Panu yan? 'Di na nga umaalsa, lumiliit pa.

Mukhang marami-rami pang kelangan gawin.

* Evo Morales is Bolivia's first fully indigenous head of state. Having denounced the neoliberal policies of his forerunner, Morales' managed to upgrade social spending.

Here, it’s just the social (and not the spending) that gets upgraded. Sigh.

because life balance is just too zen (and other random memory)

Halina explained the other day why the term, "work-life balance" contradict itself.

The construction ("work" and "life") imply that work is separate from life, wherein fact, it is (/should be) just a part of it. Seeing it as another category/concept (of the self) is tantamount to putting prime in to it.
Hay.
Semantics.
Here's something from Chaplin's Modern Times.
ba-a-ah! ba-a-ah! ba-a-ah!

on another note...

I remember this incident with the crew of the 11 illegally detained punk (they were simply hitchhiking). It was may 1 and the clique decided to join the mobilization to popularize the cause of their brethren.

Having no directed knowledge of may 1 and the Labor Movement, they made the fatal mistake of making banners that read, "go anti-work."

I liked their other material though. One read: "work to fast? apply resistance." Its wit was coupled with an image of a monkey wrench being crushed under two gears.

No need for semiotics there.
