This past week my mother and family went to San Nicolas, their hometown in the Philippines, to host a medical mission for people in the area. The purpose of the mission was to provide medicine, checkups and services to needy people in their hometown. During the whole day, they were able to help 1600 people. That’s twice as many people they had a couple years ago. I put together a video with the photos that were sent.
My parents worked and studied hard to achieve more out of life, and now they return to give back to the community they left behind. It’s an amazing story, that happens not just in San Nicolas, but throughout the Philippines.
If I could ever have a plush dream job, scratch that, the perfect career, I’d travel the world like Anthony Bourdain, trying different foods, writing about my experiences, photographing the obscure to the most memorable, and learning to cook just about everything I’ve eaten.
For now I guess I have to place the perfect career on the backburner and leave it to moonlighting when I plan my next trip. So where should I go to next? I’d love to hear your recommendations, your experiences, or things that I should try. Help me fill the wanderlust with experiences I’ll never forget. ALL COMMENTS WELCOME.
One of the scariest things I ever watched as a child was a scene from Steven Spielberg’s, “Poltergeist”. It was the scene right after they pulled the mother and Carrie Ann away from the light, and they were covered in gelatenous goo that looked like blood. I remember having this fear as a kid that if and when I was pulled into the light by a poltergeist, I’d be stuck in that disgusting goo too.
Imagine how horrified I became when I saw this post on BoingBoing for a fun bath gel for kids. The fears of poltergeists chasing me came flooding back. Who in their right mind would want their kids to play in bloody goo? And can you tell me which normal 5 year old kid would think it would be fun to sit in a vat of bloody goo in the first place?
So Windows Vista launches in a few hours, and I think if you are super duper intrigued about being the first one to install Windows Vista on your PC, you can get to your local software store and pick one up. And if you are truly a fan, you can get the super duper ultimate edition, signed by Bill Gates himself. You know you can’t turn down that opportunity.
What freaks me out, is how strikingly similar it is to the simplified MAC OS. There is no more crap on the desktop promoting Windows ish, and the honking big widgets sidebars look strikingly familiar to what the MAC OS has. Why reinvent the wheel? Just get a MAC, and I’m sure you will be extremely happy.
Forget the overpriced iPhone, I would have to say this has to be one of the coolest mobile innovations to date. Moderati has created a mobile application that serves and suits your needs during those socially awkward moments.
Mobile FakerTM is designed to help consumers navigate the competitive social scene with ease. Ever been at a bar and needed to look busy because some loser is giving you the eye? Schedule a Faux Call and your handset will rescue you.
Now why didn’t I think of building something like this. Now you will never need to have your friend call you when you want to get out of that bad date. What are they planning on doing next, create a Mobile app, that helps you out when you need a wingman? Hmmm. Just maybe.
