About Me


I am a Civil/Structural Engineer by education, a Quality Professional by profession, a wannabe-but-chose-not-to-be doctor, a frustrated programmer, a tech enthusiast, an avid sportsman, a hater, a lover, a friend, a son, a brother, a husband and a father.

I love music, but music never really liked me — and so does dancing. I love to write (at least I’d like to think so) but never found the time. I love to draw/paint, but again the busy everyday life took that away from me.

The only things that stuck with me throughout the busy-ness of life would be my passion for Tennis, Judo, computers and just about anything that gets plugged in to an electric socket or gets powered by batteries (conventional or solar) — children’s toys included. :)

Having said that, I guess I can summarily describe myself as a “Jack of trades, (and hopefully) master of some”. I have always believed that knowing a little bit of everything is better than knowing everything about just one thing.  I’m sure not everyone would agree with this, but this is my view.

This blog-site would probably reflect the me that I have described here. You are welcome to post any comments to anything written. Please” like” if you like what you read. Do “share” if you feel others would benefit from what you read and in case you haven’t noticed, there’s really no button for “hate” or “dislike”, so go figure. Hehehehehe

Enjoy… Welcome to my Standpoint….

    Anyway, Amen on a lot of things (like the singing and dancing not liking you back!) hehehe...

    More importantly, amen on

    knowing a little bit of everything is better than knowing everything about just one thing.

    You taught me that! Along with some other quotes in life!

    Hey, maybe you should make a post/blog about "quotable quotes?" It would be nice for your readers to be able to comment back with really nice and memorable philosophies in life.

    Nice one, bess! (pero sa may pa ako oorder sa amazon ha! Hehehe... wala pang go signal ang gusto kong orderin! hehehe)

Are you too strong for your own good?

I came across a gem of an article on Gulf News Aquarius magazine ( click here to read the article ) and decided to share it here and inject a few of my own thoughts on the subject. I have always been fascinated by strong women, those who have changed the course of history and made the world that is today. There are Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Anne Frank, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Mother Theresa to name a few. And of course, to each and every one of us, who would forget the strongest woman of all that we know – our mothers.

Notes from a Student of Life

From one student of life to another, I share my notes on what I have learned so far in my journey. I have learned that... Life always begins with a cry so don't expect to get through life without one (or more... okay, fine! many!).  Cry your heart out when you need to.  But when the tears dry up, you better be ready to roll again cause life will not let up.  Just because I am strong enough to handle pain doesn't mean I deserve it.  Just because life makes you feel pain even when you don't deserve it doesn't mean life is shit. Life is like a movie and we all are the writers, the directors and the actors of our own movie.  The kind of movie you want to be remembered by is really all up to you.  Heaven and hell do exist - right here, right now.  You are free to choose where you want to be. Missing a lot does not mean you failed to live a full life.  We can't experience them all and we can't have them all.  A full life is a life fill...

Saint Valentine's Day

It is the time of the roses and the chocolates once again.  It is the "season of love"; that one day in every year, where all lovers and friends go coucou finding gifts for their "Valentine".  It is also the time where the flower, chocolate and teddy bear merchants as well as hotels and motels owners and operators are on full grin!  It is the time where the prices of commodities associated with "love" go sky-high. What really is this phenomenon that is Valentine's Day?  Read on...

Doomsday

Over the past years, people seem to have been obsessed with doomsday and the fashion on how it will unfold.  The past 5 failed doomsday predictions alone happened in 2012.  There was the Ronald Weinland's claim of the return of Jesus Christ to the world in 27 May, 2012.  There is the Jose Luis de Jesus prediction of an economic meltdown that would end the world in 30 June, 2012.  Then the famous December 21, 2012 prediction of a Mayan apocalypse at the start of the 13th b'ak'tun.  A couple of says after that is a prediction by Warren Jeffs, a leader of a prominent church convicted of two counts of felony for child sexual assault, that the end of the world would come on 23 December, 2012.  When this date passed, he again predicted the end to come on the 31st of the same month, which by the way also failed. Some have made a lot of predictions and many have failed.  Over the course of human history, there have been at least 180 recorded doomsday predic...
