As if the high cost of tuition fees are not enough, in which our government can’t, or won’t, do anything about, private colleges and universities still has to cunningly find some ways to milk parents and make education even more commercialized. Being a parent who sends kids to school, this commercialized education is really hurting [...]

Either we’re just too curious or we’re not really paying attention. Facebook was not created yesterday… and so were those malicious links and applications that always appear in your news feed. I can’t believe people are still clicking on those links! No matter who, or how many people post a warning not to click those [...]

This is what I was afraid of – to accomplish what I wish to accomplish… and then, become bored. I was able to conquer my stage fright and talked about writer’s block in iBlog7, I was finally able to publish my poetry book, and I even had a grand book launching to boot. Now, I’m [...]

I was late. I was preoccupied with the publishing of my book, with my book launching, marketing my book, etc., that I totally forgot about the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011 writing project.

My apologies to my smoking friends. Doesn’t it pissed you off that you even have to apologize to them? Unfortunately, that seems to be the rule – smokers have more rights than non-smokers. That is why I am thankful with the new NO SMOKING campaign that the government implemented starting last Monday, May 30. I [...]

While it is not really necessary, it is advisable for a blogger to host his own domain instead of staying on a free-hosted blog. Maybe not immediately, but later in his blogging life. For first time would-be self-hosted blogs, the problem usually is where and how to find the best web hosting service provider?
With just a week away from the book launching, I really do not know what to do right now. What to feel, how to act, how to prepare… I don’t know anything! Right now, everything seems vague, all of a sudden. This feeling is quite similar to what I was feeling days before my iBlog7 [...]

I could be a late bloomer. Actually I AM A LATE BLOOMER! I started uttering a silent mantra in 2009 – to get out of my comfort zone, to do crazy stuff, to dream bigger… and I did. One by one, things took shape… things started happening… some by coincidences, some by pure luck, and [...]
