Today eventually let me tell you the best carinderia near my place.
This carinderia has no name only “Bulaluhan” – which they serve more than bulalo but all sorts of ‘totoong’ lutong bahay dish. They have seafood, vegetable & the best cooked rice for a carinderia!
What made it exceptional from all the other carinderias I mentioned [...]

Near by my place are several Carinderias with lutong bahay delicacies.  And all of them offers serving price excellent for thrifty clientele.  There was one that I became a regular patron. Here’s why I choose that Carinderia. I will start with the one I least like to the one I like most…

“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 [...]

Sorry for not posting for quite sometime in this place because I was very preoccupied recently with some event planning.  Now, allow me to share thoughts from my Bible reading.
Are there people who irritate you in your workplace? The gossips and those who are only working when the boss is around, or those who feels [...]

We saw yesterday afternoon and last night the awarding to another Filipino an international recognition! Efren Penaflorida was named CNN 2009 Hero of the Year!
He never harmed anyone to receive such title. You cannot hear any bad issues about his character and no scandal was attached to his name! A friend of mine commented in [...]

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!  [...]

This week the NAME we always hear is Pacquiao because of his fight with Cotto on Sunday morning!  Manny the Pound for Pound Boxer!  Manny the Filipino Hero!  Manny the cover of Time Magazine!  Manny the singer-actor!  Manny the future politician!  Manny the formerly poor kid of GenSan!  Manny the son of Aling Dionisia, now [...]

This November 11, 2009 night I came from the post-Midweek Experience nice dinner with some grace placers (check our church’s website www.graceplace.ph).  Tonight I felt the coldness of Amihan, the Holiday monsoon wind (north-easterly), a sign that Christmas season is really approaching!
.”…Pasko! Pasko! Pasko na namang muli, tanging araw na ‘ting pinakamimithi…ang Pag-ibig naghahari!”  While [...]

It was very rainy yesterday because of the Amihan (North-easterly wind). Many eastern provinces in the Philippines were flooded, there was not even a single storm announcement.
