Watch NFL at the comforts of your own home

If you’re an NFL fan and you’re too lazy to go out and watch the game live, then the NFL Sunday Ticket is for you. You can still enjoy the action by inviting friends over, prepare some snacks and booze and get on with your cheer. This is also great for guys if they’re tired of movie marathons or TV series every night. You and your friends can enjoy a week-long NFL because it offers up to 16 games per week. Oh, and if you’re crushing on that hunk player, they have a special feature called “Player Tracker” that follows your favorite player.

You’re definitely getting a good deal of entertainment with the NFL Sunday Ticket price. You can even check out the NFL Sunday Ticket schedule so you won’t miss your favorite game or favorite player in action.

Inside a call center

I often wondered what it’s like inside a call center? I’m sure some of your friends are call center agents, it’s one of the popular careers in the Philippines since the boom of call center industry a few years ago. Fresh from graduation 6 years ago, I received a call from Etelecare and right then and there, the caller interviewed me and invited me to come to their office for another round of interview. Apparently, I passed the initial phone interview but I didn’t go to their office because I don’t want to work on a graveyard shift. I’m grumpy when I lack sleep, and I hate answering phone calls.

Running with an umbrella? Safety tips on running during the rainy season

We all know that rainy season is the time when all you want is to stay in bed and be a couch potato. Like me, all I want is to eat, sleep and stay inside the house. But for some health buffs, rainy season should not hinder you from working out. If you’re really determined to work out, you wouldn’t let nature get in your way to fitness. With this in mind, Jeff and I decided to resume our running stint in UP. The UP Academic Oval is runner-friendly and biker-friendly because a separate lane is dedicated for such activity. Unfortunately, on my last lap, rain poured and I was drenched because I can’t run fast enough to get to the parking area. I also saw players from the baseball field carrying their baseball bats, gloves, and batting equipment, the rain also ruined their practice. So what to do? Should you carry an umbrella while running?

Touch a blogger: Tie a yellow ribbon for Cory Aquino!

The whole nation is once again united in prayers to support the former President Cory Aquino and her family. Cory Aquino has been admitted in the Makati Medical Center for over a month now. According to some press releases of the Aquino family, their mother is not in pain and comfortable. I just wish that God will give her strength to overcome the pain and suffering.

I am joining Barrio Siete’s campaign by posting a yellow ribbon on this blog as my way of support. Politics aside, Cory Aquino is a mother and if I were in the place of Kris Aquino or her siblings, I will be deeply crushed to see my mother undergoing this ordeal. With this, I’m also inviting other bloggers to join and Tie a Yellow Ribbon for Cory Aquino.

Updated version of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009

I already made my Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 weeks ago, but one entry was disqualified because I overlooked Jehan’s blog. She started blogging on March 2008, 2 months ahead of the qualifications to be able to included in the list. My apologies to Jehan, I felt guilty after reading her “Thank you post” but I’m still a fan of her writing. She already is influential, especially to her Korean-based blog community.

To complete my list, the talented doctor-slash-poet Doc Z of Zorlone enters the Top 10. I’ve known Doc Z and his blog through a small plurk conversation and now we’re plurk buddies. Had I discovered his poetry for a longer time, I’m pretty sure he’s already included on my first Top 10. He is influential indeed, he’s backed up by two influential bloggers on my list too, Kuya Roy of The Struggling Blogger and Jan of Writing to Exhale. Here’s what they have to say:
