More than Nice (!) Save for hearing it from the song that goes "..I've been to Nice, and the isle of Greece, while I sipped champagne on a yacht.." I didn't know anything about Nice, France; and, yes, what's actually nice 🙂 about it. The decision to come was not to do sightseeing as much as … Continue reading MORE THAN NICE (!)
The Allure of Italy Couldn't keep my mouth closed looking at Italian catholic churches. Ornate, intricate, complex seem soft to describe them. The marble, the color, texture, shape and art; the work, chisel, stroke; the time, money, effort; and the focus, will, and resolve to finish is mind-boggling to say the least. It seems they … Continue reading THE ALLURE OF ITALY

My highschool classmate thought I was going to be a lawyer since we debated often (did you win Ninang? "He said, always 😋"). But I want to believe I … Continue reading DEBATE? D’BAIT? (‘di)*ABATE?
Répondez s'il vous plaît (Tu parle francais Ninang?) Please respond. That's the literal translation of the commonly used acronym RSVP. It's normally used for social invitations. Respond please. And though it's just a choice between "attending" and "not attending", many people have difficulty signifying their intention. Probably because of the "maybe", and the "I'm not sure"- … Continue reading Répondez s’il vous plaît
THE DARK SIDE Once in a while we all grope in the dark. Some are used to it and find the light themselves. Some succumb to it and need a hand to find their way. Others bask in darkness for they haven't known what light can bring. Extreme loneliness, an unbearable challenge, hopelessness, sin - … Continue reading THE DARK SIDE
ROBIN SHARMA'S "The Leader Who Had No Title" What I learned and will probably remember for a long time (Book review Ninang? "Hmm.. more of book report.") It's been months since I read the book. But the appreciation of the lessons I learned and the unique presentation (lots of mnemonics!) of leadership principles is still … Continue reading ROBIN SHARMA’S “The Leader Who Had No Title” (Book Review Ninang?)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? (Version 2 🤔) I'm grown up (surely Ninang!). Am I who I wanted to be? Are you who you said you would like to become? What did we want to be when we we were small? Are you still hoping to "grow" up? I am. … Continue reading WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
