Hello. I am Benedik Bunquin and I'm 18.
A University of the Philippines Student of Journalism (thoughts on shifting). I drink coffee at 1 AM and sleep 30 minutes later anyway. I hug a pillow while watching Spiderman, stand up when he loses, and take 2 steps nearer to the television when he's about to kill the evil laughing guy. I sometimes wish I was more creative, sometimes smarter. But most of the time, I wish people were more like me. And that's how much of a jerk I am.
The good old days. I decided to walk home a while ago. I saw the waiting shed and good thing I brought my digital camera. I used to spend my afternoons here when I was in high school.
I still go back to this spot every end of the semester, just sit for an hour or two and watch people.
I’ve been thinking of taking the photos of some of my favorite spots.
In the pilot, the group was given the words to the Rembrandts song, but it was not playing in the background because the song had not been recorded yet.
Jennifer Aniston is the only cast member seen lip syncing the words ‘be there for you’ from the song in the opening credits, and this can only be seen in the opening credits of ‘The Pilot’.

All About ACTA
It’s not over yet. #SOPA and #PIPA are one thing. The international version is #ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The agreement has been signed, while existing mostly in secret, by most of the world, with notable exceptions including the EU.
The act is an attempt to create international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement.
You can look at what is assumed to be the current final form of the agreement, which has been leaked, here. The text has otherwise not been made public; in the US, a Freedom of Information Act request has been denied on the basis of classification for national security. Of course this information was not too classified for those who had a hand in creating the act, a group representing US-based multinational corporations which include International Intellectual Property Alliance (coalition of seven trade associations), The Gorlin Group (Washington “consultancy”), Time Warner Inc. (media company), Eli Lilly and Company (pharmaceutical company), Cisco Systems, Inc. (consumer electronics), The U.S.-China Business Council (nonprofit org), Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (beer), Merck & Co., Inc. (healthcare), National Foreign Trade Council, Inc. (business organization), Sidley, Austin, Brown & Wood LLP (representing the biotechnology industry), Entertainment Software Association (computer and video games), CropLife America (crop protection and pest control products), Global Intellectual Property Strategy Center (consulting service representing gauge-manufacturers Thomas G. Faria Corporation), Recording Industry Association of America (recording industry trade org), IBM Corporation (technology), Intellectual Property Owners Association (trade association for owners of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets), Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (movies), John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (publishers), General Motors Corporation (automobiles).
And that was just the Industry Trade Advisory Committee On Intellectual Property Rights that was involved. There are three other other committees, totaling 93 other members of the business elite who have access to the “classified” details of the act we as citizens are not allowed to see, for our own security.
