Christmas is a state of mind | Happy Birthday Jesus Christ

As we will be entering the so-called "Ber Months", we'll feel the Christmas spirit everywhere already. We will see Christmas lights on houses, Christmas decors hanging, Christmas tree assembled at a corner of the house and Christmas songs playing everywhere... Ohhh.. how I hope Christmas will be celebrated always... I really love Christmas... The song "Twelve days of Christmas" is more than just a repetitious melody with pretty phrases and a list of strange gifts, or a delightful nonsense rhyme set to music. It had a quite serious purpose when it was...

It Starts with ONE. It Ends with FIVE.

The Bamboo, Chicosci, 6 Cycle Mind, Kamikazee and Sandwich was rocking the City of Mandaue last December 4 and yours truly attended the grandest event ever... I just knew the "First Five 2010, In One Nationwide Tour" on television and I was really not minding it even if my favorite bands are the one who'll rock the night. Because I knew that I can't have a ticket on their concert, which was very depressing on me. At first, I was very much excited when I happen to knew that one of the bands destination was at Parkmall, Cebu. SHOCKS!!! Come to think of it, the venue was...

Environment - the zone of EARTH that is able to sustain LIFE

People tend to think of themselves as the most, if not the only important creatures on earth. We tend to think that all other things are created for our benefit and therefore we can use them in any way we want. This world is ours. It is our only home in space. As we keep our own homes clean, let us keep our world clean. The air, water and soil are gifts. Indeed, as a famous song goes, "The best things in LIFE are FREE". In gratitude to the Giver, let us keep these gifts clean and safe for all. As far as the environment is concerned, the expression "Quality of Life" is meant to describe...

The Analogy of LIFE - continuity of the graph of a function

Calculus is so far the most complex branch of Mathematics I have met in my school life. one topic is always followed by another complicated one, which sometimes even eats my brain out. Life is indeed Calculus! It surely is a one complicated thing after another. My favorite topic in Calculus is finding the limit of a certain function as the variable x approaches to a certain number. It is my favorite topic simply because it does reflect my life as an individual. Comparing myself to a function, I too have my limitations. These borders often destruct and block me in reaching some...

This are the things my Big Bro said: The first time I went inside Imperial Palace, it was as if I entered an Oasis. The front lawn was landscaped in brightly-colored flowers and the Palace...

Originally built in 1565, it is a home to what many consider the oldest religious relic in the Philippines, the image of Santo Niño.

I Love Cebu | Welcome to CEBU

I happen to realize that my site doesn't tackle yet the very province I born --- Cebu. Well then, allow me to tell you things about Cebu...                      Zubu, the original name for Cebu.

However, when Magellan landed on the...
