Have we got the laser-guided smart bombs?

What buggeration is this?

We will welcome the New Year with a blast!
Mistula is Rakista’s Featured Artist

Rakista, the largest forum for Filipino rock bands, was among the first music sites to welcome Mistula to the rest of the non-resin rock music populace, along with premier Philippine music site Philmusic and New Jersey-based Pinoy-radio.
The site hosts the band’s local forum, presided over by Mistula disciple and official SMS-slang decipherer, the Puppet Prophet. Friends are always free to post, even if it’s not in Rakista speak.
Ho Ho And Still Ho-ing
Christmas is never quite over for us. In the Philippines, the Christmas spirit is savored in small sips so it lasts a giddy long time. And we’ve been soaking on it for quite a while. Carols here are played or sang or rang from mobile phones starting late October until mid-January when the Christmas lanterns at the roadside begin conking out from being there too long. This perplexed our expats, who have been treated to months of merry fa-la-las and rum-pa-pum-pums piped in on all floors down to the basement parking at the building where Joey and I work. Some Taiwanese businessmen once asked Joey at the elevator, “Just how long do you people celebrate Christmas?” And Joey answered, “As long as we can.”
