In Your Face!

It was just a little before 3 PM when my 4 o’clock appointment walked into the lobby of our training center where we were holding interviews. She was a lot taller, a lot bigger, and a lot different than the person I perceived from the photo on her resume. But I wasn’t wrong about her [...]

Different Point of Views Are Inevitable

I am often surprised at how different other people’s opinions are from mine. 11 days ago, I was beside myself with glee when I found that “Star Trek” (2009) was on TV! I have seen it in the theater, and I was quite impressed with the movie. And I was happy that I got the [...]

OMGIF!

During our first year in college, mid term tests were always held on Saturdays. It was a smart strategy. In this way, it saved my school from the headache of having to find dates and set a separate exam schedule. It would be just fine for us if there was nothing on Friday afternoon, so [...]

The Lure of A Bookstore Bargain

Kitten In The Attic

Last week, I was getting into my bedroom when I heard a soft but distinct, familiar sound. I stopped turning the key and concentrated on my hearing. There it was again. A meow. A small meow of a kitten from somewhere in the house. Wait. What? A kitten in the house? I stood still and [...]

The Right to Access to IT

My wife and I were waiting for the salesperson to complete the set up for the new tablet PC we were buying. An elderly couple came up. Seeing the tablet, the elderly lady began asking questions to the salesperson. “What is the difference between this,” she pointed at our tablet, “and the one with bi

My wife’s niece had an emergency C-section surgery last wednesday. Her baby was in his seventh month in the womb when she began to have bleedings. Her doctor insisted to deliver the baby prematurely to reduce the risk of endangering the lives of both mother and baby. Rey was born on January 10, 2012
