Thanks, Marck, for this bit of meme lemmingness.
My site is worth, according to the Website Value Calculator, US$119.
According to my favorite forex website, that’s PHP 5,666.91
Wow. I had no idea. That’s kinda dismal, if you think about it.
I wonder what PHP 5,666.91 will buy nowadays.

Via Versimilitude, I’ve just discovered I’m a Mechanic. This website – currently in beta – basically claims that it can pigeonhole the writer of a blog into a ‘type.’ Interesting, of course, and accurate enough in that internet-pop-psych kinda way. 
My results then:

Puh-leeze. It might be an inter-faith rally in name, but in reality, this thing about to go down in makati won’t be marked by faith. It’ll be marked by political posturing. Like I’ve often said, there may be a core of true believers – people for whom this event will be about invoking God in all his many names – but their sincerity will be overshadowed by those whose only agenda is personal gain.
The Jojo Binay powerplay reported by Ernie Maceda was a dead give-away. Binay threated to pull his forces out of the rally unless the organizers allowed politicians to join the party. “Build your own stage,” he said. Naturally, the vaunted Black & White movement compromised on their principles and buckled. If true, the apparently, B&W can compromise on principles too. Although I am sure this selling-out will be spun a million different ways from sunday.
Oh and, did you hear about this? Anti-GMA pins, headbands, and whatnot are being freely distributed. Maybe this is what the noted blogger meant when he said People Power should be organized and spontaneous. Or, more accurately I think, it should be well-organized and well-funded, but should also appear spontaneous so that the claim of popular democracy can be at least given lip-service to. It’s a shell-game is what it is.
Still, because truffles grow in the dirt, I will be watching this rally as closely as I can. I hope that at some point, someone there can provide a clear answer to all the shit we are undoubtedly in. An answer that contains not only hysterical motherhood statements but a clear and rational roadmap out.
