President Noynoy Aquino's SONA 2015

We're now watching Sona 2015. 

Ito ang presidenteng hirap maka-moveon.. Lagi na lang nakasisi sa nakalipas.. #SONA2015 #MoveForward #PhPoliticsSucks

— Richard CHARD Garcia (@chardGarcia) July 27, 2015

PNOY started his speech with the usual 'blame' - ang nakaraang administrasyon... silang mga nakaupo noon... ang talamak na korupsyon nuong sila ang nakaupo... at ang sari-saring isyu na ating inalmusal noong nakaraang administrasyon...

Nakakapagtaka lang, paulit-ulit na lang... medyo nakakasawa na po kasi... basahin ang mga nasa isipan ng mga ilang Pinoy via twitter/

PNoy: Ngayon, ang Pilipinas ay binansagan nang "Asia's Rising Tiger." #SONA2015 http://t.co/pJLyQ6nCdO

At least ex-pres Gloria Arroyo knows how to apologize. #SONA2015 We thought PNOY would shape up after the PICC hostage incident. #nganga

— Andrew (Dreau) Lanot (@DreauPH) July 27, 2015

PNOY, it's okay to bring up the past as long as your comparison is 10x better. Kung wala pa naman pong pagbabago, wag nalang. #SONA2015

Ryan Rems Sarita Rocks the World with His Comedy

Photo Credit: http://entertainment.abs-cbn.com/

ABS-CBN’s It’s ShowTime has found another promising talent in the person of Ryan Rems Sarita, a hopeful comedian and an online English Teacher by profession. After rigid screening and evaluation of their pieces, he was chosen to push through with the contest, “The Funny One,” along with the other nine equally talented contenders.


Sarita, a.k.a. “Rakistang Komikero,” was able to capture the crowd with his signature music, stage presence, “no nonsense jokes” and his famous one-liner, “Rock and Roll to the World.” Although he has been beaten twice on the daily rounds, he still managed to pass the elimination process and advance to the next level of the competition.

Ryan Rems’ style of comedy is quite unique. At times, you need to think twice or even thrice to pick up the idea of his gags. However, it doesn’t really matter at all. Laughter and claps sounded most of the times after he finishes a tale... as if nobody cares if it is indeed funny or not. Maybe it is on his manner of delivering his jokes.

The guy from Novaliches always gets high regards from judges Mayor Herbert Bautista, Joey Marquez, and Melai Cantiveros. There was also a time when he almost got a perfect grade after a remarkable performance.

The ultimate winner will receive a cash prize of 1 million pesos. Might as well, the lucky one may have a chance to become a part of the network’s roster of fine comedians and performers.

Follow Ryan on twitter and have a dose of his daily humor.

MERS-CoV in the Philippines

Health is wealth. 

From GMA News: 

The Department of Health has confirmed that a foreigner from the Middle East has been found positive with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV), a television report said Monday.

GMA News TV's News to Go reported that the patient is now confined at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine in Muntinlupa City.

This is the second MERS-CoV case in the country. 

In February, a Filipina nurse who arrived from Saudi Arabia tested positive for the virus. Later that same month, she was cleared of the virus.

May the Good Lord bless us more and always. 

God spares us, please.

Protect your Child against Bullying

Photo Credit: Twentyfour Students/Flickr

Parents would never wish to see their child being oppressed or intimidated by other children, particularly in school. Bullying, therefore should be hindered, by all means, in all educational institutions as well as in all other places where the young are supposed to co-exist without fear of being harassed or misjudged.

"For my entire childhood I pretty much felt continually like most of the outside world wanted me dead, or at least, found me a curious novelty for their own amusement." - Oliver Emberton

Bullying, at some point, bring much negative effect on our kids. There are some instances wherein bullied individuals fail to perform well in school or even to mingle with other students. They opt to become isolated from the rest as they become anxious in approaching possible friends. Sometimes, victims turn to be ill-tempered and hard-headed; trusting no one, not even their parents in extreme cases.

It is indeed difficult to deal with bullying but preventive measures should be done before it happens to your sons and daughters. Primarily, parents should be aware of the school’s anti-bullying procedures and discuss with the school authorities about it. It is also very important to have an excellent line of communication with your kids and let them feel that they are always being loved and trusted.

"The real world isn’t fair either, but it’s a much fairer game to play than the playground." - Oliver Emberton

Read this inspiring story of a person who experienced bullying during his childhood. Learn how he managed to cope up with this situation and become a successful individual.

As for me and my husband, we regularly check our son's experiences in school. We carefully discuss with him what bullying means using simple words that he can understand. We let him understand that bullying is bad and it is improper to treat other people unkindly.
