The Road to Success is not straight: There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!

GLOBAL WARMING





Global warming and pollution. Those are what's everyone's concerned about these days. The impending destruction of Earth looms over as people do not take necessary precautions in taking good stewardship of what was entrusted by God. Various documentaries and movies were shown to make us aware of what consequences we shall all pay should we not take care of our environment. As so graphic and very fictional it is, The Thaw was the most recent movie I've watched concerning Global warming. Al Gore is even coming here to the Philippines to talk about such thing.

Alternative energy became a popular term and method as people become somehow more aware on how to conserve our resources. Some use renewable energy for household applications such as solar power for electricity and etc. Some would try to convert waste to energy. Some search for alternatives for oil in for transportation. Moreover, people are gearing towards opportunity fuels.

I have found a company whose advocacies are towards a better and cleaner environment. Clean coal, which reduces CO2 emissions by putting it underground is one of their advocacies. N-Viro, a corporation that licenses its technology utilize alternative energy helps the cities and municipalities achieve a sustainable environment. They actually convert dirty waters into a clean ones. What a miracle, isn't it?

Who doesn't want to have a peaceful and sustainable place to live. We only have one planet to live in and we have to take care of it.

FAREWELL SEC BONCODIN


The Philippines is mourning again as another truthful and dedicated public servant has passed away.

Former Budget Secratary Emilia Boncodin died on Monday afternoon. The National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI), in a medical bulletin, said Boncodin died at 2:05 p.m. due to cardiac arrest. She was 55. She was tried to be revived for two hours but her frail body gave up.

She was admitted to the said hospital on March 10 due to difficulty in breathing. Her diagnosis was anemia and end stage renal disease or what we call Nephropathy. She has a history of congenital kidney cyst. Her sister was chosen as a potential donor after it was determined that she was a perfect match but Sec. Boncodin requested to have it postponed until the Philippine Congress has passed the budget that year.

Boncondin has been a consistent valedictorian from elementary up to high school. She became then a scholar of the University of the Philippines in which she Majored in Business Administration and Accountancy. After graduation, she took the CPA Board Examination and was included among the top 20, placing in the 15th spot.

She also taught as a professorial lecturer at the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) at the University of the Philippines and the Lyceum of the Philippines.

She was awarded the degree of Master in Public Administration at Harvard University as an Edward S. Mason Fellow.

She is known as a professional and hard working public servant. She initially joined the department as a senior fiscal planning specialist. In 1978, she quickly rose to become division chief at the age of 27, then Director of the Office of Budget and Management, and then Officer-in-Charge of the Government Corporations Budget Bureau of the reorganized DBM.

In 2005, she halted her post at the government as she joined the other cabinet members who called for the resignation of President Macapagal Arroyo. Their group was popularly known as the "Hyatt 10". In 2009, she joined the board of directors of Petron as an independent director.

I really do have high respects for CPAs like Boncodin as I myself, is an Accounting graduate and I know how hard the course is. I admired her for her intellect and dedication as I always hear her on interviews being held by a Christian radio show where my mother always listens to. For a very brilliant and skilled mind like hers, a better opportunity privately or even outside the Philippines could have made her life better and even prosperous. However, she humbly stayed and opted to serve her countrymen.

We do hope that another wonderful person just like her would emerge someday. Transparent, patriotic, and truly dedicated to serve the people.

Farewell Sec!

ORPHAN


Orphan has become my ever favorite movie so far after buying it from a local DVD store. The story is amazing, the scenes are so intense and frightening you cannot predict what's going to happen and that little "psycho-evil" girl Esther who wasn't even a girl anymore made everyone blow a fuse. Everybody from the hate community wants to smack her should be given a chance. Enough of the rage though, it just proves how effective Isabelle Fuhrman as an actress. Gosh, her imminent stare made my blood run cold.


The whole cast ensemble are terrific, something that you do not commonly expect from a horror/suspense movie. Aside from Isabelle Fuhrman, Vera Farmiga, and Peter Sarsgaard who became my ultimate crush after watching this film, I became so fascinated with Aryana Engineer. She played the role as a deaf-mute daughter of Kate and John who became Esther's sister after the adoption process. I am now wondering if a Cochlear Implant could have helped in uncovering the villain's secrets immediately and prevented all the sinister things that had happened.


Well, I am not the scriptwriter nor the creator of the story but I guess if that had happened the whole scenario could have changed. A Cochlear Implant for your information is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. Majority of the patients have greatly benefited after undergoing Cochlear Implant Surgery. However, this does not guarantee an eternal sunshine nor give a miracle for everyone. The doctors are out there, their advice is necessary and every patient who wants to undergo such surgery has to consult first before taking a major decision.
