The head of Informatics here in the Philippines (yes, he added us as friends) shared around a Korean piece of work that entails how Koreans who loved their country lifted it up to become a globally competitive economy, while ours suffered because "Filipinos aren't crying for our own country".

The stain of being a subservient race for centuries who was raised to look down on ourselves as a nation and only want to leave this pitiful specks of dust to live in a land flowing in milk and honey has been cleverly translated as a "You don't love your country enough" spiel.

Hell, we don't love our country enough because it doesn't love us back.

well, this talk just cries for more RED HORSE.

ate, isang bucket pa nga.

in a globalized world- a country is just a country. a race is just a race. a culture is just a culture- that we can all adapt.

kaso walang redhorse.

so- in other news.

Kung Hei Fat Choi! :confetti

I celebrated it smack dab in the middle of the most auspicious spot in Makati at this time of year (said to be Mandarin Oriental, Manila: according to the hosts of the Chinese New Year Celebration- that is yet to be proven, but whatevs).

spirit of the occasion. I sincerely prayed for money, money, money. And career, career, career.

I like getting into traditional stuff like that. And internalizing the mood. The party is only as good as the people in it, and you can only feel the happiness you allow yourself to feel.

Dear God,

If ever I was an internet troll in my life, seriously, I regret it now. Can you please let me zap all these trolls away without a guilty conscience for stifling free speech?

Also, Bill Gates signature reads like Gill Bates. I guess that's where they got the idea for his Arcanum spoof.

Lol, Bogart just posted a ("fake") poster of Star Cinema doing a live-action Flame of Recca movie.

Every time I get satisfied with how the posters are behaving, a troll from somewhere resurfaces, so I'll just say it's a work in progress

.

A while back I was reading some necro'ed posts from 1999 that made me realize that people back then were much more polite. I probably would've been the troll :lol:

Die Hard 5 synopsis: 2 Russians betray each other, carnage ensues.

baboysai · Feb 13, 2013

would it still be Bruce Willis/?

hunter71485 · Feb 13, 2013

yep, and now, he's joined by an Australian portraying his son, John McClane Jr. Junior works for the CIA, which his father didn't know about since the divorce and estrangement that happened between Die hard 3 and 4. He asked a "friend" to help him get details about his kid's situation in Moscow, and decides to "take a vacation" there.

What I love about the movie is the numerous references from the film series (Lucy, his daughter, tells him "not to make things worse" which, this being a Die Hard film, inevitably happens), and McClane Sr.'s knowledge of espionage pop culture.

you mean Varro from Spartacus.

baboysai · Feb 13, 2013

can't relate. :cookiestare

never was a fan of "action" genre. it bores me to death for some reason. like I have to think super hard to understand the plot because they all talk too fast and in the end it all boils down to eye-candy and that the plot never really mattered in the first place, and I just wasted my brain cells thinking when everything was just supposed to be visual and cool.

but meh, I'm a girl, so.

mangadictus · Feb 13, 2013

nothing wrong with that. men just like action by nature.
