A SAD STORY, this is.
This was forwarded to the Blue Genes Yahoo Group with the subject “Too Good to Not to Pass On” and I agree so I am posting it in my blog as my own way of passing it on. I added the title, “Blind Love.”

Blind Love
There was a blind girl who hated herself [...]
SOME DEMANDING friends are complaining about my weekly “piecemeal” postings of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” and went on to point out that I failed to post Part 8 last week.
Okay it’s good to know that there are people actually closely monitoring my posts so maybe I’ll give in to their whim. (Truth is, [...]
MARK YOUR CALENDARS. The date is DECEMBER 6, 2008. Venue is the A. Venue in Makati Avenue, Makati City (same as Bodega Sale venue in October).
Don’t miss it!
For a vicinity map of A. Venue, please refer to my earlier post announcing the Philips Bodega Sale in October.
I THOUGHT I’VE already seen the most overloaded public commuter’s transports in the world. In my mind the record holder can be determined through a toss coin between the Philippines and India.
And then I saw this on a colleague’s desktop PC wallpaper the other day. My jaw literally dropped, as in, “Whoa! This is unbelievable!!!”
I [...]
THE Philippine Scouting Center for Asia Pacific Region, located 65 kilometers southeast of Metro Manila at the foot of the fabled Mt. Makiling in Los Baños, Laguna, offers a lot of fun and exciting outdoor activities for kids and grown ups alike.
On November 8, 2008, a group of geeks from Delbros, Inc. went there for a day [...]
JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS ago while the whole wide world was eagerly anticipating the making of the first black US President, another black made history in the high-octane world of Formula 1 racing.
Lewis Hamilton draws a lot of parallels with Barack Obama. Foremost, of course, is the color of his skin. While Obama is [...]
THIS IS THE TITLE of an article recently written by my good friend Boogie Boydon. It is also the central theme of ‘Ang Bagong Pinoy’ (’The New Filipino’), an online forum also launched by Boogie, first as a simple Yahoo Group, and now as a full blown online community (http://www.angbagongpinoy.org/).
I invite you to read Boogie’s [...]
OK, I NOW CONFESS. I am an iPhone 3G user.
My boss, Jose Eduardo C. Delgado (JED) sweet talked me into getting one. (He is paying for half the P5,000 monthly charges so I cannot really complain.)
JED got his iPhone 3G about a month ahead of me. His iPhone replaced his Nokia E90 Communicator. As far [...]
WHAT DO GEEKS do on a weekend outing?
Solve Mensa puzzles? Join a Rubik’s Cube competition? Exchange notes on Star Trek? Go to a park, sit on a circle, open their laptops, connect wirelessly to the Internet and play “Internet Hearts”?
Apparently, none of the above is the idea of a weekend outing for the geeks [...]
MY GOOD PAL, college buddy, and former P. Campa co-inhabitant, Mitz Picardal, is finally migrating to the US of A very soon with his wife Kaye and son Josh. He has been avoiding this eventuality for about two decades now (his parents and siblings have been in the US since we were still in University). [...]
THIS KEYBOARD BLEW me away! When I first saw the photo I thought it may just be a mock up, or perhaps someone with lots of time to waste did it on PhotoShop (or GIMP).
Turns out it is in fact a real keyboard. I still find it difficult to comprehend what application it could have [...]
I AM PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to learn that my good ole friend Dominic Cimafranca, with whom I just got reunited with via Blogosphere [visit his blog, Village Idiot Savant], is also into poetry. It is a big surprise because I don’t know too many geeks (and Dom is a certified triple platinum geek) who are into poetry. [...]
