Greenwich joins University of Makati Buwan ng Wika 2010 celebration
The University of Makati celebrated the annual Buwan ng Wika with music and dancing, entertaining a large crowd packing the Admin Mini Theater yesterday, August 20, 2010. Faculty and select students put their energies together to entertain and enjoin their fellow students in promoting the spirit of patriotism, love of country and environmentalism. Yesterday was peppered with programs and activities that not only entertained but also instilled social awareness. Breaking the ice were some inspiring words from College of Arts Sciences and Education Dean Milagros Torres. She stressed on how important it is to celebrate Buwan ng Wika because it reminds us of how the development of language significantly contributes to nation-building. And at the center of it all was this:
Oh yeah. Greenwich’s Shrimp and Garlic Pizza!!!! Of course there’s my favorite Hungarian Sausage Pizza.
There were several prizes given away to the students, especially those who performed. They all deserved it. Good to know that Greenwich was right there celebrating with them. Greenwich’s contribution only proves their commitment to encouraging the youth to do their part in the development of Filipino as the bridge to national unity and economic progress.
Mabuhay ang Wikang Filipino!

Josiah’s Catering: When Good Food Matters
Successful parties begin with serious and careful planning. That is what Josiah’s Catering offers. Aside from great food, they have some partnerships with class-A venues that will make parties and events memorable and convenient for your guests. When I was still working with Lawson Software, our Christmas parties were always catered by Josiah’s. Their food does not disappoint, so if you’re planning your wedding, or Christening or your daughter’s debut, I would highly recommend Josiah’s Catering.
Just because you think Josiah’s is a high-end caterer to many big companies, it doesn’t they’re not affordable. I have seen their menu and they have a package that will suit any budget. Visit them or give them a call.
You can also visit their website for more information.

Yes, I am 40
Tomorrow I turn 40. Talagang wala na sa kalendaryo, pero nasa Lotto pa rin! No I’m not going to talk about any restaurant here. Just some insights on how it feels to be 40. And my goodness, what a number it is. It’s like the second wave of puberty. You’re too old for Lady Gaga, but you’re too young for adult diapers. At 40, many of my contemporaries have made something of themselves. Captains of industry, VP for this and that, kids who have boyfriends/girlfriends, positions of responsibility and authority. Maestros of the orchestras of life. Read the rest of this post »

PPLIC Goes To A New Low
A rant I once wrote about the Philippine Prudential Life Insurance Corporation (PPLIC) was all directed at how unscrupulous their agents have been in selling insurance. Not only have they become aggressive, they’ve become deceitful. The purpose of this rant is for PPLIC people to please police their agents and stick to “white hat” tactics. There is no debate about life insurance being an important thing to have. I personally believe in investing in life insurance. My whole family is insured under Philam and despite their problems with the AIG fiasco, I sleep soundly at night knowing that Philam Life will take care of my family in case I die before my time. I’m sure PPLIC aims to do the same for their customers, but your methods of selling it is really despicable. And when someone like me rants about it in my blog, these are the kind of comments that I get from YOUR PEOPLE.
All from the same IP address sent on August 6, between 10:19 am to 11:15 am.
This says a lot about how things work in your organization. It is reflective of what your vision and mission is based on. If you at PPLIC just wanted to silence me, all you could have done was write me an apology email saying you promise to mend your ways and I could have posted it here for you. A simple email that explained why your agents have become deceitful and have promised prizes and all just to compel them to buy insurance.
There is such a thing as soft sell and that is usually more effective than what PPLIC agents are doing now. You might want to look in on that. Because of the subtlety of soft sell, my whole family got ALL their insurance needs from Philam Life. And we were spending load to call the agent. Their insurance plans sell themselves, as it is also with other reputable insurance companies like Sunlife, Insular Life, Ayala Life, etc.
To PPLIC people, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME SPAMMING MY INBOX! You have a lot of brainstorming and LEGITIMATE SELLING to do.
