Having no internet access at home, I rummage through my hard disk to see if it needs some trimming and cleaning up as well to find something interesting. And I found this old file which I received in my email four or five years ago, with the title Doctor’s Advice. Of course, if you read [...]

Yes, I still get to be online from time to time. Although not as frequent as I used to do, and not as long. Thanks to Internet café’s, I find means to go online, albeit with a limited time. With a limited time, however, there are lots of changes in my internet behavior. The most [...]

Now that my Internet connection has been suspended again for the nth time, there will be less time online for me. That means I could only check my blog from i-cafe, like now. So I get my brain exercise now offline — books, newspapers, and old magazines. I need to keep on reading to keep [...]
At least for quite a while… or before I get enough funds to pay for my internet connection bills. Of course, I could also do it on internet cafe’s, but I am really wary about that. It’s not safe to access accounts on i-cafe’s. I do not even like opening my facebook on those places. [...]

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.

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. I’m not really late, it’s just hat I was usually one of the earliest to submit the Top 10 list. [...]

It used to be just but a dream… a wishful thinking… something that I never really thought would happen… not by a long-shot! But fate knows better. And what was but a dream became real… and I was able to see it… to be it. I was able to live my dream. I had my [...]

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 [...]
