THIS IS just going to be a quick post.

I went to the home of a friend last night — after receiving a message that he has a problem.

He works in a supermarket. Someone complained about their product and he was blamed for negligence of duty.

If the complaint was legitimate, then he must take responsibility for it. He must face the sanctions.

But there are rumors that he was only framed up.

He lost interest already. He reported to work late the day after hearing from colleagues that he’ll be dismissed.

NO, IT’s not my wedding day. Yet.

Uhm, it’s of a lesser magnitude. Nonetheless, it’s something that keeps me up until the wee hours of the morning, trying to figure out how to tackle my little problem.

The school principal is coming up with a weekly teacher development program. It’s designed to upgrade our teaching skills. I don’t know what got into our school head’s head that she picked me to be the first one to talk on “Integrating ICT in the Classroom“. She asked me to teach my co-teachers — who were once my teachers — on using the resources of the school, specifically, our ICT equipment.

I AM an advocate of the freedom of expression and I respect Rosanna Roces’ right to express her opinion. Whatever penalties the MTRCB imposed on her is beyond my concern and I am in no position to tell whether she (or the show) deserved the sanction given by the MTRCB.

Okay. Watch this video to hear it straight from her:

I am not insulted by the message that Ms. Roces is trying to put across. The words she chose is definitely not right for a morning show.

I WAS about to buy ice cream at a mini-mart in our public market yesterday afternoon when I noticed some streamers hanging on a store around the corner.

Written in red paint on empty rice sacks, they looked like one of those streamers that activists hang to express their grievances. The sight instantly caught my attention.

I looked closer to see what the streamers were all about. Alabel is not for Sale. Justice for the Market Vendors. I understood.

A Mega Market is being constructed in my hometown. It is seen to be the biggest public market in the province. The construction of which actualy spurred the stunted proposal for Alabel’s cityhood.
