Valentines Day

February 17, 2007

Is there such a day?

I have been amazed on how this day has evolved. Hearts flying everywhere. Chocolates and flowers filling up the streets. Restaurants filled with dating couples.

Yes. It's valentines day.

The question remains, is there really such a day?

Many may argue, some may even frown. But I sincerely believe that this day has been developed by business establishments and other marketing giants. I don't think LOVE created this day. Profits did.

Oh well, what can we do? It's there. I'll just make the most out of it. 

Valentines day - what a marketing product.

PACMAN for Congress?

Are you kidding?

Rumor has it, Manny, will run for office. What does he plan to do? Square off with the politicians? It would appear Pacman is becoming smarter towards life. Boxing made him a multi-millionaire. Politics will make him an instant billionaire.

Just a piece of advice though, how do you plan to implement your platform? Errr, let me rephrase, do you have one?

Don't be forced into running just because a few vultures told you that they will fund your campaign as long as you defeat their longtime opposition candidate.

Don't be a fool Manny. . . Stay in the Ring.

PACAMAN for Congress? ARE YOU FOR REAL?

The glory that used to be . . . PHILIPPINE AIRLINES

We were the original. Now we are the worst.

Yes. I have to say it, I do not like the service of Philippine Airlines. They better review the competence and courtesy of their Flight Attendants. Frankly, they are starting to lose their competitive advantage: HOSPITALITY.

First and foremost, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KEY. I only have 2 RULES: Rule # 1; THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. Rule # 2; If the customer is not right, just refer to rule # 1.

Second, SINCERITY IS OF THE ESSENCE. I cannot feel this in your service. In fact, you suck at it.

You better improve guys. Or else, you'll lose customers.

It's truly the glory that used to be . . . PAL - Plane always late.

Another era is dawning . . .

"The world has become unipolar . . ." Excerpts taken from the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin where he criticized the foreign policy of the United States.

Dangerous comments though. It sounds like the "Cold War" era is brewing in the corner.

As a citizen of this planet, he is entitled to his own opinion. As a leader of a powerful nation, he has a responsibility to the world in which he lives in. As a former enemy of the United States, he has to take careful steps in issuing statements such as these.

Russia cannot survive without the West at this point in time. Remember, America is looking for a new element in its war economy. "Don't join the fray Putin." You might be next. Not in terms of military conflict, but a deadlier form of weaponry, ECONOMICS.

Be careful Vladimir, you might piss off Uncle Sam.

Another era is dawning, and it is scary.
