Pounding The Keyboard

       My bank, despite it having just a balance of 480 pesos, replaced my ATM card with a shiny debit card. Now, I can withdraw from ATMs across the country and all over the world. I can purchase things with it nationwide and worldwide from lots of physical stores. I can also buy from many websites, from fashion and electronics to travel and groceries.      But not with a balance of 480 pesos, of course.      The world seems to be really going cashless now. You can basically leave the house now and go anywhere without cash in your wallet, just your debit card or your GCash (phone or card), and of course your credit card.      In fact, as I walked towards a mall yesterday, a beggar called my attention to ask for some alms.      “Sorry, I don’t have cash with me. What I have is a debit card,” I said smugly.      “No problem,” he said. “I accept debit cards, Visa or Mastercard.” ...

     While inside a mall this morning, I went inside a tech store to try to buy earphones for my phone. I wanted a wired one because they were less expensive than the wireless ones with the same sound quality, according to experts. I walked to the counter and inquired with a salesperson:      ME: “Do you have one that’s type C?”      SALEPERSON: “Yes, sir.”      He put several boxes of earphones on the counter.      ME: “Are those compatible with my phone?”      SALESPERSON: “May I see your phone, sir?”      I put my phone on the counter.      SALESPERSON: “iPhone, sir?”      ME: “No, OnePlus 15.”      SALESPERSON: “What’s that?”      ME (grinning): “A phone.”      He looked at the type C port on my smartphone.      SALESPERSON: “Yes, sir, these would all be compatible wi...

When you’re passing on your way, I say Mmm, hello little girl, When I see you passing by, I cry Mmm, hello little girl, When I try to catch your eye, I cry Mmm, hello, little girl…        Last Saturday, while walking our dog, I stumbled upon a lost puppy (see photo above) just a few meters away from our house. I observed it for a few minutes, no one else was around except for the motorcycles and cars that were dangerously speeding in front of me, my dog, and the cute puppy. And the puppy was recklessly trying to cross the street. I assumed that it had been abandoned by its owner, so I took it home, and it turned out to be a girl. It’s been a long time since I took a girl home and introduced it to my family. Lol.      If we’d be left without any options, we were ready to take care of it. The only problem was that our dog was a libidinous male who was always ready to pounce on every bitch he’d see. As we were still planning on what to do ...

       Rex Heuermann, the serial killer who strangled eight women to death (there’s a documentary on Netflix about him entitled Gone Girls: The Long Island Killer ) was sentenced today to life imprisonment without parole. When he was arrested, the cops looked for his search history on his computer, and it included queries about his own crimes and on why he was yet to be arrested. He also researched about his victims and their families; about prostitutes; little girls; pornography; torture-related subjects, and ways to avoid detection of your crimes.      All incriminating and helped convict him.      If cops would barge into my door right this moment and look at my browser history for my queries for the last few days, they would find that they included:      Will there be a season 2 of Spider Noir?      single storage bed      who’s gonna win in a fight? Homelander or Superman? Spide...

       Just as I thought, their Game 4 loss to Knicks was so devastating that the Spurs would have a very difficult time recovering from it. It’s a good thing I am not a Spurs Fans. Lol. But I prefer them than the New York Knicks. I am actually a fan of LA Clippers/Kawhi Leonard.      De’Aaron Fox’s Game 4 blunder was no doubt one of the most grievous mistakes in the history of NBA Finals. But it’s water under the bridge now. The Knicks are the champions now. If only Donald Trump continued attending the games…      And Jalen Brunson was no doubt one of the best one-on-one players. Only six foot one, he’s almost unstoppable in isolation plays, though I think Kawhi could limit him, if not entirely shut him down.      Meanwhile, Earth finally has a trillionaire—Elon Musk. I agree with many people saying that being a billionaire should be outlawed. You shouldn’t be a billionaire when millions of people live way below pov...

       San Antonio Spurs suffered a devastating loss in Game 4 of their championship series against New York Knicks this morning (Manila time). They led by as much as 29 points (in THIRD quarter), only to lose by one point in the final seconds. With the Spurs leading by one point in the final fifteen seconds and the Knicks with the ball, Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox was able to make a steal, but instead of holding on to the ball and just dribbling out the clock or waiting for a foul, he tried to score and was blocked, giving the opponent the opportunity to score the game-winning basket.      Monumental blunder, yes.      Another reason the Knick was able to win was because the curse was already lifted: Donald Trump didn’t attend game 4. Lol.      Speaking of Donald Trump, a lot of people apparently are suspecting that he’s gay, nay, bisexual (remember, he’s being accused of raping little girls in the past). Want proof t...
