		<description><![CDATA[Listen, I don&#8217;t know exactly how it happened, but somehow, I think there&#8217;s some strange discontinuity and irregularity going on in the reality I move in. We&#8217;re talking  weird, crazy ass Twilight zone-type shit here people.
This morning, I woke up in a residential condo unit in the Pasig area next to a woman whom [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taxi driver dude, wtf?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past 5 years or so, I&#8217;ve always driven myself to get around. On the average, I would say that I only take public transportation or cabs thrice a year.

		<title>A success tempered with hard lessons. ATTN: PayPal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early this week, we were finally able to fulfil our obligations to those who donated via PhilippineAid.com and, more importantly, to the victims of Typhoons Ketsana and Parma&#8211;at least as far as remitting the funds we have collected via our PayPal account to the Philippine National Red Cross would go.

		<description><![CDATA[The Good News
In our aggressive, social-media driven campaign that lasted less than 48 hours, Philippine Aid managed to generate a total of $6,647.51 in PayPal donations.

		<description><![CDATA[It finally happened. Earlier this month, my family went ahead and hired a stay in maid. Now, this is not the first time that my household had a maid and there was actually a point in time when we had three.

		<title>Two things that could ruin my wedding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From what I have observed in myself over the course of me proposing to my girlfriend to now, there are two potentially devastating things about me that could turn my wedding, which is a mere three months away, into one gigantic clusterfuck.

		<title>Your phone numbers, a warning</title>

		<title>What about the Real Time Web?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This could be an open door for the content business. For instance, currently aggregators have to get their news the old fashioned way, through RSS feeds and news alerts that they retrieve throughout the day.
