I used to work in the quality control department of a telecoms firm and just reminiscing about those years gives me that feeling of thankfulness. Yup, I could ramble endlessly about how my previous telecom job was fun and challenging despite some personal discomforts like having to wake up early or wearing some stiff corporate […]

…where was I and what was keeping me busy?
Year 2004 brought with us major family changes. We left Cebu, a place we made our second home, where we rented an apartment along a busy highway, where we studied, worked, established our business, made lots of close friends and breathed for many years. Going back to […]

Now as we are in the information age, the usual concept of retirement age (60 or 65) […]

Some people are really gutsy and shameless when it comes to cheating others.
