I AM NUMBER FOUR
“Paano
n’yo nalaman itong mga pangyayari?” tanong ko sa
kanila, habang tinitingnan ko ang mga NBI agents
na linalagyan ng posas ang mga kamay ng
misteryosang babae.
“Dahil ako ang NUMBER FIVE…”
sagot ng mistesang Insika.
“At ako naman ang NUMBER SIX!”
dagdag ng Hollywood beauty sa kaliwa ko.
SUNDAN SA "TALKING FINGERS."
The Chase
Long-time best friends
from the southernmost part of Luzon, Philippines have opposing strategies to heal their dying country.
One points out rebellion as the best way to reform
everything. The other one points out change could be
made through street parliament, where Filipinos simply
march in the streets.
 This type of story is
banned in the Philippines during the Marcos regime. Thanks to the freedom of
speech in US, I could write this with no fear of
rejection.

FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) dreams walking with
God on the beach. While walking with Him, he finds out
that it was test of his belief and relationship
with his Creator.
Now, he must go back
to earth at 4:59 AM to get back his life. Else, he will
be declared dead by a doctor on his hospital
bed.
SUNDAN ANG KUWENTO DITO
Ang Niyog
at
Ang Magtutuba
 A
suicidal coconut wine maker in Quezon Province attempts
to kill himself by climbing to the top of coconut tree,
then jump to the ground. But the talking Philippines
coconut tree holds, and gives him advise on how to
survive trials in life.
Thanks to the popular TV soap movie in the
Philippines, "Walang Hanggan," this Filipino guy goes down the
tree calmly, to start a new life with his longtime secret love.
Maganda ang aral ng
kuwentong ito, at may biglang-liko na katatawanan sa
dulo.

Change the Way You See Everything
by Jess Guim
This past Sunday, I’ve read a very interesting book, which I finished while sipping a bottle of orange juice at a Barnes and Noble Bookstore cafeteria. The title of the book was “Change the Way You See Everything.” The topics in every chapter were brief and easy to understand. They’re simplified further by graphics and pictures which made them easily understandable.
 
There were lots of interesting new ideas which I’ve learned from this book, like the passage about the rainbow,
for example.
“Rainbows are circles (really). We only see the upper halves, because the horizon hides the rest.” To see a whole rainbow, one must go beyond the horizon. So, if one asks for the pot gold, which is at the end of the rainbow, one should go beyond the horizon to find not just a pot of gold, but hundreds of them.

Tips for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW),
Global Online Filipinos, & Pinoys in the Philippines
BLOGGING AS EXTRA INCOME FOR OFWs
Filipinos are always
up-to-date when it comes to technology. But they don't know how to
use them as source of income, rather they enjoy them as source of
entertainment. Unlike in America and other advanced countries,
every new technology in the market is immediately used as instrument
for business and source of main income.
Social networking, for
example, is only a place to kill spare times for Filipinos,
specially those who are working abroad and far from their families
in the Philippines. Very few of the Filipinos overseas (even local
Pinoys) actually know the powers of social networking as a place to
make money without going abroad.
If you know how to
write about things that you passionately do and wanted to share
to others, you could use blogging as a jumping board for earning
money anywhere you are, as long as you have Internet access.
Then, you could use social networking sites like Facebook,
Twitter, Google +, and more as your places to capture
subscribers, fans, and customers.
As overseas Filipino workers, you could write
your own blog on your spare times, and earn dollars as
commission-based affiliates for advertisers in your blog.
TheNokiaBlog.com, for example,
started just as a hobby by a young Filipino in New York City - sharing
his passion for Nokia cell phones. Few years later, it became his
main source of income, and a way to travel around the world for
almost free.
Last month, he and his professional Nurse
wife, packed their belongings in New York City, to enjoy
traveling around the world while writing their blogs anywhere
they go, as long as there is Internet. You could follow the
journals of their travels at
Married2Travel.com, written by Mark's wife, who resigned
from her Nursing job in favor of her newfound way to earn money
while having fun around the world.
Maybe, blogging itself is new to you. So,
let me give you more 7 reasons why you need to have a web site
or blog by

OFW's Roadmap to Starting a Business in the
Philippines
Starting a business needs careful planning, analyzing, and even testing before it's fully implemented. It is a risky venture if you will simply jump into it by impulse.

The cycle of risks never stop even if
the business survives or becomes financially successful. But you

right plan and actions in every phase of your business.
What are the basis for planning, starting, and growing a business? What are the best strategies to look upon when starting a business? Below are general strategies most entrepreneurs use when starting a business.
Dig Into Your Passion. Start a business that you know, and love to grow. What are the things that you love most, and are worth developing into business? Focus into it, and find a business that fits that passion. Do you love to cook, and is fast food service needed in your place? (Continue

Married to a Reluctant Traveler
I have a confession to make. All
this time I’ve led you to believe that Married2Travel is about two
people with the passion to explore the world, but the reality is far
from the truth. What you see are the edited versions, faces full of
smiles in our travel photos. You might think we’re happily planning
our travel itinerary. Sorry to fool you, but that’s not our reality.
My partner is in fact what we call a reluctant traveler. (Please
