Just another meme

I was tagged (dared is probably the more apt term) by quite a number of bloggers to do this meme. It's been quite sometime since I did something like this so I thought I'd give it a shot. So here goes.

1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
A bunch of grapes. Not all at the same time, of course, though I've also done that.

2. Where was your profile picture taken?
May this year at Caluruega.

3. Can you play the guitar?
I still have to meet a male person who grow up in the Visayas who can't strum the guitar.

4. Name someone who made you laugh today?
Someone at work we call Migs (long story). He was trying to be cute and well, he wasn't. Lol.

5. How late did you stay up last night and why?
Had to finish XXX because they showed something that involved the Bank I work for. Lonnggg story.

6. If you could move somewhere else, would you?
Yes. To Bangkok. If not, Tagaytay would do. Assuming I could afford it.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks?
Nah. I guess the people I've been with while watching fireworks were also more interested in the fireworks than in doing anything else.

8. Which of your friends lives closest to you on Facebook?
Which of my friends in Facebook live closest to me? How about my kids? They live two doors away from me.

9. Do you believe ex's can be friends?
Why the heck not? I am friends with all, as in ALL my exes.

10. How do you feel about Dr Pepper?
I am sure I have an opinion of him if I knew him.

11. When was the last time you cried?
Saturday. Graduation of DLS-CSB. Read my post about it.

12. Who took your profile picture
Raymond, my student.

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of?
Hmmm...am not really into taking pictures, but I guess that would be my students while they were doing an activity in class last week.

14. Was yesterday better than today?
Not really. But philosophically, I guess it should be because the alternative is unthinkable.

15. Can you live a day without TV?
Yup. As long as there is a good book and something to munch on.

16. Are you upset about anything?
I try not to be. But I do get upset when I witness pure unadulterated meanness.

17. Do you think relationships are ever really worth it?
Again, the opposite is unthinkable.

18. Are you a bad influence?
Sadly yes.

19. Night out or night in?
Depends on what I am in the mood for. But mostly...night in.

20. What item(s) could you not go without during the day?
Ipod, credit cards, macbook, books.

22. What does the last text message in your inbox say?
My daughter asking to be picked up by the driver.

23. How do you feel about your life right now?
Can be better, but I feel blessed.

24. Do you hate anyone?
Nope. I try not to hate anyone.

25. If we were to look in your Email inbox, what would we find most?
Stuff from my professional email groups.

26. Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass?
Sadly, yes.

27. Has anyone ever called you perfect before?
Yes, but I guess it was with sarcasm.

28. What song is stuck in your head?
Today it was Stevie Wonder's Knocks Me Off My Feet. LSS.

29. Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m., who do you want it to be?
No one I can think of right now.

30. Wanna have grandkids before you're 50?
Nah. Please god, not yet.

31. Name something you have to do tomorrow:
Deal with stress.

32. Do you think too much or too little?
My problem is that I think too much; it's like a disease.

33. Do you smile a lot?
I wish.

Open Letter To Our Leaders

Dear Tita Cory, Senators, Congressmen, Businessmen, Media people, Leftists, and all Bleeding Hearts Out There: I am angry. And I know that there are many out there who are angrier than I am for the same reason. And that reason is simple. I am sick and tired of all you guys claiming to speak for me and many Filipinos. I feel like screaming every time you mouth words about fighting for my freedom and my rights, when you obviously are just thinking about yours. You tell me that the essence of democracy is providing every citizen the right to speak his or her mind and make his or her own informed judgments, but you yourselves do not respect my silence and the choices I and many others have made. In other words, your concept of democracy is limited to having your rights and your freedoms respected, at the expense of ours. I am utterly flabbergasted that you still do not get it: we already responded to your calls, and our response has been very clear - we chose not to heed your calls to go t

Farewell, Victor

Image
This is my column today. Renato Victor Ebarle Jr. was at the prime of his life; barely 27 years old and just starting to build his career in human resource management. At the time of his death, he was recruitment manager of the Hotel Peninsula Manila. To say that he still had the whole world ahead of him sounds like a cliché but those among us who actually knew him, those among us who were aware of the kind of passion he had for life and for his work, people like me who had the privilege of having been consulted by him on many professional matters, know this with a certain degree of certainty. I was Victor’s professor in three major subjects when he was in college. In each one of them, he sat at the first row, which said a lot about the kind of person he was. Professors know this for a fact: Bullies don’t sit in front of the class where they cannot annoy anyone. I was his thesis adviser and he and his team spent a whole academic school year trying to break new grounds on the question o

A pathway towards better clarity of the issues on RH Bill

I have been very, very busy lately. In addition to helping manage a merger between two financial companies on top of my other jobs (managing human capital development initiatives in a major bank, teaching, writing, social development work, etc), I also had to manage a national conference with 1,500 participants. I have not opened all my emails in my yahoo account for weeks. I tried to weed through the tons of emails today and found this gem, forwarded to me by a colleague at the De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. I don't know who the author is. There are still points about this analysis that I dont agree with, but I think it is a fairly comprehensive take on the issues. Thus, I am reprinting it here. I do agree with many points of the analysis. In particular, I agree that the way to move forward is to focus on agreements and to conduct the debate in a civilized, sincere, and ethical manner.
