My proposal was accepted so I will be presenting a paper at the Canadian Anthropology Society's conference at the University of Toronto in May. I'm going to be in Hogtown (a.k.a. Toronto) from May 7-13, with my presentation scheduled for the first session on the first day of the conference, 9 AM on May 9 .

20 March 2007Hello everyone!The circus has come to town and I am riding one of the elephants! I have been drafted into the Joker Arroyo Senatorial Campaign as Deputy Campaign Director. The experience so far has been full of excitement because Philippine politics is, shall we say, a product of "interesting times." Anyway, a lot of things have changed from the old school days when our beloved

So, as a lark I entered a karate tournament just to see how I would fare. Needless to say I lost but I kicked his butt. I was winning then I lost on points because the ref kept deducting points offa me. LOL. Oh, well. On the first pic, I caught him on a spinning back kick, which laid him out on the floor and he was mewling like a little girl. Hahaha! Second one I caught him with an axe kick. And

I just finished chatting with him. He said it happened a month ago, so way to keep us informed, cuz. Congrats, and remember I will drop in unannounced wherever you buy your house. I do hope you do get a nice one in Queens, even though it's easy to get lost there.

I thought I'd share the outline for my thesis.  I've finished the data collection and research and all I have to do now is mostly write with a little bit of data analysis on the side.  I've got most of a chapter finished and am chugging quietly along.  The following are the titles I'm considering plus the abstract for the thesis: Filipino Bloggers and the Contingency of Identification Online

Just to clarify, I still haven't finished my thesis, right now I'm very close to finishing my first chapter (I have 19 pages of what looks to be a 23 page chapter).  It's taking more slowly than I thought, but having something concrete to look at makes me confident that the rest is just an accumulation of hours worked and will not require any great feats of analytical derring-do, particularly

Check out this video of me in a soon-to-be-released major motion picture!I'm (possibly) in that gaggle of morons on the far side of the street at the beginning of the video. This was during the first week of September; I was hanging out in downtown LA for a completely unrelated reason and wandered into a crowd of people gawking at the shooting.

There's really nothing to do at six in the morning.  I haven't been awake this early without having pulled an all-nighter in god only knows how long.  On the up side, I can actually go to the Farmers' Market here and participate in all that organic food

Last November 18 was a big day for Anime fans here when TOEI Animation Philippines held its 20th anniversary celebration. The event was a huge success, from the parade of TOEI's anime floats to the drawing contests and the voice-over competition. The highlight of the event was of course the COSPLAY competition. This year TOEI Philippines put up a P50,000 prize for the best COSPLAY performance.

So I finished my outdoor school in compliance to finish my degree in Kinesiology. I think the school puts it on our curriculum just to justify the Outdoor Leadership Program. Suprisingly, I had fun Kayaking, Canoeing and Rock Climbing. The highlight was the rock climbing segment which I've never done before.

Needless to say it was a jock party and massive amounts of alcohol were consumed. I dont know how these guys do it!

It was a perfect day to snowboard! No wind, just nice sunny weather. Here's me on the hill with a couple of friends. Best of all, it was a 10 mnute drive from the house.

Well it's here again. Crunch time. All my classes this semester are actually quite fun. Most of them are activity based: learning to take heart rate, calculating VO2 max, training excercises and injury prevention. The only black mark is Calculus. I never realized I would like Chemistry more than math but I do. Anyway, Im plugging away at it and trying to keep up which means most of my time is

Liberal democracies present themselves as always peaceful, always good, and always right. How then do they reconcile the use of violence in liberal democracies, which is never peaceful, and which many would say is never good and never right? Liberal democracies rationalize their use of violence as a necessary part of goodness and rightness: violence is always enacted in the name of peace and for

"The temporalizing function of the horizon of successful self-correction seems an essential part of the means by which the practice of social violence is made to appear and to be experienced as the unfurling of the peaceful public use of reason.

Hi everyone!After eleven days in the hospital, four of which were spent in ICU, your Tita Julie is finally back home.

The following are all true. A team of scientists, researchers, historians, and other specialists have spent their lives verifying these claims.Believe it or not......the modern flush toilet was popularized by a man named Crapper! Thomas Crapper was head of a London plumbing concern that bought the patent rights from Albert Giblin and proceeded to market the device to great success!...Michael

I received a call bright and early this morning from a panicking Lee...The Outdoor School switched the schedule around, and he had his swim test not on Tuesday...but today. And guess who didn't bring his swimming gear.Unfortunately for everyone, I forgot to bring a camera. But I'm sure you can imagine it.After two laps (100m) on his back, and 5 minutes of treading water, Lee managed to complete

Happy Birthday RichOriginally uploaded by armacen. I sent him a birthday text, see? It had this picture of me on it. That's the street I live on. I'll post a video of my place as soon as I can figure it out.By the way, I'm sweaty because it's been humid like a bastard in Halifax ever since I got here. I've been washing my face 4 times a day just to get the accumulated sweat off.

Lunch Originally uploaded by armacen. Honey-roasted ribs for lunch. It was too sweet, so I under-tipped. This is the second picture I took with my phone -- the first was a picture of my breakfast at another cafe (apparently it was recommended by Lonely Planet, or so the British tourists at the other table said). That one got deleted when I was screwing around with the camera, so the

Spent all of today cleaning new place and shopping for miscellaneous crap. I must have gone to the same store 5 times today. So far, the apartment belongs only to me and one other guy, and he was away at work for most of the day. He seems fairly nice. I used up all his toilet paper.Also, new season of Rescue Me tonight on Showcase at 11 PM.

The school of Kinesiology has deemed, it is imperative thall students taking said course should be able to swim for two laps, tread water for 5 minutes, swim underwater for 4 metres and do a break-fall in the water. I only have one problem, the break-fall. What it is you jump in the pool but your head won't go under. I thought my problem would be the laps. Syet. Bought my books today only cost

Have arrived in Halifax. Only lost two and a half in party (one to consumption, one to heathens, and the lower half of one to the Frenchman's disease). Twenty and a half left of original party of twenty-four. Land is harsh but bountiful. Will kill rest of party and claim for self.

Kate Taylor, a columnist and former theatre critic for The Globe and Mail, once wrote that there are only a certain number of probable secrets that a character in a play will have. You're familiar with the scene: one character approaches another and says he has a dark secret from his past. His companion agrees to listen and the man unburdens himself, letting out this thing weighing down on his

By the way, Richie, I don't know if you've noticed but your blog is still empty. Add something already. I promise I won't fill your comments with incoherent rants about Turkish history for at least a week.

I just downloaded your thesis but I still have to convert it to Word. After that, I'll save it on a CD for posterity. I'll post my comments after I read through it.

Where did you get "armacen"? It sounds very close to the "Pen Pen de Sarapen" ditty we used to chant when we were kids. It goes like this:Pen Pen de SarapenCuchillo de ARMACEN (or ALMASEN if you come from the Southern Tagalog region)How How D CarabaoBatutenSipit namimilipitGintong PilakNamumulaklakSa tabi ng DAGAT!There are a couple more verses, but the lines escape me at the moment.
