Side A

Pwedeng sabihin na Side A na yata ang pinaka-paborito kong banda. At least 3 beses ko sila napanood ng live at binili ko lahat ng album nila mula unang album hanggang Will I Ever at Remember December, bago ako "nawala" sa fandom kasi naging busy na. First time ko sila napanood, their line-up was their longest running one: Joey G, Joey B, Kelly B, Ernie S & Naldy G. 

Eheads ang pinaka-iconic Pinoy band sa palagay ko, pero sila 1 beses ko lang pinanood at siguro yung first 3 albums lang nila ang binili ko. Pero kasi yung musical abilities, song-writing, and performances ng Side A ay ibang level. 

Ngayon lang ulit ako "nagbalik-loob" sa Side A at ngayon ko lang nalaman na iba na pala ang line-up nila; wala na si Kelly, Joey G at Joey B. Pero ito ang na-realize ko din sa Side A ngayong 2023 - mahina ang social media presence nila. Sayang, mas kilala pa siguro sila lalo na internationally, pero I guess hindi nila talaga aim yon. Or mahina ang marketing support behind them, including yung pag-handle ng media in general. Napanood ko ang interview ni Boy Abunda kay Joey G 9 years ago -- medyo underwhelming ang mga sagot ni Joey G. Pwedeng ang dahilan noon ay ang mga tanong ni Boy or ang production team (hinanda ba nila si Joey G sa mga tanong or on the spot talaga?). Or baka hindi lang talaga strength ng Side A ang media handling (or ayaw nila; hindi nila prayoridad iyon). 

Kasi nga mga henyo talaga sila pagdating sa musika, at siguro kontento sila sa mga buhay at pamilya nila sa labas ng musika. And maybe selfish on my part - I just want to see more of Side A.

#didyouknow that .1+.2-.3 does not equal zero in probably all computer programs?

That includes pieces of software like Matlab, Python, and so on. They’re all just good at hiding that fact. Here’s an explanation: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/floatingpoint.html

"Trellis" is used in Filipino English to really mean what word in North American English? #didyouknow

The answer is…

FedEx Philippines... really? @FedExHelp

I expected a package to arrive before I fly on Friday, July 11, 2014. I was going to bring said package to the event I was attending over the weekend.

The package was attempted to be delivered on Wednesday, July 9, but I wasn't at the office when the courier was there. My hours are from 3 o'clock to 12 midnight so it wasn't until I got to the office that I learned there was an attempt to deliver the package --- and that it was FedEx doing so. It was going to be my first time to interact with FedEx.

God and National Anthems #didyouknow #prustrations

There is no explicit mention of "God" in the Philippine National Anthem, whereas in Canada's and the United States', there are:

"God keep our land glorious and free!" (from O Canada.) 

"Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land, Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."" (from Star-Spangled Banner.)

I haven't checked on other national anthems, but considering that at least 97.5% of people in the Philippines belong to a religion that believes in one all-powerful God and only around 71.5% and around 75% in Canada and the US, respectively, I found it odd.

Okay, atheists and disillusioned Catholics, fire away!

Some people claim that PNoy's camp rigged the 2010 elections in their favor.

So now I'm confused.

1. Did PNoy intentionally let Mar Roxas lose to Binay?
2. Or was Binay really PNoy's preferred VP?
3. Or PNoy didn't care about the VP position as much as his or the other positions?

Facts, please. They're better than opinions.
