I have been very busy for the past few days because one of my key personnel resigned from her post to continue further studies. Since I haven’t been receiving any qualified applicants, I had no choice but to temporarily take over her duties and responsibilities. This meant I had to pass over some of my [...]

Yesterday, I was greeted by a text message from a friend saying that he was terminated from work. It came to me as a shock because he has been working in that office for almost 6 years now and I believe that he has done a remarkable job there. He was no ordinary rank and [...]

It was a boring, uneventful Sunday afternoon. I just came from a friend’s house in Cubao, Quezon City, and was on my way home. Walking toward the Cubao MRT station, I saw people gathered in a corner. They were staring at something, obviously lost in deep thought. Curious, I squeezed my way to the center [...]

Below are some pictures I took of businesses that didn’t quite notice the misspellings in their signs. They may be funny to you but for the owner, this can be quite embarrassing. Imagine if it were you, what would you say to your laughing customers? There is a simple lesson to be learned here. Always [...]

Filipinos have very close family ties and as a child, I was raised to honor this tradition. And since this is a big part of our cultural upbringing, it is often considered inappropriate to decline giving financial support to family members and relatives. I was able to talk to one of my friends regarding this [...]

I was sick a few weeks ago so I decided to slow down my lifestyle for the rest of the month. I turned down invitations to go out of town for the Holy Week from friends and planned to just enjoy the almost empty city by driving around and hanging out in whatever establishment is [...]

I was walking out the university building, wondering where to go next, when suddenly a deep voice from behind me called out my name. I turned and saw that it was Bill Cosby. I smiled back and waited for him so we could walk together. “How’s your day so far, Fitz?” the legendary comedian asked. [...]

I have been swamped with work for the past few years that I rarely have time to watch television anymore. Nevertheless, I don’t really regret missing my favorite TV shows and do you know why? It’s because the “work” that I’m busy with are actually things that I love doing. I remember reading somewhere: Find [...]

I was a college freshman and a new resident in Kalayaan, a dormitory inside my campus. It was the second semester and I was barely getting over my initial culture shock of university life when I suddenly found myself to another round of adjustments as I try to make new friends in my new home. [...]

I received a text message from my mother recently. She said that the Chinese New Year is near and my Feng Shui horoscope says that I’m going to be very lucky financially in the coming Year of The Rat. I’m not a superstitious person and I always take such predictions with a grain of salt, [...]

In the late 1960′s, a psychologist named Walter Mischel conducted an experiment on a group of four-year olds. He gave each child a marshmallow and told them that if they don’t eat it and wait for him to return in the room after 20 minutes, he would give them another one as a reward for [...]
