Also for not having a ‘passionate person profile’ up yet (that one I hope to remedy by next week; title for the feature included in things to fix).
Knee deep in researching and analyzing how to...

A Call for Passionate People
Hello, dear readers. Part of regularly and more thoughtfully updating this tumblr, I would like to interview (via email exchange or g-chat) “ordinary” Filipinos/Filipinas who are passionate about what they do, whether it’s their day job or otherwise. Musicians, executive assistants, event planners/coordinators, HR managers/recruiters, historians, writers, academics, engineers,...

A Random Assortment of Goodies
To usher in 2012, here are five things from/about/in the Philippines that make me smile.

I know I don’t really repost much on Tumblr, and rarely if ever bother to write something of my own, but I’ve been marinating on a few thoughts partly in response to (but long brewing beforehand) a recent API students town hall held on campus a few days ago.
