My Cup of Tea

Just this morning, I read a very sad and frustrating news about this heartless mother from Texas, USA, who had been sentenced to 99 years imprisonment due to the physical abuse she inflicted to her 2 year-old daughter. This news really made me choke in disbelief and horror. How can a mother  got a nerve to abuse her own toddler?Who, at the age of two, is still very innocent and clueless with what's happening around? The story goes that the young mother glued her daughter's hands on the wall and previously hit her in the head sending her to a coma, good that the toddler survived, there must be a good reason why God allowed her to survive. I just can't understand why it happened, what went wrong with the head of that mother, who is suppose to be the protector of her own children and suppose to nurture and nourish them with so much care and love, can really do such repulsive and disgusting thing in life? Didn't she know that it would leave a scar to the child&

Alright! Now, we have this latest law to talk about, worry perhaps?Hmmmm... Republic Act No.10175 , famously known as Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 , is signed into law last September 12, 2012. And since it is already a law, anybody caught committing a cybercrime could be criminally charged in court!Arggghhh. So what's this law all about?Why there's a fuss? Who would be affected?Are bloggers and columnists are in danger? As a blogger who maintained blogs and post several articles online, I am anxious and deeply bothered with this law and how this would affect the style of my writing hehe! Since libel is one of the criminal offenses included in the bill, I should be careful now in attacking famous personalities, my question is : Am I not allowed to criticize.. uhmmm ...Kate Middleton?^___^  Thank God she is not a resident of the Philippines. I am also afraid that I cannot download images anymore for my blogs due to the provision of "illegal access"  

Entry to Politics Campaigning for Bam Aquino, not because of his illustrious family name, but because I believe he can contribute something remarkable in the senate. His passion in the social service would be his best advantage. Bam is a multi-awarded social entrepreneur. He was named Asian Social Entrepreneur of the Year and Young Global Leader  in 2010 by the World Economics Forum, and also named one of the     Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in the Philippines . He is no stranger to policy-making being the youngest chairperson of the National Youth Commission in the Philippines in 2003. Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV. He will be a breath of fresh air in the Philippine senate. An active youth leader and multi-awarded social entrepreneur, Bam Aquino champions financial advocacy and had been in the social service since he graduated Summa Cumlaude at Ateneo de Manila University in 1999 (BS Management Engineering). He co-founded MultiVentures Incorporated in 2006 wh

On September 28, 2012, the UIC community gathered together at the Bajada campus to celebrate one important occasion, another milestone in the history of the university, the installation and investiture of the fifth president, S.Ma. Marissa Viri, RVM.  With pretty colleagues ^____^ (from right) Precy, Cherrie and Juvy at the UIC Bajada auditorium.  At the registration area before the start of the mass. With Neil John, Rachelle and Rochelle. There was a thanksgiving mass at 9:00 in the morning celebrated by Most Reverend Romulo Valles, D.D, the Archbishop of Davao, followed by the installation rites. We then proceeded to the gym for the fraternal banquet and entertainment.  The foods were great catered by Chippins but the area was terribly hot, so bad that I did not join colleagues anymore at the picture taking just outside the gym courtesy of the Immaculatus. The discomfort I felt towards the irritating blemishes on my face made the whole thing unbearable that I decided im

It feels like only yesterday, cramming with my case presentation of MGM Mirage (MGM Resorts International) for my Strategic Management subject ^_____^ Now September is about to end! Why time flew so fast?Seems like the earth has doubled its rotation that the ticking of the clock is as fast as the blinking of the eyes! September 22 , Saturday, after attending our class in Business Research, I and my two classmates went to G.Mall to spend lunch at Dimsum. We'd agreed on September 17 (while dining at Mandarin SM shortly after asking copies from the Securities and Exchange Commission office of the financial statements of the companies we will be working on for our Strategic Management paper) that we would visit Dimsum sometime this month to find out if the food is as good as at Mandarin hehe! Sorry no close up shots for us at Dimsum because my classmates are camera shy hehe At Dimsum, we ordered Beef Brisquet and Chop suey ...and Melon Shake September 23 , Sund

If one day, Santa Claus would come to ask " What can I give you this Christmas ?", I  would really blurt " a pair of double C earrings ! hehe... Yeah!To own a pair of CC drop earrings is always part of my wishes at Christmastime. Love it so much! But the truth is, I am not really into jewelry and never dreamed to waste my hard-earned money on it. The only time I had a pair of gold earrings was back in college courtesy of my mother, it was a pure gold studded wheel design, unfortunately I lost it a year later (sigh!) and my mother was slightly disappointed :-) The only piece of jewelry I fancied to wear is a pair of earrings and my obsession is more on monogram designs that's why I love the double C studs. In fact if ever I could still get married in the future, this will be the only pair of jewelry I would wear in the wedding ceremony, I would choose the metallic stud because as tradition dictates, pearl is inappropriate to be worn as an accessory fo

One day at Pearl Farm.... Samal Suites Row of Samal Houses at Pearl Farm where we stayed Samal House  Relaxing after our arrival Our very good friend and former colleague in the University, Miss Joice Lagat, invited me to join them at Pearl Farm when it became clear that her mother, aunt and sister, could not make it to the wedding of Roy and Juvy last August 21, 2012. It was a blistering Wednesday afternoon when we left Davao and headed to the gorgeous Pearl Farm, a world-class beach resort off the coast of Samal island. Since we're super late when we arrived at the wharf and the boat will be leaving at precisely 1:00 PM we were not able to eat the Jollibee food we bought at the drive thru. We just left it at the garbage can ( sayang !) because we were told that bringing food is strictly prohibited at the resort even at the boat.  Anyway, the weather was fine when we docked at Pearl Farm and we're treated to a fruit juice drink upon our arrival a
