I had nothing much on my plate this weekend and so I decided to surf online and see if there’s anything interesting that I’d discover. True enough, a few minutes into my random internet journey, I stumbled upon The Holstee Manifesto. Holstee what? A manifesto, as the dictionary defines it, is a declaration of principles [...]

During my first day in college, I wandered around the UP Shopping Center and found a nice bead bracelet which I bought to mark that new chapter in my life. A couple of years later, I did not fancy the bracelet anymore so I stopped wearing it but kept it in my dorm room desk [...]

I own an iPod Touch, and it’s the only Apple product I’ve bought (so far). But in two years time, it has become my most used gadget and the only one I always have with me wherever I go. Yes, I use it more than my mobile phone and even my laptop. And in many [...]

In my opinion, the best type of business is that which exemplifies social entrepreneurship. That’s why I have high respect for people who actively come up with businesses that seek social value first before profits. And just recently, I’ve learned that Illac Diaz and his MyShelter Foundation has launched a sustainable lighting project called Isang [...]

Japan Airlines or JAL is the flag carrier of Japan, much like how Philippine Airlines (PAL) is to our country.

It’s the start of another work week, and if you’re like me when I was still employed – then you probably don’t like Mondays at all. But instead of focusing on the negative feeling of laziness, I learned that simply reading some words of inspiration and motivation can help a lot in lifting my spirits. [...]

I’ve read about Warren Buffett many times in my life – in books, magazines and other personal finance and investing blogs. Recently, I received an email which tells some pretty interesting and notable aspects of his life. It was something I already read a few years back but its lessons never grew old on me. [...]

If you’re wondering why there’s been no new posts here lately, it’s because I’m currently out of the country. Last weekend, I was in Davao for a blogger food tour. Then I flew to Singapore to do some business, and now I’m in Cambodia for a vacation until the end of the week. Indeed, time [...]

It was January 2009. Three minutes after taking off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City, US Airways Flight 1549 experienced a bird strike which took out the thrust from both engines of the plane.
