Is Your Life A Result Of Your Choices Or Is It A Destiny?

Do you believe that you were given the freewill to make your own choices in life and that nothing is destiny? My favorite philosopher, Albert Camus, said that life is the sum of all your choices. I agree with him. However, our choices are subject to our facticities. These are the things that we were born with and which we are not able to choose.

Davao City Council Imitating Congress

Is the Davao City Council imitating the House of Congress?

Is Councilor Bonifacio Militar being booted out as Floor Leader?

These are the questions that hound the mind of Dabawenyos amid last week's rumors that something is brewing at the city council and it is definitely not coffee. This suspicion was confirmed after vice mayor Sara Duterte admitted that Militar hinted he was stepping down as floor leader.

If this is Militar's way of jumping the gun before his colleagues remove him from his post this Tuesday then I admire him for knowing when to fight and knowing when to bow down. However, this does not mean he has lost everything. He is still a member of the city council and still very much needed.

Militar is among the few councilors who are so passionate about what they do. And after councilor Zozobrado died, he is one of those few remaining councilors who can launch a tirade in the middle of any meeting or session just to get things done.

Globe's Very Affordable Landline, Broadband, Laptop Promo

Want a landline, a broadband connection plus an ASUS laptop for only P1,620 per month? Then try the Globe Broadband Sulit Computer Bundle.

I was trying to change my broadband provider as early as last December but unfortunately, Globe's services is still so limited it could not accomodate clients from the city's outskirts. My desire to switch providers was stirred once again when I saw the small laptop being offered by Globe for those who will avail of the Sulit Promo which has a lock-in period of 2 years.

The Asus laptop is not the Asus Eee PC (with 512 MB memory) being shown in their brochures though. The ASUS bundled for the promo is a lower model and retails for about P19,000.

Cockroach For Valentines?

Are you giving your loved ones a heart shape cake this Valentine's Day? Then be careful that you don't get to buy this heart-shaped Valentine's cake from the bakery of one of the leading stores along Matina in Davao City. Unless of course you want an added flavor in the form of a cockroach.

I was looking at the Valentine displays of the said store this morning and was already taking photos when a woman told me "bawal pa naman mag picture dito". I asked her why and she said "kailangan hingi ka muna ng permiso". I saw the cockroach and was able to get a photo even before she called my attention. I can't blame her. If my display is as UNSANITARY as this, I would also be as strict about people taking photos of my "creations".

Now I am wondering if the loaf bread and the other breads I bought from that bakery after doing my groceries are as clean as this.

By the way, you would never expect this store (an all in one store by the way) to have this creepy creature, especially in its bakery. It's a big store, with lots of suki and is locally owned. Got the drift? If you want to know which store you can ask me. I might be tempted to tell you which one. Otherwise, you can compare the photo with the cakes on display in major stores in the Matina area.

Diatabs For Davao City Jail Inmates

The inmates of the Davao City Jail are in need of Diatabs and other stomach medicines after they fell ill due to water-borne diseases. Prison authorities said most of the food brought for the prisoners last Christmas ended up spoiled and it may have caused stomach upset among the prisoners. Visitors are thus encouraged to bring Diatabs and medicines instead of food.
