Alodia Performs FF7 Fight Theme at UGG
We last saw Filipina gamer babe Alodia Gosiengfiao perform the Final Fantasy VII fight theme at home. Now she performs it on stage at the U Got Game convention. This time, she doesn’t stop to fix her hair.
If this girl plays her games like she plays her music, Arthas Menethil will have much to fear from her World of Warcraft blood elf priestess. Perhaps she will become the first Filipina to defeat the Lich King.
The Philippine Government Needs a CIO
When I see the Philippine government attempt such boneheaded IT projects as the National Broadband Network, I am convinced the Philippine government needs a chief information officer to steer their IT projects in the right direction. As it stands, decision-making for government IT projects is just one big mess: witness the insane number of functionally unrelated government executives (and even one executive’s spouse!) embroiled in the NBN controversy.
As much as I disagree with Senator Loren Legarda’s misguided attempt to censor the Internet, I must agree with her push to create a Department of Information and Communications Technology. The secretary of that department would effectively become the government’s CIO. With one person in charge of IT projects, the government wouldn’t have so many extraneous individuals with extraneous interests meddling in IT decisions.
