Virtual reality rocks your, OUR, world
Admit it, it does.
The best example I can give is Fang’s blog. People, us, you, me post messages to the flock like they’re real people and we talk to the like they really do exist – yeah, we; which includes me ’cause I am a big, big, fan of Maximum Ride and I, myself, have a few posts at Fly On!. And the fact that a lot of kids and teens “talk” to these guys, which we all know, don’t really exist, tells us that virtual reality is already a part of our lives, rocks our world and can never be erased.
But, hey, I’m not being a freakin’ KJ here. This should not be a bummer to you guys. I love it, too. It’s just that, this virtual reality is fun and this is what I can say about it: it rocks!
As Fang always says,
Fly on!
P.S. Well, maybe they really do exist. So long as we believe they do, they will…
The irony/weirdness/oddity/however-else-you-may-call-it of poverty in the Philippines
I bet all of us know that the Philippines is one poor country – financially that is. A third-world country. High poverty rate, high corruption rate, low GDP and stuff that tell us so. But sometimes, I just can’t help asking or wondering if the Philippines really is poor.
Thing #1. Almost everybody’s got a cellphone. Even those people who you wouldn’t think of having one. PUV drivers, peanut vendors (No, not honey-roasted peanuts but just some deep-fried peanuts, I guess, that’s how you call it.), everyone! Yeah, we have prepaid services here in the Philippines but still.
Thing #2. Go to a squatter’s area and you’ll find concrete houses with almost complete arrays of appliances.
Thing #3. Vendors, mobile vendors, who were previously walking or riding bikes are now riding motorcycles
which can consume a fairly good amount of the freakin’ expensive gasoline! I guess, that’s what you call progress.
How do these guys handle to get these things?!? Well, I guess, maybe, just maybe, it really is progress.
I am so posting this!
Maximum Ride manga news!
Yeah, I know, I know. You guys might have already seen these from Fang’s blog. But still. I. Am. Posting. This.
This is how the guys from Maximum Ride looks like – at least in the manga. (Finally! We get to see them.) Though Nudge looks so, so weird.

The manga is certainly a must-get, must-buy, must read!
