On Pastor Rony Tan

Instead of commenting on and attempting to “debunk” other religions when you know nothing about it, how about just concentrating on preaching what you’re suppose to?

An undesirable feature

So the UOB guy calls and tells me that not having monthly statements sent to me is a feature of Campus accounts; you’re suppose to check your statements online, which only shows you the current and previous month statements. But I’ll give it to them for giving me a checking account with interest (however pathetic) and [...]

Film bigots II

I took issue with a bigoted and misleading write-up by a group of “elite” film photographers at Anti Lomography with my previous post. Someone, who posted a comment under a link to rangefinderfilipinas.com, replied: Sorry, but you missed the point. Or a lot of points, I should say. If you read past the ‘about’ page, [...]

Film bigots

Over at Anti Lomography, a group of film purists are attacking what they deemed as their inferior film counterparts—lomographers who use “old film cameras that are generally of extremely poor quality and overpriced”.
