Online presence
I searched my name through Google and found only five hits, two of which from sources outside of my own organization.
It's no suprise. Ninety-nine percent of the reports I write, sent regularly at least once a week to a network of media and academic institutions, are never by-lined.
Anyway, I guess the satisfaction lies with seeing any of the reports make it to the pages of the major dailies.
Speaking of online presence, based on the very first screenshot of my main character (dated August 14, 2007), turns out I've been playing Perfect World (PW) for half a year now, making it my second longest-played online game.
Ragnarok Online (RO) holds my personal record -- over three (?) years.
I don't think I could stick to any game that long anymore. After the RO magic, all the online games I've played barely lasted months. The motivation -- which, in my case, is never about reaching God-like levels in-game but more of appreciating the game's storyline, mechanics and the community -- simply doesn't last.
My head still reel from the revelations of the newest witness in the Senate's investigation of the NBN-ZTE controversy. I never thought alleged kickbacks from projects such as this one could be so ridiculously big.
Over a hundred million dollars going to just one person!
Imagine what this amount could do if put to good use.
