XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Part 1 - Unboxing)

Have you ever wondered what it feels like that something you wished would happen and it would happen? I had several moments in life which caught me by surprise.

But this one was more than a surprise, it was destiny.

Pure Black Brownies!

I'm here at the office now on a Sunday. It sucks. At least I'm not that depressed because I was able to make a batch of brownies yesterday! I bought stuff on the same day from Chocolate Lover, a well known supplier of baking supplies in the Philippines.

I got the recipe from the book my girlfriend gave me which contains lots of techniques and recipes. I had to scale the ingredients to fit the cake pan. Also, I need to perfect the dough before I put in modifications. Also, I decided to spike the batch a little, so I added my favorite alcohol, Rum!

Ohhh...

Look what I saw.

Preettttyyy...

No. 10175

So I'm still here at the office as I need to meet a deadline for our clients' reports. No pressure on my end. Still, I took the liberty to take a quick break to steer my mind of work for a while. As I went to my favorite convenience store to get an energy drink with added supplement that supposedly helps you trim down, I went behind our clients building for my regular Vaping break.

Whilist sipping on my drink and smoking, a group of call-center agents began talking about the new implemented Republic Act of the Philippines No. 10175, or better known as the Cybercrime Law. "Bawal na mag-like o mag-share ng mga comments or posts sa Facebook." (You're not allowed to like or share comments or posts on Facebook.) as one of the agents said. "Hindi lang sa Facebook" I said to myself, then... "Shit, I need to write this down!" So here I am now writing this post, sharing my two cents about the Cybercrime Law.

I've been following the developments. I've ignored the news during the onset. A week after it has been approved, it struck a nerve, not just for me, but the whole Filipino community, clamoring for a change in the law, claiming it can lead to abuse and misinterpretation when charged with the provision of the law.

So what's with RA 10175 that's making a fuss with Filipinos?
