Welcome to Volume 6 of The Marocharim Experiment. This blog is authored and maintained by Marocharim, the self-professed antichrist of new media.
Marocharim is a 21-year-old college senior from the University of the Philippines Baguio, majoring in Social Anthropology and has a minor in Political Science. He lives with his parents, his brother and his sister in Baguio City - having been born and raised there all his life. He is the author of three book-versions of The Marocharim Experiment.
Most of his time is spent at school, where he can be found in the UP Baguio Library reading or scribbling notes, and sometimes hanging out with his friends or by himself in the kiosks, or the main lobby. During his spare time, he continues writing. When not in school he hangs out with his friends, or takes long walks around Baguio City to, as he puts it, "get lost."
Marocharim suffers from a nervous condition that has left him suffering constant migraines, nausea, and attacked his vision and sensory perceptions in his left-side extremities. While aware of his condition, this does not stop him from vice and his love for writing, reading and learning. He is also active in various cause-oriented groups and freelance writing for some local newspapers.

Interesting how companies like LaserLaces.com are advertising (or "advertising") here on TMX. I find glow-in-the-dark shoelaces so amusing and so interesting that I want a whole box of them this Christmas. Those orange ones would look damn good with my combat boots.
So I went to the Laser Laces site, and found the inspiration I was looking for. I became convinced: glow-in-the-dark shoelaces are the answer to all the problems of humanity. Imagine the terrorist attacks that would have been foiled if everyone wore these laces. World hunger would easily be solved by the consumption of rubberized nylon shoestrings. Laser Laces are indestructible (so they say) and can make for the next best thing in industrial building materials since concrete. The sales pitch for Laser Laces: "Order Now and Never Blend In Again!" Indeed, what a way to solve the crisis of lost identities by the youth, refugees and asylum seekers. Yes, people, Laser Laces is the best idea ever! (... My name is Marocharim, and I approve this message...)
I was watching the Nobel Prize awarding ceremonies on CNN not too long ago and while I drooled over the prospects at me being awarded one in the future (either the Nobel Prize for Economics or the Nobel Prize for Literature... wishful thinking), I thought about ways to win them. Perhaps maybe to make my mark in making globalization favorable to poorer countries, or maybe to write the longest novel ever. But Laser Laces, given its merits and its advantages, is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Laser Laces, given the proper push, can save the world.
Capriola Corporation, the company behind Laser Laces, are gravely underestimating the potentials of such a product. Though I've never seen Laser Laces up close and I've never seen shoelaces worn as a necklace, bracelet or headband, this product can be used as floss, as a tourniquet, perhaps even as a symbol of the new generation.
Heck, it doesn't take a lot to make me happy this Christmas, although I had my eyes set on "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. DuBois as the perfect Christmas gift for me this season (I'll settle on a P121 gift to buy it). You'll make me very, very happy this Christmas by buying me a box of Laser Laces.
I'm serious. Buy me a whole box of them.
