippers to me. I remember owning a pair of Highlander slippers though. It cost around 300 Php which I bought in the market near our place. Those babies went through a lot and lasted for 3 years.
