Parang ‘parapluie’ na hindi na ‘parasol’

“Parapluie” and “Parasol” are two French words for umbrella: yong una pag ang payong ay ginagamit kung tag-ulan (pluie is for rain), yong pangalawa pag ang payong ginamit kung tag-init (sol is for sun).
Earlier when I went down of our residential building for the day’s errands and responsibilities it was raining. I didn’t bring an [...]

Nothing Personal – is there anything like that?

“Walang personalan, trabaho lang!” [Literal translation: Nothing personal, it's only my job!]
That is a movie-popularized Filipino line that is use by bosses, employees, clients or someone who are doing business in the Philippine business and corporate community. I guess OFW’s, expats and other nationalities are using this line too!
Mostly someone uses this when [...]

Set Your Mindset Right on the 1st Week of 2010
