Year 2009 is not really a big year for me, life goes as usual with a little ups and downs, big story that caught my attention is the death of the former President Cory Aquino. She is the 1st woman president of this country, the one who restored freedom from a dictator and I can say that she is well loved by the Filipino people. Her death did not come as a surprise, she was fighting the big C - cancer. Her legacy will forever be in the books of history and will always be remembered. Now, what's with the incoming year 2010, I don't know, whatever this new year brings, I just hope that it would be for the better of everyone not only to myself but also to all the human beings. Let's just hope that this year will be the beginning of a new life, new leadership and new vision for the better good of man. Year 2010, year of the Metal Tiger! roar! To everyone, Happy New Year! and may the best of everything be upon us with the mercy and the grace of our Lord! Welcome! 2010! BOOOM! peace!

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
