Keep creating keep moving.

 Remember the Kodak company? In 1997, Kodak had about 160,000 employees.

And about 85% of the world's photography was done with Kodak cameras. With the rise of mobile cameras over the past few years, Kodak Camera Company is out of the market. Even Kodak went completely bankrupt and all his employees were fired.

At the same time many more famous companies had to stop themselves. Like

HMT (clock)

BAJAJ (स्कूटर)

DYANORA (TV)

MURPHY (RADIO)

NOKIA (Mobile)

RAJDOOT (Bike)

Ambassador (car)

None of the above companies had bad quality. Why are these companies out yet? Because they could not change themselves over time.

Standing in the present moment you probably don't think how much the world could change in the next 10 years! And today's 70%-90% jobs will be completely over in the next 10 years. We are slowly entering the era of "Fourth Industrial Revolution".

Check out today's famous companies-

UBER is just a software name. No, they have no cars of their own. Yet today the world's largest taxi-fair company is UBER.

Airbnb is the largest hotel company in the world today. But funny thing is they don't own a single hotel in the world.

Similarly, examples of countless companies like Paytm, Ola Cab, Oyo rooms etc can be given.

There is no work for new lawyers in America today, because a legal software called IBM Watson can advocate much better than any new lawyer. Thus, almost 90% of Americans will not have any jobs in the next 10 years. The remaining 10% will be saved. These will be 10% experts.

The new doctor is also sitting down to work. Watson software can detect cancer and other diseases 4 times more accurately than humans. Computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence by 2030.

90% of today's cars will not be seen on the roads in the next 20 years. Leftover cars will either run by electricity or hybrid cars. The roads will slowly become empty. Gasoline consumption will decrease and oil producing Arab countries will slowly become bankrupt.

If you want a car you have to ask for a car from a software like Uber. And as soon as you ask for a car, a completely driverless car will come and park in front of your door. If you travel with several people in the same car, the rent of a car per person will be less than a bike.

Driving without driver will reduce the number of accidents by 99%. And this is why car insurance will stop and car insurance companies will be out.

Things like driving on earth will no longer survive. Traffic police and parking staff won't be required when 90% of vehicles disappear from the road.

Just think, there used to be STD booths in the streets even 10 years ago. All these STD booths were forced to close after the mobile revolution came in the country. Those who survived have become mobile recharge shops. Again online revolution in mobile recharge. People started recharging their mobile online sitting at home. Had to replace these recharge shops again. Now these are just mobile phones to buy and sell and repair shops. But this will also change very soon. Mobile phone sales are increasing directly from Amazon, Flipkart.

The definition of money is also changing. There used to be cash but in today's age it has become "plastic money". Credit card and debit card round was a few days ago. Now that too is changing and the era of mobile wallet is coming. Growing market of Paytm, one click of mobile money.

Those who cannot change with age, age removes them from the earth. So keep changing with the times.

Keep creating great content, keep moving with time.

Transparency and good governance is the key.

Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto saves ₱1 billion every year without raising taxes, while Finance Secretary Ralph Recto is proposing to increase capital gains, donor’s, and estate taxes from 6% to 10% to collect ₱300 billion by 2030.

Pasig shows that when public funds are managed properly, tax hikes are unnecessary. Through transparency and firm governance, Mayor Vico delivers real savings without adding burden to the people.

Taxation should be the last resort, not the first solution. Fix the system first. Serve the people first.

In contrast, Ralph Recto’s solution is to demand more from taxpayers instead of fixing the system.

The issue is not low taxes. The issue is poor governance.

A government that fails to manage existing resources has no right to ask for more.

Higher taxes will not solve corruption. Good leadership will.

Kung ang lahat ng kinikita mo ay ginagastos sa pagkain, inumin, at mga party — you're not building a future, nabubuhay ka lang sayong pang araw-araw. 

Sabi ng iba, "Mamatay ka bukas, wala kang dadalhin." ang iba naman, "Nabuhay kami na wala at mamamatay kami na wala."

Oo tama naman. Ngunit hindi iyon nagbibigay-katwiran sa kawalang-ingat. Ang mga iresponsableng pagpili ngayon ay babayaran mo bukas. Tandaan ang kuwento ng langgam at tipaklong?

Ang langgam ay nagtatrabaho, naghahanda para sa taglamig. Ang tipaklong ay tumawa, nagsalu-salo, at tinuya siya: "Bakit kaba nagpapagod magtrabaho? Bukas naman ay mamatay ka!"

Ngunit pagdating ng taglamig, ang tipaklong ay walang pagkain, walang masisilungan.

Humingi siya ng tulong sa langgam. At sinabi ng langgam: "Di ba pinagtawanan mo ako kahapon? Diba sabi mo maikli lang ang buhay at hangal lang ang nagtratrabaho?"

Sa buhay, pipiliin mo: Maging tipaklong, nabubuhay pansamantala. O maging langgam, pagbuo ng isang bagay na tumatagal.

Isipin mo ang iyong kinabukasan. Isipin mo ang iyong pamilya. Hindi sa lahat ng oras magiging ganito ka kalakas. Hindi palaging magkakaroon ka ng mga pagkakataong ito. Paano mo gustong tumanda? Hindi ito tungkol sa swerte. Ito ay tungkol sa mga pagpipilian. Ang ginagawa mo ngayon ay humuhubog kung sino ka bukas.

Oxgen at sea.

 Think sunlight is the only way to make oxygen? Think again. 🌊✨ Deep in the ocean, rocks and water react to create 'dark oxygen' 

 Unlike the oxygen we know from photosynthesis, this oxygen forms when certain minerals in rocks react with seawater. No sunlight, no plants — just the Earth’s chemistry at work.

This hidden process could explain how early life survived before photosynthesis evolved and shows that our planet’s oxygen story is way deeper than we thought. 🌎🔬

Babay Aphids

 Goodbye to mealybugs, aphids, snails, and plant pests: all you need is this product.

• The most dangerous pests for plants include mealybugs, aphids, and snails. It's essential to identify them quickly to avoid serious damage.

• Mealybugs: Gray or white in color, they attack plants in dry environments, absorbing essential nutrients. They hide on the underside of leaves.

• Aphids: These are small insects of different colors (yellow, red, white, green) that feed on sap, damaging leaves and stems.

• Snails: Although they appear harmless, they can devour leaves and fruit overnight, leaving a slimy trail.

Natural insecticide recipe:

1. Ash and hot water: Mix one-third of ash with hot water. Add a tablespoon of mild soap for greater effectiveness. Filter the mixture, place it in a spray bottle, and apply to the leaves once a week for a month. 2. Garlic: Soak a clove of garlic in water for 24 hours and spray the plants with the liquid.

3. Vinegar: Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar in 1 liter of water and spray the leaves.

4. Milk: Mix 200 ml of milk in 2 liters of water and apply to the leaves for fast and effective results.

 Albert Einstein once said:

"Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore."

Here are 9 timeless lessons I’ve learned from him:

1. Don’t Overthink the Future

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."

The future is uncertain, and worrying about it steals today’s joy. Focus on what you have now and keep moving forward.

2. Dare to Think Big

"I believe bold speculation will take us further than the mere accumulation of facts."

Daring ideas have changed the world more than safe ones ever could.

3. Keep Moving Forward

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

Don’t stand still. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

4. Politics Is Harder Than Physics

When asked, “If man discovered the atom, why can’t we solve political problems?”

Einstein answered:

"Because politics is more difficult than physics."

Brilliant minds still struggle where emotions, power, and ego take over.

5. Embrace Simplicity

Einstein believed in “Einstein’s Razor” — removing what’s unnecessary and holding on to what matters.

Simplicity is power, as long as it doesn’t become oversimplification.

6. Education Should Teach You to Think

"The aim of education should be to train minds to think, not to memorize facts."

So read more. Reflect more. Let your curiosity be your best teacher.

7. We All Belong to One Tree

"All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree."

Humanity thrives when we grow together, not apart. We are more connected than we think.

8. Stay True to Your Conscience

"Never do anything against your conscience, even if the state demands it."

Let your principles guide you — especially when it's not easy.

9. What Is Relativity?

Einstein once joked:

"Sit with a pretty girl for two hours and it feels like two minutes. Sit on a hot stove for two minutes and it feels like two hours — that’s relativity."

Perspective changes everything.

Honoring our senior.

Mga anak, pamangkin, apo, atbp: KUNG BINUHAY AT PINALAKI na kayo ng senior (na ngayon), pagpahingahin nyo naman sya. Tumigil umasa, sumandal, humingi, magpabigat. 

Pagpahingahin naman ang senior. Sa abut-kaya nga, si senior naman ang bigyan, suportahan, regaluhan, paginhawahin, alagaan, pasayahin, atbp.

ROLE REVERSAL NAMAN pag matanda na ang magulang/grandparents. 

Ang anak/apo/pamangkin, wag pabebe forever.

Pope Francis wrote.

 Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. ❤️

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...

They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...

It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.

A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...

In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...

A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...

A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...

It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.

The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.

A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.

This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.

Do not criticize your body too much.

Do not complain excessively.

Do not lose sleep over bills.

Make sure to hug your loved ones.

Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.

Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.

You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...

Listen, perfection does not exist.

A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.

Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.

So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.

Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.

Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.

Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!

And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”

—Pope Francis

Relax relax lang senior.

Pag may age na, sa abut-kaya, WAG NANG PUNUIN ANG MAGHAPON NG BUMPER-TO-BUMPER ACTIVITIES.

Dapat graduate na sa ganyang performance level. Wag nang dikit-dikit schedules; lagyan ng gaps for rest, transport time, meals, etc. Kung puede nga ay isang major activity lang per day.

AT maglagay ng day-gaps between busy schedules: kung busy today, rest and relax the following day. Wag sunud-sunud. Kailangang mag-edit ng calendar. Don't force yourself to accomplish more by doing more. Magagasgas lang lalo ang (probably by now ay) konti na lang na health and wellness. Pag burning candles at both ends pa rin ---kahit gurang na ---ay mas maa-advance lang ang departure patungo sa heavenly realms.

SO, RELAX more. Live more by doing less. Don't act like titigil nang pag-inog ang mundo pag nag-relax ka. Umandar ang mundo bago ka isinilang ---at patuloy na aandar ito matapos kang isilang na muli sa kabilang buhay.

Relax.

At sa mga sandaling 'yon, saka niyo marerealize kung gaano kahirap mawalan ng isang magulang. Yung dating nakakainis na paulit-ulit na paalala, hahanapin niyo. Yung dating sermon, mamimiss niyo. Kaya habang nabubuhay pa sila, pahalagahan niyo ang mga magulang ninyo. Mahirap umangat sa buhay ang taong walang respeto sa magulang.

Suicide note

THE SUICIDE NOTE WRITTEN BY A 15-YEAR OLD GIRL - LESSONS FOR ALL. BROKE MY HEART 

“Dear mum,

It’s with a heavy heart that I write you this note, knowing the amount of pain it is going to cause you.

Mum, I want you to know that I love you dearly and will ever love you. If I am given the opportunity to live again I will still choose you as my mum and our family will still be my place of birth.

But unfortunately, I know that there is not going to be any such opportunity.

Mum, I didn’t want to do this, but I was compelled by circumstances beyond my control to take the plunge.

I tried my best to pull through, but my best was not good enough. I battled alone for about thirteen months now until my strength failed me.

You and dad could not decipher what I was going through and maybe I should not blame you for that.

My one and only brother came very close to understanding what I was passing through but it was too much for his young mind to comprehend.

Mum, I know that you and dad loved me and did everything you could to prove that to me but I was not feeling loved.

You provided for me more than I even wanted, took me to places that most of my mates have not even heard of, yet despite all these my heart was longing for love.

I needed someone who would love me for who I was. I needed someone who could reach to the depth of my soul and feel the vacuum there.

The material provisions you spoiled me with could not do that. And I was alone all the while, despite the fact that we laughed together and had gist as a family.

Then came the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Your brother, Uncle Tony who came to live with us, made me to believe that he knew exactly what my soul was longing for – companionship.

He chose to stay with me when you and dad were too busy to notice my loneliness.

He tried to keep me company when I needed someone to talk to but had only gadgets and teddy bears as my company. I was fooled to trust him and he hacked into my foolishness. And he did it perfectly and deeply.

Mum, your brother raped me and used me as sex toy for three whole years. I expected you or dad to notice but none of you did.

When he left our house last year I was shattered because I have grown to fill the void of your presence with his dirty deeds. I couldn’t complain because I was afraid to lose him, but when he eventually left for Canada the magnitude of the emptiness in me became too heavy for me to carry.

I struggled to forget those experiences but I could not. My grades dropped in school and you and dad quickly arranged for a home lesson teacher.

Mum, that singular act instead of helping me fueled what is about to happen to me a few minutes from now.

The home lesson teacher you brought so much reminded me of Uncle Tony and, on several occasions, I felt like grabbing him and making him to fill the gap that Tony’s absence created in me.

Mum, I had to do this because I was lonely. Did you ever imagine what I was doing in my room all the time I stayed there alone? Couldn’t you for once have gone out of your way to just spend some time with me so that we could talk?

There are many things I would have liked to tell you but I don’t want to add to your pain so let those other torments be buried with this undignified body of mine.

Please make sure that my brother David doesn’t get to the point where I am now.

Also, tell your friends and colleagues who have children to find out what is happening with their beloved kids before it gets too late.

Many of the things parents do in the name of showing love are not what we the younger ones need.

I would have gone, long hours before you will get to read this note.

But one cheering thing is that David is still there with you. Transfer the love you had for me to him.

My bank details and the passwords to my phones and laptops are all in the piece of paper I dropped in the drawer of your dressing table.

I miss you and it pains to empty the content of this bottle in my hand into my mouth but I am constrained to do it all the same.

Tell dad and David that I love them. Tell our pastor that I will miss his sermons and long prayers. Tell my friends not to envy me.

Goodbye mum.”

That was the suicide note a 15-year old girl dropped for her mother before taking her life.

You may save someone's life if you pass this story to all contacts in your phone.

1. Parents, do you find yourself to be “too” busy and tired to be in the present moment with your children? Are you more invested in your job and house duties than spending time with your kids? 

2. Let your child know they are loved for who they are, and that you are always there to support them.

3. For the past few weeks, the social media has been awashed with many suicide stories on the pages of the media. Many more may still come.

4. Be a supportive parent and actively listen without judgment and seeking to understand their concerns and challenges. Being a supportive parent means having your child’s best interests at heart but also being present, involved and helpful. 

5. Treat your child fairly and develop a trusting relationship.

6. Always acknowledge your child's achievements and supporting them through mistakes and challenges.

7. Parents, let's ALWAYS be there for our children in the way that we would have wanted our parents to be there for us. 

CTTO: Coolest Human Alive..

Intentional parenting is what the kids of today's generation need. May we become the kind of parents that they need. 

💔😭

#sharingiscaring #internationalparentingday

Adi

 Last na, the exercise on making my personal mission statement. So bold 🙃

I have courage. I will not be fearful of life’s challenges as I know these come my way to make me aware of what I am and what I can be.

I have purpose. I touch the lives of people around me with love, consideration and compassion.

I have responsibilities. I am responsible for myself and my contributions to my family, my friends, my work, my community and my spirit.

I will be guided by the hand of God as my life is used for His Glory through my relationships with my fellow human beings.

I make a difference.

One and only superstar.

 THE SADNESS OF NORA AUNOR

Toward the end of her life she was selling tuyo and tinapa. Even got into a spat with one daughter who accused her of giving her competition, quickly resolved when they were both scraping the bottom of the barrel. 

What a comedown for our one and only Superstar who shot to fame from being a probinsyana selling water at the train station in Iriga town, Bicol, to a wildly popular singer after winning an amateur singing contest, Tawag ng Tanghalan, in 1967, earning her the nickname the "Girl with a Golden Voice".

She had an even more successful career as an actress where she won multiple acting awards, together with cinematic glory for her movies in the international scene.

She bucked the trend that celebrated the mestiza. She was the quintessential morena, petite, with a button nose of a doll and a prominent mole on the cheek. She was cuddiy and adorable before graduating to mature roles in which she earned lasting renown. 

Her unimaginable success was reflected by the series of homes she lived in, from a rented apartment in Quezon City to opulent homes in La Vista, New Manila, Corinthian Gardens before falling back on hard times. 

She also had a long-running television show which was the equivalent to today's ASAP and Showtime. 

Yet, she couldn't find lasting happiness in her personal life. She got involved with married men, including a former president, two-bit actors and composers, even one reportedly lesbian partner. Somewhere along the way she lost her fortune. 

The one and only love affair that held promise was her short-lived marriage to Christopher "Boyet" de Leon in 1975, which was met with disapproval by fans and family who didn't think they were compatible, as if crossing castes, the morena tying the knot with the mestizo god, the Piolo Pascual of his day. 

When the marriage broke down of its own weight, leaving one child to grow up fatherless, she took it all stoically and walked away in silence, even though all of showbiz was waiting for scandalous revelations.

Her family relationships were dysfunctional, especially with her adopted kids, who came into her life when her career had matured and was starting to fade. There was airing of dirty linen in public by the kids but never the mother. I don't think the kids ever enjoyed the luxury she wallowed in when life was lollipops and roses and she was walking on pearly shells. The part of living in palatial homes was but a blur, because she sold them all as fast as she changed partners and traded for humbler abodes. 

Perhaps her kids were resentful she wasn't able to provide for them in the manner of showbiz royalty or stash a good portion of her wealth as their inheritance.

So, what happened to her riches? Some blame drug addiction or alcoholism. I don't think so.

Nora was generous to a fault. It was her yearning for acceptance in the fairy tale world of showbiz that moved her to give away much of her wealth to friends and colleagues. 

Proof of this are tributes by faded stars who, after her death, are coming out of the woodwork to share tales of her generosity or improvidence, as the case maybe: one related that she gifted her with a pair of diamond earrings that must have cost millions; another owned up to borrowing from her that she never asked to be repaid. Multiply these a hundred times and you will have an idea what a bottomless hole she dug for herself to which she consigned much of her riches. 

If she had half of the financial savvy of Sharon Cuneta who was to eclipse her, she would not become a basket case that she was at the end of her life.

She realized too late that celebrity was ephemeral, that it was not a gift that kept on giving. When lucrative starring roles became few and far between, she thought she might revive her singing career but, alas, she lost her voice. Was it alcoholism? We'll never know.

A botched operation on her vocal chords in Japan in 2010 dealt a permanent blow to her singing career. Devastating as it was, she let her stoic self take over and accept the bitter truth. She didn't have any fallback and she was slowly dying. 

By the 2000s, everybody knew that she needed help, that she was a superstar in name and memory only. Perhaps a National Artist award could revive her career, not to mention earn her a stipend. She most certainly deserved it, given her body of work.

Unfortunately, some naysayers with nothing better to do raised her alleged drug addiction and alcoholism as reasons for denying her the award and president PNoy and then Duterte kept swatting the idea as often as she was nominated. It was only in the last year of Duterte's term that she finally got it.

Nora Aunor was embraced by the industry that needed transformation by her unique gifts but it was a pie in the sky that rode out her celebrity until it faded and it was back to the mestizas and the dancing queens and what are called today as nepo babies.

Now that she is dead, how about paying it forward? I mean those who benefited from her generosity who are now shedding tears on her casket, those who got jewelry and borrowed money who didn't lift a finger when she was selling tuyo and tinapa. How about you erecting a statue in honor of the one and only Superstar?

Kahapon, magkausap kami ng Nanay ko at auntie ko. Napunta yung topic sa pinsan na kinasal 2 years ago. Sabi ni Nanay, "bunt!s na pala si _____. Naunahan ka pa." Referring to me. Saying naunahan pa ako ng pinsan ko magbunt!s. Mas bata yung pinsan ko ng around 4 years sa akin. Sumawsaw si Ante sabay sabing "Bilis bilisan mo, tumatanda ka na." 

Our conversation went like this:

Me: hindi naman kumpetisyon kung sino mauna mag-anak. At para alam nyo na, hindi ako mag-aanak. Wala akong plans. 

Nanay: mag-anak ka kahit isa, mahirap ang walang anak. 

Auntie: oo nga. Mahirap pag tanda mo, sinong gagabay at aalalay sayo? 

Me: kaya ba kayo nag-anak? Para may aalaga sayo pagtanda nyo? 

* hindi sila nakasagot pareho. Then Nanay said: 

Nanay: paano pag matanda ka na, nagkasakit ka, anong gagawin mo? Sinong tutulong sayo?

Me: kaya nga ako nagttrabaho ngayon. Para mapaghandaan ko. Pag nagkasakit ako pagka retire ko, makakabayad ako ng caregiver ko. 

I thought tapos na after this kasi natahimik na kami. Pero after some time, nagsimula nanaman si Nanay. 

Nanay: iba pa rin ang may anak. Nakakaawa ka pagtanda mo. 

Me (medyo naiinis na): dapat inaalis nyo sa mindset ninyo na retirement plan ang mga anak nyo. Nanay, inaalagaan ka namin hindi dahil obligasyon namin yon sayo. Ginagawa namin yon kasi gusto namin. Pero hindi mo yan ieexpect sa lahat ng mga anak. Kasi hindi obligasyon ng anak na mag alaga ng magulang nila pagtanda.

Eto lang yung sinabi ko pero at the back of my mind, gusto ko sanang idagdag. Sa gastos ko pa lang sayo, ubos na yung budget ko. Sa maintenance, therapy, luho etc. Saan ako kukuha ng igagastos sa anak? Hindi ko gustong magsumbat. Ayoko ding mabastos si Nanay at si Ante. Pero sana naman, wag din nilang ipilit sa akin yung mga paniniwala

Rest in peace Hajji.

Rest in peace.

 DOF’s Plan to Raise Capital Gains Tax Worries Ordinary Filipinos

The Department of Finance (DOF), led by Secretary Ralph Recto, has proposed increasing the capital gains tax (CGT) on real estate sales from 6% to 10% under the GROWTH bill. If approved, this would take effect from 2025 to 2030, then revert to 6% unless extended by Congress.

The DOF says the move targets the wealthy and aims to raise ₱300 billion in five years. But many fear the tax hike could hurt ordinary Filipinos, especially the middle class, who make up around 22% of the population, while the ultra-rich represent only a tiny fraction.

Potential Effects on the Public:

Lower net from property sales – Inherited land or modest homes could be taxed more heavily.

Less attractive for small investors – Reduced returns may discourage long-term investing.

Higher property prices – Sellers may pass the tax burden onto buyers.

Middle class hit harder – Lacking access to tax-saving tools, they may carry more of the load.

Slower real estate activity – Fewer transactions could impact jobs in the property sector.

As the proposal is being reviewed in Congress, many are calling on the government to consider its impact on the general public—not just the wealthy.

RIP A Girl Named Nora.

 "A Girl Named Nora"

In the dusty heart of Iriga, Camarines Sur—where the sun baked tin roofs and the scent of earth clung to every barefoot child—a little girl named Nora Cabaltera Villamayor walked the dirt roads with a sling of peanuts over one shoulder and a cold bottle of water clutched in her calloused hand. Small and brown-skinned, with deep, expressive eyes too wise for her years, Nora had never known softness. Her lullabies were the whistle of the Bicol Express and the cries of vendors; her cradle, the wooden stoop of their small shack.

But what the world withheld in comfort, it returned—quietly, reverently—in voice.

It was her grandmother, Theresa, who first heard it. Nora would hum, sometimes sing, while counting coins or waiting for passing buses. Theresa would pause her chores just to listen. One twilight evening, with the train rumbling like distant thunder, she sat Nora on a stool and taught her the first song that would ever matter: “The Way of a Clown.” Nora’s voice trembled like a candle caught in wind, but Theresa held her hands and said, “Feel the ache, iha. That’s where the music lives.”

It was the beginning of everything.

Soon, her aunt Belén, a woman fierce in love and art, took her under wing. Belén was not gentle. She scolded Nora when her vowels swallowed each other, when her eyes forgot to weep in song. “To sing,” she said, “is not to make sound. It is to bare your soul—naked and trembling.” And so Nora learned. Word by word. Line by aching line. Her voice grew—not louder, but deeper, richer. It carried the ache of longing, the joy of fleeting dreams.

She joined the Darigold Jamboree, a radio singing contest whose echoes reached far beyond Iriga. She stepped to the mic on shaking knees, then let her voice bloom. “You and the Night and the Music” poured from her lips, and silence followed—not from absence of sound, but because every heart listening had forgotten how to beat. She won. A whisper became a murmur, then a name in every household: Nora.

Victory came again at The Liberty Big Show. But the true test awaited her on the national stage—Tawag ng Tanghalan. Her first attempt ended in failure. The applause that day wasn’t hers. She walked home in silence, cradling her chest as if it might shatter. But she returned. She always returned.

On her second try, Nora didn’t just sing—she bled. Every note was a wound. Every lyric, a memory: of hunger, of dust, of laughter bouncing off narrow streets. And this time, the world listened. This time, she became champion.

But fame doesn’t erase the past. It never does. Behind the bright lights and standing ovations was still a girl who remembered the ache in her feet from long walks in the noon heat, the crack in her voice when she had no water left to sell, the dry taste of peanuts that never filled her belly. She carried those memories into every performance, like invisible medals etched into skin.

And yet, even in triumph, there was sadness. Because somewhere along the climb, the girl named Nora had to leave behind the barefoot child who once sang to forget her hunger. She gave her to the songs—to live there forever.

This is not just a story of success. It is the story of sorrow turned into sound. Of a voice shaped by fire. Of a soul carved from silence.

It is the story of a girl named Nora.

Now, Nora has died—at 71.

The girl who once walked the dirt roads of Iriga, peanuts on her shoulder and music in her bones, has finally fallen silent. But only in voice. Because silence, for someone like Nora, is never absence. It is presence of a different kind—quieter, deeper, eternal.

Her children say she was the heart of their home. “She was a source of unconditional love, strength, and warmth, her kindness, her wisdom, her beautiful spirit… she touched everyone who knew her.”

And she did. Whether as a mother, a mentor, or simply as the woman who smiled at strangers in the grocery line, Nora left pieces of herself in the hearts of others. She was never just the woman on stage, bathed in lights and applause. She was the quiet listener, the steady hugger, the patient teacher of songs and stories.

Her life was not perfect, but it was full. Full of fight, of grace, of laughter. Full of moments no camera ever caught—the way she sang while doing laundry, how she cried softly during old films, the way she called her children anak with a tenderness that healed anything.

Now that she’s gone, it feels like the world has exhaled something sacred.

She will be missed beyond words.

But she will be remembered—in every old record that crackles with her voice, in every breeze that hums like a half-forgotten tune, in the aching beauty of every song sung from the soul.

Because Nora was never just a singer.

She was a story, a melody, a memory.

And now, she is a silence that sings.

And so, if she could speak now—if she could lean close in that soft, quiet way of hers—she would say thank you.

To those who believed in her when she was just a girl with a trembling voice and bare feet—thank you.

To those who clapped in tiny gymnasiums and crowded radio booths before the lights ever found her—thank you.

To those who cheered in arenas, who wrote letters, who waited outside dressing rooms just to say, “You made me feel something”—thank you.

To the ones who grew up with her songs, who fell in love and healed to them, who found courage in her voice—thank you.

To every fan who ever whispered her name like it meant something—thank you.

She carried your love with her, always. In the quiet moments between performances. In the long rides home. In the early mornings when her voice was tired but her heart still wanted to sing. Your love was her fuel. Your belief was her light.

And though her voice has faded from the stage, it lingers in the air—in records, in memories, in the very fabric of Filipino music. In the hearts of those she left behind.

Nora gave the world her voice.

And the world gave her a reason to keep singing.

This is not just the story of a girl named Nora.

It is the story of every person she moved, healed, and loved through song.

And though she is gone, she sings still.

Forever.

Ate Guy.

 Super Star Nora Aunor isang tunay na napakabuting nilalang

NakakaIyak na kwentop mula sa anak ni Miss Caridad Sanchez na si Cathy Sanchez Babao

She would often call late at night, when the world had quieted and only the hum of crickets and the buzz of the cordless phone broke the stillness. Once or twice, I was the one who answered.

“Hello, puede po makausap si Tita?”

The voice was soft, almost hesitant. Shy, but oddly familiar—like a song you half-remember but can’t quite place.

“Sino po ito?” I asked, glancing at the clock. Nearly 10 p.m. Who would be calling Mommy this late?

“Si Guy po…”

What?

A pause. My breath caught. The Superstar herself. Nora Aunor. Ate Guy.

“Sandali lang po, Ate Guy…”

The first time it happened, I stood frozen in place. Starstruck. Speechless. It was the 1980s. She was at the peak of everything. 

Mom and Ate Guy shared a friendship as fierce as it was quiet—something forged in long conversations and unspoken understanding. Through the 1980s and well into the early '90s, their bond held. That was a turbulent season in Ate Guy’s life. She had separated from Kuya Boyet, was raising Ian, Lotlot, and Matet, all while carrying the weight of her stardom and the constant demands of film and public life.

Mom became her sounding board. Their calls would stretch on for hours, the cordless phone drifting from the living room to the kitchen, then to the bathroom, and finally into Mommy’s bedroom—always tucked beneath her chin like a secret. She never said much about the things they talked about, but I knew. I saw it in the way she’d nod quietly, the way she’d sometimes sigh after a long call, as though holding someone else’s heartache gently in her hands.

They had met back in the early 1970s, on a LEA Productions film. But it wasn’t until my father passed away in 1981 that their friendship deepened into something else—something close to kinship. Over the years, I lost count of how many times Ate Guy moved houses. Ten, maybe more. And when a crisis came—and there were many—Mom would drop everything and go.

“Mabilis lang,” she’d say, almost out the door. “May pinagdadaanan lang si Guy.”

One afternoon, after picking me up from school, we went straight to Capitol Medical Center. One of the kids—Matet, I think—was confined. Ate Guy was away. From there, we drove to their house in the Scout area to check on the others. I watched my mother quietly slip into this other role—comforter, fixer, second mother. She had always had a soft spot for her co-stars, but with Ate Guy, it was different. Deeper. Steadier.

There was something about the Superstar that always felt the opposite of what the world imagined her to be. She was simple, soft-spoken. Mapagkumbaba. She was, as Mommy used to say, “ibibigay lahat.” Generous to a fault. And though she belonged to the public, she preferred the quiet company of a few—family, old friends, people who wouldn’t ask her to be anyone but herself. Conversations that stretched into midnight and meandered toward dawn.

Sometime near the end of that decade, Mommy called me into her room.

“Halika, tignan mo ito,” she said.

She was holding a small velvet box, the kind that clicked open with a soft sigh. Inside: a pair of diamond earrings, gold-framed, catching the light like they had something to say.

“Bigay ni Bulilit,” she smiled.

She told me she had tried to give them back. It was too much, she said. But Ate Guy wouldn’t hear of it. “Sasama po ang loob ko,” (I will feel bad) she had said, refusing.

Tucked beside the earrings was a small handwritten card, no frills, just feeling:

“Tita, maraming, maraming salamat sa lahat.”

Even now, I can still see the earrings, catching sunlight from the window. And I think about friendship—the kind that doesn’t need to shout, the kind that moves quietly, late at night, from sala to bedroom, across movie sets and hospital corridors, across years. The kind that shines quietly, like a gift that cannot be returned.

Ate Guy left the way she often lived off-screen: quietly, without fanfare, as if not wanting to trouble anyone. But in her wake, she leaves behind a brilliance that refuses to dim—a light that lives on in every song, every role, every life she touched. She was more than an icon. She was a rare soul, generous and grounded, a woman who bore the weight of fame with astonishing grace. The one and only Superstar of Philippine cinema.

Alguien Canto (The Music Played)

 An angry silence lay where love had been

And in your eyes a look I'd never seen

If I had found the words you might have stayed
But as I turned to speak, the music played

As lovers danced their way around the floor
I sat and watched you walk towards the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you stayed
And as you took his hand, the music played

Across the darkened room the fatal signs I saw
You'd been something more than friends before
While I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting, and I drove him to your side

I couldn't say the things I should have said
Refused to let my heart control my head
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as he held you close, the music played

And as I lost your love, the music played

The song of my life.

Everyone has a song, that belongs to their life

That will go on and on, through the years of their life
There's a wonderful song, one that you brought to me
And I look on this song, as my life's symphony

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me, yeah
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life

I can picture the past, that we knew yesterday
Every tear, every laugh, every step of the way
I recall what was wrong, and the things that were right
And each moment belongs, to the song of my life

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Started its music for me, yeah
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

The song of my life.

 "Parents, If you don’t require your children to do chores, 

You are stealing from them.

You are stealing their opportunity to learn purpose, discipline, teamwork, and to have meaning inside their own home.

You are also stealing their ability to develop true confidence and esteem earned through accomplishing a task.

Laundry, cooking, yard work, house work, trash, and more. They can help with it all.

Make your kids do chores.”

— Dr. John Delony

Parents, chores aren’t punishment. They’re preparation. 🧹

When you give your kids responsibility, you give them purpose, discipline, and real confidence!🙌

Life is strange

7. Life is strange, we fear change, yet it’s the only constant we’ll ever know.

Sometimes, we get caught up in the chase, in comparisons, and in trying to control everything around us. But the truth is, the moments that truly matter are often the simplest ones. Embrace the strange, because it’s what shapes us, helps us grow, and teaches us invaluable lessons. Stop waiting for the perfect moment, and start making the most of the one you're in. Keep moving forward with a heart full of gratitude, knowing that you are enough and that the best things in life are often right in front of you.

 Kung ECE Ka, Anong Role Mo Sa Future?

🎓 Naka-graduate ka na. May license.

Or maybe nasa kalagitnaan ka pa lang ng journey.

But one day, you pause and ask:

“Engineer ako, yes. 

Pero anong klaseng engineer gusto kong maging?”

🤔 Bakit maraming ECEs ang nalilito?

Because ECE is wide.

As in, “pwede ka kahit saan pero hindi mo alam saan ka babagay.”

It can feel confusing.

It can feel like pressure.

But if you shift the perspective—it’s also FREEDOM.

🔍 So let’s explore…

Anong role mo as an ECE in the future?

ECE Abroad

ECEs are needed globally—from Singapore to Canada.

Don’t underestimate your Filipino training

Add tools, certs, and experience—then go for it

🧭 Not sure yet?

It’s okay.

Your role doesn’t have to be clear today.

But one thing’s for sure: there IS a space for you.

And maybe the role you’ll shine in… hasn’t even been invented yet.

✨ Final Thought:

ECE is not a job title.

It’s a toolbox.

You get to decide how to use it.

So ask yourself:

Anong role mo sa future?

And are you willing to take the steps to grow into it?

Because kung ECE ka—pwede kang maging kahit sino.

Tamad

 Let’s be honest; your laziness today is destroying your future.

1. Every time you skip the work, you're choosing comfort now over success later.

2. No one will come to save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility.

3. Lazy people don’t rest; they waste time and call it self-care.

4. In 5 years, you’ll either be proud of your discipline or regret your excuses.

5. The world doesn’t reward effort; it rewards results. And lazy people don’t deliver.

6. Someone out there is working harder than you. That’s the person who’ll take your dream job.

7. Your habits today shape your future. If laziness is your habit, failure will be your reality.

8. Being lazy is a choice. Success is too. Which one will you pick?

The harsh truth: If you’re lazy today, you’ll suffer tomorrow. Choose better. Start now.

Leadership

 LEADERSHIP LESSONS TO LEARN FROM ANTS

1. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work.

Ants are never alone in their tasks; they work together to achieve common goals. 

Lesson: As a leader, You must understand the power of teamwork. You don’t have to do everything yourself—empower your team, trust their strengths, and work together toward success.

2. Persistence and Hard Work

Ants keep going no matter how tough the task. They carry food much larger than themselves, demonstrating incredible persistence.

Lesson: Leadership requires resilience. Keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles. Great things take time, and hard work always pays off. Keep going!

3. Planning Ahead.

Ants work tirelessly to prepare for the future, gathering food in advance.

Lesson: Successful leaders think ahead. Plan, strategize, and prepare for the future. Don’t wait for problems to arise—be proactive and set your team up for long-term success.

4. Adaptability.

If an ant’s path is blocked, it quickly finds another way to reach its goal.

Lesson: Flexibility is key in leadership. Plans don’t always work out, but a good leader adapts, finds new solutions, and keeps moving forward.

5. Shared Responsibility.

Ants share responsibility within their colony, each playing a specific role for the good of the group.

Lesson: Great leaders know how to delegate. Trust your team and let them take ownership of their tasks. A shared sense of responsibility leads to a more effective and engaged team.

6. Focus and Purpose.

Ants are focused on their task and work without getting distracted.

Lesson: Stay focused on the mission and avoid distractions. A leader who remains clear on the vision can lead their team toward achieving their goals without losing sight of what's important.

Ants show us that leadership isn’t about doing everything on your own, it’s about working with others, staying focused, and putting in the effort needed.

Oziohi TV

Nagrenew sa prc.

Nag-renew ako ng PRC license ko today kasi nabalitaan kong no need na ng CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and COGS (Certificate of Good Standing) for ECT and ECE.

Habang nagsa-submit ako ng form sa PRC LERIS website, may isang tanong dun:

“Are you currently practicing your profession?”

Napangiti ako.

With happiness in my heart, I clicked NO.

Pero ni-renew ko pa rin.

Kasi kahit hindi ko na siya pinapractice ngayon,

pinangarap ko ‘to.

Pinagdaanan ko ‘yung hirap—review center, board exam, at ‘yung kabang-kaba ka habang naghihintay ng results.

And funny enough, 6th anniversary din today ng announcement ng board exam results.

Napareminisce ako—sumakses nga pala ako nun.

I worked hard for that license.

At hanggang ngayon, isa ‘yun sa mga living proof na kaya ko.

Ngayon, hindi man ako working as an Electronics Engineer,

pwede siguro akong matawag na Automations Engineer. Haha!

Currently, I work remotely as a freelance OBM (Online Business Manager).

Helping businesses streamline their operations, optimize workflows,

and build systems that give them time and freedom.

I didn’t see it coming.

Sabi nga ng mentor ko, si CC:

“Puntahan mo muna.”

And I did.

6 years ago, akala ko sa ABS-CBN ako tatanda. Haha!

Pero nagbago lahat nung pandemic.

Sinubukan ko maging OFW sa Japan—pero I realized, it’s not for me.

Pag-uwi ko, alam ko na agad:

di na ako pang-corporate.

Good thing I had freelancing friends who introduced me to this world.

I chose a different path—and from there…

Things changed. Life changed.

And now…

✔️ I don’t need to wait for leave approvals just to spend time with my family

✔️ I can travel whenever I want, not just on weekends

✔️ I bought my first car

✔️ I got my dream bike

✔️ I can work from anywhere

✔️ I have peace of mind

✔️ And most of all—I’m not just surviving, I’m finally living

Wouldn’t it be nice?

✔️ To stop feeling guilty when you’re not being “productive”

✔️ To rest without asking for permission

✔️ To travel without stressing over your VL balance

✔️ To not feel stuck in a job just because “sayang ang sweldo”

✔️ To build a life where you actually feel free—not just on weekends

✔️ To finally wake up without the heavy feeling of “ito na naman?”

If you’ve been thinking about shifting—maybe this is your sign.

If you’re an OFW or a corporate slave wanting to explore something outside the usual path…

Comment “FREEDOM” below.

I’ve been thinking of conducting a free workshop or mini course on how I did it.

Baka ito na ‘yung sign.

Cheers, mga ka-adulting.

We deserve to live, not just work to survive.

Sabi nila

Sabi nila, “edad lang ‘yan.” Pero totoo ba?

Sa Pilipinas:

Ang mga batang 15 pababa ay hindi pwedeng panagutin sa krimen. Iniisip natin na wala pa silang kakayahang umintindi ng tama’t mali.

Pagdating ng 65, kailangan nang magretiro—kahit may lakas at pangangailangan pa.

Sabihin mo ‘yan sa mga magulang ng Grade 8 student na pinatay ng mga kaklaseng 14 anyos.

Sabihin mo ‘yan sa mga manggagawang minimum wage buong buhay na ngayon ay sapilitang magreretiro.

Madalas nating sabihin na “edad lang ‘yan”, pero mismong mga batas natin ang nagsasabing mahalaga ito.

Panahon na siguro para tanungin: Edad nga lang ba talaga ang basehan ng kakayahan at pananagutan?

Pa split ng mother title.

 Mga Dokumentong Kailangan Para Ma-split ang Mother Title at Magkano posibleng magastos?

1. Approved Subdivision Plan (ASP)

– Galing sa licensed geodetic engineer

– Dapat approved ng DENR at LRA

– Ito ang pinakaimportanteng basehan sa paghahati-hati ng lupa

2. Technical Description per Lot

– Kasama ito sa plano, pero dapat may certified copy para sa bawat tagapagmana

3. Certified True Copy ng Mother Title

– Kukunin sa Registry of Deeds (RD)

– Kailangang updated at walang problema sa ownership

4. Tax Declaration ng mother title (from Assessor’s Office)

– Para sa computation ng buwis at Transfer Tax

5. Deed of Partition o Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate

– Kung minana: kailangang gumawa ng Extrajudicial Settlement at ipa-publish sa dyaryo

– Kung hatian lang: Deed of Partition para i-specify kung sino ang may-ari ng bawat bahagi

6. Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR) from BIR

– Para mapayagan ng BIR ang transfer ng title per lote

– Kailangan bayaran ang Capital Gains Tax or Estate Tax, depende kung paano nakuha ang lupa

⸻

Magkano ang Posibleng Magastos?

1. Survey & Subdivision Plan

– ₱30,000 to ₱80,000+, depende sa laki ng lupa at dami ng hati

2. BIR Taxes (approximate):

– Capital Gains Tax: 6% ng zonal value o selling price

– Doc Stamp Tax: 1.5%

– Kung minana: Estate Tax (depends on appraised value)

3. Transfer Tax (LGU):

– Usually 0.5% to 0.75% ng property value

4. Registry of Deeds fees:

– Around ₱8,000 to ₱15,000 per title

5. Legal/Documentary Fees:

Sir Cris punta Baguio after swimming sa Tubigan Garden resort.

Got it.

She’s walking down the aisle glowing, graceful, and grounded. Not because of who raised her, but because of who showed up.

To the man invited as a guest, not as a father.

Yes, you’re on the list.

No, you’re not in the role.

You missed the late nights, the scraped knees, the school recitals.

You weren’t there when she needed a dad.

But at least now, you’ll get a seat, just not the title.

Here’s a thought:

Fatherhood isn’t about DNA. It’s about presence.

It’s about showing up when it’s hard, not just when it’s pretty.

To all the “fathers” who disappeared when it mattered, This is your reminder: respect is earned. Not inherited. Not demanded. Not automatic.

You were invited because she’s kind, not because you were deserving. This wedding is proof that a child can grow, love, and succeed even without a father who stayed.

She made it without you.

Now you get to watch her win.

From the back row. 🙂

Advice

 *ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES*

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.

 

2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.

3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal.

development.

4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.

5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.

6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.

7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip. 

8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.

9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.  

10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves. 

11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out. 

12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs.

13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on Zee world, expect nothing different after retirement.

14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project. 

15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.

16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too. 

17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early.

18. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house.

19. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a viable business.

20. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily. 

Hope this will help you look at life positively.
