NikNok Manok - Funny Komiks

Reading is so much fun when I was younger. Kahit medyo mahirap ang buhay noon, nakukuha ko pa ring bumili ng Funny Komiks at kung hindi makabili pwede kang umarkila sa harap ng iskul o kaya manghiram sa mga kaklase ko noong nasa elementary pa ako.

Sinong bata noon kaya ang hindi makakakilala kay NikNok Manok, ang batang mahilig sa chicken! medyo may pagkabulol at lola's boy. The Pinoy version of Dennis the Menace.

Who would also forget the tandem of Matsutsu and Bardagol in the Planet Opdi Eyps.

Andyan din si Super Dog, Dr. Wolf at Propesor Hyena.

Happy childhood and memories.

Bachelor of Laws Major in Impeachment

Gusto mo bang kumita ng malaki at makilala kahit pro-bono ang mga gagawin mo? Magaral ka ng Bachelor of Laws - Major in Impeachment. Di ka gagastos ng malaki, manuod ka lang ng TV – yon ang mga classrooms mo. Biruin mo, libre ang tuition basta may registration ka sa Meralco. May dahilan ka na angkinin ang TV nyo....'hoy alis dyan at may lecture ako about Bank Secrecy Law...!" o ha! makalaglag upuan yan brother!

Enjoy the classes at the comfort of your own home! Ang lufet di ba?! Daig ang mga power point presentation na kinopya lang sa internet. Di kalibre ang mga professors mo - may mga senador, mga congressman at mga di-kampanilyang mga abugado – again, pro-bono!

Para malaman mo kung ok ang pagrereview mo, makipagdebate ka sa mga tambay sa kanto, siguraduhin mo lang na ‘di nakainom o may utang ka na ‘di nabayaran sa kanila. Hindi mo na rin kailangan pang kumuha ng notes… pumunta ka lang sa website ng mga TV Stations at ginawa na nila iyon para sa iyo.

Ang sarap maging abugado… manalo – matalo may acceptance fee ka, tatawagin ka pang Panyero... ang yaman pakinggan - 'di ba Panyero?

Magenrol ka na! Bachelor of Laws – Major in Impeachment. May scholarship ang Malacañang - grab the opportunity.

Re-Unions - Batch 86' Batang Pio del Pilar

Re-Unions

Year - 1986, I was just an ordinary student attending an extra ordinary class made-up of the best Grade 6 students of Pio del Pilar Elementary School I. We've had our share of sacrifices, by having our classes in the covered court of St. John Bosco Parish - rain or shine, people power or revolution, we are there (1986 is an important year in the history of the Philippines). Our old wooden school (Pio Del Pilar Elementary School I) was torn down and has to undergo construction. I remember, few weeks before the construction, I was helping my teacher (Mr. Taburnal) in making a walkway in the middle of our school garden... what a timing!

There are times that it's hard to understand the lectures, the sound of the jeepneys and the noise made by other classes - blackboards are used as divisions of makeshift classrooms, can drown the tired and weary voice of our devoted teachers.

At that time, I was afraid and don't want to graduate (it's a secret), for I am unsure if I can continue my studies, but with God's grace and hard-work by my parents - what happened next is a story that I will tell later – by the way I am an Industrial Engineer and taking my MBA.

Year – 2012, one can really never tell what’s beyond the bend… old ties are being re-united, long lost friends are found and best of all - making confusing meet-up schedules and plans – adding more zest and excitement. I love Re-Unions, I love listening to stories of miss-adventures and "first loves" - it also makes me remember the stupid and crazy things that I made or in connivance with buddies. My youth is filled with stories worth telling - how I wish I was young again... no regrets, it's just a wish anyways.

By the way - I am at the Top Row, 4th from the Left.

Sun, Sand and Water - It's More Fun in the Philippines

It's more fun in the Philippines - I agree. 

An archipelago comprising of 7,107 majestic islands, the Philippines is categorized broadly into three main geographical divisions - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.


The Philippines is so diverse that a lifetime is not enough to discover its secrets and wonders.

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
