By now, many of you are already aware of how typhoon Sendong (international code name: Washi) have severely ravaged the country, particularly Mindanao. A lot of relief efforts are now being done to help our countrymen in Iligan, Cagayan de Oro and other places in Southern Philippines. But it seems there’s still a lot of [...]

I’m a big fan of New Year resolutions because it’s a positive reinforcement that allows us to become a better person. While most people would start thinking and doing their New Year resolutions by January, I’ve learned from experience that committing to change is best done during December.

Some of us may have the courage and the determination to go out and build a new venture. However, not everyone can afford the risk, have the [...]

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.
