Sharing another story I received from my email… though it seems to be humorous, it’s actually something worth thinking about Who is smarter?

It was far from perfect, I know. But my first talk just went fine, nonetheless. I goofed up on a few lines, but I do hope I was able to inspire young people to write. It was my first, though I offer no excuses. It was a golden opportunity to make a difference… I just [...]

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 [...]
