I had a chance to browse through a book we gave our workmate as a birthday gift entitled The Man's Book: The Indispensable Guide for the Modern Man by Thomas Fink. I managed to notice the section on beard types. Fink's source for the beards was the Yale University November Beard Club and it doesn't mention the year of release.

I heard that there is a detention center in Cebu, Philippines that had a "Thriller" act. It all began with a user submitted video by a person named Byron F. Garcia which is very obvious with his user name (byronfgarcia). The clip was featured in the news nationwide. It was a great cooperative effort from around 1500 inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center.

After you come back from a leave, you are expected to bring gifts to your workmates. After all, they did cover for you in some way. It is challenging to find gifts for them. I'm not the person who brings something like a fridge magnet or a key chain. I want something unique from the place that I came from.

I must admit. I'm not a diet guru, but my stomach has one heck of a diet. This advice is so easy to implement because you don't need to buy and supplements or eat something special. You do not need to eat something different from your usual routine. This has been conventional wisdom that has been passed on from generation to generation that we take for granted.

Given a week of hiatus for writing articles, I'd like to write based on my own experience after having a holiday with five tips for a holiday with a low budget.

Smelling cigarette smoke is something I really hate. It's not that I frequently go to smoking areas, but Filipino smokers have no regard for others in public places. They try to hide the smell by trying to hide it under their knees or outside the window. That is an act of futility because there is no way to hide it.

It's great to here something like this from a friend. If I wanted to amplify that statement, I would say:

• Thanks for letting me know what's happening...
• Thanks for sharing the experience with me...
More...

One of the greatest mysteries in life for me is why in the world people would go to great lengths to get credit cards. It amazes me that people would even falsify information to obtain one. Perhaps its just the elusive temporary spending power they would want.

The greatest fulfillment that a teacher or communicator would have is that their lesson or message has made an impact in lives of their audience.

I'm encouraged by people who have echoed or quoted messages I've shared well after I've shared it to the audience. I'm amazed when students get to express their passion with what they've learnt and continue to learn more, beyond what I've taught them. I'm humbled when those same students ask me questions on things that they've learnt themselves, which serves as a constant reminder for me to learn without ceasing.

Observe the next question someone asks you that can be answered with a yes or a no. My presumption is that the "yes" answer is the assumption of the one who asked you the question. Correct me if I'm wrong...
The last question of that type that was asked to me was, "Are you married?" Yikes... Uh-oh.... He could have asked "Are you single?"... Man...

Discovering that people read my blog entries, I'd like to recant a statement I made last time. To put it bluntly, I will not go to New Zealand. It was just a mere thought that passed me by, knowing very well that moving to another country ain't going to help.

If I can succeed in a country that has a leader that I don't have confidence or favor in, I can succeed anywhere. It's pretty tough to follow someone just because you have to follow someone just because it is duly mandated by law.

Here's a question for you... If you had a new product, which of the following would you do?

a.) Sell your new product at a discount so it generates trial
b.) Sell it at the normal price at the beginning
