DARNA LIVES, a fan fiction made by Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. This is very nice! Have you ever wondered what happened to our superheroes after vanquishing the ultimate antagonists of their stories? Darna Lives give us an idea to the question “what happened next?” to one of our own comic superheroes.
Sam gave this link to me and I find the story and art really wonderful. Check the comic chronicle here. Disclaimer: Image from Darna Lives blog page. Take time to read this, especially if you’re a Filipino and you know the story of Darna. Support our local artists!

A programmer should be able to find a bug, market an application, refactor a spike, lead a team, architect an application, hack a kernel, schedule a project, build a database, route a network, give a reference, implement UserStories, analyze UserStories, work in a team, work alone, use patterns, innovate, write documentation, have a RealLife, create a cool website, email efficiently, resign gracefully, AdmitIgnorance, and keep on learning. Specialization is for recruiters.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Repost from pinoytumblr:
This week two noteworthy events involving the Philippines made headlines: the botched rescue of Chinese tourists taken hostage by a disgruntled former policeman, and a botched response to a question by Miss Philippines in the finals for the Miss Universe contest. You might ask, what do these two things have in common? Separately, not much, but taken together, they represent both the peril and promise of the Philippines today.
…If the Philippines wants to get its act together and live up to its potential, it needs to demand more of itself. It can achieve this by stopping making excuses for its failures and ending its acceptance of the lowest common denominator. President Aquino promised to put an end to nepotism and corruption in government. The people should make sure he does this. When the police screw up a hostage rescue, the people responsible should be fired. And when a beauty queen blows an attempt to become the glory of the Philippine people, it should be recognized as such.–The Philippine Bus and Miss Universe (HuffPo) (via pinoytumblr)

Someone on Tumblr asked:
what is the best samurai movie ever?
I have never actually watched any samurai movies, can you recommend any?
I liked James Clavell’s novel Shogun though. Does that count?

Someone on Tumblr asked:
How do you translate "gigil" to English?
Usually refers to an overwhelming urge to do something.
The “something” is implied by the context, for example if the “gigil” is directed at something cute, the urge is usually to pinch, i.e.
Tagalog: “Ang cute ng baby mo, nakakagigil!”
English: “Your baby is so cute, I have an overwhelming urge to pinch him!”
Can also be directed at something frustrating/annoying.
ALSO: I’m not a translator, what’s up with these questions?

Someone on Tumblr asked:

Someone on Tumblr asked:
Why did you choose python over ruby?
I ran into Python before Ruby on Rails became popular. Also, “Dive into Python” was easier to follow than “Why’s Poignant Guide to Ruby”
