“…I been in the game since before you was born — “Cause Death is the cousin of sleep” (Too Many Rappers Ft. Nas) — “Cause Sleep is the cousin of death” (N.Y State of Mind by Nas)
I might still be MCin’ even after you’re gone
Strange thought, I know, but my skills still grow
The 80’s, the 90’s, 2000’s, and so
On and on until the crack of dawn
Until the year 3000 and beyond
Stay up all night, and I MC and never die
Cause death is the cousin of sleep”

I did not post this just because he is dead, I posted this because i became a fan recently and realize i missed alot of things when i wasn’t listening to them.

So CNN has decided to feature the country. And this infographic caught my eye. The sources by the way are the World Bank and the CIA World Factbook. I never thought our GDP per capita was that big (ah kids, that’s the amount of money which estimates the standard of living of the average Filipino). And I also didn’t expect that the percentage living below the poverty line has decreased. That used to be more than half of our population in my younger years. Still, we have to admit though that 33 million Filipinos living on less than a dollar a day, is a huge number. But these figures show some improvement. In my childhood days, we were always told apocalyptic tales about the country; about the national debt which we (and our future sons) owe to the IMF-World Bank even before we were born; about the systemic flaws in our political system, economy and even people; about how the country was a lost cause. This time, it seems there’s a bit of a turn-around. I was never into Pinoy pride things. And this does not also make me feel that. There’s still a long way to go and much still needs to be done in this country. And we still need to help out the 33%. But for now, this is a sign that we are bouncing back. Bangon Pilipinas! Sulong!

“We had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t still April Fool’s Day when we saw this one. It’s a massive Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye lens and it recently went on sale in London for 100,000 British pounds (about $160,800). According to Amateur Photographer, the jumbo fisheye lens was created as the “the world’s most most extreme wideangle lens to cover the 24x36mm image area when it was unveiled at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany in 1970.” The Moby Dick-sized fisheye weighs about 11.5 pounds and makes the SLR attached to it look like a tiny point-and-shoot. The lens comes with an equally imposing case. (See below.) The Nikon 6mm f/2.8 is one of only a few hundred ever manufactured and is mainly designed for scientific and industrial usage. (Though we could think of a few landscapes and buildings we’d love to shoot with it.)” — Dan Havlik
