Two Tropical Rainstorms before Christmas 2015

Typhoon "Nona" lingers while typhoon "Onyok" causes flooding due to its continuous rain in the Mindanao region. Southern Luzon and the rest of Metro Manila experiences non-stop raining. For a regular update on the situation, you may visit the interactive and very helpful DOST-Project NOAH website and The Daily Weather forecast given by Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration  also known as PAGASA.

So what's keeping you guys busy with this cold, wet weather? As for me, I'm having a DVD-marathon of the Walking Dead series with my family. It's interesting to join in the discussion happening between my children in-between the episodes as they have their own ideas, understanding and opinion of the series. Sometimes the exchange can be so long that I need to chime-in and ask them to watch the next episode instead.

I have scheduled a Saturday afternoon training for my high school basketball team but it is highly likely that it will be cancelled. By the way, we've been invited to play against an All-Star Selection of Junior Basketball players in our Baranggay next week. I wonder how my 16 and Under team will fare against the 18 and Under Team, I'm excited to find out.

Before I close this second post, I'd like to send thoughts of positivity and prayers of protection for those affected by the storm.

Blogging is Dead, Not Writing

Hi there!

I agree that the platform called BLOG is dead. However I'm still using it now. Or may I say I am returning to BLOGGING after more than a year of doing something else. I've started blogging in 2004 and kept at it for almost eight years, reaching my peak and my blog's traffic peak on my fifth year. Gained many readers who have become friends, enemies, fans and haters. Throughout the entire blogging I've had, I've been given special treatment and maltreatment because I was covering events of theirs, giving them "mileage" in their niche market.

I've covered major events and have interviewed personalities who are celebrities in their own field. This has given me the opportunity to connect and look into how these leaders think and act on and off the eyes of their fans, competitors and of course sponsors. They act differently in different situations.

All this time I kept my work in the academe and have continued to teach in the international school circuit. Teaching will always be my love and loving what I do in school and off it makes me grow more into a mature individual.  

I've been wanting to go back to blogging, back to writing. In the last four years, I've slowly but not smoothly hopped into another sports coaching from chess to basketball. Both sports are incomparable but coaching is basically teaching.

How I love the opportunities given to teachers. We get to help shape the future and a lot of times, I get to touch eternity.

I wish to truly go back to writing online. I want to find out what would make me commit to writing again. I wish I could be disciplined enough to write here at least once a week and share what's happening on this side of the universe.

I wouldn't want to reveal my identity anymore except maybe to my players and readers who I personally know.

So guys and gals, I hope I can give you another serving of my writing which probably will cover sports, coaching, teaching, living a good and sometimes difficult life.

So here's to writing from me to you, fabph76.
