The Supreme(Not??) Court of the Philippines

Few days ago, my girlfriend shared to me something really disappointing and disturbing. Apparently, she was also 'shaken' about what she learned which is something really sad for the country. It also stirred the same emotion from me.

The Supreme Court and its Justices are looked up by most Filipinos as most intact when in comes to integrity. Of course, this is compared to the other departments of the Philippine Government. They are supposedly the "good guys" of the government where corruption seemed to be as common as flies.

One of the Justices seemed to have shrugged off plagiarism in one of his delicate decisions ever. I just learned that the 'lack of malicious intent' and the incapacity of computer softwares can now be used as excuses to 'plagiarize' yet not quite.

This is probably one good example of correcting a mistake by another mistake. Justice Del Castillo tried to escape the call to resign by the UP Law Professors by making such a lame excuse. The excuse is so lame that even a regular college student would be ashamed to even use such.

Is admitting to have committed a mistake too hard that he can be excused to be dumb with coming up with poor excuses?

I am no lawyer. I wanted to be one though. But this is not even a hindrance for me to be smart and yet be humble enough to admit fault in every screw up I cause.

Smart or not, we are humans. One of our curse is our imperfection. We snap every so often. Being smart is no guarantee of perfection. Not quite.

Even Rosanna Roces is not as Flawless as she used to be and she knows and swallows it. So why can't our Justices admit fault when they see one?

Talk JOLOGS

I was reading some of my favorite blogs when I chance upon this site which I really did not intend to click on. The link directed me to a site which has a very simple construction which, I must say, is not typical for its purpose.

The site offers to translate what ever you want to say in "Jologs Language". I am actually not sure if there is such a term. I have nothing against those who patronize or are themselves true-blue jologs. I even believe that there is a jologs in each of us somehow. It's just that some people are just so full of being jologs that it shows in how they dress up, talk, and text.

Let's face it, the Jologs is now considered as one of the fashion statements and you can see them almost everywhere now. So to those who are not a fan of being jologs, just hold your piece and let them be.

So here is the site I am talking about. It's called The Jologs-inator. Just type what you want to say in a 'normal' way, and the site will translate it in jologs terminology. I may not be a fan of those jolog caps and colorful Supra Shoes, but I had a laugh in translating some words in 'jologs'.

Jologs or not, have fun.

There's Nothing Like Good Customer Service

Just few minutes ago I was in one of the well-known BPO's in the Metro. For a company known as one of the best, their 'receptionist' was not as friendly and courteous as one would expect. The experience with this receptionist's way of addressing visitors and future employees of the company left a bad taste in my mouth. I just hope the company will be able to make it up with their excellence in what they are known for---oddly enough, customer service.

Things like this should not be taken for granted by even the big guns in every business industry. Customer experience is a vital aspect of a company's reputation and later on their business. If customer service sucks, possible clients or customers might not even be interested to even check out the good stuff the company has to offer.

Companies who are aware of this fact, don't take this for granted and would really invest on improving their front-liners.

I will be coming back to that company soon and I just hope she's going to be nicer to people next time. Unless she wants her superiors to call her attention after some "little bird" advised them about her bitchiness. :-)

The Legend of The Seeker: Season 3???

As I was browsing the net, I stumbled into a buzz about one of the TV Series that I have been following. I learned of a big chance that the series wont get another chance to air for its Third Season. Now that should raise a lot of complaints from those following the said TV series. I just recently found out that the said show does have a lot of followers.

The Legend of the Seeker, like most of the series I follow, really didn't get my attention at first. I am no expert in acting but the main character, Richard Cipher, played by Craig Horner, seemed to be off with his delivery. Well, I thought it would be like another "Robin Hood' or 'King Arthur" type movie. Most of it's scenes would take place in forests and castles and the Seeker's primary weapon is a sword--The Sword of Truth. It is set during the medieval times.

But to my surprise, I find myself always wanting to see more one episode after another. Slowly the characters are becoming more familiar to me each and every episode. The Mother Confessor Khlan Amnell, got me into liking her and her power to confess people. She can make these "confessed" people to follow her orders until she dies. She's one mean and kick-ass lady too. Most of the time, she finds it somehow pleasurable and satisfying to slit the D'Haran soldiers' throat with her daggers while staring at their eyes.

The wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, who is a wise and powerful Wizard of the First Order, protecting Richard from birth so that he could fulfill his destiny of becoming the first true Seeker in a thousand years, also added great magic and color to the show. Zed was also a great help to The Seeker in bringing down Darken Rahl's tyrannical rule of dark magic. Darken Rahl, by the way, is the main villain.

And you guys should watch out for Cara Mason who is one of the feared order of women known as Mord-Sith. She doesn't have a sword but you wouldn't want to mess with her and her Agiel. It might look like a common "batuta" but it can break and kill even the toughest man. Her killer moves are solid yet her devilish charm will make guys melt like butter. It will really be a lost if the show will not get another chance to return for another season. I think the show has proven that it is more than just worth watching. This cold-bloodied killer babe may be as tough as steel but there's a soft spot in her somehow.

Now before they pull the plug, you guys might want to watch it. Find your own copy of The Legend of the Seeker Seasons One and Two. I guarantee you a very enjoyable and awesome series to follow.

Blog Writer

I am trying out this application I just found out fron the Apps Store. I have not been updating my blog for the longest time now.

Even if I frequent the web to check Facebook out, still I end up not writing anything on this blog. I have neglected a lot of things in my life and they are haunting me.

With this application 'Blog Writer' I can blog about something with ease. That should mean an updated blog moving forward.

A lot of things I want to share. A lot of stories I want to tell. A lot of lives I want to touch.

See you later then, guys.
