2022 Recap 2023 Restart
I love blogging and I’m addicted to it. I love it not because of the money or fame it brings but because of its essence. It came to a point in my P&G career that I had to choose between a senior IT management career or a professional blogging and internet marketing career. I decided to pursue what I love and what keeps me burning inside. Let me share with you what the essence of blogging for me is and why you should blog too.

All of these things, the illogical respect given to foreigners simply because they are not Filipinos, the distrust and even disrespect shown to any homegrown merchandise, the neglect of anything Philippine, the rudeness of taxi drivers, the ill manners shown by many Filipinos are all symptomatic of a lack of self love, of respect for and love of the country in which they were born, and worst of all, a static mind-set in regard to finding ways to improve the situation…. When the wreckers’ ball destroyed Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel in Tokyo , and New York City ‘s most magnificent building, Pennsylvania Station, both in 1963, Ada Louise Huxtable, then the architectural critic of The New York Times, wrote: “A disposable culture loses the right to call itself a civilization at all !”

Mark Lapid who received 210,875 votes.”… Cesar Montano, Richard Gomez, Christopher de Leon, Lito Lapid and his son Mark, all movie idols, suffered humiliation at the hands of lesser known personalities….The only exception is actress Vilma Santos who won by a big margin over incumbent Armand Sanchez in the Batangas gubernatorial race.
Now that it is confirmed that Julia Campbell died in Batad , we should r emember her for not how she died but how she lived and loved the Philippines so much more than most of us Filipinos.
…” Buhay Pa Tayo One of the most familiar phrases people say here when you ask them how they are is “Eto” (here) or “Buhay pa” (still alive).
… As for me, I envision this last blog entry on my tombstone and this drives my blogging passion: So for all bloggers out there, how do you want to be remembered?
Also, there are people who ask me to promote their sites and most of the time I oblige as long as it is awesome and for the cost of friendship (free 🙂 – as Pauline, our Media Manager would use to say. It is also a way for me to pay it forward to friends of Our Awesome Planet who are generous enough to share my site with people, give me word-of-mouth tips, and continue to read through out the blog’s 27 months existence.

…What made it hilarious was that the director intended it to be a serious movie of life during that time in manila. Also, what was amazing for me was to see snapshots of manila during the early 1980’s and the standard of sexy women during that time which we would consider now as fat.
