Last week, I had the priviledge of attending a Blogger’s meet at Dome, Mid Valley Megamall. I took the liberty to collect all permalinks from the attending bloggers related to that gathering. You can find tons of photos, in all those posts.

If you have seen Gorillaz’s latest music video, you’ll witness Noodle crashing down with his windmill island. Remember the windmill in Feel Good Inc.? Yeah thats the one. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t bother downloading it via torrents, search “El Manana” on Youtube.

People are actually debating whether Noodle is actually dead or not. Well yeah, she’s not real but the creators can decide to kill off character, can’t they? This is even documented on Wikipedia, where you can find out more. It’s really weird; if you go to Gorillaz.com you will find that Noodle’s room is empty. Eerie.

You may think that this is just a publicity stunt. But I am awed by the creativity of this whole thing. It was like it was all planned upon the release of their latest album Demon Days. Just when the heat of their popularity die down a bit, they release that music video and stir some controversy.

I think the story hasn’t ended. If El Manana was a song referring to things gone, I’d think that Fire Coming Out of A Monkey’s Head and Don’t Get Lost In Heaven will see the continuation of Noodle’s experience. Just guessing.

Another assignment for communication theory class.

History is divided into different eras, epochs and periods which are identified and named differently, depending on the region, technological advancement, and various aspects.

Though the precise scholar who coined the term ?modernity? is not known, it has been used nonetheless in reference to that period of time or otherwise the continuous development since the medieval times from the mid 1400s (Wikipedia, 2006).

Hotmail users, have you ever noticed (stupid question) that the ads at the top and right side displays girls in swimsuits these days?

Is this legal? Ethical? Appropriate? I don’t know if these ads auto-detect the age and gender of Hotmail users but what about the kids? Seriously!

Don’t call me gay! I heard that! Some of us has integrity! Principles! Morals! Down with these ads!
