A whole year has passed...and here we are on the eve of a new one.Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2010, full of love and blessin...

Took delivery of a new small city car less than two weeks ago. It's a silver Hyundai i10 5-door hatchback with a 1.2 DOHC 16 valve engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. It's not going to win any drag races, and the looks may take a little getting used to, but it's cheap, easy to drive and park, reasonably comfortable, and most importantly, frugal on gas, a big deal nowadays given the rising cost...

The message goes:As you know, we have plenty of Koreans currently studying in the Philippines to take advantage of our cheaper tuition fees and learn English at the same time.This is an essay written by a Korean student I want to share with you. (Never mind the grammar; it's the CONTENT that counts) Maybe it is timely to think about this in the midst of all the confusion at present.MY SHORT ESSAY...

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.'The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the man explained,'Well,...

Found this in my inbox. I don't have any personal knowledge regarding the events described, so I can't vouch for its truthfulness. but I really wouldn't be surprised if this e-mail is indeed genuine, as it reflects the sentiments of many following the tragic events of two weeks ago.HOW FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT IS UTTERLY USELESS!Very heroic.Yesterday, at the height of the floods, my sister's...

O God, Who knowest us to be set in the midst of such great perils, that, by reason of the weakness of our nature, we cannot stand upright, grant us such health of mind and body, that those evils which we suffer for our sins we may overcome through Thine assistance. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.- for those who have suffered loss at the hands of tropical storm Ond...

On my day of celebration, I thank you for my life and all of my blessings and ask for another year filled with Your presence in my life that I may continue to grow in your love.Gracious God, I thank You for enabling me to celebrate my birthday.

Just a repost. You never know who might notice.Anyone here interested in purchasing a plot of commercial land located along Commonwealth Ave. in Quezon City? It's my father's property, and it has a lot area of 2,844 sqm., with a number of residential improvements. The frontage is a bit on the small side, at 14 m., but it directly faces Commonwealth Ave.The lot has been on the market for quite a while,...

Hi everyone. I'm currently in the middle of something, so I may not be able to post updates as often as I would like to.My thanks to those who persist in visiting, even though I haven't come up with anything new in quite a while now.I'll still post from time to time though. Regular updates will resume in a few months or so, once I'm done with what I'm doing.Until then, or at least until the next update,...

Notice anything?I've always enjoyed having a nice bowl of soup while inside a restroom. And in case you're wondering, "Albatross" is a deodorizer. We don't actually keep seagulls in restrooms. ...

These Philippine govt. officials !The stories below probably explain why the Philippine government is in the shape that it's in now !!! In case you haven't read this, it is too good not to be passed on to all. Enjoy !!! A friend has been a Travel Agent for 30 Years. She says her 30 years of taking reservation requests from government officials explains why we are all in trouble. Here's a few choice...

First and foremost, I admit it. I am a fan of Manny Pacquiao the boxer. Whatever you say, Pacquiao has to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world today, and he has proved it many times over, the last time via a scintillating victory over the Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya.But I have never been a fan of Manny Pacquiao the person. Take away the impressive boxing skills, the millions of dollars/pesos...

Found this in my inbox. I can't vouch for it's veracity, but it makes for an interesting read. To be honest, while some claims are at the very least plausible, I sincerely doubt it if the World Bank would actually be going around sending anonymous emails. :-)THIS IS VERY HUMILIATING STORY.............. I DONT KNOW HOW TO BELIEVE BUT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.To All Filipino...

I first read this article two days ago in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.Let's just say I was appalled and amused by what I read.Here are some excerpts:The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is challenging computer hackers to take a crack at the software that will be used in the 2010 elections to prove that the system is secure from fraud and tampering.The system isn't even in place with the bidding...

I made this blog post four years ago to the day. Thought I'd repost it, since it still seems as timely as it was then. And to be frank, I still think we're in the same mess as we were before.Today marks the 19th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution, the bloodless revolt resulting in the ouster of former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who ruled with an iron fist for almost two decades. The EDSA Revolution,...

Here are even more signs that you may be a tech noob. God help me, I seem to be bumping into more of them everyday.1. You try to measure the speed of your internet connection by sending an email to yourself (and actually timing it with a stopwatch);2. You can't connect to your own wireless router because you don't know your own WEP/WPA key (and instead insist that the Wi-Fi adapter is broken);3. You...

At the Women's Lib International Conference...The first speaker, a lady from England stood up and said: "During last year's conference, we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference, I went home and told my husband, Barrington, that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.After the first day, I saw nothing. The second day, I saw nothing,...

People are strange.I'm slowly creeping up on middle age and yet I still get blindsided at times by the sheer absurdity shown by some people.Just when you think you've seen it all.The irony is, I'm a loner. Left to my own devices I'll probably stay on my own. I have a fair number of friends (too many if you ask me), but if it were all up to me I'd rather avoid them all. You go out of your way to help...

Happy to obli...

I getting sick and tired of all the hooplah about "saving the planet" and BS like that. It seems like everyone is getting on the green bandwagon, from politicians, celebrities, even that guy I don't know from around the corner is obsessed about doing his bit in order to prevent climate change, global warming, whatever you want to call it.The thing is, I think this is nothing but a whole lot of crap,...

From my own personal experience, here are some signs that you may be a tech noob. :-)1. You insist that that a ball mouse is just as good as an an optical mouse;2. You buy a desktop or notebook computer with a kick-ass processor but with a paltry amount of RAM;3. You buy an expensive game not even knowing your PC doesn't even meet the system requirements;4. You set up a Wi-Fi router without changing...
