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)

The Sense of Goose

by Dr. Harry Clarke Noyes  ARCS NEWS, Vol. 7, No. 1, January 1992  Next  fall, when  you see Geese  heading South for  the Winter, flying along  in V formation, you might  consider what science has dis‐  covered as to why they fly that way:  as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an  uplift for the bird immediately following. By  flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least  71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.  People who share a common direction and sense of community  can get where they are going more quickly and easily  because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.  When  a goose falls  out of formation,  it suddenly feels the drag  and resistance of trying to go it alone  and quickly gets back into formation to take  advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front....

History: The Battle of Bataan

These are the writings on the wall of the Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor) in Mt. Samat, Pilar, Bataan - a monument built to remember and to celebrate the resilience of the human spirit.  Reading through the inscriptions sent chills to my bones.  It makes me proud to be a Filipino, even more so being a Bataenyo (a native of Bataan).  Let this be a reminder to us all, of the valor and the glory of our roots.  We shall not forget...  "Our mission is to remember."   Photo by Irwin Richard Dizon The Battle of Bataan On this ground gallant men chose to die than surrender. From all corners of the Philippines they came, youthful and brave, to make their last stand in Bataan against an implacable enemy which had marched through Asia. What transpired was a ferocious combat between raw, ill-equipped recruits against seasoned, well-armed troops.

Lost Wallet, A Great Love Story

As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline–1924. The letter had been written almost 60 years ago. It was written in a beautiful feminine handwriting on powder blue stationery with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was a “Dear John” letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that the writer could not see him anymore because her mother forbade it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him. It was signed, Hannah. It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way except for the name Michael, that the owner could be identified. May...

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...

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...
