I just have to say this...

It is so disheartening to be convinced that there are many people who are saying that they are in need of financial aid and have a braveheart to ask others for help. But when it’s payback time, the courage disappears and would not even care to explain. Courage could save trust but cowardliness could destroy credibility...even relationship. Gratitude, that is....

Pressing the Fast Forward Button

   Last week I visited the blog of a well-known inspirational speaker, Francis Kong. He had a post entitled From the Past to the Future. He is, to some extent, challenging his readers to write his future. It is not easy to forget our past because we are fond of continuously...

My First Movie Review: 100

It was a late Saturday night. Just when I thought of pressing the off button in the remote control, Mylene Dizon appeared in the boob tube in a silent scene. Few minutes later, she was joined by Eugene Domingo. I got nailed in the couch, instantly. This is not drama. It’s comedy. And it's not...

Magnenegosyo ako. Ows?!

Business is not for everybody. This is a short but thought provoking statement from the speaker in one business-related seminar that I attended. Among the many essential matters that he shared, it was that simple message that had the biggest impact in my memory. I agreed, instantly. Evidently,...

Fiesta sa Pinas, Iba!

Last week, my friend and I had a short vacation in Quezon Province in anticipation of the Feast of San Isidro Labrador or more popularly known as the Pahiyas Festival. From Cubao we boarded Lucena Lines in the morning of May 13. For almost four hour straight, my friend and I were just talking non-stop...

I'm in Love with Mustiola's

I first saw Mustiola's in Pop Talk, a Lifestyle show in GMA News TV. It was a food trip episode in Quezon Province.  Among the three restaurants that were featured, it was Mustiola's that caught my attention the most. It was a carinderia serving typical local dishes in a Spanish inspired old...

Why Filipinos are not Investing in the Stock Market?

One night my uncle and I were stuck in a heavy traffic. Running out of stories to share, our topic arrived at the possibility of investing in the stock market. He asked me a number of questions such as “Ano ba ang produkto nyan?,“ “Paano yan ibebenta?,” “Kanino yan iaalok?” etc. Though apprehensive, I...

The Courtship Was Over

Seven months have passed I can still vividly recall how elated and terrified I was when I attended Citiseconline’s seminar, Investing in the Stock Market Today. I was already in Tektite more than an hour before the schedule. Hesitant to be the first participant to sign on the attendance sheet, I...

Investing in the Stock Market Simplified

For many years, SM North EDSA was sensational - a huge household name for shopaholics particularly for Quezon City residents. When Triangle North of Manila or more popularly known as TriNoma opened in 2007, SM North has started vying for the number one spot. Last week I was stunned to find out that...

Himig ng Pag-ibig!

Yeng Constantino’s interview by VJ Chino of MYX a couple of days ago, stirred my interest in her and  her music. Her creativity is just amazing. The profoundness of her lyrics is just as deep as her true self. In this age where revivals are dominating,the more I appreciate original music. More importantly if it has substance. And I think Yeng’s music has it. No doubt, she deserves all the success....

The Future of The Pasig River

Biyaheng Timog Silangan was an interesting backpacking trilogy of Sandra Aguinaldo in GMA’s most awarded documentary program, i-Witness. Sandra travelled Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam with a shoestring $100 budget or Php4,600 for each country. One interesting highlight is Thailand’s Loy...

Not Really Made Different

“Kakaiba ka talaga” was a common comment by my college friends. I wasn't so sure if it was meant as a compliment or whatever. All I know is that I have always been the type of person who acts accordingly. I am who I am. I do what I want to do. I say what is running in my head. But admittedly, there...

Crab Mentality No More (Please)

Do you know a person who gets so envious when friends or relatives have achieved something great in their lifetime, like a college classmate who used to cheat is now managing a popular fast food chain or a son of an ordinary mechanic is now an engineer? I bet, “Buti pa sya” is their favorite expression....

A Roller Coaster Ride

My 2011 was like a roller coaster ride. In the beginning the wheels rolled in a straight direction. Suddenly, it went bullish then bearish, with wild twists and turns. That goes the same with my emotions, it was erratic. It was such an adventure that tested my faith once again. Roller coaster is obviously...
