RookRocks Yeah, thanks to the OFWs. But hey, we should feel sorry for them too. They are the one who made the peso that way, but they are also the main victims. You suddenly can't decide if the hero is the one who saves or the one who needs saving. Not until the...

Currently, there are about 800 believers here including me. I can say the number is really small, but i think faith is not based on number or how many believe on a particular religion, it is the qualities in life, the attitude we...

RookRocks What made you join this religion? There must be something that it offers that you deemed lacking in other religions. Can you provide us a link of a good source of information about it?

RookRocks Why ask foreigners when you know that their perception of the country will be vague if not ill-informed? You already said that the Philippines is getting worst, and that perception alone can lead to very biased answers. It's better to ask the people who live...

Many of us Filipinos have wished that it would be cooler here in the Philippines. Even today, in the coldest season of the year, it is still noticeably hot. Although it gets cooler in the evening, most of the day the air is warm...

RookRocks Snow would be nice. Pleasing to the eyes, cool to the touch. But parroting the ones above, it really isn't practical. And as you know, Filipinos prioritize practicality than aesthetics and comfort. Further than the human factor, we should also see what it...

RookRocks 5 years or so ago, she ranked among my most favorite singers. Her "Complicated" and "Happy Ending" still are among my favorites. But lately I've lost her. Maybe because I was exposed to so many genres and singers lately. She's good, and the lyrics of her song...

To me, Labor Unions aren't much different than Big Business. I mean, I see how the union leaders live, and it doesn't seem any different than how corporate executives live. Both have salesmen who go out and use whatever means...

RookRocks This is very american in ideology. Putting everything down to the individual, centering the responsibilities of progress on the worker. And this is a very narrow take on the aspect of individual development. For one thing, it neglects the fact that not...

RookRocks Of course. In school we must not only develop our academic skills, but our social/psychological skills as well. Extra curricular activities extend our networks, ingrain good attitudes, provides application for our knowledge, and makes us *wise* and not just...

RookRocks First of all, I don't think anyone should laugh at you just because you read romance. I know the attitude of some people on it, but reading romance has its positive side too. And the negative accusations are often baseless and were just born out of...

RookRocks This is actually one bad ideology in America, where they portray poverty as no one's fault but the person. It brings a social problem to the level of personal trouble, not considering the many structural constraints that impedes individual social mobility....

RookRocks Yes! My thoughts exactly. In helping people, they should look at the grand scheme of things, rather than helping isolated cases. The Ultra Stampede was a terrible time in game show history, and just goes to show how far people can go just for an opportunity...

RookRocks In some way, I agree with Marxist ideology, and to relegate it to a mere narrative without basis is a fallacy committed by those who are not very familiar to it. Meritocracy is also a grand ideology, propagated by capitalism to the point that individuals of...

RookRocks Soap operas are bad too if they show that the poor will someday, by some twist of fate, become rich. It's false ideology and it is oftentimes internalized by people to the point that they will have false hopes. But yeah, in a way we know that that they are not...
