Thoughts on P-Noy’s first State of the Nation talk

President elect Benigno Aquino III was scheduled to deliver his first State of the nation address (SONA) yesterday, 26 July.


I missed the event, although I managed to catch up today by reading the transcription online - you can read the English translation of the speech here.


Reading between the contents of the SONA, one gets the elated impression that Aquino might be the one to do the job after all. I personally am not for Aquino on the last election, as I was convinced that all though he has the right motivation, his qualifications to execute the responsibilities of a president is still premature.

I know though, that Aquino will not be corrupt – I know this because he's too keen on not letting his parent's image be tarnished in the eyes of the people. One bad-Aquino (Kris Aquino) should be enough anyway.

A Stereograph view of Convergent Solution Modelling

Most of the time, I spend my free hours pondering on several topics around technology. Researching and keeping up to date with all news on technology.


Currently, I'm involved with developing operational and functional frameworks for one of the biggest Pharmaceutical company in the world, specifically, around the areas of developing or improving their infrastructure operations processes and policies.



Obviously, the core of the work also involves looking forward at emerging technology trends, specifically, those that can improve IT services and operations delivery.

Critical Thinking

So what the hell has been keeping me busy lately? Here's a list....

La verdad en la vida

La verdad en la vida


Pierced through your thoughts your humanity lingers.
Through shattered memories, you try to make sense of it all.
Sometimes, light is permitted through the gray scale figments,
with the sublime sense of false respite settling on your head.

Show me the money, dammit!

Whenever companies call me nowadays, the recruiters on the other end are often amazed that I either know someone from their company or have in some way been involved with them in the past. I always imagine how awkward the recruiter might feel, with some wise-ass like me at that time...

Blog-crosoft Word 2007??

In an effort to provide current and daily content, I will be using MS Word 2007's blog functionality, its a heaven sent for office workers, since most setups block blog sites from the proxy side.

Parental Guidance

I often wonder whether there's some truth on the notion that most of us measure ourselves against our parents' achievements, or on how we've "faithfully reproduced" their expectations or counsel....

Okay, so most of my friends' folks have done very well for themselves, given whatever daunting odds that they have to overcome then...

Shell-shocked egotist needs help!

It all started like any other job....

Paid Professional

Every once in a while we come across a sort of a "life changing" question...

Questions like, "Is there an afterlife?" or "How can I ensure that I'd be on His good-side on the final judgement?".... and finally, the eternal question that you'd neither admit or deny asking (at least once in your life) - "Doc, why does it burn when I pee??"

Hehehe... just kidding...! (but if the last question was true for you, better checked with your Heath Care Policy if it covers this illness category...)
