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.

Are you bored of the usual grind? Why don't you flex your mental muscles by joining Bigby's Trivia Nights? Davao Bloggers at Bigbys Trivia Night Dec 2012 Every Wednesday, Trivia Nights are held in select Bigby's Cafe and Restaurant outlets. For every Trivia Night, there are 4 sets of questions with each set composing of 2 - 3 categories. And each category has about 5 - 8 questions each. The questions are so random that sometimes it would take a whole lot of luck just to earn some points. And then, there are times when luck is on your side and most categories are easy for your group. The first time I joined, the category was necklace types. We sucked at that category. Davao Bloggers at Bigbys Trivia Night January 2013 There is no limit to how many members are in a group. My group, representing Davao Bloggers has joined most Trivia Nights. We have won some, and we have lost even more times. It's great fun trying to score points, cheering, and occasionally jeering and bullying. And there's quite a rapport going on among teams at the Abreeza Ayala Mall branch. One advantage we might have is how varied…
Top Five Tips to Survive the Sinulog Festival
Cebu is ready. Are you ready for Sinulog 2013? Chinese Dragon Dancers during the 2012 SinulogThe Sinulog Festival is an annual Cebuano festival held on the third Sunday of January. It is a Catholic festival celebrating Cebu's patron saint, the Santo Nino. It is touted as the biggest mardi gras festival in the Philippines. The Santo Nino at the end of the ProcessionOn the Saturday before the grand parade, the Cebuanos hold the "Procession." Locals and tourists alike join a lengthy walk around the city holding with them their Santo Nino. For some, this is a panata (devotion) which they do every year. It's very hard to go around the city on this day as most streets are either closed or redirected. Taxis are nowhere to be found and jeepneys are only on selected routes. On the Sinulog day itself, there's a Sinulog Festival Grand Parade of colorful floats, schoolchildren, and street dancers go around the city. Spectators fill the streets to the brim. It is one of the grandest and most popular festivals in the Philippines. The Sinulog Crowd of Santo Nino DevoteesI hesitantly joined the Sinulog Festival 2012 and I was surprised to have totally enjoyed it. I'm…
