Im going thru changes

Fool of Grace no more.. well im still foolish as far as thinking out of the cube is concerned... but I think i have outgrown the title..

Years ago, around 2001, I had this newbie website.. and it has now transformed into a blog.. and im sure, soon, it will transform into another valuable thing.. Watch out for it ;)

Meanwhile, i googled fool of grace and have found this a flattery..

Tapos nag wide-eyed ako ng isang second dito.. weird lang..

Filipino Culture

Recently, i got hooked up watching videos of ilikegrass.. they are Filipinos (or with Pinoy blood) living abroad (in Canada) and they created some videos to show bits of Filipino culture to their non Filipino friends.

Although some might be offended.. but i really think it is funny ^_^...

besides, some of them are true but was just presented in a lighter way so we can laugh and have a good time ^_^. Check out the video: How to act Around Filipinos

Pikon talo ha... Have fun ^_^

Sign Language

One of the most memorable moments I had in Bohol was to hang out with my twin cousins in the buzz cafe at ICM, while viewing youtube.. apparently the medium we both can relate to..

i know little sign language so we try to communicate using pen and paper... or do gestures like thumbs up, down, middle.. or the gun shot gesture for a boring video ^_^


I highly recommend the videos we both have watched that made a strong impact on me.. hopefully, it raised awareness on you too..

The title of this post was taken from the Wordcamp Philippines website

I drooled for a few seconds then posted this new post. Nothing really spectacular, just was amazed by the title. ^_^

Steve Jobs commencement address quotes

Funny that a non college graduate is now one of the most influential person today according to Time Magazine..

I'm talking about Steve Jobs.. one that changed the meaning of Apple.

I'm not really against formal education nor anti intellectual since I earned my masters (tuition fRee harhar) and was deans lister during my college days (damn my profs actually believed i was smart tsk tsk)..

Its just that life has this weird ways of imparting wisdom.

Life really is ironic.

You can view Steve Jobs' commencement address speech that strucked me and made me ponder over and over again here

Favorite quote from the video:

" it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life"

" You’ve got to find what you love... The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it"

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
