the art of giving...

You give with your heart.
You give and not expecting something in return.
You give because you are not told to do so.
You give not for the photo opportunity.
You give not for other people to know.
You give because you feel it is right.

Am I a good giver? Not really, but when I do, I make sure that I'm doing it because I want to. Why am I saying this? Just yesterday I saw a bunch of people in their fancy cars gathered a number of pedicab drivers and had their photo taken while giving out some bags of goodies. I really thought that it was really meant to share some love to all those people who went out their  way believing they'll get something but later daw a lot of them leaving the area with not a single bag with them. Maybe I am wrong to judge other people or maybe they were paid after that or maybe they really allowed themselves to be part of that but the very least I could say is this shame on you people who uses the poor to look good in the eyes people. I just hope I am wrong on this one, if I am, my apology. 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
