Suggestions

Jex & I found something really funny while discussing about the wedding one night. I wanted to see the list of exhibitors for the bridal fair we attended just recently. For some reason I don't usually type in URLs of websites in the address bar, but instead I type in a search in Google and click on the webpage from the results. So I started typing in "getting married" in the search bar on Firefox and then the suggestions list popped up and guess what the top suggestion result is?

The Little Food Truck Called GuacTruck

I first saw this interestingly designed truck on the parking lot in front of Net Square in BGC. I saw it while I was on the Fort bus and gave it a long "Hmm...interesting" look and thought "why don't we have something like that near our building?", and just forgot about it afterward. I didn't think of Googling about it since I didn't get the chance to see its name.

Earlier this week I went to Net Quad to go to BPI and suddenly saw the truck parked at the Net Quad dirt parking lot, just opposite Starbucks. I gave it a "Hey, it's you!" look. I didn't try it out because it was pretty late and they looked like they were already cleaning up.

I finally tried it out when my office mate told me how they've ordered food there and that they liked it. That was last Thursday. I am now a fan.

The little cute truck is called the GuacTruck and they serve Filipino-Mexican food.

Why is Wikipedia Gone?

Well, not really gone, like forever, just for the meantime. But, why, you ask? It's because of the protest against the SOPA and PIPA.

Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
The bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement andcopyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.

PROTECT IP Act (PIPA)
A proposed law with the stated goal of giving the US government and copyright holders additional tools to curb access to "rogue websites dedicated to infringing or counterfeit goods", especially those registered outside the U.S.

You can read more on the two bills here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_IP_Act). They're not blacked out, unlike the rest of Wikipedia, by the way, so go ahead.

Okay, so they are bills made to control the widespread of piracy online. What could be so bad about that? I haven't read the actual text but http://theoatmeal.com made a really informative animated GIF which can help you easily understand what they are.

Before everything else, I think it is important to get more informed. It's a pretty important and popular topic, so I don't think you'll have a hard time Googling about it. Nothing's more embarrassing and stupid than reacting to something you know nothing about.

Do it for the kittens! Do it for the love! 

#1 For Fun

So, for the past few days I've been reading Twitter updates from @jiritajackson and @carlosceldran regarding a meeting with the DOT secretary. Interesting. So, today, it was revealed what the meeting was all about - the new tourism campaign for the Philippines.
