Lessons from the Arena

I'm told that there were a few missionaries in a certain seminary here in Baguio that practiced martial arts, Muay Thai in particular. On a normal day I would like to think that they spar, but there was one particular event which stood out. A Korean was sent to the same seminary and, in barely... Continue Reading →

Shoot Me

Before everyone marvelled and started hoarding Absolut Citron, and before everyone spat out Absolut Vanilia, there was Absolut Peppar. It was out since 1986, and I was just wondering if we could get it here.Why? Getting this sort of liquor opens an opportunity for us to try some shots. I'm thinking, Oysters, Wasabi, pureed seeded...

Bad Friday

Last Friday I was talking about how certain bits of news are delivered specifically at the end of the week to reduce any potential damage. I guess I said 'certain' because there are also those pieces of information that we would rather know at the start of the week.Pieces of information, such as 'You'll have... Continue Reading →

Bourne Again

You guessed it; The Bourne Ultimatum comes out this weekend! Or at least Yahoo said so. It'd be ok if they were lying for the hype, because I haven't even finished the book yet!At any rate, if you liked the movies, I highly recommend that you guys read the actual novels by Robert Ludlum. I... Continue Reading →

Bringing Out The Big Guns

I've been thinking of the most recent posts I've had regarding war and how it relates to work, and I've seen a flaw. Regardless of how high we think of ourselves, regardless of how long we claim to endure, we have to think that we can only go so far. This truth was made apparent... Continue Reading →

3 Years To Prepare, 5 Minutes To Say

Revelation just takes time to appreciate. What surprises me even more is that as much as you think you have all corners covered, it still would not prepare you with a good set of words to say when the time comes. I guess your feelings overwhelm you and overtake your train of thought, and apparently... Continue Reading →

Yanked From The Trench

(A follow up to Good Friday) So I went to work today, and I was ready to do the job they set my expectations for last week (see my last post about it - you might have some confusion in finding it as back then, my time zones for both my blog and here in... Continue Reading →

Good Friday

It was in Office Space where I heard that the best time to lay off people in a company is on a Friday, since there are claims that it's more unlikely that something bad (rather, damaging to the company) would follow over the weekend, when most employees, especially managers, are not around. 5 of us...

A Female Deer

Looks like we're all watching The Simpsons tomorrow. It's been a while since I watched a movie with a whole group of friends. Mona Lisa Smile comes into mind. But anyway, I'm thinking tomorrow will be a good day. Every day dubbed as a rest day is a good day. I just used the word... Continue Reading →
