Bad writing is offensive to the senses.
July 13, 2008Here is the blog: askgreg.i.ph and this is the author’s entry.
This is a copy of my reply to that entry in the blog I found.
Applying theories in the Philippines
I have yet to synthesize my random thoughts into a coherent proposal. I want to apply what I can learn, from the internet and from other places, in the Philippines.
Life in the glamorous cities of Manila.
I’ve stayed in the Philippines for my entire life. As I posted earlier I’ve yet to go around the rest of the Philippines. In fact, I haven’t gotten around most of Manila even.
The National Capital Region (NCR) for brevity is a hodgepodge of cities. I found several blogs that cover the subject I’ve most wanted to write about, the beauty of the cities of Metro-Manila (especially the City of Manila itself) and the complexities of living.
The City of Manila is a beautiful city, it may be old and overcrowded but its beautiful. The people there go in and out, around and through some of the oldest buildings in the Philippines. My friend is trying to flesh out all of his experiences together in the city as a blog. Here’s the MetroRat!
Another blog is about living life in the projects. A blog that I already linked in the links pane on my page but I’ll link to them nonetheless here. The projects in NCR are mostly well-organized communities designed to provide low cost housing for government employees. This was the concept back in the day but the projects have transformed from being a purely residential site to having a smattering of bars, schools, internet cafes and hardware supply stores. Check out Life in the Projects.
Best Games of the Week
I accidentally broke my Diablo II character when I unplugged my external harddrive. It sucked so I went around the net looking for something fun to see. The Beijing 2008 Olympics game is visually great, gameplay might be a different issue. Historically most Olympics themed games suck, but with how this looks it just might actually be fun.
Another video is about the upcoming Diablo III release.
It looks great though it seems more lively than the previous 2 diablos. The report is right in stating that the previous 2 incarnations of the game have been in really dark settings. There is a funereal feel to the lighting and soundtrack of the game that serves only to heighten the good versus evil concept. The new Diablo III looks like a FUN fun game, the game that kids will play for hours instead of a gripping nerve wracking experience.
I’ll just wait and see for Diablo III and BJ 2008 Olympics.
