According to Wall Street Journal, big technology firms are putting all their chips in and investing in wireless technology. Every major thing in the future will be built on wireless. Shopping, tourism, health, insurance, business, retail, communication, clothing... every major industry will be doing things wirelessly. While I do think most of these businesses are there already, WSJ is predicting that everyone will be there... everyone.
Here's an excerpt from WSJ:
"As early as Wednesday, an unlikely alliance of titans from the cable, Internet and chip industries will disclose they are investing $3.2 billion in a company ...

Was watching Oprah months ago, she had this feature about different families from different cultures who are struggling to make ends meet. I thought, well that's not original. Everyone on planet earth, except probably for the .01% of the privileged few, STRUGGLE all the time. From basic things like putting three healthy meals on the table everyday, medicine for the sick, education for the children, caring for the old... ah the world has too many struggles.
I was about to hit for another channel when SOMETHING ORIGINAL came on.
Enter KIVA.org .
Kiva is a catalyst. It acts ...

I'm a big fan of Francis Kong. He's a business speaker in the Philippines, a well respected member of local & international business communities, a sterling member of John Maxwell's team of management speakers. Above all, I think he's what I will also call "genuine".
I had the privilege of working with this man when I was 25. I've seen him handle various business transactions... all were above board.
I'd like to highlight one of his lectures right here, funny how he can use very simple illustrations to drive a very timeless message. Check this short excerpt ...

Last week, I discussed my primitivo royale writer’s tools to maximize time. Now here is my concept survival kit, because I have yet to purchase any of these, because I had to fill my room with essentials first.
I believe that the tech-savvy writer has to have the best tools of the trade in order to do his or her job excellently. These tools, these gadgets do not have to be the top-of-the-line branded stuff, but as long as they:
are sturdy, durable, and will last you at least two years
deliver decent to great output
serve their purpose and more..
..then they are top-notch in my book. More so if they are as hot as this baby that I deem essential to my career, and am actually aiming to get.
I believe that a writer/blogger, when offline, has to have these essentials
Wonderful news from CNN…
South African Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, just won the right to be eligable to compete at this summer’s Olympic Games in Beijing after sport’s highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.
Judging by the photo above, you’d see nothing but determination… running through his life. He’s been […]
This post is a continuation of my Cliff’s Notes for Who Moved My Cheese, the book by Spencer Johnson, M.D. (also the Author of The One Minute Manager). Hope you enjoy my annotations of the rest of the principles!

This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so […]
If you’re wondering why sexual perversions are happening left and right, front and back and every which way in the world today, why we have such a hideous sexual predator as Austria’s Josef Fritzl, one of the clues is staring at you right now.
Well, it’s not Miley Cyrus’ fault. Definitely not. This 15-year Disney megastar […]
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th […]
Want to go on a shopping splurge without paying even a single cent?
You can try this: Print a copy of the Yahoo news page linked in this blog. Now, go to the mall, shop till you drop, and then go to the cashier. Tell the cashier, “You take my breath away with your beauty.” As […]
Has been quite some time since my last movie out. I’ve always wanted to see The Bucket List too. Is the film really good? There are some Jack Nicholson movies that I skipped because reviews weren’t really great. I’d make The Bucket List an exception BUT hey, if some of you would say it’s not […]
