I've had enough of Cape Fear exile! Lalabas ako today. Dadaan akong CN para i-deliver ang dalawang cookbooks. Isang Anarchist's Cookbook, isang matinong cookbook. Tapos konting tambay. Later tonight it’s off to the Verve Room to have some drinks.
GEx Forum
Napadala ko na sa wakas ang GEx. Mas maganda ang kuwento ng God Gambit sa Omen Project. Sayang at hindi kasali si Agham. Pero finorward ko ang lahat ng GEx mail kay Agham para masundan niya ang pangyayari. Kaya lang pala, hindi na puwede sumali si Agham sa God Gambit dahil mababasa niya yung sa ibang players.
Ninja Consultant to the Decepticons ka na lang Agham. If you find time, mag input ka kahit konti. Kahit anong aspect ng GEx, gameplay, sa adventure, or otherwise, para ma refine natin. Basta kung GEx related na walang CNN content, please put GEx in the subject line.
Hindi ko na lang i ku kuwento kay Agham yung full story, para GEx Lurker lang siya. Parang nagbabasa ng cyberpunk story. O, may bagong way to participate in GEx. Merong GM, merong Player, ngayon merong Lurker. Pili ng pleyer.
Conspiracy Theory
O eto, Conspiracy Theory, not the CN kind. Pinadala sa akin ni Russell of Tame the Tikbalang. Mahilig sa junk e-mail yon eh. But this is his most entertaining junk e-mail yet. Pampahaba ng CNN.

Subject: Fwd: Truth about the Cebu Air Pacific Crash
Here's the allegedly real story behind the ill-fated Cebu Pacific flight that has been hugging the headlines for the past weeks.
Here is a true conspiracy theory that was confirmed by a few alleged members of the national security council. Just today, it was confirmed that the black box that has been found was tampered.
PRESS RELEASE: The plane crashed and killed more than a hundred passengers.
TRUE STORY : The plane after taking off, was held hostage by hired rebels.
During their flight, the pilot was manuevering the plane at gunpoint and was instructed to pick-up several more of their comrades and arms at the Tacloban Airport. This was the reason for the unneccessary and unprotocoled detour. The pilot was experienced and well trained, he could not have diverted without proper authorization. He is not an amateur, as mentioned in many newspapers.
After the pick-up at the Tacloban airport, the rebels instructed the pilot to crash land the plane at a plateau near the alleged crash site. Upon landing, the rebels immediately contacted Mr. Gokongwei (the old man) and asked for 2 billion pesos in exhange for the lives of the hostages. Intelligence reports say that the money will be used for the upcoming elections. Upon hearing this, Mr. Gokongwei vehemently disagreed with the exchange and said that he would not negotiate and pay the said amount. This infuriated the rebels.
They said that if they are not paid, they will be forced to kill the hostages in groups and hourly intervals. (You have to note, that this was all occurring during the 1st day the plane was missing.). The rebels decided to temporarily release 19 passengers to initiate a dialogue with the local mayor and to show Mr. Gokongwei that they will not harm the hostages if they are paid. (Remember, it was the mayor who was one of the first ones to report the "crash" and see the "site".) But Mr. Gokongwei immediately contacted the military for assistance. This information got to the rebels and this made them even angrier. They pulled the 19 passengers back in the plane and shot them together with the 100+ passengers. (If you can remember, during the 2nd or third day of the hostage reports by local folks say that 19 passengers were seen alive.) THEY SHOT THEM ALL!!!
Soon after, the rebels blew up the plane using explosives with the dead hostages inside. No big wreckage part of the plane was seen. It was all bits and pieces. The bodies of the dead hostages were also in bits and pieces. How come most of the bodies were dismembered?
It's possible that the rebels dismembered the body parts of some of the hostages first before piling them up inside the plane and blowing it to bits. They may be trying to destroy any evidence the bodies might show. Strangely enough, if a plane explodes, or any craft, for that matter the only part that will scatter to bits are the ones that are near the engine or the fuel tank.
After the plane was blown to bits, most of the wreckage was hand-carried to different sites nearby. Several were carried to other places within the vicinity to make it look like a crash.
A mid-air crash or explosion should show burnt areas like grass or trees. None of that was discovered. Even if the explosion happened in midair, wreckage would have continuous flames because of the fuel and this would also burn surrounding leaves or grass. No signs of burns, except for the wreckage were found. Take note too, that documents in some of the wallets were in good condition. Mass burial was conducted. The dismembered bodies were hardly recognizable.
Also note that there seemed to be a news blackout for about a week. Information seemed to be being filtered or slowed down --handpicked for release. We are not sure if the military had a hand in the mopping up of operations, although the possibility has a very high probability. We are not even sure if the military is involved.
But one thing is for CERTAIN. The plane did not explode, crash or experienced turbulence. THE PLANE WAS HIJACKED AND THE PASSENGERS WERE ALL KILLED. Now, Gokongwei is having a hard time claiming the insurance because the flight took an abnormal route. So what now? Watch the papers next week. If not... Well, believe it or not.
Weaving a story. Hindi ko naman binasa yung newspaper articles tungkol sa crash kaya hindi ko alam ang plausibility nito. Nilagay ko dito sa CNN dahil nakakatawa yung syntax nung sumulat nito.
Smiles and Jokes
Agham : Hindi alam ang reason pero ang suspetsa ay yung isang screw na nahulog sa loob ng chamber...
Nakita ko yan ganyan na yan eh! Nice to see, nice to hold, if you break it, it's considered sold. Ang labo ng patakaran na yan. Considered sold lang pero hindi spAcific kung kanino nabenta.
Agham : ...binigay ko yung bankbook niya na nasa akin na may 545000 yen.
Pera mo walang halaga, LuGe kami! Bakit naman na punta sa iyo ang pera niya? Treasure chest ka rin ba jan sa Japan bukod sa pagiging computer repairman?
Vec : Maganda sana kung meron tayong picture ni Santo
Tumawag ka sa Jailhouse sabihin mo, “Hoy pahingi naman ng recent pictures mo o! Mga tatlong password para walang agawan.”
Critical Initiative
Agham : Pero rude behavior pala ito.
Okay lang, I enjoy being rude naman eh. O tama na iyan. Actually, nilagay ko sa isang e-mail ko sa kanya, “Am I bugging you? Don't mean to bug you...” Ayoko maging presumido at isipin na naintindihan niya yon. Pero nasabi ko na in a way, kaya kapag na lotal ako, may disclaimer na ako.
Parang gusto niya naman akong kausapin kapag nagkikita kami sa Hobbit, kaya lang may label na kasi akong weirdo at alcoholic. Baka kaya nahihiya rin siya or something. Ewan ko ba. Ayoko na isipin. Basta kapag hindi siya sumagot sa latest message ko, waaaaag na lang.
Ang intention ko lang naman talaga ay masabi sa kanya na gusto ko siya makilala. At nagawa ko na iyon. Bahala na.
Agham : Ang ayaw ko ay "organized" religion at yung mga over mag profess ng paniniwala nila.
Eh kami over mag profess ng paniniwala namin eh! Walang Diyos! In my haughty opinion, hindi puwede mag nagkabit kabit ang mga Rioba ang chaotic lifestyle and way of thinking at ang kadiyosdiyosan. Kelangan talaga ateo or agnostic. Kasi kung madiyosdiyos ka, by default you have already forced yourself into a mode of thinking.
Ang mali ng CN noon, fino force ang kawalangdiyosan itself sa iba, instead of chaotic thinking. When I think about it now, dapat ang i develop ay yung chaotic thinking, tapos hayaang mag decide yung student kung ano ang magiging belief system niya.
Use of Computer
Agham : Akala niya magaling sa computer settings = magaling sa layouting using a computer.
Nangyayari din sa akin yan, pero reverse (inverse?). Dahil magaling ako mag layout at design, akala ng iba ay magaling ako sa computer in general. But I do nothing to prevent this misconception. Ako pa nga ang nagpapasimuno. I don't mind people thinking that I am a computer genius.
Agham : Ang tanong ay sino ang magaasikaso ng CN Home Page?
Vec : Maganda ang ideyang iyan.
Ako ang final say sa content, being Their Leader, pero si Vec ang resident HTML man. Ang naisip ko ay ganito : Yung opening page ay parang CNN Number One. Mukha talagang e-mail. Ang laman nito ay yung mga ginagawa ng CN as a group activity.
Tapos yung recipient list, links to personal pages na mala-CNN din ang format. Yung update section ay personal profile. Tapos yung body ay kanya kanyang interests na. EVA, Gundam, Transformers, U2, Star Trek, Cyberpunk, Atheism / Agnosticism, Games, Writing... the more the merrier.
Teka, baka hindi dapat pinag u usapan sa CNN ito kaya tama na muna.
Ang ganda nung Elementals ni Vec. Elemental = album ng Tears for Fears. No more building up, it is time to dissolve.
