Illiterates
I had thought adult illiterate Filipinos didn’t exist. I was, however, proved wrong. This incident happened around July last year.
While waiting to get my ATM card from a very long wait, I heard an interesting exchange.
Sunda lagi ang instruction, sir, the teller said in a tone that bordered on annoyance. Or maabtan ta ani ugma.
Follow the instructions, sir, or we’ll end up finishing this tomorrow.
Naa biya nay example dira.
The examples are there.
The teller returned the man’s application forms and went out to do some other business. The man meekly accepted the documents and signed whatever the teller marked.
ID number na bay, I said as I noticed that he apparently forgot to read the instructions. Dili na sign-an.
The Winner that Won it ALL
It has been 10 months now since I started this blog. It never crossed my mind that a simple Boy-Kuripot could change peoples’ perspective of joining Promos and Contests. A good example would be one of my readers, Joy Bahia, The Winner that Won it ALL. She was so overwhelmed by the prizes she have won over the past months that she even visited me and gave me goodies from her L.A. trip with her husband. Yep, she won a Trip to L.A. inclusive of airfare and lodging! And to think all she had to do to win that is send an email at NO COST whatsoever in her part. Amazing isn’t it? Aside from that she won a room makeover from Real Living magazine and lots of other cool stuff. Read more about Joy in her multiply journal

Online Burol: Thinking out of the (Box) Casket
Habang nag babasa ako ng dyaryo, nadaanan lang ng mata ko sa obituary section ng Philippine Star ang isang advertisement, “Online Burol”, napaisip tuloy ako, seryoso ba yung Ad na yun?
Well seryoso nga sila, Online burol nga! “e-burol” ang tawag ng St.Peter Memorial Chapels (www.stpeter.com.ph) sa service nila. May web cam sa loob ng kwarto ng burol at free internet access pa! Target market syempre ang mga may kamaganak overseas. Para nga naman maka-attend parin ng burol yun mga kamag-anak or kaibigan na hindi kayang pumunta sa burol.
Meet Manuel
Meet Manuel. He’s six years of age, although if you look at his tiny, lanky frame, you’d swear he was four. He, his four siblings, and his mother live in a cardboard house on a sidewalk in Metro Manila. None of his siblings (who are eight, nine, and twelve years old) go to school; instead, everyday they ply the streets, barefoot and with grimy faces, looking for plastic to sell to Manong Pete’s junk shop, asking for alms from passersby as they search.
Manuel is not a real person. He is the embodiment of countless of homeless children stuck in [...] [Read More]
The Journal that Actually Challenged the Starbucks Planner
Finally, the Journal that bravely challenged the Starbucks Planner!!!!
This notorious Journal I’m talking about is This Journal will actually Change Your Life!!!TM, which we will shorten as JOURNAL for your reading convenience.
And oh, I actually do OWN one of the “This Journal will actually Change Your Life!!!TM” planners.
And
just a reminder, this post was not created to uplift the JOURNAL’s
credibility, it’s just an objective look at the features of two of the
planners available in the market today.
–o0o–
Segment 1: PRICE
Actually,
as of this post, the price of the JOURNAL is still unknown. It’s still
on its pre-sale marketing stages and most likely, I’m pretty positive
that it won’t cost you a thousand.
On the other hand, the
Starbucks planner appears to be free – since you can have it after 21 –
25 cups of their Christmas brews which for me are quite the treat if
you’re an avid coffee drinker. Hehehe.
