Inherently Corrupt

When taxi drivers used to incessantly complain they were not making enough from the PHP30 flagdown rate and PHP2.50 increment from their taxi metre, the government heeded their plight and decided to raise the rates to PHP40 and PHP3.50, respectively.

Robert Frost, "Stopping By Woods On a Snowy...
goodkungfu:
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the...

Quotable Quotes from My Profs This Sem
So when I’m not taking legit notes, I take down quotes from my professors on the margins of my notebooks. Most, if not all, of these are verbatim.
“They all probably thought, ‘this weak, feeble-minded woman thinks she can vote and ovulate at the same time.’” -Fr. Adolfo Dacanay, on women’s suffrage, and how it was probably preposterous at the time it was...
