Summer Time....

What is it like to spending summer time in the Philippines ? Getting what I meant? Yea, missing the summer activities and the weather, though it doesn't just gets warmer ...but hotter. :) Summer is always fun in the Philippines , as everybody have their own plans to getaway/outing with families, friends and organization or companies. I always love summer time...for one it such a bliss to be somewhere closer to the sea and nature ...and neither you're with your family or friends. It just gives me a luxury of being at rest...a time that we stop planning, thinking and just as we are...laughing, eating or trying some water sports or beach activities. It's very refreshing. So, remember guys keep away from all your tech gadgets while on the beach or while having your summer getaway. :) Enjoy your summer!!! Some nice beaches we have in the Philippines . Stay away from getting sun burn folks! Have fun this hot summer time!

My hometown...Legazpi, Albay

When summer is coming and when you thought about vacations, I always thought of the place where I grew up. Legazpi, Albay , which is a city and capital of the province of Albay, Philippines. If we talk about Legazpi, we're known for spicy foods and coconut. Also, we're made famous because of Mayon Volcano the Philippines' most active volcano (well I still have a fresh memories about its eruption) and is considered to be the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetrical cone. You can perfectly see Mayon Volcano with the very historical sunken church of Cagsawa. This church, was built after 1724 was buried by rocks and lava during the eruption of Mayon Volcano on February 1, 1814. What I liked about our place is that, it's accessible by land, water and sea. There are so many bus transportation companies. There are 3 major airlines that flies to Legazpi, Philippine airlines has 10 flights a week, and Cebu Pacific flies twice daily from Manila and the ...

One Laptop Per Child? How is this possible?!!!

Few weeks ago ... I had a chance to explore laptop.org from an email and finally join their support-team. This organization reminded me of our SFC service Gawad Kalinga (To give care)which give homes and care to the homeless. The OLPC (One laptop per child)organization is also a non-profit organization which I believed will open doors to many young kids around the world...in which they'll have a chance to gain new skills and perspective. This was so timely for me, I was really looking for something productive to spend my time with, on the other hand it's with my interest and also, to where I can use my experience both in the academe and Information Technology. Truly the evolution of learning now is way too far compare when I was just starting to learn. :) The techno era and culture now brings so much opportunities for children to learn more and help them to think out of the box, not only that they have a chance to collaborate with out spending much or going anywhere. In w...

A Different Approach to Fasting

I know during lent, we all have the tendency to think that it's all about giving up food or vices. But I've received a very interesting way to fast ...and it doesn't entail cutting on food that for some a ...(sigh of relief) hehehe!... whoever is the author of this ...it's a brilliant idea...thanks!;) As a result,here are some creative ways to Welcome Jesus' healing touch. Here are some suggestions you may want to consider at least every once a year. :) 1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love each day. 2. Fast from judging others. Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults. 3. Fast from discouragement. Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life. 4. Fast from complaining. When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has given you. 5. Fast from resentment or bitterness!. Work on forgiving...
