For a week now, the country has been closely watching developments in the second biggest murder mystery that's happened in BF Homes Paranaque since the Vizconde massacre. With how it's turning out in the Ramgen Revilla murder, it's not the usual suspects that are involved here but a seeming saga of family conflict over love and money and envy at who is getting more. Is this a fratricide, a modern day version of Cain and Abel or a Shakespearean tragedy?

Steve Jobs: February 24,1955 – October 5, 2011

It's just quite regrettable that he has to "retire" so early at the tender age of 56.

Typhoon Pedring photos taken by citizen journalists

My only consolation is that all members of the family stayed home today and did not have to brave the strong winds and wade through the flooded streets. There's no better time to stay indoors and keep dry. We had a brief respite at a nearby mall to have a pizza meal and enjoy the airconditioning. Am just thankful that our great suburb of Paranaque has been spared from the wrath of the floods that afflicts most areas ... Continue Reading...
