I would love to share these things with you...

I am just an average Filipino IT enthusiast. I do not own my own company (not yet at least, hehehe). I am not an executive. I am not even a "somebody" in our small IT community here in Davao city. But even so, I believe that in my own small ways there are things I can share that you can benefit from. I have a heart for IT. I have a passion for teaching (more on "sharing" actually). I may not be the visionary leader type that can organize and mobilize people and communities towards a fruitful cause or a profitable venture, but I am confident that there are ideas I can contribute, and that I can make a difference.

In this blog, I would like to share with you the following :

Stories
I like stories. In our relatively short lifetime, it is impossible to experience everything. But with stories shared to us, we can imagine... and experience much more than we (in reality) can. I'll share with you stories of success, to inspire you to achieve the same or even better. I'll share with you stories of failures and difficulties, to help you learn from them. Another good thing about stories is that even though they may not be your own, you may pass them to others and share.

PhilNITS
Some of you may be familiar with it, some may not even have heard of it. But you will see a lot of the Philippine National IT Standard (PhilNITS) in this blog, simply because I believe in it, how it can help us lift our IT knowledge and skill standards, and how it can help showcase the Filipino IT capability. Maybe I might even share how you can pass the exam :)

Ideas
I have my "notebook of ideas". Actually it should be "notebooks of ideas", because I have compiled about three of them already. They still do not include the ideas I have written on countless small pieces of paper, and even saved in my mobile phone's "not sent" box. If not particularly useful for you, at least I hope some might be an interesting read.

Davao
When I first visited Davao, I came to love the place and its people (I am now married to a beautiful Dabawena). Davao is the place I will raise my kids in. I also used to give training to the best graduates of the top IT schools in the Philippines, including those from Baguio, Manila, Cebu and Davao. Amongst my trainees, I can personally attest that graduates from Davao are one of the brightest, and that they have the best personality you’d love to work with. I have since taken it as my personal mission to promote Davao in the field of IT.

Japan
I would love to share with you my experiences and observations during my visits to Japan. Some might not even be about IT (e.g. Nihongo, culture, etc.), but I will try to keep them as interesting as possible. I'd love to share with you my experiences in other countries as well, but so far other than the Philippines, I have only been to Japan :)

and many more...
