from the Bachelor Living notes of Renzie Baluyut. If you’ve been living on your own for a while, you’ve probably developed this knack of keeping all your spare change in a little container- or in my case, several. It’s almost like clockwork: everytime I come home, I empty my pockets of pretty much everything in […]

You’ll be surprised how some small changes can have such a profound effect on your life!
The Philippine Culture of Dependence
Here’s what I think: the reason why we have so many poor people in the Philippines is that our society has a pervasive culture of dependence and patronage. It is uncommon for Filipinos, I believe, to take an active part in challenging the status quo, and be more involved in carving out a fortune for […]

10 Ways to Relax on a Rainy Day
by Renzie Baluyut
It’s the rainy season at around this time of year in the Philippines, so you can expect the usual downpour in the afternoons and early evenings. There’d be times when it would be raining all day, and if you’re really lucky, you’ll find yourself in the path of the occasional tropical storm.

Or Work related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD). Whatever it is, the joint area that connects my right pointy finger with the rest of the […]
