Many skeptics out there wonder why a lot of people still believe in zodiac signs. A number of people will tell them the many reasons why. The most common reasons for this belief are the following: it gives them a heads up on what's going to happen in their lives, they believe it explains who they are, or it will help them find what they are looking for, whether it's the life their destined to live or the person they were meant to be with.

Andito lang kami, Kuya
Kanina lang ay pinanood ko ang inauguration ng bagong pangulo ng Pilipinas, Benigno Aquino III. Sa totoo lang, napaiyak ako…inisip ko, sya na ba talaga ang makakapag-bago ng Pilipinas? Makalipas ang mahabang panahon, sya na ba ang talagang makakapagbangon sa bayan natin? Sa isip ko, sa wakas, makikita na ng henerasyon ko ang matagal na naming minimithi.

World of the Weird
I started this fun segment a few months ago in our mid-morning show over 89.5 FM Subic Bay Radio called World Wide Weird news, or the Triple W news. Here, DJTommyG and I get to read and talk about the oddest news from all over the world.
The Triple W News is basically along the lines of the Corey & Jay Show, a radio program co-hosted by Corey Deitz and Jay Hamilton currently based in Little Rock, Arkansas on 100.3 The Edge. They have these segments such as Head Up Your Ass Headlines, When Animals Get Pissed, Police Blotter and a couple more wherein they read the weirdest, funniest and even the most gruesome news stories taken from different sources from around the globe.

We are all mortal, and don't you forget
Picking up my fifteen year old daughter one day from school, my partner and I were talking about current affairs, specifically this freak show we call election campaign that is now preoccupying the entire country.
When out of the blue, my daughter asked THE question...a question that has probably baffled even the most wisest of sages: "Why are politicians corrupt?"

2000s
I still remember when, as a kid growing up in the 80s, the year with numbers above 2000 for me was unthinkable. And if I ever thought of it, my mind was filled with images of flying cars, humans co-existing with aliens, humans living in outer space, terminator robots wreaking havoc outside major cities protected by geodesic domes, and mind-controlled home appliances (just think of a hamburger and, viola! out it pops from your futuristic oven).
But alas...none of these stuff ever happened. Well, except for wireless communication devices (reminiscent of Star Trek) which was definitely on top of my sci-fi inspired gadgets of the future...and it did happen.

Kudos to OFW Bloggers!
We all say they are the Philippines' modern day heroes, sharing their homegrown skills and talents to the rest of the world miles away from motherland while contributing considerably to the nation's economy - the Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW).
Enter the age of the internet, and a new species of Pinoy overseas worker emerged...the OFW blogger.

A deadly vocation
While driving my daughter to school, my partner and I were having this heated debate about the recent massacre in Maguindanao, killing among others, more than two dozen innocent print and broadcast local reporters who were only there to do their job.

[Here's the much-awaited sixth installment of my translations of Bob Ong Quotes. Enjoy!]
Kung paniniwalaan namin kayo na hindi naglaro ng tubig kahit na basa ang damit n’yo, kayo ang niloloko namin; hindi kayo ang nakapanloloko.”
If we are to believe that you are not playing with water even if your clothes are wet, we are fooling you; not you fooling us.

Bob Ong Quotes...Translated (part 5)
ON LIFE
"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."
It's not loneliness or fear that's tough to face when alone, but in acknowledging that of the billions of people in this planet, nobody fought just to be with you.
