It’s been a while since I’ve read. Yes, it’s just now that I’m gonna take on something that I’ve secretly been wanting to read when I was younger.
And for a change, I visited my family here in Biñan, Laguna! I’ve been working away from home and living by myself now(and is loving it though it’s hard). Drop out of college but not to worry, I think I’ll get back to studying when the time is right.

Gawd, I still remember this one. It’s just like yesterday when I was seriously reading this before playing Red Version.

Punctuation Rule of the Day: Who gives a f*ck about an Oxford comma? Not Oxford University’s branding style guide, which instructs its readers thus:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.
It should be noted that an exception has been made for sentences where an Oxford comma would “assist in the meaning of the sentence or helps to resolve ambiguity,” such as when “one of the items in the list is already joined by ‘and’.”
FWIW, The Oxford Style Manual continues to promote the usage of an Oxford comma in all cases.

Oooohh… So I’ve been using the Oxford comma. Will take note on when to not use it.](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnkjfjhTAS1qzpwi0o1_250.png)

Here We Go Again? of the Day: 14-year-old Lexi St. George, the latest pop music product to roll off the Ark Music Factory assembly line, was “discovered” by CEO Patrice Wilson at a shopping mall casting call sponsored by GMA.
That’s right: Patrice Wilson — the man responsible for inflicting a second Black Plague on unsuspecting Earthicans — was hired by Good Morning America to turn a “regular teenager” into “a star” based on “what [he] did for Rebecca Black.” What could go right?
St. George isn’t all that different from her fun-having predecessor: She’s a shallow, carefree, bubbly Barbie with a Lolita edge singing lyrics like “everyone is here and I am having so much fun” to a tune as generic as a bottle of Sam’s Cola. But she does look like Emma Watson, which never hurt anybody. And she can kinda sing.
“I don’t want people comparing and saying she’s the next Rebecca Black,” says Wilson. “With this project, it’s a bit of a different thing.” By “different” do you mean “won’t make listeners want to leap off tall buildings to their untimely demise?” Because that’s certainly a change I’m on board with.
Well it is kinda different than Black’s song. I unexpectedly liked the tune.
But I still love Friday. :3

Fighting For The Poor of the Day: The mayor of Davao City, Philippines, has taken a five-day leave of absence after punching sheriff Abe Andres in the face for refusing to postpone the court-ordered demolition of a shanty town where some 217 families reside.
Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, whose city is still reeling from a deadly flashflood, had requested a two-hour delay to allow her to finish relief work for the needy families, but the demolition went ahead as scheduled. Upon confronting Andres, Duterte-Carpio lost her cool, striking the sheriff several times in sight of TV cameras.
Some in the Philippine Senate, including Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, believe Duterte-Carpio should be sanctioned for her actions, defending the sheriff as having no choice but to carry out the court order or risk being held in contempt. Others have expressed support for the mayor, saying her efforts to safeguard the poor were commendable. For her part, Duterte-Carpio called the incident “unfortunate” and “not my best moment.”
An investigation into possible charges is ongoing.
If I were mayor Duterte, I may have thrown a Messatsu Gou-Hadou to that sheriff too.
