OBAMA: against outsourcing?

I used to read news a lot but then I got tired reading the same scenario over and over again. Who wouldn’t when all you will read about are the same old story….one pulitiko will find something about another…announce it to the whole dung world…people will take notice and it will be the center of attention…that is until another pulitko comes up with another dirty thing about the other…its actually a cycle…a very vicious one at that. Another scenario, we learn something that the first family, GMA or FG has done… again, its BIG news. The next morning, something happens and we forget about the other news. Cover-up? Most likely, YES. So, who wants to read the news?

Anyway, every now and then I get the urge to read…and I was sad to read about this. I am not an Obama fan. I am not a Bill Clinton fan. But, for now I like Hillary. I think she has more balls than her husband ever has. This news gave me more reason not to like Obama….although, there’s not much difference between Obama and Clinton.

Going back to the news I read, it said Obama will act against those companies who outsource jobs. Arggggghhhhh, if he wins then does that mean I will lose my job as well as the rest of those working in all the BPOs around the world? We have a lot of them in the Philippines; the more popular ones are the call centers but there are also medical transcriptionists and many others. Whatchuthink? How will this affect us?

25 Manners You Should Teach Your Kids

While reading some parenting articles, I read this one article about manners that I knew I had to blog about it. Kids are easy enough to teach manners, it's actually following it up that sucks. Because when they see somebody else doing something really gross but funny they tend to do the same thing...that is when it's crucial to say it is wrong. If they get away with it even just once then they will do it again. Pin It Parents tend to let them get away with it, especially when they do it in public and some people find it hilarious. Make no mistake about it, there are people who find it really funny when a kid burps so loud, well, this still falls under manners right? Seriously though, at my age, I still tell my dad where am going and how late I will be home and I expect my son to do the same thing...for me that is simple courtesy. And up until now, I remind my son to say thank you (he does say thank you normally but sometimes when busy he seems to forget). Not reminding h

Remembering 9/11: The Legacy of Marie Rose Abad

The Americans in the US were not the only ones paying tribute to their loved ones who perished in the different events that made up what we call the tragedy that changed the world, Sept 11. Maybe unbeknownst to many Filipinos, there was one American married to a Filipino who died that day. And her legacy lives on in a once squalid and reeking with garbage slum in Manila turned into an orderly village that bears her name with 50 brightly one-storey colored homes built in her memory by her husband. As the world pays tribute to their fellowmen in the US, residents of Marie Rose Abad GK Village offered roses, balloons, and prayers for their benefactor. According to her Philippine-born American husband Rudy, he had it built in her memory in 2004 as a tribute to their 26 years of marriage and her unfulfilled desire to help the poor in the Philippines. This she saw when they first came here in 1989. After having described to her the Philippines as a paradise, they were appalled to see t

Things A Son Should Know Before He Turns 18 and Leaves Your Side

Family and friends know how much I love making lists. From list of things to do to list of things to live by and lists of what to buy today or in the near future. I write articles with all kinds of lists that have included the list of the most beautiful liberal art colleges to smart and beautiful politicians and even the most worthy WAGS. So when I read an article with a list of what one mom believed she must give/teach her son, I loved it. Though I do not remember if it was a blog post or an article but it certainly stayed in my mind and I vowed that one day I would make one for my son. As my son grows older there is a certain satisfaction in me because we have come this far but there is also a degree of fear that my kind of rearing may have done a damage or two. Looking at my son and how he interacts with society, I think I can give myself a pat because he turned out right. Still, I can’t help but worry that in the future he might make a mistake. Am not saying he is not entit
