Why Am I Doing This? (And Other Frequently Asked Questions)

As I am writing this, I am sitting on the toilet during a power outage, with nothing but candlelight and my cellphone. This does not mean anything. I just wish to share to you what I am currently doing. I'm shitting.

Lots of questions have been thrown at me ever since I started my cyber life. So now, due to complete boredom, I will try to answer all the frequently asked questions in one single blog post.

1. Why are you doing this?
Why not?
I have lots of ideas that are just taking up my brain's memory space. I am computer and internet literate. I enjoy writing. I like to annoy people when I feel like it. Why not?

2. What is your real name?
This must be a trick question.
No, I will not post my real name here. But remember, I don't lie about my real name. I always say up front that I use an alias on the internet. On this blog, I am the Ghostwriter. On Twitter, I am, again, The Ghostwriter. On Facebook, I am ****** **** (censored for your protection and mine). Just look for me. You might find me.

3. How old are you?
Again, a question I will not answer on the internet.
I am old as I am. That is all.

4. Where are you?
Read the blog about the science fiction folio. That might give you a clue.

5. Why do you enjoy wearing black so much?
It feels good.
I'm comfortable with the colour. It seldom stands out in a crowd of people, but it stands out if worn perfectly. It looks very elegant and professional. Kinda like Johnny Cash. Yeah. Or Robert Smith. Maybe even Johnny C.
Oh yes, and black is a must if you enjoy creeping around in dark places. Black sweater, black ski mask, black pants, black boots, the works.

Well, those are just some of the questions I could remember here on the toilet. And the power's back on. Cool. And it's time to flush.

If you have more questions, just post a comment.

I'm Back. I Think. I Hope.

I have suffered long enough. INTERNET SHOULD BE FREE!
Today, due to some glitch, my phone is able to access the internet for free. I hope this glitch stays. I need it to stay.

Why? For shit's sake, I'm a damned blogger! I need internet access. I need to be connected to the world through cyberspace. I need to annoy billions of people through their computers/laptops/cellphones/smart devices.
My blog has been dormant for weeks. My posts have been at least months apart, and that is not good for. I am not satisfied. I can't get no satisfaction from the shit that I have to endure. The shit I'm talking about is the lack of internet access.

This glitch better stay forever. And may it never be fixed.


P.S.
The folio is done. It's called Erro Spatium. Translate that, kids.

Will The Brownouts Affect the Election?

Will the Brownouts Affect the Election?

BACKGROUND

The Philippines, especially the Mindanao region, has been suffering from rotating brownouts due to overworked power plants and generators. It has affected businesses, households and schools. The shortage of power also triggered water shortages, due to electric water pumps without power. It also made hospitals worry over undercharged generators for their life support machines and equipment. It also raised the crime-rate in certain areas due to the darkness.

With the upcoming automated election, will it affect the electronic voting and counting machines, and will it affect the results?

OPINION

I say yes.
Sure, they say have back-up generators. Sure, they say they have back-up car batteries. Sure, they say that a power outage would not hinder the system. But what about those who are determined to cheat at the election? Have we forgotten that?
How many times has the election counting been disrupted by a sudden brownout? How many times has a simple moment of darkness caused the tides of the battle to change? Countless times.

How can they possibly cheat? Simple. Steal the batteries.Destroy the power plants and generators. Burn down the classrooms. Cause a brownout and manipulate the results.
We must also remember that the BEST hackers in the world are from the Philippines. An ATM machine can be hacked by any college student with enough knowledge, why not a voting machine?

They say that the voting will only last from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, and the batteries last for 16 hours. One question: how do you charge a battery without electricity? The cheaters would simply trigger a brownout to ensure that the batteries would be uncharged or undercharged.

RECOMMENDATION

Simple. Make sure that the brownouts never happen again.The brownouts are not a problem, but it's the people who cause it that's the problem. Look at it this way: they say that it's caused by the overworked power plants, but last Sunday, when the entire Philippines watched the Pacquiao-Clottey bout, which could overload the power generators, not a single brownout was reported. Why? People want to see the fight, both good and bad. Zero crime rate. Zero casualties. Zero accidents. The country is united when Manny fights. Why can't we be united when we fight the oppressors,the no-good-sons-of-bitches that are in Malacan? Why?
We do not love ourselves as Filipinos. We do not love our own country. We simply have a false sense of pride and nationalism.
WE NEED TO UNITE NOW.
