indoor volleyball...

my whole family watched the Philippine womens volleyball team play against team Thailand in west negros college... the jam packed venue of supporters cheering for the national team was silent after 3 sets... this is the 2nd lose for the girls in 4 outings losing their bid for the gold... they played well but it wasn't enough to defeat the Thais... this country has a lot of good players in different field... when it comes to boxing... bowling... billiards... etc.. Filipinos create names and honor for the country... but due to lack of support from the government... they lose the opportunity to compete globally and develop their skills to become more competitive... we have long been dreaming of winning our first gold medal in the olympics... but the most we could get is a silver... maybe this government must design a program that will involve large private companies in supporting our athletes in their training and other international competitions... like giving them tax breaks or alike... in that way our teams are secured in getting their proper training and exposures... and who knows by 2008 in Beijing... Philippines will get its 1st ever gold after a long drought... back to reality.. SEA Games is due to end this Sunday... and on monday back to school na... after the week.. prelim exams na... next is christmas vacation... that's life!

Change is Coming!

After a much heated campaigns the election fever are almost finally over. Pending the final canvassing of votes by the congress the people have chosen a new leader to rule the country for the next 6 years. The presumptive president is a mayor from a city down south of the Philippines known for his iron fisted style of government. What makes this election interesting is the process on how people now choose their leaders. Traditionally, we oath to go for people with great experience, plans, smart and proper character and attitude someone we normally call 'honorable'. This election changed that idea, people now go for leaders with real simple plans to solve recurring problems in the society, strong work portfolio to showcase their capability to govern and implement real solutions. Good luck to the newly elected president, I wish you well in your quest to change this country into something everyone wish it should be. Peace!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The year is about to end and yes it was one challenging and full of adventure 2018. Who would thought that after 10 years I'm still here working in a university, something I didn't even plan to pursue but probably it was a decision that I took and never regretted. Starting from an engineering background which is also the first job I took at a semiconductor manufacturing company for so many years and later going back to college and shifted into programming. To look back, the Singapore trip with my colleagues is one for the books, it was a fun filled adventure going around Singapore, visiting Google Singapore office and Expedia, the food and meeting our former students and workmates who are now based there. Last May, I was fortunate to be given a chance to visit Google at Mountain View, CA and attended the GDG Leaders Summit and Google I/O 2018. Meeting my co-leads from the my own country and the rest of the world is an experience one would appreciate a lot, basically lea

Happy New Year!

It's the last day of the year 2015. Taking time to look back on so many things I witnessed and encountered this year, a mix of adventure, exciting, fun, stressful and heart breaking days meant to happen as a way to learn more things in life and at the end made us stronger than ever and much more wiser. If we pause for a while and try to understand the real meaning of life it is somewhat hard to really understand everything, the purpose, the way it must be lived, the destinations and the endings. With different perspective or views we can't really agree in all points on how it should be done. Each of us lives in a unique world, every day comes as a blessing to all of us and how we spend it will depend on our own individual likings. But as we open our lives to other people we tend to align our days with them which creates a new unique experience for us. No matter how we celebrate life the main goal for me is to be happy with everything, life is not an easy ride and it is a good
