I was lucky enough to catch Jim Rogers on the phone again for a few minutes to discuss MF Global’s affect on the commodity markets, the direction of the U.S., plus an emerging southeast Asian country which presents an “enormous opportunity”.

In regards to the recent MF Global collapse and it’s impact on commodity markets Jim said,“MF Global is causing forced liquidation right now, but longer term people will forget about it. People still need to trade wheat, they need to trade oil. In the longer term it will be like many other disasters in markets, it will be a blip–an unfortunate blip.” Jim added that, ‘This event will be another push to move commodities business away from Chicago and towards Asia.”

“THE MAKING OF A PRESIDENT – 1ST of a Series”

Most ardent faith believers declared that becoming president of a certain country is a God given destiny.
Further, believers without hesitance will say that things are happening in accordance with His will and that If He wills things to happen, it will happen”.
Does being re-elected as a president also a God given destiny?
Does God meddle with the affairs of the people particularly in choosing who will and who will not become president of a certain country? Does He meddle on whom shall you marry? Does God meddle on what career you will pursue and how you will pursue your career?
I will not argue to the above contention or to any contention contrary to the above. What I would just say is that around the world, all day and in all hours or seconds, there are good things and bad things that are happening.
Good deeds like providing livelihood programs to poor communities or philanthropist allocating substantial funds for the eradications of some dreaded diseases. Bad deeds like the brutal killings of innocent children and helpless people who were caught during arm conflicts or the taking place of rapes of children and grandmother by people who were under the influence of drugs.
Now and then there are unimaginable calamities like earthquakes, tsunamis and fires that are taking place.
Hence, are we going to say that only good things are the wills of God, whereas, bad things are the wills of Evils?
What I would say is that God is witnessing what is happening around the world and those good things happening pleases Him and bad things happening displeases or saddened Him.
Again, I may ask. Does God meddle with the affairs of the people particularly in choosing who they shall vote to become their president?
The next series of articles will show a profiling of some presidents and rulers who have caught the attention of the world or their people. Some characterize a simple ascent to power. Others make use of complex set of preparations on how they became a president or how they extended their terms of office and or their plans on how to go about their re-elections.
The Making of a President – 2nd Series will feature President Barack Hussein Obama II, the earliest bird to announce his intention to run for re-election come US 2012 National Election.

Documentary about a London Bus Driver who goes to Manila in the Philippines to experience what it is like to live and work as a Jeepney driver in Manila.

This is an hour show, but quite interesting about the lives of some of our fellow Filipinos.

Around the 45:20 mark, you’ll see a part about “Pagpag” or scraps of food collected from garbage. People collect them, was them and cook them again and sold in their Carinderia.

Globe Telecom (PSEi: GLO) adopts Internet ‘fair use’ policy. That is the first thing I saw after turning on my computer tonight. Thanks to Lia Amanda Espina for the GBuzz update, I should start scouting for a new ISP.

If you have told anyone 10 years ago that in the future, someone can be famous and reach millions and millions of people around the world in one week’s time, no one would believe you.

The ‘future’ of instant fame happened six years ago when three cool geeks from California invented YouTube in 2005. Since May 2010, YouTube exceeds 2 billion views a day. 2 billion. Since March 2010, there are 24 hours of video uploaded PER minute. I thought there should be more but over the years, there have only really been a few breakout artists who attribute their good fortune to YouTube: Arnel Pineda, Charice, Greyson Chance, Kina Grannis, Marie Digby, and Justin Beiber comes to mind.

That’s what is special about Maria Aragon, a Filipino-Canadian 10-year old girl from Winnipeg, Canada. NOT everyone gets their chance! Her simple video of her covering Lady Gaga’s new track “Born this way” stood out from the hundreds of cover of the same song. She wasn’t trying to be anything. She wasn’t trying to copy Lady Gaga, she was just doing her own interpretation of the song!

May dalawang taon na rin ang nakalipas nang na-i-post ko ang tunkol sa Divisoria Shopper’s Map: A guide on the whereabouts of the things you need to buy in Divisoria. Di ko inaasahan na dadagsain ng mga tanong ang aking post at nakakatuwa din naman na malaman na nakakatulong pala ang mga walang kwentang pinagsusulat ko. Sa dami ng nag tatanong sa post ko, marami rin akong hindi nasagot, kung kayat nung minsan na walang pasok, ay sinubukan kong alamin kung saan nga ba sa Divisoria makikita yun mga bagay na karaniwang tinatanong sakin.
