There are 50 million users on MySpace all over the world. This morning I got bored and figured that even if MySpace doesn’t need a new user, everyone could use unique and quirky layouts to personalize their profiles.
Thus, my free MySpace layouts page was born.
View the products of my summer boredom!
Coding MySpace layouts was a little more confusing than I thought it would be, although it’s probably because I’m more used to the CSS in Livejournal. Yeah, there was a time when I got really addicted to doing LJ layouts - it was the only thing I could bring myself to do. I’m starting to feel the same kind of addiction with the MySpace ones. It’s only been a few hours and I already have five layouts up. O_o
Expect more layouts to come within the next few days!
PS. Feel free to add my layouts page to your friends list. XD

No school for us again! 
I don’t actually have anything due for tomorrow, but no school is always good news. I just wish they’d happen more often during hell week. Surprise no school days always occur when I’m bored and itching to go to school to hang out.
Political situation in the Philippines isn’t getting any better. People are still wangsting on the streets, and even the apathetic majority is starting to get real paranoid. I’ve been getting these crazy rumors over Y!M all evening. Take this one, for example:
Due to the unexpected events this evening, there is a spreading rumor that there will be a rally in the Katipunan area tomorrow at around 7:00 in the morning. The whole stretch will be barricaded by military officials in order to keep these protesters off the streets. Try to avoid the area at the said time. Please pass.
And this one:
may magdalo text message ako nakuha: ingat daw sa cell sites at govt buildings, baka pasabugin starting midnight. (Translation: A text message from Magdalo: Stay away from cell sites and government buildings. People might plant bombs after midnight.)
Somebody’s status message on my Y!M friends list also said something about martial law being established by midnight today, but s/he must’ve removed it because I don’t see it now. I suppose there may be an inkling of truth to these rumors but even so, I think everyone’s just scaring themselves for nothing. The right thing to do is wait for the news, then panic and prophesize doomsday.
Speaking of the news, the Daily Tribune (I didn’t even know we had one O_o) was raided by the police on Saturday morning before they could circulate the day’s newspaper. Some documents and papers were confiscated, offices were sealed, and police stood guarding the door. I learned about this when the current KATIPUNAN Editor-in-Chief, Miko Samson, sent our Yahoo groups a message about a rally tomorrow in front of our school as a form of protest against what happened. I quote: “Let us gather as a community of journalists, of students, of
teachers, and of professionals committed to freedom and yearning for the truth. Let us gather to promote dialogue, to air our sentiments, and to unite to uphold our fundamental freedoms.”
In response, I sent the group the following message: “What does that hope to accomplish though? No matter how we wangst in the streets about how we’re so ‘oppressed’ right now, it’s not going to make the police leave the Daily Tribune office.”
Nobody has said anything to that yet; everyone’s busy making statements and such. Oh wells.
I must admit, the invitation to participate in a mass movement and be political and pro-active sounds so appealing to the idealistic pseudo-hippy in me. Come on, I want some action and excitement too. But the whole thing is so dumb. Do they really think that things will improve if they annoy the governmentwith their little demonstrations and bitch to each other about how sucky it is to have no freedom of the press? When they read out the statements they have carefully prepared, is anyone from the government going to attend and listen? Is anyone in the government going to care and do something to change that? I don’t think so. And if a bunch of rallies is all that would take for a government to fall to its knees, then I’d be very scared for the Philippines. This isn’t a democracy anymore. It’s an oligarchy.
Really, I was a bit more proud about being an Atenean when they were still apathetic conyos instead of the precocious bunch of conyo, UP-activist-wannabes that they are now.
