Dear Jose #1: Finding Comfort Outside the Comfort...
For the first installment of the Dear Jose segment of my other blog, let me answer this question:
Dear Jose,
What is your opinion about getting outside the comfort zone comfortably?
Truly yours, Uncomfortable Anon
This came from a very close friend who is curious to know if there is any easier (or easy) way to get out of the square-ish or circular area we are cozily in.
Why is it...

Excuse Me, Lucky!
This isn’t about Luis Manzano or anyone whose name or nickname is Lucky.
There was a time when I was still a kid, my Tita told me that there is no such thing as ‘luck.’ I believed her. I realized that ‘Good Luck!’ isn’t a wise thing to say then. I never really knew the reason until just few years ago.
Luck is usually our defense to NOT take full responsibility of steering the wheel of our...

Overfilled, Overweight Ships Sink
Ships were created to carry people and their baggages from one place to another. But when a ship contains more than the capacity it can handle, it’s very dangerous. Same thing applies to airplanes. Don’t blame gravity. People were given choices and the power to decide.
I would like to stop here and not go any further to frame my point.
I would like to tell a story about someone I know who is...

NAIA mission: From worst to most loved
MANILA, Philippines - From “most hated” to “most loved” airport – that’s the makeover Malacañang has vowed for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 in the next few years.
“We are certainly going to perform a lot of improvements and renovations in the said airport – hopefully, to take it away from the most hated to the most loved,” presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in...

Lost Generation
I’m a part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within.”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in thirty years, I’ll tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priority straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family
I tell...

Filipinos need to toughen up!
by Ilda
Enough with the victim mentality, folks! Just prove your worth. This country needs fewer crybabies and more go-getters to be able to move forward.
So you think someone is bullying you? Try being a blogger. I have been called “stupid” so many times just because some BOZO thinks his opinion is way better than mine. I have become thick skinned and have developed the ability...

You are...
You are worthy of your desires. Really wanting what you want gives you the power to get it. You were born free. You are worthy of love and respect. Lovable. You deserve: eye contact; smiles in the morning; Hello, Please & Thank you; a second chance; to change your mind; to have your deepest needs met; to be not taken for granted; to be loved for what is seen. You deserve all this just because...

No iPhone5, Just iPhone4S
There have been a lot of tittle-tattle earlier this year about Apple releasing iPhone5 together with the highly-anticipated iOS5 (I’m speaking on behalf of iOS device users when I said highly-anticipated) come fall. It’s indeed just a tittle-tattle, a gossip, a speculation. Not true.
Today, (October 4 in the US) Apple held “Let’s Talk iPhone” to launch iOS5...

"Why America's Becoming A Third World Country" by...
He gained fame by playing the wiseguy postal worker. But John Ratzenberger, who played Cliff Clavin on the NBC sitcom “Cheers,” is nothing but serious now. The actor has found a second career as a social activist. His cause is America’s skilled workers. He has advocated for them in documentaries like “Industrial Tsunami” and TV programs like “Made in...

Are we a nation of laws? Hahahaha!
From Valeriano Avila’s SHOOTING STRAIGHT
Perhaps we Filipinos have gotten so used to it we have been so callused when our laws are broken with impunity. Not many of you realize that when America gave us our democracy, we turned it into demo-cracy! Just take a good look at how we violate our traffic rules in total disregard of our laws. How many times did you make an illegal U-turn in areas...
