I guess it is no secret that I have not posted in almost two months. I had been on the sidelines due to medical problems.
Wanting to get back into the swing of things; Friday, I started to update different things on this blog. One of the things I needed to do was update the blogging [...]

A True Filipino Role Model

In my last post, I said that the Philippines needed a role model that was not a boxer. I stated that a true role model should come out of the education sector.
Well, my wish was fulfilled this past weekend.
A young educator from Manila by the name of Efren Peñaflorida was voted the 20090 “Hero of [...]

Search for a Filipino Role Model

“We get discriminated against and it is taken against us if we mispronounce a word, but the victory of Manny showed to the world we are equal to them and if we try harder, even better than them,” Greg Cruz, a call center agent from Marikina City, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer, as he emerged [...]

Upgrading to Windows 7 Overseas

I am really confused….
I am considering a purchase of a new computer in the near future. Right now, here in the Philippines, you can not find a computer being sold with the new Microsoft operating system Windows 7. Instead, they all carry Microsoft Vista or even the older operating system Windows XP.
As I understand from [...]

Warm Days – Cool Nights

The past six months have been a very difficult experience.
The typhoons that visited the Philippines this year were extremely cruel in nature. It seems that  these yearly storms are becoming stronger and many experts blame global climate change. So many people lost their lives and many hundreds of thousands  lost their homes and possessions. Many [...]

A New Updated Look at Thoughts on My Day

For quite awhile my wife has been telling me that my blog appearance was some what “depressing.” She said “It is too dark and gloomy and with the purpose of my writing it just gets gloomier!”
Now,  I admit that I listen to my wife’s opinions on many matters but I really liked the dark blue [...]

A Return to Normal Life

The months of September and October have been, especially, difficult in the Philippines.
With so many typhoons, we have been ill equipped to handle all the wind and rain damage. Flooding has been the hardest part to handle. Millions and millions of families have been affected by the extended flooding. So many families have lost their [...]

A Plea for Donations for Philippine Flood Victims

Thoughts
My wife asked me to post the following information. She has posted it on her blog and we, both, feel that this is a very important bit of information.
As many of you know there was a horrible storm this past weekend. This storm flooded 80% of Metro Manila in a matter of hours. It has [...]

America No Longer Global Cop

Opinions
Historically, I believe one of America’s biggest problems has been its propensity to attempt to  solve all the problems of the world.
This habit evolved right after World War II when most of the world thought America could do no wrong. History has proven that theory wrong  as new countries evolved and geo-politics became more complex.
Today, [...]

When a Treaty is Not a Treaty

Opinions
For over 10 years there has been a Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America.
The United States has many of these agreements with nations around the world. What is different with the Philippine VFA is it was NEVER approved by the United States Congress. So, in [...]

Has It Been Two Months?

Thoughts
The last two months have been a bit of a blur. I have had a lot of medical issues, not serious but nagging. I have spent a lot of time resting as many of my medical problems were brought on by stress.
I found that taking a “time out” in life by just resting allows us [...]
