Hi Abe,

At least now I know how to comment to blog entries. Hehehe. We will work on our pet project soon. Perhaps another Mexicali discussion and then will start blogging.

Ingats,
Yangma

i think, you’re following the steps of john chow and darren. I wish you can also share half of your blog’s income to charity just like what the said bloggers did.

Yuga,
On the contrary, you are a mediator and arbitrator rolled into one.

In a conflict resolution, a disinterested party is needed to be able to come up with an agreement that would be acceptable to both sides.

I have always done that in conflict management where I usually find it difficult to make ladies shake hands. Men tend to keep civil to each other pero nagbabaga naman ang mga mata.

In cases where two feuding people were stubborn, I had something ready for them.

Gloves for the men. Sige magbuntalan kayo. Kung masyadong galit, I asked them if they need swords so I can order from Spain.

And for the ladies, suklay, pagkatapos kong bigyan ng go signal na magsabunutan, kung talagang ayaw magbati, binibigyan ko ng suklay.

So don’t worry yuga, in my book, you are not nosey.
(that’s how I want it spelled, mind you).Pakialamero lang…hehehe ….para sa ikagagaling.

i commend you sir for your good intentions.although i digress that nosy is too much of a harsh word to use, i was wondering what you would have done if the blogger kid turned out to be fraudulent, or that he was being forced by his father into maintaining the blog? Would you have called the cops, reported their abuse or give them a stern lecture on blogging ethics.

You yourself stated that you asked both father and son some questions between bathroom breaks, which baffles me, why couldn’t you ask them straight out while both were present.

in fact, you did say that you came not to size up carlo but his dad.that was pretty brave of you. but one thing is for sure though, you went to meet with them to confirm your doubt and that shows with your wanting to size up carlo’s dad and not him.

In some Rizal movie, Cesar Montano says (in reaction to the ruffled feathers of the frailes): “Eh di magsulat sila.” (Let them write.)

And no, you were not being nosy.

You were being charitable.

Oh yeah, babe. I’ll go to my grave (probably some place in Bukidnon) trying to carve out a space here in the Phils. for open source consulting … now if I can just figure out what it is …
