Make 2009 A Better Year
TweetAs we celebrate the new year with festivities, in another part of the world, they are observing it with air raids, bombs, fear, and uncertainty. Blame it not on Israel for it’s continued air raid and ground assault, neither the Hamas for the rockets fired. This conflict had it’s root from the decisions made by…
TweetFinally, this blog is up and kicking again after 2 or 3 days in hiatus. This site was hacked and malicious scripts were injected to it’s root folders resulting to missing php’s. Thanks to Jez for his assistance. As you probably noticed, Sonnie’s Porch was in semi-hibernate mode for about 2 weeks, providing only short…
TweetI am not talking about the global economy, which I planned to blog about with the recent effect of the crisis to Asian markets and currencies. Rather, I’m referring to myself who was rattled when our little princess was admitted to a hospital for suspected dengue fever. If confirmed, she’s the first case in our…
TweetWhile most are reeling from the effects of fuel increase, not all are bothered. Having started my profession in people management, I was introduced to the different mindset of people from different social status.

Instead of celebrating Christmas the traditional way, we opted to pool our resources to “adopt-a-family.” Each of my staff, though earning between US $ 6-8/day, donated US $ 3.52 each, and as…

TweetI just finished watching the rematch of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao against Marco Antonio “Baby Face Assasin” Barerra live via sattelite at SM Cinema. As expected, Manny won the fight, unfortunately, it was not via knockout but unanimous decision. I thought this was a boring and dirty fight courtesy of Barerra. Barerra’s battle plan is not…
TweetI was one of the Filipinos who mourned on the loss of SMC-Pilipinas All Pro National Basketball team to Jordan, that also extinguished our dream to return to Olympics Basketball, an opportunity that some believed, is gone forever. I also lost interest following the succeeding games, but hey, after that loss, SMC-Pilipinas went on a…

This blog of 6 years is a witness to my ascendancy to executive HR position and my foolish attempt to start my own company, ha ha.
This blog used to be the depository of my thoughts about people management, social web and how to use this to build your personal brand. I have since diversified to niche blogging and decided to use this to keep my personal reflections.
