As many of you know, my blog Melankoliko was suspended for a suspected violation of the Terms of Service (TOS) using Wordpress’ free blog hosting.
It was really a disappointment to know that just one link from a particular website can get you termed without prior notice or warning.
Just to give you a recap,Wordpress suspended my [...]

And my Wordpress is back!
After 2 days of depression the administrator replied to my query and apologized for the delay in getting my blog out of suspension.
Well, the reason for the suspension was because of the picture I posted with a link back to something that violates their Terms of Service.
Wohoo…I thought I’d lost it [...]

“Sometimes, payday is the motivation for us to work hard and beat deadlines…”
I have to admit that my pay or salary becomes a motivating factor driving me to work, and work hard.  I am not saying I’m “mukhang pera” but when there’s no other reason to go to work, it’s the big bucks I’m receiving that forces me to wake up early [...]

I requested for a vacation leave for August 24 and September 1, making 2 weekends longer than expected.  I hope it will be approved considering that we don’t have a ramp during that time.

“I think I need a break…”
That’s my assessment after working in the corporate world for almost 3 years now. It has been a challenge and exciting to work and become a part of a prestigious company but sometimes I often wonder if there is still more than I can do other than beating deadlines [...]

Lunchtime can be a really enjoyable past time for working people like us. It’s that time of every day chores that we sit down, relax and enjoy good food. For my co-workers and I, it’s also a time for a good conversations that revolves around anything.
Yesterday was a different one, it was a time to [...]

The programme started around 10:30 and ended during noontime wherein there was a buffet ready for munching before the aknowledgements were given. Hehehe…

I am wondering if Brother Eddie received my email and if he’s interested to answer my questions regarding his candidacy. It’s been more than a week now that I sent the email and there is still no response even after I followed it up by another email.

With no response from my inquiry, it made me [...]

It’s the birthday of our youngest brother, Kussel or Cheeno or “langga” as we fondly call him. It’s his 24th birthday and will soon be a daddy by the end of October of this year. I really forgot to greet him when he came home today from work and to think that I’ve placed his [...]

       like green plants they will soon die away.
 3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
       dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

It’s Saturday and a start of a great weekend! I woke up early today at 3:00am just to go online and later on, took a bath and decided to have my breakfast at McDonald’s. And guess what, the store was closed when I got there! I entirely forgot that they open at 6:00am in the [...]

MANILA – Two resolutions have been filed in the House of Representatives seeking to declare former President Corazon Aquino a [...]

“Tito Vir, what’s that?”

That’s the first question my “pamangkins” would ask when I arrived with something in my hands at our grandma’s house every weekend. I have developed a habit of bringing something for Lance and Ashley.
I can never say no to both of them when they want something. It maybe a bad way [...]

I was able to see the video clip of Kris Aquino’s speech about the death of her mom and the things she will miss about and everything her mom did for her and her siblings. I am touched at how Kris shared her honesty and feelings about her mom’s death.
On a personal note, death is [...]

I’m excited to what I have planned for tomorrow, hopefully everything will be [...]

I heard about the death of the Former President Cory Aquino last Saturday morning when traveling in a bus. The first thing that came to my mind was that although this is sad news for the Filipino people, she now rests and is in free of pain. I hope and pray that the family she [...]
