Why I Admire Michael Phelps and Other Great Achievers

Why am I beginning to love Michael Phelps as an athlete? Is it because Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals in the latest 2008 Beijing Olympic medal count. Hmmm…. let me see. First off, I love sports and some athletes are really my idols – Muhammad Ali (boxing), Manny Pacquiao (boxing), Lydia de Vega (track [...]

What is With Number 888? Will it Bring Good or Bad Luck?

The opening of the Beijing 2008 Olympics was scheduled on August 8, 2008 or 080808 or 888 (acceptable). Oh, I’m sorry but that is a few hours from now, right? Well, here’s a few superstitious beliefs associated with 888 and other significant numbers in numerology.

A Motorcycle Accident and Its Impacts on My family

Motorcycle accidents (or vehicular accidents in general) have great impacts on families. Before you skip reading this (because this is an opp I cannot afford to pass on), let me share with you my family’s lowest point ever.

Putting Up a Tech Blog

I’ve been busy yesterday the whole day with my printing business.  Just like my review assignments, some orders had to be rushed.  After work, I turned to tweaking my new tech blog (Technology Talks) which up to now has not been promoted or entered in social networks.  The domain name was puchased on the first [...]

Christian Bale’s Last Name Should Be Changed to Bail

This is just a quick post which reflects some of my silly thoughts as a person.  Yeah I can be silly at times. Christian Bale (Batman, The Dark Knight) was arrested on charges of assault before the premiere night of The Dark Knight in London, England.  I have blogged about this last night in my [...]

Typhoon Helen Hits Ilocos Norte and My Bloglife is Doomed

After the wrath of Typhoon Frank, which ravaged the Visayas regions last month, Typhoon Helen hit my home province, Ilocos Norte. Typhoon Helen was not as strong as Typhoon Frank but it still affected everybody’s lives. Too bad, the Philippines is situated in a typhoon belt so Filipinos like this blogger should expect more typhoons [...]

Alcohol, Hangover and a Good Morning Bath

Too much alcohol in the body can make your head spin, hence the origin of the word “hangover”. People during the ancient times observed that when they drink too much wine or rum, they hang their heads over their boats, the railings of their homes, veranda or porch. To reduce dizziness when the body takes [...]

Stress and My Old Nemesis – Renewal of Driver’s License

I’m renewing my driver’s license today and you know what, this has a terrible health implication on my part. Not only will I not be able to blog till 5pm today but anticipating the stress I can derive from falling in a long line standing up (of course!) is already killing me. In my sad [...]

A Tribute to Dads on Father’s Day

Daddy. Papa. Dad. Pops. Puppy. Tatay. Tatang. Itay. Pare. Brod. However you call your father, don’t you think it’s time to greet him “Happy Father’s Day!” today?

How’s My New Blog Design?

I was thinking of changing this blog’s design but I changed my other blogs’ themes instead. One of which is www.blog2learn.com which I changed about a week ago. For this site, I think I’m going to stick to this theme for a while. I’ve changed so many templates in this theme already and there might [...]

Meeting Friends Online in Friendster is Cool But Spams Are Not

Meeting friends online through social networks like Friendster, Myspace and Facebook is truly cool. In fact, I frequent my Friendster account every now and then but I don’t stay long. Recently, my login time is 5 minutes max just to check who viewed my profile and sent me messages through its messaging system.

A Break in Canada at Mount Tremblant

Many Filipinos, especially Nurses, working in Canada sometimes complain of their workload. You know abroad – it’s work, work, work. Filipinos living here in the Philippines are much luckier for being able to relax anytime they want without much worries unlike our OFW countrymen scattered across the globe whose stress levels are sometimes beyond the [...]
