Top 7 Scariest Monsters and Creatures in the Philippines

I swear, this is what my University turns into when it rains hard. Thank you, Climate Change.

Foreign monsters are so overrated; so overrated that you think Philippine pantheon of ghost stories and monsters are nothing but a clumsy joke compared to them.  You might be the type of person who chuckles every time you see an aswang, a kapre, a dwende, white ladies or sloppy pop-culture references on Philippine national TV and the Big screen. But since it is Halloween season, allow me to show you the pure, unadulterated terrors of the Philippine myth and urban legends that can join the ranks of Lovecraft’s eldritch abominations...

7 Cartoons That You Grew Up Watching

We all love cartoons no matter what our age may be. This is what helped us picture out what the wacky side of our imaginations looked like. And in this post, we tackled 7 of the many cartoons we have grew up with, and LMAO, ROFL, LOL with while watching. These cartoons have exceeded a lot of logical explanation, going beyond what any of us could have imagined (kudos to the creator). They might have ruined your life or just made it more awesome. Remember, this list is not ranked according to anything, these cartoons are just the ones that came first into my mind when I was thinking of something to post since it has been ages since the last one. Oh, before I almost forgot, I'm on a Random Monday. You know how Mondays affect us all, right?

Zamboanga Conflict: Why the MNLF Did What They Did

I understand that most of the articles here have rather light topics but please allow me to digress for this one because after all, this site has the word ‘Random’ in it.

The Tale of the Caveman: Fastfood Chronicles

So after a wholenight’s shift and my body clock still adjusting, (It’s been a hard night’s day and I've been workin’ like a dog) my cave man nature inevitably kicks in. Not that I’m not already a cave man during my energetic hours, what I mean is after I’m all tired from work, I sort of devolve about two stages backward,

Dependent Freedom

We are always celebrating “Independence” Day — or rather the date we would like to think the Philippines won its independence. I do wonder though why we continue to propagate the notion that we emerged from the year 1898 the winners. Last I heard, winners get to rule. Last I heard, we did not get to rule ourselves since that year until the 4th of July 1946. So which of the two dates then is our real Independence Day? Is it the 12th of June 1898? Or is it the 4th of July 1946?

The answer to those questions does not really matter. With the benefit of hindsight, we can easily see that the decades that followed 1946 were really no different to the decades that followed 1898. There has never been anything about the Philippines that could even remotely be considered “Independent”. For what exactly are Filipinos “independent” from?

Psychoanalysis Approach: My Unfortunate Lesson Plan

www.styleture.com

When I was still in college, our professor told us to fabricate a lesson plan. It will revolve around the specific topic that we are assigned the whole semester. Honestly, this “lesson plan thing” of mine is incorrect in terms of the format. Lucky for me I had this topic stuffed in my mind since the day we started our thesis. Hence, the Psychoanalysis Approach. However, the way the approach is discussed and elaborated below is valid. I don’t like the notion of the activities, though. As for the moment, check it yourself and let me know if I miss something essential here.

Les Miserables: Oh, That Crap Of Yours

When I entered college, I overly grown a love for plays. Ironically, I certainly didn't have the reason on why I love this certain niche or where this affection have uprooted. The very first genre of theater plays that caught my attention was the “Theater of the Absurd.” I guess it reciprocated my love for weirdness and the connection it brings on deciphering the labyrinth of this theater. But, as I go along with this avenue, I chanced upon the noted piece of Victor Hugo, Les Miserables. This play is barely categorized in the “Theater of the Absurd”, though. 

The Random Letter 7

Started in 2013, The Random Letter 7 is a Blog that shows the creativity and awesomeness of these two awesomely awesome guys: Mark and Alvin (although Alvin objects that his name should go first but then, what the heck, I wrote this article for god sake. You don’t have power here buddy, sorry!

After all I’m 10 times a-lot-more-awesomely-awesome-er-than-all-the-awesome-words-can-explain-and-describe than you. Yeah! You’re a Dean’s Lister… So what? I’m cool. You’re a vocalist of a rock band… I’m cool and I just got better because of acknowledging you as the vocalist of your rock band. You have those cool tattoos; well I am better than you because I just acknowledged those body arts despite the fact that I have already considered you as the vocalist of your rock band… I’m sorry buddy, everybody knows you’re awesome, but you’re just way out of my league). Well, what the f*** is this all about?
