I said to myself before that having a cell phone for communication purposes is enough for me. Until I needed a cell phone that I could use it for my line of work which is to be connected all the time for my clients. In the absence of broadband sticks and 3G laptops before, I choose a cell phone that I could to be partnered with my laptop. Until a year after,  sticks and 3G laptops were launched. Now with the availability of tablets and smart phones, you can have it all in your palm of your hand. Adding to that, the launched of iphone 4S is believed to be like having your own personal secretary anywhere you go.

Our sympathy to the thousands of families affected by the recent storm that hit Mindanao provinces and some parts of Visayas, especially to those who lost their  love ones in this tragedy. As we saw those images that came out in the news, hundreds of bodies were just lying everywhere. These are men, women and children. There are still  bodies discovered dead after three days of that tragedy. As we all know, this is not nice to smell even your Black and Mild cigarette cannot  help apart from the fact that these are sad sights to see. We can only hope that they will be given a decent burial.

It is really hard to wake up early in the morning now after the high humidity and heat of the previous months and even during a rainy season. Now it is starting to get cold especially early in the morning. This cold or should I say very cold weather which is believed to last until February of the next year. December is fast approaching. Aside from the holiday, it is also bonus season. Just be careful about bringing items in the groceries and department store counters to have it pass through a posguys barcode scanner. Just buy what is really needed and important. It is also advisable to buy early now to avoid price increases.

I was not able to experience some of the Filipino traditions such as the “harana’’ or serenading someone you like in her home, and also those hard work to be experience as a so-called “acid-test” if you want to court someone. As what we have seen in some classic Filipino movies, a man used to help in the household chores of the girl he wants to have a relationship with. However, time changes and things change with time. Unlike before, today a girl can consider herself lucky if a man will visit her in her house. These days, you seldom see a man giving flowers or cookie bouqeuts for $20 since mostly, courtship now is done via sms messaging or chat online.

It is so funny when our son Kyle at the age of seven is already asking us to buy him a watch. We are not sure if he has just seen someone wearing it or has seen someone from his classmates wearing watches. He already has some kiddy watch before when he was still small but he doesn’t want it anymore and he is asking is like those Momentum M1 Watch he has seen online. I remember that I was already in high school when I started considering watches before.

It is really worth the price if there’s somebody in the family who is about to graduate. Imagine the sacrifices not just of those who will graduate but the hardship of the parents in sending their son and daughter in school until they graduate.  For me, graduation invitations are among the best invitations to be received from since it is a testament of congratulating parents for their sacrifices.

Hopefully the academe, teachers will really perform not just their duty as a teachers but to make and mold their students to be better students and persons. They should avoid making their students afraid or traumatize them in  going to school. I really thank and will never forget those teachers I had before. They will not be forgotten because they are part of us and made the best of what they can to make us what we are now. But I am sure there are also some that we will not be forgotten because of the misgivings they committed to us and may affect who we have become.

To those PSP lovers who are always waiting for new psp games releases, I am sure you are already bored with your old games and wanted to try new adventures to play. I know some of you who already finish one certain  game will start to tire with it anymore especially if it is an RPG game. But in my case, I don’t really like those RPG games. I still love sports where I maintain teams or players. For the past two years I just played basketball in spite of those available games my son has.
