Also just discovered an old interview by Ted Koppel with Ferdinand Marcos from 1982 sandwiched in between some movie recordings. This is the first time I heard Makoy Sr. talk that isn’t on some documentary and here’s a few take aways:

1. Marcos pronounces years as “nineteen-hundred and seventy-two” instead of “nineteen-seventy two”.

2. Kasing-asim niya sina Noynoy at Gloria kung mag-react sa mga criticism/allegations towards his administration. He didn’t like the intro piece that aired before his interview at all, lol.

3. Ted Koppel is a great interviewer. How I wish ganun ako kagaling mag-communicate with others. He’s so inoffensive and articulate.

4. Marcos talks really really well. Most Presidentiable out of anyone I’ve seen since I was born. At the same time, sa sobrang galing niya magsalita he can easily sway the narrative in his favor when rebutting accusations. Like dumami raw middle class nung panahon niya in response to the inequality between the poor and the rich - bad (bordering on nonsensical) argument but he sells it well.

5. Apparently he was trying to pivot away from strongly supporting the U.S. around this point and doesn’t appreciate the one-sided deals they want.

What are your thoughts on Framework? Wala pa sa Pinas pero is it a good quality when compared to other laptops?

Without checking, I assume the memory here is only 8gb. If so, is it soldered? Soldered ram has always been my problem with these laptops.

I miss DAPs, particularly Zune. I still have mine lying around and working but support for it (e.g. music store, software) is gone now. Smartphones have third-party apps but the Zune UI is much better and a DAP just play distraction-free music.

Nokia, ibabalik ata nila pero iba pa rin ang orig

remember the days where removable batteries were a thing?

mp3 music players cause phones have taken their place

Physical media, like pictures and games that physically existed that you can hold, store, in shelves, frames, etc. I see the streaming and digital and, its nice, but it’s prevalence has made it easier to make those just disappear from you, like cloud storage, and degradation of storage.

Only reason why I know this is because their subreddit theorized that my upload may be the author of the song, lol.

Nag-renew ako last Dec din. Other than walang card, masaya naman ako marami na satellite centers at zippy ang process. Less than 20mins kayang kaya matapos. Still waiting for my card, though.

Also, I must say, fools gold naman yung 10 yrs expiration. They only give it to license holders who do not have a violation, something that’s nearly impossible if you’re a daily driver in this country na may mga bullshit rules like two way na bigla na lang magiging one way (nadale kuya ko diyan before while venturing in Manila which is why he’s only eligible for 5).
