Contributing Writer for Filipino Voices

I just got an e-mail from Nick, the EIC of Filipino Voices. I was confirmed as a contributing writer! Wooo! I’m really thrilled about this since I’ve been following that blog/web magazine for quite some time now. Oh by the way, don’t worry since I will still be regularly updating this blog as well as [...]

The Real Alex Compton

Every Sunday I go to Victory Christian Fellowship over at the Music Museum in Greenhills. This week, the speaker was former basketball MVP Alex Compton. Initially I was a bit worried since I didn’t have a clue as to what a basketball player had to say about spirituality. However, I was really floored after hearing [...]

Rick Astley and Roderick Paulate (OMGWTFBBQ)

Oh man. I just have to re-post this here. I was reading Jayvee’s blog and I followed the links to Gabe Mercado’s multiply site. Apparently they made a Facebook group called “I’m Watching Rick Astley and I Want Roderick Paulate to be the Opening Act.” Little did they know that the producers of Rick Astley’s [...]

My Meez Avatar

I’ve heard of Meez for several months now but I never bothered checking it out until today since Mich asked me to make my own avatar. I was a bit hesitant at first but I eventually ended up having fun making my own “mini-me”! Now If you noticed, I already replaced my profile picture with [...]

I’m on Plurk!

Hey everyone! I recently signed up for a new twitter-like service called Plurk. It’s basically a timeline of what I do everyday or what I want to say at anytime during the day. I embedded the widget on my blog and you should be seeing it in the right sidebar. I’d like to invite all [...]

Mang Jun the Barber

When I was in High School, I used to go to this Barber Shop near Kamuning called Sunday Barbershop. It was my favorite place to get a haircut and a shave because the barbers there gave a long and excellent massage after. I usually gave around P50-P100 to my regular barber, Mang Jun, as tip [...]

Reflections on the Power of Fiction

I’ve been reading a lot of fiction books lately and there are a few things that I learned that made me realize how powerful books can be. Fiction books can fill your mind and heart with a sense of wonder and longing. You want to break out from the routine and try to live the [...]

On Turning 26 Years Old

This year was undoubtly one of the most exciting, happiest, saddest, and craziest year I’ve ever had. To those who don’t know, I turned 26 years old yesterday, July 21. Looking back, I can’t help but smile and wonder at how much life has changed in 1 year. Yes, there have been a lot of [...]

Carlo is the “Executive”: ENTJ Myers-Briggs Personality Test

I took this Myers Briggs personality test online which my new friend from Victory Christian Fellowship, Jonas, shared with me through his own blog. I actually took this test already in High School and College. I also took it last month when we had our Marketing Team Building Session in Pangasinan. What’s amazing is I’ve [...]

Despedida Dinner for Chink

Despedida Dinners can be sooooo depressing. It’s basically your “last” time together with someone dear to you and it brings a lot of people to tears. Last night, I met up with my guildmates from Shadow Circle, a barkada that started from the virtual online world of Ragnarok. While it was really a sad occasion, [...]

Spirituality as “Bonus” Energy

Other than going to VCF every Sunday, I usually have small group sessions twice a week. One is a rather medium sized group with Pastor Dennis, and the other one is with a really small group of around 4-5 people. I made an analogy last week when I was talking with Bu, our small group [...]

Want Money?

Did I get your attention with the title of the post? Hehehe! I would just like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to this coming July 13 (Sunday) at the Music Museum, Greenhills, for the Victory Christian Fellowship service. It’s really special this time around since the topic is one of our [...]

Poker Night at Rob Ty’s Birthday Party

Went to Rob Ty’s birthday party last night with Mich and I had so much fun since they had a poker game going. Poker is one of my other hobbies and I usually play with my officemates at least 2-3 times a month. This time I played with Rob and his school mates from Ateneo [...]

The Biggest Decision of My Life (for now)

I’m currently in a crossroads in my life. On one hand I have a good career that has a lot of potential. My bosses are really good, and they’re always supportive. I can’t thank them enough for molding me into a professional and a leader. I’ve rose through the ranks in the past 3 years [...]

Reminicing College Days

Last Friday night, I went out with my Ateneo college blockmates and it was really fun seeing each other again after such a long time. We met up at Red Box in Greenbelt 3 for a night of good old fashioned singing, drinking, and unwinding. It’s amazing how much everyone has grown through the years! [...]
