Today is a unoffical national holiday in the philippines, Today Manny Pacquiao fights Ricky Hatton for more than just a belt and a title, both will fight for National honor and pride.
No doubt, Manny is the National Hero of our time, Time stands still and everything stops, even fighting between Govt. forces, Abu Sayaf and NPA unofficially stops. Streets are almost empty and all eyes are glued to the TV.
Filipinos prepare for a Pacquiao fight weeks before, plans are set for group watching while restos and hotels sell live tickets with buffet. Today, There is no economic crisis, there is no crime, there is no traffic, today there is only Manny Pacquiao.
Good Luck to you Manny, today you carry the entire 80 million plus pride and hope of all Filipinos on your shoulders. We hold our breath with every punch you send to Hatton eagerly awaiting the knockout everybody premonitions to happen, we feel the pain with every hit you take from Hatton, distributing it among ourselves so you do not feel the pain.
As endless predictions, discussions and arguments occur among filipinos and boxing fans around the world, One thing is for sure, Manny has left and idelible mark in all of us, Manny has brougth peace in the Philippines and have and will bring Filipino pride to the peak of the world.
A long weekend awaits us starting tomorrow, It’s labor day weekend. Although most labor organizations and unions will be having activities more leaning to rallies and pickets, I will rest for a day. Being a corporate lacky means we work day in and day out, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, so labor day is one of the reprieves we get.
Labor day is for us workers, this includes us corporate lackies, we are recognized, emphasized and given importance. The best way our government and employers can do this is to make it a non-working holiday. And so one day every year, on May 2, we have no work. Let’s enjoy it.
Work hard and play hard also. Have a great labor day weekend everyone !
My Mom was given an Eeepc 701 late last year as she needed it for her consultancy work. After poking around it for a while, I decided to keep the Linux OS and orient my mom with the bundled open office. Firefox was bundled as well.
Today is world graphic design day and to all my colleagues in the business, have a great day everyone ! Unfortunately, this event is not a not-working holiday in this part of the world, they should by the way and I would support any legislature to further this cause hahaha.
Lately, I am a bit overloaded and am feeling drowned with more work, circumstances and the world is conspiring to give me more and more load. As I am a deep thinker, strategizing and analyzing tactical business and career initiatives, this is a bit of a set back, I find myself unable to focus on the things I would like to do.
Just like the world economy, my mood, passion, vigor and everything else has been on down trend, and just like the governments of the world, I tried all sorts of pump priming activities and initiatives. The world economy has seemed to bottom out and maybe I am also.
Our organization has recently started to see the value of social networks in all aspects, we have already recognized the importance of having internet presence and I now am already evangelizing the importance of social networks.
My apologies for the lull in post, I went to Singapore last week together with my family for a quick vacation. We bought tickets last December for a really good price, 2 adults and 1 infant for 3k plus pesos, Cebu – Davao – Singapore. Cebu Pacific had a 2 day Zero Fare promo last Dec. 25 and I grabbed the opportunity.
For a month now, I have enable “location in signature” feature of the gmail. At first I did not think it would work for my location but after a month, it consistently detected my location and appended it on my email signature.
in any organization, you will in sometime encounter a ass kisser, the goody two shoes who is always so close to the ears of the boss you’d think they were making out. But that is just a over exaggeration. In this post, I will try to classify, categorize or stereotype the kinds of ass kissers.
