he dominant cost of waiting is an emotional one: stress, boredom, that nagging sensation that one’s life is slipping away.

Something the management of CD-R King must read. Of all the stores, this is where i feel most stressed-out while waiting.

The situation outside Batasan was reported to be violent because of the confrontation between police and activists. But the most violent act that day took place inside Batasan. It lasted for more than an hour, broadcast live by the media, and livetweeted by netizens. Violence is the only appropriate word to describe Pnoy’s disregard for truth, reason, and democracy. Violence is the only consequence of Pnoy’s anti-poor policies. There is injustice, inequality, and oppression in the archipelago where a few oligarchs wield political and economic control. Violence is the real state of the nation.

Learn something new everyday

Added a new tool on my utility belt yesterday: e-book publishing.

When I received a long document to read yesterday, I felt the need to transfer it to my e-Reader. What I thought would be a few minutes worth of work turned out to be something that took the entire afternoon until the evening, as I had trouble figuring out how to produce a decently made e-book in mobi format with a proper and linked table of contents.

(Turned out all I needed was amazon's plug-in for InDesign).

I have always believed that it would never hurt to learn something new when the opportunity to do so presents itself.

And when you do learn something new, it can be rewarding which was something I felt as I finished reading the document on thee-reader.

It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were in books… The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through radios and televisors, but are not.
