Last week, January 26th, I attended the 2nd Lenddo meetup over at Jack’s Loft in Eastwood, Libis. It was my first time to meet the people of the Lenddo community, and I’m glad that I did. I’ve never been with a group before who are as hungry for financial knowledge as those I’ve met that [...]

This long weekend, in my opinion, is the real start of the Christmas season in the country. Christmas decors are already up almost everywhere, specially in malls. People don’t protest anymore when they hear Christmas songs on the radio. And of course, Christmas bazaars are now happening all around the metro. In fact yesterday, Friday, [...]

Early this month, I was invited to attend a Bloggers Plant Tour of Gardenia Philippines in LIIP Mamplasan, Biñan, Laguna. Remembering how I’ve always enjoyed “field trips” back in elementary, I did not hesitate to confirm my attendance to the event. I’m glad I did because I was not disappointed. I felt like a kid [...]

I came back from my Cambodia trip towards the end of last week. And after catching up with the responsibilities I left behind, I’m happy to tell everyone that I’m now back to regular blogging.

In a few days, the country will officially have a new president. I’m sure many of us have spent a good amount of time in the past weeks learning about our candidates. Moreover, we have likewise chosen to endure the long lines last May 10 just to exercise our right to suffrage. And as the [...]

Weekends have not been the same for me and some of my friends for the past months. Our usual Saturday night outs have been adjourning earlier than usual because we’ve been actively participating in Sunday fun runs and marathons that has become quite common in the metro.

I spent my Holy Week this year in Marinduque. I originally went there for the Moriones Festival but come Easter Sunday, I found myself going to Bathala Caves to experience spelunking for the first time. Honestly, this was not part of my vacation itinerary, I was content with shooting pictures of the festival and taking [...]

More than a year ago, I shared an “interview” video from TED Talks 2007 featuring William Kamkwamba, a 19-year old boy from Malawi who at the age of 14, built an electricity-producing windmill for his family.
