My Super Mom

Today is Mother's Day. First thing I did when I arrived home was to hug and kiss my mom and greet her happy mother's day. I opened my laptop and checked Facebook and my news feed was flooded by posts of greetings and things about mother's day and how they loved their mother. I admit I am not showy when it comes to things like this to my mom but somehow, I make it a point not to forget occasions such as this.

My mom was a single mom. And it's sad to say that society wasn't that open-minded to single moms during the time that she brought me up. I know that my mom sacrificed a lot for me to a point that she gave up some of her happiness just to raise me. However, I haven't realized it until I was an adult but, I now understand what she did for me I am thankful for everything. I may not be able to level my efforts to her sacrifices but I aim to at least make her happy in every way that I can for the rest of her life.

Most Texters=Cheaters? Do texters have more tendency to lie?

 At some point in time, Philippines was dubbed as the text capital of the world, and we Filipinos send 1 Billion text messages in a day. I find it not hard to believe since even a person that falls below the poverty line has a cellphone, and even a student who always borrows a pen from his seat mate can still spare some amount to buy load for his mobile phone than to buy a pen.

Text messaging has taken the world by storm. In this digital age, compared to e-mail or voicemail, it is one mode of communication that can be easily distributed and be received. But this great advantage is also its disadvantage. Recent study says, that people trust text messages less compared to other  mediums of communication, and that lying can be easily done via text than in phone calls.

Hacktivism: The New Age of Uprising

Last week I mentioned that I will post series of infographics for you. So here's another treat to give you some cool information while having an eye candy.

Just yesterday when I was watching the news on TV, one of the headlines that got me interested was that a few hackers infiltrated several sites from China, including one of their government sites. according to the news, it all started when some Chinese hackers bugged the University of the Philippines' website and posted “Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) is Ours!” just a few days ago and yesterday, some Pinoy hackers retaliated back and brought down several Chinese sites which include one of China's government sites.

I'm a Proud Gamer

It's been a while since I last posted a blog. Life has been busy for me this past few months, in work and in other stuff.

Lately, I was fond of reading articles and my favorite things to read over the net are Infographics.

According to Wikipedia Infographics or Information Graphics "are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education."

I will continue to share more of these on my future posts and since I am a gamer my first infographic is about playing computer games have beneficial effects. From improving the brain up to therapy treatments, according to research playing games helps us to be more creative as well as curing phobias and vision defects.

Our Love Story Song

I met my soul mate in 1997 but we didn't realize it until 14 years after.

I was at my freshman high school when i met her. She was our student leader for our class and she was a year older than I am. She is pretty, bubbly and smart, and she is one of the top of her class. An all-in-one package if you may say, and maybe the reason why I have a huge crush on her, but that was it.

Time flew. We both graduated high school with no major event happening between us except me having a crush on her.

Crowded by 94 Million

Earlier while I was watching either National Geographic or Discovery Channel (not sure where I saw it), It was mentioned that by 2015, Earth's population will bloat up to 9 billion and this got me curious to check what is the Philippines' population today. Upon checking Wikipedia, as of July 2011 Philippines has a whooping 94 million!

A Heritage of Smallness: a shame in Filipino Culture

It all started when I saw my friend's video post in Facebook about Lourd deVeyra's mini documentary: The word of the Lourd. As I browse through his previous videos, I saw one episode entitled "A Heritage of Smallness".  As I got more engaged with this, I read our National artist: Nick Joaquin's essay. from there, I realized that we Filipinos truly think small and yes, I am not exempted from this way of thinking.

Men's daily fashion rules

Ok, my girl-friends asked me to do this article. I’m not a fashionista myself but at least (I think) I dress pretty much acceptable to their standards. A while back, I posted something on my Facebook wall about simple fashion rules from www.PinoyGuyGuide.com and that was when they asked me to write this so here goes.

The 1st Black Sheep Wall Post

Hi everyone! And welcome to my blog. Ok, before we continue, I will just make a disclaimer that this is a freehand blog. Means, I’m currently typing whatever is coming out of my mind at this very moment. So please don’t lecture me of my punctuations and my flaws in grammar because I’m not a Literature Major, heck! not even an English major! Just to let you know, I’m a Computer Science graduate, and back in college, we write in codes and in syntax just like this:
