The other day, finally I got the confirmation on my registration for the Google Dev Feast 2010 – Manila. Below is the program of activities and the speakers taken from the Google Dev Feast page.
I didn’t vote for President Noynoy Aquino last May 2010. I don’t even like him as President of the Philippines because of some reasons. However, since he was chosen by the majority (that’s democracy) I have to accept that he is now the President of our Republic. Read the rest of this entry »

24 Jun 2010We are living in a community where relationship is one of the most valuable things in life. This relationship can be between family members, partners, lovers, friends, colleagues, church members, civic organizations and the like. We value relationship so much that we try to keep it no matter how much it takes. We avoid hurting others in our actions and our words. We make others feel special – we surprise them, we give them gifts, etc. We show care and concern. We protect each others’ interest. We initiate activities that will bond us and make our relationship stronger. We do anything just to make others happy and feel good about themselves. Some times, we’re trying to please everyone.

8 Jun 2010It was a weekend when I badly needed to unwind, make up my mind and divert my attention to something else plus my desire to see the talk-of-the-town Anawangin Cove brought me to this place.
This was my first time to say “yes” to Mama Jaie to join them in a supposedly three-hour climb that turned to almost seven hours hike. It was also my first time to mingle with the so-called “mountaineers” – understood their reasons why they love mountaineering, got an idea about the tools and gadgets they use.
Some note to those who wants to visit the place
- There’s no electricity, no hotels or cottages so everyone will be in camping style.
- Price of goods there is very expensive – Absolute Mineral Water 1 Gl – P150, Candle P25
- If you plan to hike to reach the cove, make sure to hire a good guide. It’s hard get lost on top of the mountain and go down the rocks where there’s no trail.
There I’ve met really great, cool and interesting guys and gals who made this experience really memorable.

27 Mar 2010When the LEAF falls to the ground, whose fault is it? Is it the wind that blew it? Is it the branch that let it go? Or is it the leaf that didn’t hold tight?”
This started in a conversation with a friend while walking out of the MRT station. We are havin’ a girl talk and I told her, I hope this time, “he” won’t do the same thing as “this guy” did. So she started sharing an analogy about the fallen leaf that led it to a discussion about life at work, at home and in a relationship.
When a leaf falls, no one’s to be blamed because it happens naturally. Same thing at work. When an employee leaves, who’s fault is it? Is it the employee who is not happy or is not performing a good job? Is it the boss who neglected the employee and didn’t give him a good direction? (even employees who are properly paid and taken cared of leaves) Is it the new company who hired the employee? Read the rest of this entry »

19 Mar 2010Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit. Read the rest of this entry »

22 Feb 2010To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
— inaccurately attributed to
