[did you know?] Do you watch DWWX-TV or DZBB-TV in the Greater Manila area?
Then you're either a Kapamilya (DWWX, aka ABS-CBN) or a Kapuso (DZBB, aka GMA)!

[did you know?] Singapore, Metro Manila cities, and Davao City
Singapore is larger than Metro Manila! 710 sq.km versus 640 sq.km. That makes Singapore as a city larger than any city in Metro Manila. But... Davao City is 2444 sq.km! Metro Davao is 3750 sq.km! That's more than 3 to 6 times larger than Singapore or Metro Manila, or nearly 3 times larger than Singapore and Metro Manila combined! The Greater Manila area which includes Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Rizal is around 4863 sq.km. In comparison, the Tokyo Metropolis and New York Metropolis are 2187 and 17405 sq.km respectively. Manila though (the city, not the metropolis) is one of the most densely populated city in the world, with 1 person per 23 square meters, second only to Dhaka in India with 1 person per 22 square meters.

Better Resumes
Based on http://www.forbes.com/2009/12/01/resume-writing-guide-leadership-careers-employment.html?feed=rss_popstories
1. Write a "positioning statement," or "professional summary." Yes, ideally this is just one statement.
2. List down your top accomplishments.
3. Choose your keywords. Match them up with the words the company uses.
4. Sometimes, computers are used to scan your resume for keywords. One trick you can do is to type in keywords at the end of your resume, but make their font color white. This way, the hiring managers don't see them, but the computers will.
5. Polish your LinkedIn profile. Post your resume there, too. And add a photo.
6. If you have the looks, make a "visume," a video resume that you can send via e-mail.

[reactions+reflections] CHRISTmas
I attended the Christmas Eve mass at the Our Lady of Lourdes Church (OLLC) in Singapore. At the start of the celebration, and during his homily, the priest reminds us, "It is not Christmas if Jesus is not in your life." Amen to that.
I think there's a reason why it's not called GIFTmas or ROMANCEmas or YOURPARTNERmas or YOURFAMILYmas or YOUmas or SANTAmas or YOURWISHESGRANTEDmas or YOURHAPPINESSmas or NOCHEBUENAmas or AGUINALDOmas or MONEYmas. It's just not about any of those things, first of all.
Although Christmas originated from "Christ's Mass," we can look at it as Christ-mas: more of Christ. And that is what it should really be, more of Christ.
Celebrating Jesus' birth on this day (though it is most likely not the actual birthdate of Jesus) is a reminder for us of how God loves us so much, that he gave his only begotten Son to live among us, as one of us, and later in his life, to die and be offered as The Most Holy Sacrifice on the Cross to save us all from our sins! That is really all the gift that should matter: God's gift of salvation in Jesus his Son who became mortal but overcame death by his resurrection.
The priest-celebrator at OLLC also reminded us that Jesus was born at the darkest hour, around midnight - where a lot of sins happen particularly in today's highly urbanized areas. A lot of crime. A lot of pre- and extra-marital sex. And so on.
Jesus was born in the darkest hour because he is to be the Brightest Light, our Salvation, in the midst of all of our sins. Thus also the highly symbolic "Star of Bethlehem."
That is probably one reason why Christmas is celebrated late in December 25, corresponding to the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (where Jesus was born), when the darkest of nights also occur. (Daylight is shortest around this time.)
Jesus is our light in the darkest of times. He is the reason why we should be happy and why we greet others to be happy on Christmas day.
Reflecting on this now, I believe the best way to respond to someone greeting you "Merry Christmas," just as you would respond "You are welcome" when someone tells you "Thank you," is "Thank God for Jesus." Essentially they are the same greeting.
And thus this should be why Christmas becomes a time for giving - because we are thankful that God gave us Jesus first. It's not a time for asking for gifts. We all have already been given the greatest gift of all!
Thank God for Jesus!
I have heard of people saying "it's not a happy Christmas for me," or "it's a sad Christmas day." Well it's normal to experience sadness once in a while or when something unpleasant unexpectedly happens. But above it all, I hope Christmas is still Christmas for everyone...
