It's rare for me to say I want a high end gadget, but this is true... I want the Blackberry Q10. The Blackberry Q10 I'm not fond of buying high end gadgets since I know I'm quite clumsy and tend not to take care of my gadgets properly. But oh how I would love to have a Blackberry Q10. I was at the Davao launch of the BB10 OS and the Blackeberry Z10. I was quite amazed at the BB10 OS but thought that the Blackberry Z10 wasn't for me. It didn't have the signature Blackberry QWERTY keypad that I had grown to love. So when I saw the Blackberry Q10, with the BB10 OS and the Blackberry QWERTY, I fell in love with it. I was also able to test drive it for a few hours during the Davao launch and I could say it's the smartphone for me. The BB10 OS allows professionals, like me, to achieve work life balance via 2 user profiles that can be switched on and off or used side by side. Plus, it has an intuitive typing feature which actually learns the words you often use. Faster typing without the annoying autocorrect mistakes.…

Through the Fire Once Again
Not a lot of people are aware of it, but I've been through some tough times these past few months. Once again, my faith in people was tested. On most nights in January and February, I was crying. The only times I wouldn't cry was if I was out of town. Still smiling I have never aspired for awards or recognition. For the most part, I did my job earnestly because I loved the challenge of it and because I loved the people I was with. I was fiercely loyal and at times, clouded by my need to please my peers. But alas, my hard work and loyalty didn't count for much. As much as I would like to blame gossip, idle talk, politics, or whatever there is to blame, I was never able to make full sense of what happened. I felt lonely, betrayed, and useless. All my hard work for more than two years went unappreciated and counted for nothing. The people I fought so hard for, didn't value me as much as I valued them. Worse of all, my friends who didn't do anything wrong except be my friend became targets of other people's ire and paranoia.…

Proud to Be Part of Team Bonguyan
I am proud to be part of Team Bonguyan. Team Bonguyan Published from the Page of Luis "Louie" C. Bonguyan, congressional candidate for the First District of Davao City: You can create and propagate a lie in one day. You can successfully destroy a person's credibility. But in the end, you have achieved nothing good. Team Bonguyan has ran a clean and honest campaign since the first time our candidate ran as Councilor of Davao City way back in 1988. We take immense pride in this and despite the odds, we have never and will never resort to bribery, vote buying, mud slinging, and black propaganda. 15 years of untainted record in public service is no mean feat. The entire city has witnessed that. If there's one thing we are proud of it's that our candidate has remained credible and trust worthy through his years as a public servant. We believe in our candidate and in his platform. And if we win, it will be because our candidate has won over the people, fair and square. We are and will always be proud to be part of Team Bonguyan. Yes, very proud to be part of Team Bonguyan.
