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 [...]

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 [...]

Has Friendster given up? This is the impression I got when I received my copy of the email from the social network. It says they are deleting most of the data that were uploaded on the site during the pre-Facebook era – photos, blogs, etc. Friendster would only be leaving basic profile information, which I [...]

I am not really a techie, that is why the news about Globe launching its 4G mobile technology did not really excite me at first as much as it would a techie. But being a blogger, I am still curious as to what this buzz about the new Globe technology is all about. As expected, [...]

Lately, I have been dreaming and doing things which are quite out of my “comfort zone” that I sometimes scare myself whenever I paused and think. Last year, thinking of what to do for my birthday, a strange force “enveloped” me and I recorded a video of myself singing and uploaded it on YouTube! (and [...]
