Pinoy In New York



My friend and I decided to go on an adventure in New York so once and for all we get the feel of the spirit of the holiday season in the big apple. We thought it would be more fun to go at night, to enjoy the city lights and the Christmas decorations and all that can only happen in NY. And true enough, we trekked the streets of 42nd all the way to the 50th. The streets were never empty. People of different races and backgrounds were everywhere, that it's basically impossible to tell who the real New Yorkers were and who were merely there for the fun and adventure.


It was a night to remember. With the chilly night air at 48 degrees Fahrenheit you could wish that you were somewhere in your room all cuddled up under a warm blanket. But no, you won't even feel the cold. There's too much sights and sounds to numb your senses. It's pure leisure and pleasure just walking through the streets of New York. And did I say Rockefeller? The place was just packed with people, and with the big Christmas tree and the Christmas music playing in the background, there's no where else in the world you'd rather be. It was just the place to be.


It was a night to remember for me. The train ride to NY was fun too. Got some really good moments of pure fun in that momentous night. Who would have thought that a flat-nosed Pinoy would make its way to the big apple?

Destination Cebu: Learn the Language Overnight with the Easiest Visayan Language Tutorial There Is!

It is no joke when you have to travel to other worldly destinations and the first hurdle you need to overcome is the language barrier.  Is it possible to be ready to mingle and interact with the locals armed with your spoken language whether it be English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, or whichever language you speak? The answer is an unequivocal, YES.  It is absolutely possible especially in Cebu and the Philippine islands in general, for you to explore the islands even without knowing a single spoken word in the locale since English is considered a second language.  Thus, most everyone know and understand English. But if you have the chance to be equipped and be readily able to speak the language which you could potentially use to enrich your island-hopping experience, would you pass the opportunity? Learning a new language in general seems to be such a daunting task. And it's even going to be such a challenge if you don't h

The Dilemma of the Times

Technology has all of us on our feet all the time. Gadgets are coming out in different shapes and form and we are left with so many choices, it is almost appalling. Do we wonder why we are constantly scrambling to do things as if time is so squeezed we can barely fit any chore in it? Give an honest answer, for once. How much time do we waste each day on distractions like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, e-mails and the eight hundred apps or so residing in our mobile devices? Do we wonder why we have a phone, and we don’t even call people anymore? I do. I always catch myself updating on the latest happenings and interests around the globe through Twitter. I always catch myself giving inputs and insights on my Facebook wall about the things that I’m currently preoccupied with and interested in. What a life! Sometimes when my morning alarm rings which is conveniently carried out by my iPhone, I catch myself clicking on the Facebook app even when my eyes are still half-open. Why is th

The Year That Was…2009: Hello 2010!

Time flies. I remember how everything just blew down on us like a whirlwind from the recession to the bailouts, from war and still more war, from ponzi schemes to the unbearable market losses, from the enormous unemployment rate to still a staggeringly high number of people still unemployed, 2009, came and stayed like a dark cloud without any silver lining. A lot of people in the U.S. are still finding answers. A lot of people around the globe are still groping in the dark. Suffering and war have not eased up a bit. Chaos and indifference still loom everywhere. Add to that the ever growing fear of a catastrophic pig flu outbreak, and this world seemed like a sad place to be in. Horrid as it is, media and the authorities tried their best to project a less daunting future for all of us, as if everything is under control and things will get better soon. I don’t see anything promising at all for the near future. The war will remain. More war will brew in places unheard of. The global commu
