From your phone, to your online identity, and even at home or abroad, there are things you should consider to keep you, your possessions and, most importantly, your information safe. We’ve tried to compile a list of threats and solutions so you can stay secure. You can’t be too careful. It’s a dangerous world out there.

The Anti-Holiday Playlist
It’s October, and if you’re reading this from literally anywhere in the Philippines with a mall, that means you’ve been hearing Christmas music for at least a solid month now. Jose Mari Chan has once again made his way into every waking moment, and while that’s great for the memes, it’s not the best thing for our sanity. We’re here to try and make things better. Here, for your consideration, is an Anti-holiday playlist, guaranteed to leech all the happiness and good cheer from your heart. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, mind. It’s all about balance. So if you’re all Christmassed out, queue this bad boy up and get back to your normal, melancholic self.

World Of Warcraft Classic
World of Warcraft (WoW) revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) on its release on November 23, 2004. Many people sunk not only hours, but days and even years into the game (including me). As the game went on and started releasing expansions adding content to the game, many players were frustrated with the direction of the game. They felt that Blizzard ignored the player base and made decisions without their input. As a result, private servers (usually fan-made and ran by fans who hosted servers of unauthorized WoW expansions) started popping up all over the place.

Coffee With Max Javelino
It was Monday in one of the less busy cafes along Katipunan—college town. There was the usual clamor of slow weekday service— the waiting staff calling out orders, silverware clinking into china as diners slice into their all-day breakfasts, the casual click-clacking of the omnipresent MacBooks. In the tepid rhythm of grinding coffee beans and steaming milk, sits Max Javelino.
