This evening I watched the Stomp, well its not the movie but the stage version of it. STOMP, a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in the summer of 1991. It was the result of a 10-year collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.

Mahirap pala talaga ang maging mag-isa sa buhay. Paano ba naman mag-isa ako ngayon sa bahay ngayon at apat araw akong makukulong mag-isa sa loob ng bahay. Tanging si Olympus, ang aming minpin, lang ang makakausap ko. Sana nga naman nagsasalita siya para di naman ako mukhang baliw na nakikipag-usap sa kanya. Read more and more

I decided to embark a blog series on human resource management and employment to empower readers– employees, on the issue of “losing ones job”, and entrepreneurs and management alike on how to go about it legally. This will cover due process of law and the provisions of the Philippine Labor Code, on “termination of employment”. On the coming days, I will attempt to blog on the following:

• How to lose your job– part 1 “killing you softly”: on this issue, we’ll blog about the little things an employee can do that over time, may be a basis for termination.
• How to lose your job– part 2 “pull the trigger”: on this issue, I will discuss possible acts that may cause the immediate termination of an employee from his employment.
• The Convergence: Due process of law– where employees rights and management prerogatives interact.

Hopefully, I will be able to add value to the readers on how they go about corporate life and/or managing the business.

Aside:

I have 2 movie pass for the flick “the reaping” and I am giving it away. I have sent email to the top 2 commenters and they have until Saturday to confirm, otherwise, it can be yours. I will reply via email (to give instructions on how to get it) to the first 2 commenters if the bloggers I emailed are not interested.

“Kitty Carlisle Hart, a New York Blend of Actress, Singer and Arts Advocate, Dies at 96,” reported the NY Times yesterday.

Most feed readers subscribe because they want to read your content and to avoid opening a new window or tab just to visit your site. Additionally, they subscribe to your feeds so they will see all your new posts. Making them or rather forcing them to click on “read more” actually drives them away from the rest of your posts for that period. In other words, you get less exposure and loyal readers.

These are the things that I wish I could say to you, Mom – things I know you are unwilling to hear from me or anyone else. I’m not here to bash you but to be truthful. I cannot stand the fact that you keep burying your head in the sand in almost every situation in your life and that you refuse to hear anything unless it tickles your ear – no matter if they are lies.

Yes, you are a mother…

Usually these chat rooms have numerous people chatting at one time with topics ranging from the usual how’s-ur-day greeting to the more direct i-wanna-f*ck-someone-now-call-me. Talk about lack of inhibitions of our teens now huh? And mind you not only do girls and boys have all the fun nowadays but gays and lesbians as well. I don’t know if there is such a term used for this act but I would refer to this act as “cyber voyeurism”.

Another initiative to publish rare and out-of-print materials on the net will soon be available for the public to read.
The Philippine Revolutionary records will soon be available through Filipiniana.net, a portal on Philippine studies. It will give us the original proof of our fight for sovereignity against Spain in 1896 and the United States during the Filipino-American War.

These records has been stolen from us for many years and was just returned to the Philippine government in 1957. Learn how our Filipino patriots fight for our freedom…read more

So what is female genital mutilation?
Female genital mutilation is the extraction of a certain body part located in the female genitalia for cultural, religious or other non-medical grounds.

I assume that I could talk about this topic fairly since I am of the opposite gender. Everyone else is recommended to leave a comment to share ideas according to your own perspective. I’m trying to avoid comparison though of the male and female circumcision.

What is attitude? How do we define a person with attitude? Could it be people carrying themselves with an aura of goodwill and just without a care of other feeling? Or attitude should be branded to those people looking at these and just can’t stand the fact that some people are contended with what they are doing or have done.

It was on this faithful night the lore keeper looked outside his window into the gloomy night with the rain pounding the wall of the castle keep. From his studies of the great “Gael” book, with the correct alignment of the stars and the 3 moons that shines every night on Tundera, this was the night that the chosen one will be born into the world.

Sharing the Love – Join the GreatGamesExperiment Social-Network!

I like and believe in the GreatGamesExperiment project, I was one of the closed beta testers, and wrote a review about it: A Social-Network Service for Gamers, Developers and Publishers.

Today, that which I gave (free promotions and inviting gamers to join) returned back, not just ten-fold, but more!

I was reading about the victims of the Virginia Tech shooting and it is so sad to see how many meaningful and purposeful lives were cut off by a single person whose life did not hold much. Their lives, full of promise and hope for the future of a world they dreamed of changing, ended by someone whose life was spent in silent, simmering anger that finally boiled over – the usual scenario of almost any mass shooting.
