In behalf of the hapless victims of Typhoon Ketsana, locally named "Ondoy", I would like to sincerely ask for your benevolence and sense of humanity. In these darkest hours, we hope for heroes who will appear on the horizon to share the light to those who were less fortunate than them. In this time of distress, we pray for individuals or groups of individuals who could look beyond themselves and

In a few hours, we will all welcome another New Year here in the Philippines. By virtue of our location, the Philippines will be one of the first countries to greet 2009. If I'm not mistaken, it's still the Pacific Ocean island nation of Kiribati that will be the very first nation to celebrate the coming of 2009. Hmm, I wonder what it feels to be there and be able to be ahead of everbody else

The other day, I passed by a very old Ford car on display in one of the malls and marveled at the glorious 'oldness' of the thing. I have always been attracted to the old ways and the old times; and I am not even sure why. And so for some moments there, I wondered how people felt driving such a car, and in general, in living the 'old ways'. The world must have been so simple and quaint then, in

Jan. 10: ALI Official Press Statement on G2 Blast The PNP has released their findings indicating that the tragic event last October 19 at the Glorietta 2 Mall was caused by a gas explosion resulting from negligence. We view this with deep concern. Our own assessment shows due diligence and care was exercised in the maintenance of the basement where the explosion appears to have occurred.

This post is for Missy and all those who are interested about the result of the Ayala Young Leaders Congress 2008 screening. I first blogged about the said search here.

Speaking of abangan, isa sa pinakainaabangan ng mga Pinoy ay nagbalik na. And I am talking about the Philippine Basketball Association. I have been a big fan of the PBA, Asia's oldest professional basketball league, since the 80's when my San Miguel Beer captured its Grand Slam and my ultimate Pinoy hardcore idols namely Samboy Lim, Allan Caidic, Ato Agustin, and Hector Calma were still active.

This will be very quick. While watching TV after lunch, I saw this promotional clip for this year's Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition of broadcasting giant ABS-CBN. What struck me about the promotional campaign was the apparent intention of the network to perk up the interest and curiosity of the public about the identities of this edition's celebrity 'housemates'. Some of the TV hosts even

Via my blog reactions tracker, I found out that my latest post "Ina's Journey and ours too" was translated into some of kind of foreign language (probably German). I just did not expect it.

Awhile ago, I bumped into one of the visiting officers of Shakeys and had a little chat.

I have been thinking of setting up a blog for my favorite sports, basketball, but for the meantime that I haven't done it yet, let me blog something about it here.If you can't take a discussion regarding basketball, my apologies and my goodbyes. On the first place, this is, by all indications, for all basketball fans out there.So, let's begin.Okay, okay, now that we won the 4-nation Manila

14 July 20075:30 PMWhen was the last time that you felt the melancholic weather outside resonated inside you?I experienced that today - until a modern-day "Cinderella man" or "Cinderfella" and his tale came to the rescue.We had an overcast day here in Naga City. It seems that the sun has played hide and seek with the clouds today, the whole day. The trees danced with the cool wind, slowly;

23 March 2007I had to disembark from the jeepney that carried me on my way to Avenue Square a while ago because of the heavy traffic that had prevented our vehicle from moving for a good deal of time already. I thought I could reach my destination quicker while afoot than staying inside waiting for the traffic to roll sensing that it was not an ordinary traffic jam that I usually run into along

I always say that one of best things that could happen in a life's journey, no matter how arduous and depleting it may become, would be the great people you can meet along the way. Because with these people comes a profusion of unforgettable experiences and lessons that will leave indelible marks in your life - and in the process, makes life more meaningful and worth living.I am blest to have met

Good thing, there's good music. I could not imagine myself surviving all these years (and becoming a better person in the process) without it. Could you?I could be really enthralled by it that I sometimes think that a failure to become a serious musician could possibly turn out to be one of my greatest frustrations in life considering that I have never been without the opportunities in the past.

Finally, I am back in front of the laptop blogging after a busy week of many many hours of sitting in high-level and oftentimes ebullient meetings, brainstorming sessions, and strategic planning huddles for Avenue Square.

It does feel great that Avenue Square, Bicol's first and premier lifestyle center, has been attracting more and more people - beautiful people at that! - everyday and every single night. It is always a joy to see a lot of these smart and good-looking people going here and there; dining at Max's, Wok, Shakey's, Little A.

Freezing breeze kept all of us in our comforters, pajama pants, socks, gloves, and jackets the entire night. While we intended to wake up very early this morning to maximize our time in visiting the city's tourist spots, the cool climate made it very hard for us to do so. And so we ended up waking up late and almost 'frozen'.See, weather conditions here could be really nippy -- especially at
