I rode a tricycle this afternoon from my bestfriends’ place to MRT station here in Metro Manila! On the way I remembered that in my last travel to Bangkok I rode a toktok from a, now burned, mall to the hotel where I stayed.
I find a very close similarity between these two mediums of transport [...]

Today’s earthquake tips are what to do during the earthquake:

If you are indoors stay there!
When I was a little boy, I was taught that the safest place indoor during earthquake is under a table, yet lately there was an unofficial report that the best place to be during earthquake is at a receiving room [...]

There has been a lot of fears brought about by successive massive earthquakes around the world: Haiti, Chile, Indonesian, Mexico-West Coast USA, Afghanistan, Spain, China and, just yesterday, in Australia! We are very much anxious about it here in the Philippines because we are in the Ring of Fire region.
The fearful feelings of people are heightened by apocalyptic [...]

Some people sent me messages regarding the earthquake in Haiti.  They asked questions about God! Specially when Pat Robertson made an unpopular comment which gathered a lot of unfavorable responses from non-Christians and Christians alike.

The very first Bible reading schedule I had for January 1 was Matthew Chapter 1, verses 1-17, the genealogy of Jesus.

One…had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus saw him…he asked…”Would you like to get well?” (5,6)

“I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have [...]

Bible Story:

Philip replied, ‘It would take a [...]

My post today will be a story.
There was once a rich man known to be scrooge, like that of Mr. Ebenezer of the story ‘A Christmas Carol.’  When he invited his certain gentle & meager neighbor for a Christmas dinner, the poor man was surprised but relented.
On the appointed time when the neighbor arrived at [...]

While browsing over the net my eyes were caught by a blog, which I believed, appropriately an interest by many urban professionals here in Metro Manila.  I asked the permission of the blogger, Mr. Carlo S. Ople, to allow me to repost that blog here at ‘The Workplace’ he approved, thank you a lot Carlo!  [...]
