Awake from a hectic Christmas Eve, meeting up with friends, meeting up with family, attending mass, and spending the opening minutes of Christmas with loved ones. I’m blessed, I know, and I can only be thankful for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon me.
But you know, I feel a deep [...]
Happy New Year to one and all! 2008 is almost over and The Philippines and The Filipino people has withstood yet another tumultuous and very interesting year. I don’t do year end reports too well, because frankly, I’m always too busy at the end of the year to make such a report.
But, I [...]
In these times where many things are uncertain, a few things will always be certain, that happiness will always be ours to decide, and that this happiness often comes from following our hearts, our passion, and from the love of friends and family. Truly, the tangible riches of men pale in comparison to [...]
The Philippine Blog Awards is here, it has come, it has arrived. Mark your calendars, September 21 is D day.
And one award that has distinguished itself from all the rest, is indeed, The Bloggers’ Choice Award, because it all hinges on the blogging community, our peers, our colleagues, and our friends. For [...]
After much debate, mostly with myself, and a promise that I had to keep, here is a photo of me, Nick, writer of Tingog.com, The Editor not Chief of Filipino Voices. As I said in a previous entry, I’m 27 years old, yet if it’s any consolation, since many have been shocked at just [...]
Alright, since this is my personal blog, I thought that I would share a tidbit about myself that I eventually had to spill because I was harassed by a few dozen individuals the other day. My age, which is 27 years old.
I never planned on even informing anyone about my age, because honestly, I [...]
Quick notice to all. Birthday of Manuel Quezon III today! May he have more birthdays to come.. More blogging days to come, more live blogging days to come, more twits to twit, more emails to mail, and more analysis for everyone to read.. A Daily Dose of Manolo always makes everyone happy.
This anonymous blogging thing, doesn’t work for me sometimes. I like the freedom that I have when it comes to not having to divulge my actual identity, but sometimes, it is a hindrance towards actually developing a connection with my readers. As I started Tingog.com, my main focus was not on myself, but [...]
I will formally change the subtitle of this blog. It is a one word change, but I believe it is consistent with what is happening. Tingog.com was to be The Voice of The Filipino, but I have decided to make this blog more of a personal blog, as I have chosen to pursue [...]
The silence was all too much for me, but I can finally say with full enthusiasm that Filipino Voices is online. The new collaborative blog focused on politics, government, and social commentary. In the spirit of unity, providing a multitude of voices, on multitude of issues facing our nation today.
It’s been a long [...]
It’s been a project in the making, and it’s finally becoming reality. I can’t tell everyone what it is at the moment, but in two weeks the announcement will be worth the wait.
This is the reason for the lack in post for the past few days. And that contest? That contest I [...]
There is a call for all Filipinos, a call of sacrifice. Whether it is during Holy Week, or any other week of the year, we know that our nation can only grow stronger if each one of us contributes to the common good. Contributing without taking selfishly, and taking only the portion amount [...]
The title above is a bit dramatic, and I could probably tell you all the horror stories known to man. But I won’t. Tingog.com is not really about me, and as with these past few months, it looks as though that Tingog.com has lost it’s voice.
I’m at fault. And without going into [...]
Hello. Hmm. It seems like Nick is on a hiatus. But anyway, guys, as you comment on the Malu Fernandez and other issues, please do bear in mind that Nick, me, and everyone else at Tingog.com are actually just messengers. We are aware that we all are irritated with the situations that beset our country [...]
It seems like only yesterday, the first blog post at Tingog.com was written, and we took to cyberspace in the hopes of Changing The Philippines. This date, September 1, 2006, exactly one year ago, we started with a goal in mind, and that was to make a difference. We’ve had our ups and [...]
