Bugs Wisdom

Paunawa:  Ang inyong mababasa sa akdang ito ay hindi galing sa taong nag ngangalang Felixberto Baguyo, Jr., a friend and colleague of mine na mas kilala bilang Sir Bags. Because if it is so, sigurado puro green ang mababasa nyo…  

During my grueling and boring days, when I was working on my thesis for my master’s degree I tumbled upon a very nice and very relaxing computer game…the TUMBLEBUGS. It is not an online game, not even a multiplayer game.  It is so simple that you don’t need to memorize a lot of complicated shortcuts and other strategies that often used in Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) or any other RPG’s.  It is so simple that anybody who has a common sense of a three-year old can play this one.  I found it so relaxing and a good way to de-stressed.  Aside from that, what really make Tumblebugs special are the tips shown at the end of the every round.  Some of these tips are the cool, funny, hilarious, amusing, witty, sarcastic but quite true proverbs.  Here are some of my favorites…
