RIP Steve.
Thank you for the Ipod. I could not imagine my world without music blasting from my little green Ipod nano.
Thank you too for your other creations: Iphone, Itunes, Ipad etc. You have changed the landscape of communications and information technology.
God bless your soul.

Coming from a Damn Long Hibernation
Posted by Silver in Life's musings on October 1st, 2011
Yes, folks. I just came from a damn long hibernation.
I just thought in the past that I would never come to this but hey, there will be times when the juices ran out, your life has somehow changed course a bit and there will be new sets of incoming priorities at hand. Sure, blogging may not be on the top of my priorities recently but still, I can say that it became a part of my life.
This is not a goodbye post. Silver is still alive and kicking but now, I must admit that I have mellowed towards the sidelines. It only proves that I may not cling to the spotlight that long. Mainit din kasi ang ilaw, you know. 
There have been a lot of changes in me and my entire life as well that prompted me to take a long hibernation from blogging. Sure, we can blame Facebook and my recent addiction to Adele too. LOL. Pero talagang dadating ka talaga sa parte ng buhay mo na mag-iiba ang priorities mo, ang pananaw mo sa mundo and the way you interact with people.
Siguro nakainom ako ng expired na Aprovel kaya para di na ako highblood palagi. Haha. 
I still observe politics. I still here a lot of stories coming from the mainstream media, the internet and from your friendly and gossipy neighbors. Reading about politics and the changes in our society as well as their impact is still a part of me. Though, hindi na nga ako masyadong nakakapagblog.
I hope na starting with this post, makapagpost na ako kahit maiikli.:)

Danger, Laxity and Underpaid Job
Posted by Silver in Uncategorized on January 28th, 2011
Yesterday, the whole nation was shocked to know the untimely demise of 10 construction workers who fell to their deaths from the 28th floor of the Eton Residences construction, in Gallardo St. San Lorenzo Village, Makati City.
Makati City has been seen as a city full of heights because of its towering skyscrapers. Wherever you go, you will see various construction projects ranging from tall condominiums to offices. Makati has been seen as a city of progress and modernity throughout the years. However, with the fallout of the accident yesterday, as well as the bus explosion in Buendia, a few paces away from Forbes Park, Makati has been put in the bad light. This time, an unwanted fear and sickening realities of our country.

Pinoy Leche Files: Caught in the act – via CCTV!
Posted by Silver in News, Pinoy Leche Files on January 20th, 2011
This video clip from a CCTV has been shown recently on the news.
Look how naive the owner of the backpack is. If I would be in that situation, I could have kept the backpack under the table. Gee.

Remembering Rizal
Posted by Silver in Life's musings on December 30th, 2010
I wanted to share something that I have found in Deviantart.com. It composed of one of the paragraphs found in his open letter to Vicente Barrantes, the Spanish official and academician who bitterly criticized Noli Me Tangere.

Dare to Speak Out is 2 Years Old!
Posted by Silver in Special Requests / Notices on December 28th, 2010
Can’t imagine personally that my blog will turn out 2 years old yesterday. I must admit that I have almost forgotten about it, until I saw the calendar and look curiously at December 27. Damn, Dare to Speak Out is already 2 years old!
I thought blogging will be just my past time – an outlet of the inner critic in me. DTSO became the venue wherein I could relieve my editorial writings way back in my high school days when I served as the editor in chief of our high school paper. I could vividly recall one of the editorials that I have written at that time – I was critical of former president Joseph Estrada’s use of emergency powers and the fight against jueteng.
And now, old habits don’t die easily. I resumed to writing and speaking out what’s on my head through blogs and yes, thanks for the leverage of the internet, more people were able to read what I have written and thought about.
I have met a lot of people in the blogosphere. Some are really good and honest people. Others were just unleashed from the hell they came from.I learned a lot in blogging and from the people that I have met. I can consider it lessons that were not taught in school – important lessons in life that we should be learning about. Last year, I was so freaking active in blogging, especially in Barrio Siete. However, my personal schedule took some time from me and I could only do blogging here in Dare to Speak Out once or thrice a week. I know that I have missed a lot in Barrio Siete. Hopefully, once my schedule remains to its normal flow, I could probably write for the Barrio again. (Ganun talaga pag maraming labahin na galing sa intsik. )

Unlimited Text and Call Promos
Posted by Silver in Commentaries and Opinions, News on December 21st, 2010
I am fond of using these text and call promos in my daily life. It’s really useful especially when you are trying to keep in touch with your family, loved ones and business contacts. These promos will be even more useful especially during the holidays because people will be texting or calling each other just to send their warmest yuletide greetings.
However, the word that I could find for the telcos in our country is this: SHORTCHANGING.
Why shortchanging?
Apparently, the telcos wanted their unlimited text and call promos suspended by the holidays. This is the thing that I have read in a gmanews.tv article:
