I don’t know what it is…

The saying: “first come, first served,” is very elementary.

But what is interesting about it is that it speaks about the very tenet of what is supposed to be the normative expression of justice in an avenue where consensus is supposed to be built, it is very similar to a situation when you fall in line to avail of something (like say at a fastfood chain). Where of course it is only fair for those who are at the front of the line to be accommodated first since they did made an effort to be on time or at least to qualify them as deserving of the commodified service because they came first from the others.

the end is the beginning is the end

Earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, economic collapse, political uprisings the list goes on.

Poking Friendster goodbye | Part 2: The end of an era

The end of Friendster signals the end of an era. Its end gives us a hint of what real-life is. It is embellished with change as the only thing consistent this journey that we call life. It is the end of an era because it signals the end of some notable things that I believe I am not alone when it comes to encounter that I had back when I was still active there.

Osama may be dead...

...but still the terrorists have still won

He may be dead but still majority of us refuse to acknowledge this as true since we find no body. All the images in the web are Photoshoped pictures.
