here i go again. instead of doing my take-home exam for 207.2, im writing this entry. parang last sem lang hehe
but in all fairness to me, i finished one article tonight. i read my prof's article on cooperatives as a mechanism for promoting social justice. o ha? but while reading dharam ghai's article on decent work: universality and diversity (which ive perpetually been trying to read ever since the beginning of the term), the image of ely in that white long sleeves being elevated on stage with one arm raised and a guitar on the other keeps on popping in my mind. hay... still cant get over it.
anyway, got this one from the mail this morning. thought id be too selfish not to share it with people. alangan namang ako lang manghinayang no! haha

>
> The lights would then go out.

> The hydraulic stage would rise again and there they would be.

> After Para Sa Masa, they'd switch into Overdrive. With the crowd

> Finally, they would perform Huling El Bimbo. Again, after the last
