Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (So that others may no longer suffer)

Dear Mr. Edwin B. Dominado It took me sometime before I've decided to do this post. I believe in the power of Karma and my present financial state is not really that rosy. It has been a very difficult year and I have not been able to settle a few financial obligations. I fear that what I am about to do will rebound on me in the end. But my continued silence about the matter would mean that it would provide you with an opportunity to take advantage of other people due to your charm and charisma most especially the Filipino elderly community in Florida. Sometime in June, 2013 my bedridden Aunt who regards you as a friend entrusted to you the total amount of $1,900.00 to be remitted to my father here in the Philippines. A portion of that amount would have been used for the medical and medicine expenses of my parents. The rest was alloted to the educational needs of my sister's children who my Aunt is helping out. It was a normal business transaction for she has d...

Finding the Right Topic to Write in My Blog

Since I started blogging again a few months back, I am really having a hard time finding the right topic to write in my blog. If you had the chance to follow my previous blog, I mainly wrote about four things: Issues related to the operations of an internet cafe business The initiatives and projects of the Internet Cafe Association of Imus, Inc. ICAII was a professional organization that was composed of owners or operators of internet cafes in Imus, Cavite. We had a lot of projects and initiatives that caught the attention of other internet cafe associations, educational institutions and government agencies. ICAII provided me with the opportunity to get in touch with the different internet cafe associations all over the Philippines. I was later hired by G.ho.st (Global Hosted Operating System), a technology company based in Israel to be their country representative to market their G.ho.st Virtual Desktop in the Philippines. As early ...

eTextbooks in Philippine Schools Starting School Year 2013 - 2014

School Year 2013 – 2014 promises to be exciting in the field of information communication technology in education. A number of schools have partnered with textbook publishers to implement a eTextbook program and they promised to bring learning through digital technology to a higher level of experience. As early as two years ago textbook publishers became interested in digitizing their content and offering a whole new learning experience to the students and teachers. They have either partnered with an IT company that develops the IT platform to be used or have invested in a new company that would handle the digitization and selling of the solutions. De La Salle Greenhills had their pilot project implemented last school year and other schools not only in Metro Manila but also in the provinces had expressed their interest in implementing one starting this school year. The advantages cited by the textbook publishers in shifting to the digital versions are the following:

ChowKing Short Changing Their Customer Experience

What's Up ChowKing? There was a time that if you want good Chinese fast food Chowking was the place to be. But it seems lately that they are changing things in their company that it was not the way it used to be. Forget about the pronouncements of the administration that the country's economy is taking off. Things has been though on everybody including those in business but are you in the right path Chowking?

KFC Whats the Difference Between a Dine In and a Take Out Customer

Since I went back to managing my own business last January, it is not often that we had an opportunity as a family to go out and eat at our favorite fast food restaurants. After spending the day in Manila for my father's medical check up I've decided to bring home to my wife her favorite chicken meal from KFC. I went to KFC Imus and ordered the full 2 piece Street Wise Meal that came along with one rice, mushroom soup, mashed potatoes, a brownie and a drink. I paid Php180.00 for the take out meal and while waiting I thought that it would be nice if I could bring some extra gravy for the take out since my wife really loves to have a lot of gravy in her mashed potatoes. When I got my order I asked the attendant if I could have an extra small plastic cup that I could put the extra gravy in and her answer astonished me.
