I wish I knew more about this . I'm a closet (to my parents) agnostic-borderline atheist filipino but because of my theological studies which developed my initial secular humanism values (when I tried to work out their internal inconsistencies). It was in searching for my filipino indentity in its own history and the secularist heroes of the revolution that opened my eyes to the hypocrisy of the church. When gaming made me an avid history lover, that sealed the coffin, intellectually, for me of my catholic views. When a priest betrayed my trust and damned me to what I thought was everlasting hell, was when I "rose up" reborn as an agnostic and slowly towards a more enriched humanistic direction. Reading God is not great is a slap of cold water to a mind that did not know the errors of its own reasoning. It highlighted a lot of my miss placed bias and reminded me of very old wounds I dare not move, or suffer them opening again. I think, the book would have been great for

Card art . Must resist gregariousness and gamer OC...., but the flesh is weak.... I am long overdue with some new art and I need the practice. I'm working with Hal (over in the sjgboards) with some mass combat cards. I am particularly excited in making them because they are small and it is good that I am trying to figure out a faster process. Since the website is on the low priority list. I'm doing my own projects . There are alot of them and when I get home I can't help but just relax. Slowly I'm trying to gain momentum and fix sh!t and get my head in the game. Currently, a lot of ground work has been put. Research that has come up with optimistic results. Anyway, I still have to plow that field thoroughly before anything has hope of bearing fruit. Check out Darren Tan in Artcentral and deviant art Thomas . hey dude, hope you get my emails.

Whats happening . PGDM: Well mom and dad agreed about my approach to the MBA. Which is taking up the Post-Grad Diploma of Management. I've noticed my brothers and I share this common learning pattern where we have better retention and patience if we can practice what we learn as soon as we learn it. Althouth our expectations are different: mom wants me to work full time while I study and I want to work half time so that I can also work on my rackets. Sales: After some talk mom wants me to work in sales. I told her I $uck dealing with people and I'd rather capitalize on an advantage than bring up a weakness. Amidst the conversation she tells me that its not entirely dealing with people which happens to be Marketing. Her explanation is that it is more about strategical and looking for those who have potential openings. I asked her to elaborate and she says: its like just having the gall to walk into a building, ask around, and meet the business and people who are in it to see i

For the Gamer in me . I'm considering taking Post-Graduate Diploma on Management in La Salle (my Alma Matter). I consider it a level up towards applying the critical thinking I've learned in my Gamer life onto Magery... or Money Making- "The only Magic that Matters". Still I think most of the talented Gamers I know would ace this and would do better than I would... if they have any reason to go into it. Typically I'd "attach" myself on those who can teach me more and who'se natural abilities exceed mine. I'm not looking forward to the Group Work since I am a prickly kind of person. Talked to Melchior . Oh well, if he ever wonders what made me walk that direction he should know Nikos has a very strong hand in such events. It takes a lot of growing up on my part... A LOT of growing up. Canvasing Artists . Found one (with possible access to some) and already laying the initial viability study for my Media production business. I've emailed the d

Its a busy monday and I'm slowly getting my working groove on. There is so much to do and not much time. Website New Website Look for Artists to develop new Impact presentation (the old one is more than 4 years old).

Everyone seems to be bashing baguio . Most of the complaints was on how it has become. Mom would compare it to Quiapo, which was a bit extreme. Still for someone who can't compare it to what it was under the care of the American bases, It wasn't too bad. I guess it was really the expectations that got older folks down about Baguio. One would wonder what there was for someone like my wife and me. Being total nerds we had a bit of a cerebral and an emotional approach to the trip. One particular challenge was my own relectance to travell that had any measure of inconvenience (even when I'm used to 4 hour drives). "If I wanted to go someplace, I would read about it" was my say about going to far of places, even knowing what Locals had to say and that of a book would be worlds different. As we were forced to pass by the towns and cities since the SCTEX had its limits, I was visibly disgusted because of what I know about how dynasties tend to "rob" progress a

I'm in vacation here in the Philippines' mountain province and former American military base, Baguio (“Bag-yo”) City. One of the only places in my country you can pay for horse rides and hikes for up to 8 hours at $8 an hour. I was talking to the horsemen who provide these services and care for the horses and here are some interesting answers that arm chair discussion should consider. These horses are 12.2 hands high (at their hithers). They are around 550lbs (250kgs) on average and eat, at a minium, 6kg of feed on a work day and 4kg when there is no work. Larger specimens eat as much as 8kg. These ponies are modestly cared for and can be ridden in the lightly forested mountain trail about 8 hours with reasonable breaks now and then (to feed and to rest). This horse would riding saddle, stirrups, bit and bridle of up to 35lbs (30 to 45lbs). They can carry along with the riding gear up to 300lbs (but cannot gallop at this level of encumbrance). In all the horse would fall under

We are here in baguio. left at 400 and arrived here at 10. accodring to the odometer it was 275+ km. Along nlex the fast speed there was 110, on sctex up to 150 and some faster. Slowly acclimating. it was a pretty long needed walk exploring what the market had to offer... although it was the wrong market to look for bokkens and bows. anyway gonna eat.

I've been busy lately . If you follow my wife's blog, they you've heard about the scam we fell into. According to our driver, its a typical scam where they take the opportunity to hit you while your moving and they are “still” to create the illusion that you hit them. Anyway, there was panic which I'm really PO'ed that it ruined my more calm approach to the problem. It cost us 1k and in return a lesson learned and another notch in my already riddled distrust of cabs. I heard money is even getting harder these days. So expect more scams in the future. Things that Pissed me off: You know how I hate the Makati Traffic Police (especially their hazardous driving farce). Its strange why they don't bilk the counter flow instigators in makati ave. Its just so weird. Taken . It is a good action move, sans any details that will color expectations wrong. I happen to really like it. It makes you think that if you were part of CIA or special forces with due warning nobody sh

Its like a wasted P80 . The Smart Bro bandwidth sucks half the time (although it feels like most often). Damn, PLDT is making me jump around hoops getting my internet connected. I'm waiting for my data would be received and its been zero for the past 20 mins. At 10P per half hour I'm pretty ripped off. Not only is this expensive per minute but the Internet can't connect while I'm on the clock. I started trying to write this since Lunch! Damn still no internet and my palm is able to access the smart internet better than the smart bro, which is making me feel worse about smart bro and the problems getting internet here. Get my juices going . I'm in a lame position right now and even if my gaming projects would normally get my juices going, what would be the point? I don't want to get to a depressed state but I'm not in a good position to act on what I know will get my juices going. Looking for potential players has been what I've been doing for so long and

Projects to bring back my enthusiasm . I've been listening to AGoT lately, having read Lisa J. Steele's Fief has put a lot of foundation on how things work. Feif being a gaming book was very helpful, and made me find the Song of Ice and Fire books very very accurate despite their access to contraceptives and narcotic pain killers as potent as morphine. Reading up on Byzantine Politics has given me a taste for Mysteries and GURPS mysteries has given me experience in working the structure of a mystery. Anarchy of Families, Current Events in Philippine Politics, Filipinos at War, 15th C agriculture has and 19th Century History has armed me very well in developing Mahadlika. I've been heavily influence and thinking lately. I've been amassing some technical proficiency in executing my business plan and these days I've have need to find free lancers: writers and artists. Personally I have no time to work on my own art, despite my own skills (which would require practice a

The project will take a little longer . Reasons why I can't update. Actually my lack of blogging is cluttering up my head. I like writing and forgetting, it helps keeps things organized. The project has extended past the point I can sustain productively, so I'm pretty depressed and lazy these days. I can't wait to be out of the project and slowly working on my own little projects to rebuild my confidence and get my goals in order. This project has taken too long and is beyond my mental endurance already. I'm getting help to finish its last parts.
