I tried my best to read articles and watch mainstream news to get some updates of the Ondoy Typhoon. Although the typhoon has subsided, the aftermath is still a noticeable challenge to many people affected by it.
I am all the more amazed at how ordinary and the high class people could get along so well in [...]
The rainy season has finally arrived. And I believe Ondoy is just a head start of what this country will experience. I don’t want to be pessimistic about it but the news tells us of another typhoon coming our way before Ondoy gets out of the country.

I checked the online websites of 3 leading newspapers in the country and I have to say, there are only two major topics that this nation revolves in – showbiz and politics. The rest are placed next in line with the two as headliners.
Try to read newspapers today and you’ll see news about Ping Lacson’s [...]
I checked out the Philippine Blog Awards website and one of their latest updates was the venue for the PBA for the Visayas. The 2009’s Philippine Blog Awards Night will be held at the Ayala City Sports, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City. (I’m not sure if I was able to take a peek on that place when we [...]
Viz and I had the opportunity to conduct a leadership workshop to some leaders of the Inter-Youth Fellowship in Tanjay. There were a total of 18 youth leaders from the ages of 17 to 26 years old. (I’m still 26 by the way)
Viz was able to facilitate 2 getting to know you games that allowed the leaders get to know [...]
I woke up at 6am today and finished the movie I was supposed to watch last night. Well, I was stuck in my bed for almost an hour watching the movie which is by the way was a good movie.
Aside from watching movies the whole day, I have a lot of other things in store [...]
This will be a response to Lurch’s blog entry about 12 Things That Are True About Me Right Now.
So, what things are true to me right now?
I spend most of my time thinking of the “what if’s” in my life. (Melancholic Mode Again!)
I am broke financially and I don’t want to accept it.
I am excited [...]
I am not an expert when it comes to blogging or even earning much through blogging. I just write what I know or share my experiences with the lessons it entails. There are also times that I just share random thoughts about something. This blog entry is one of those posts.
Blogging has been a part [...]
Shoooot!
Nyikes, my bad…I just exclaimed that aloud with the headset microphone on during the Visayas Business Support Call with the Managers from Cebu, Iloilo, Dumaguete and Bacolod listening in!
As much as I want to laugh it out right away – this one is a bad blooper experience since I called her “gaga” – and I [...]
CitiPointe Worship concert was a blast!
I had the opportunity to join the worship concert last night courtesy of Mark and Greg’s generousity! Both chipped-in to buy the P 300.00 tickets for me since I didn’t have the means to do so. Well, these guys know that if I have money, it will always be “libre” [...]
I’m up early today for the second run of my excercise goal to lose some weight. I did brisk walking and excercise for 45 minutes today and decided to have breakfast at McDonald’s. It’s been awhile when I came here for a meal and just enjoy their free wifi.
Okay, so I mentioned excercise, [...]
One of the highlights for the past 2 months perhaps is the death of the late President Cory Aquino and his son deciding to run for presidency with Mar Roxas backing out for the sake of Noynoy’s candidacy. The country is facing yet another exciting time as politics seems to heighten up with this new Presidentiable for the [...]
One of the excitements in being at home is the opportunity to go to church every Sunday. Another opportunity is leading the praise and worship for the service. I have been leading from time to time since 2004 and I am amazed at how God works in our life to prune and refine us to [...]
I just read the updates from the Philippine Blog Awards website and learned that I need to create a blog entry why I joined the said competition.Although I got confirmation from the commitee prior to the date of the blog entry in PBA, there’s no harm in sharing my own reason for joining as well. [...]
I was preparing for work today when I heard the little girl next door singing “Single Ladies”, ” Nobody,nobody But You” and “Poker Face”. Instead of enjoying the kid’s rendition of these songs, I felt sorry for her.
Okay,okay… These songs are the latest songs from the music world and if I’m not mistaken, most youth [...]

The reason for the “lipat-bahay” [...]
I just got out from the youth meeting for the inter-youth fellowship. To my surprise, I was the one who facilitated the meeting and discussed a lot of other issues from dating to church-hopping.
Just to share with you, the Ministerial Fellowship of Tanjay gave their approval in realizing a long dream for their youth – [...]
As the gloomy sky covers Tanjay City, I was so vibrant in taking another pictorial session with myself using a sony ericsson cybershot phone. I edited the pictures a little adjusting the contrast and color scheme using the Microsoft Office Image Editor. And yes folks, it’s all me.
Sorry for the “narci mode” but it’s what [...]
It’s seems that we have another long weekend up ahead as Arroyo declared Monday, September 7th, 2009 a national non-working holiday for the burial of Manalo, the founder of Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines.
This is the 3rd long weekend I have for less than a month, isn’t that amazing?! We don’t often get straight [...]

As much as I’m overly excited, I still think [...]
One exciting event not to be missed this September is CitiPointe Live Worship concert this September 16, 2009 at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex.
Although a lot of people are relating this particular worship band to Hillsong or Hillsong United, they are not! CitiPointe is a different church but is from the same locator “down under” – [...]
I tried browsing through the internet and found out that there are a lot of bloggers residing in Dumaguete and in Negros Oriental. Topics such as SEO, VOIP, local or national news and mostly Personal blogs hover around the blogosphere from this side of town. (Isn’t that great?)
With the many blogs sprouting in Dumaguete, do you [...]
Since Yesterday was declared a holiday for the remembrance of National Heroes Day, my vacation leave got approved for one day. Today is the last day of my extended rest day since Saturday.
For the first time, I stayed for 4 days in my hometown and kind of realized that staying home means getting bored and [...]
