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)

Philippines Withdraws from the ICC

Woke up today to the news that the Philippines is finally pulling out of the ICC. The mainstream media, as expected, started looking into the legitimacy of the act while taking the opportunity to once again throw the EJK trash in the equation, still hoping that the shit would stick somewhere, somehow.  It's already been 19 months that they have been trying the same approach, with some help from their friends - the political minority, the human rights groups, the UN HR, and lately, the ICC.

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...

#WeArePhilippines

Recently, we have seen a lot of political disorder in the Philippines that has literally divided, and continue to divide, our nation.  Majority of the government officials, who the Filipino people have chosen to represent their best interests, have misused the trust and the authority that the people have given them to further their individual (and that of their party’s) political interest.  This observation is not only directed at one person or one political party.  Parties and individuals have been hell-bent on criticizing anyone who sits on the other side of the fence.  Privilege speeches and press conferences, under the guise of “at the interest of the Filipino people” have been used to either discredit another official or to defend a “personal attack” directed at them by a member of the opposition.  This has fueled the nation’s divide and has distracted the Filipino people’s sight away from the positive things that currently unfolds right in front of us. O...

Broken Gadgets and Me

Have you ever had a connection with something that seemed like it was given to you by default? It is like a birthright where you were born with a particular gift or purpose that is handed to you right from birth. There are those who were born with a vocal cord of a flute who practically sang instead of cry at the first sight of the delivery room. There are those who were born with missing joints who seem to have danced their way out of their mothers’ wombs. And then there was me… and broken gadgets.
