“I can’t believe you’re still clicking that!”

Either we’re just too curious or we’re not really paying attention. Facebook was not created yesterday… and so were those malicious links and applications that always appear in your news feed.

Has Friendster given up?

Has Friendster given up? This is the impression I got when I received my copy of the email from the social network.

Hooked on Bejeweled

I have so far been successful in warding off the curiosity to play Farmville, Fishville, Mafia Wars, Restaurant City and Café World. But guess what got me? It’s the good ol’ fashion Bejeweled Blitz game. Yes, the plain game that we used to play in Yahoo! is now also in Facebook and is so far [...]

The Earth Song

With everything that is happening around us – Haiti, Chile and the onslaught of Ondoy and Pepeng last year in the Philippines, it is not really impossible to think that Mother Nature is getting back at us. Indeed we have done so much damaged to our planet, and now those actions have caused the Earth [...]
