The Real 2K11 Basketball Experience

Instead of the usual Friday night where I chill out at home, I spent my time playing basketball with my office mates in Dumlao Gym in Mandaluyong City last January 21, 2011.

Slumdog Idol

I had the great privilege of watching the Academy Award winning picture before Slumdog Millionaire won it this year.

Destiny Makati 1st Anniversary

It was a early Sunday morning of March 1, 2009 for me as I prepared for praise and worship for Destiny Makati's first anniversary.

The Genuine Goatee

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.

Prison Zombies

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.

Gift Appreciation

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.

The Fundamental Dieting Advice

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.

Five Tips for Inexpensive Holidays

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.

Releasing Harmful Gases

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.
