Let's pause (and I will post) for some commercial.... One of my good friend is complaining to me about her predicament with her credit cards bad credit . She have not just one credit card but several credit cards with bad credits. It has been her practice to withdraw money from one credit card to pay loan to another, thus, the loan interest compounds and she was not able to juggle her funds properly so she ended up with a bad record, real credit cards bad credit . It is causing her lots of anxiety since the credit cards bad credit is now skyrocketing to hundred thousand of pesos. She is so problematic on how to pay all her loans. Unfortunately services to address this credit cards bad credit is not widely available back in the country unlike other countries. Desperate she would whine that in good times when she was in good standing with these credit card companies they would offer her their services and promos. These days with her credit cards bad credit status she would receive

(image source - http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/blog/uploaded_images/organ-t-703406.jpg) I am not an alarmist. And I don't definitely want my blog appear like a tabloid. I write this entry to raise my concern on the welfare and future of Filipino children with this current criminal acts of organ traffickers. As I was browsing the internet I came across a blog entry about the sitaution in the Philippines where children are being abducted. And the worst thing is that they are being killed and their organs are taken to be sold to the international market. These criminals are without heart and soul to do their kind of trade. This is the vilest of all crimes - abducting children, murdering them and selling their organs. Who are those people involved aside from the kidnappers; people on the medical field - doctors maybe, nurses even; their financier and traders. These criminals who prey on innocent children for their economic gain are the new ASWANG (ghoul), unlike Faust who sold his so

So ads at Smorty works! Great, fantastic! I just received today an email from Smorty while creating a new blog about SPAM e-mails , check the link here: http://spamads.blogspot.com/ Finally real money from the internet. I was getting a bit anxious when the ad for several days has not been accepted and there were other pending ads in my dashboard waiting to be written about. Although like other bloggers there seems to be a limit to the ad that could be promoted. I read in the forum a concern of one of the bloggers who blog about animals said she could not write in her blog an ad about hair. For me since it is a personal blog and not a niche blog, so I can write an ad blog on anything. But of course I have my limits too, like for example I am not interested to write an adblog about casinos. Well I would consider writing ad blogs as a writing prompts to flex my creativity or skills in writing. So more good ads to blog SMORTY ! Here goes the good news received from my email box, the am

An editorial cartoon definitely makes newspaper reading more interesting. Especially if it is well executed it could grossly depicts situations and conditions or subtly suggests through symbols and hidden meanings. I do like visual arts and appreciate a great deal artists and other creative people. So when I was asked if my blog could be added to an artist's blog roll, indeed for me that is such a big honor and privilege. There are different kinds of artists and Mr. Fernando C. Zamora is one of those that I admire because he creates art that capture reality, social issues and other concerns that encourages and inspires an individual to understand and make a stand. Below is a citation of his work which he keeps at the bottom of his blog (very humble indeed). My congratulations to SSD editorial cartoonist Fernando Zamora. If a picture is worth a thousand words – which it usually is then I am humbled by the cartoon. No column or two can depict more succinctly the story that the car

My sister will be graduating from her nursing course this coming April 2008. The family is indeed happy for her and I am too. I left my NGO work of 10 years to become a member of the family’s trade that of being a migrant worker, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). Tatay (father) used to be a seaman. Two of my brothers followed his foot steps.And most of our relatives are also migrant workers. I joined them for more than six years now. I thought of writing this blog entry as dedication to my sister and to all other brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and other family members who have supported or supporting a nursing student to take a second look, a further or even a forward looking look on the nursing profession. I just realized that the number of nursing students and graduates must really reflect the million OFWs. For in my sister’s case she has 3 married brothers who are OFW and a newly US-immigrated married brother supporting her studies. And add to that, a maternal uncle who is a m
