Camanava Rising

It has been a great 2009-10 year for Camanava Brunch Toastmasters Club. The Club that I had almost given up for dead has finally stabilized. The club now has 15 members, the most it ever had since its charter year. It is also enroute to its first ever Select Distinguished Club award.

It actually took three attempts at club rebuilding to get the club where it is now. Back in 2007-08 when I was assigned to rebuild the club, I managed to get the club to receive its first ever…

Toastmasters Update

Yesterday, I went to DESCO Energy Solutions Toastmasters Club in Sucat, Paranaque to mentor the club members. With their irregular meetings, it crossed my mind that I should invite some of their members to clubhop and attend my Saturday morning sessions to hasten their personal and their club's progress. DESCO Toastmasters is a very interesting club and is worth the distance that I travel to and fro.. I really want to see DESCO establish itself as one of the better clubs in the… Continue

Movie of the Month: Clash of the Titans

You know – why worry about the Clash of the Titans reviews? A horse with wings is involved – you're going to watch the 3D special effects, watch them release the kraken, and for giant scorpions and so forth to get hacked up with a sword. As if the acting was going to be par excellence – seriously. Lawrence… Continue

What happened to our students?

What's happening now to our students? It seems to me that many are taking the wrong path of life. Some are involved in riot, class bully and drug or liquors addiction.

Based on Durkheim, the motivation behind the student suicides at Cornell would likely be either egoistic or anomic suicides.

It's not hard to not feel lots of connection between… Continue

Pondering About Blogging

To find an audience for my blogs I have to stick to my niche. Or niches--IP telephony, enterprise information systems, and Toastmasters in the Philippines. I should approach blogging the way I do in Toastmasters in brainstorming topics and writing and delivering presentations. In blogging, I don't have to worry about delivery. Finding time to write for the blog is the bigger challenge. I have to choose to blog over all other interesting things I do.

Writing about food,…

Divine Design Day 1

Last night I watched ‘Julie and Julia’ and became incredibly inspired to write daily. Up until this point, it’s been all about when I can ’find the time’. Ha! Isn’t that interesting. Me, the proponent of, ‘you don’t find the time, you make the time’, telling my friends there isn’t enough time for me to write. I’m just too darn busy. Busy doing what? Let’s face it, if you love something enough, you’ll go out and get it. Right?

I love to write. I love to express my…

Tea Lover Meets Teeth Whitening

I’m a tea lover.. When I gave up coffee two years ago, I turned all my caffeine habit to tea. From green to detox teas, I’ve tried them all. But what I wasn’t ready for in my tea diet was its effect to my teeth. Like coffee, tea stains or discolors the teeth. And because of that I had to go to my dentist for a teeth whitening and implant crown procedure last…

Who's Rules Do YOU Play By?
