Learning to Write Growing up in in a very rural area had its drawbacks and advantages. We had no running water and only a small plot of farmland. But my parents were (and remain) hard workers and taught me the value of an education. I became fluent in English and my parents encouraged me to write. I began writing comments on various online newspapers in the Philippines, critically reading the article and making an appropriate response. It was this process that trained my eye…
Miss Fancy Pants Can't Dance The Tik Tok phenomenon is an undisputed success around the world. Like everything else in life, as far as social media is concerned, only a very small percentage of people are successful to the extent that they have amassed a modicum of wealth from the popular site. The rest of Tik Tok users are your typical run of the mill video creators with a relatively small following. As a consequence, those who are seeking fame and fortune in the latter…
Bill Gates: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Bill Gates is undoubtably smart and crafty (not to mention extremely rich and powerful). He and his soon to be ex-wife, Melinda have done a lot of good for the world, but I submit to you he is a true wolf in sheep's clothing. Evil to the core. And things are getting worse during the pandemic. Sure, Gates has given away tons of money, but one should research where some of it has gone. For example, ever get one of your posts on Facebook…
Spam, Scams and Counterfeit Products Greed. Some people are inclined to do anything to earn easy money by spamming, scamming or selling fake products. On the other hand, some people are willing victims since they believe they are getting a good deal on a product or believe that a rich relative left them a fortune in a Nigerian escrow account. Spam consists of unsolicited invitations to click on links in your email(s) or in a comment thread. Gmail pretty much weeds these out,…
The Roman Road of Salvation Since there is considerable confusion regarding what we must do to be saved, it was put on my heart to explain the road to salvation. Many wrongly believe that God's word is rife with contradictions. Scholars have proven otherwise. But it is now necessary that we look upon God the Father's heart regarding the matter of salvation, my friends, for God cannot lie. "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he…
The Art of Writing University Essays Most of those who have a high school diploma have already had the experience of writing various types of essays: argumentative, compare/contrast, research, review of literature and more. Writing essays is an art. Like any other talent, the more one writes and understands various formats such as MLA, APA and Chicago styles, the more one's talent will increase. As we all know (or should know) the university essay is rather straightforward.…
The Perils of Going Woke We've all been exposed to the quote "Go woke, go broke." This pithy saying is proving to be especially true, but sadly, many individuals are unaware of the dangers of going woke and becoming social justice warriors (SJW's). Many of the major corporations such as Disney, Netflix, the NBA, Coca-Cola, Proctor & Gamble, Starbucks, Gillette and many more have felt the economic impact of corporate activism. They are losing money faster than governments can…
The Dangers of Printing Fiat Currency, Inflation and the Need for BCH When governments seek to jumpstart an economy in the midst of a recession, like now as a result of the "plandemic," they print money out of thin air. This is because they have no assets to back the paper "money." Money issued is based on a value that we accept to be valuable. But the continuous printing of money is dangerous, as it leads to inflation, devaluation and a move towards the collapse of a…
Principles of Money Management The ongoing pandemic has pummeled world economies, shuttering businesses and wreaking havoc on those who were formerly employed. As a result, many have lost their homes, their savings and the ability to provide for their essential needs. Those who are fortunate to still have employment should practice basic principles of money management to survive the future. Personally, I have observed a significant decrease in income from my writing…
All Things Crypto: Inflation, Rising World Debt, and Elon Musk's Reversals It's been a couple of tough weeks for crypto. All was proceeding quite well until a trio of events occurred simultaneously: a rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and hence inflation; mounting world debt concerns; and Elon Musk's reversals on #Doge and #Bitcoin. But don't panic yet, **good news is ahead**! All of the above-mentioned sent most cryptocurrencies into a veritable nosedive. But I remain…
Modern Feminism, Women's Empowerment, and God's Word Many people have little to no clue clue regarding the difference between modern feminism and the empowerment of women. True, the two are loosely associated, but vastly different, especially when under the scope of God's word in the Holy Bible, our basic instruction before leaving Earth. Early Feminism Early feminism was radical and fostered in an era of rebellion that has been exacerbated by contemporary feminists. One of…
How the Lies about Bitcoin Negatively Affect Bitcoin Cash Lies from Elon Musk and climate change advocates have negatively impacted the #crypto world. We are observing a bear market in crypto, but it will not last long , because when people wake up to the disinformation being spread by those who wish to remain in power and keep the common man and woman in their place, we will witness a bull run anew. Patience and knowledge are key. We all know **Musk is a hypocrite**. He…
The Whales Sold a Panic The Whales of cryptocurrency sold both small and relatively large investors a panic and reaped a fortune. The crypto markets will likely be in a state of flux for some time. Right now most cryptos have lost up to 54% of their value, such as #Bitcoin. Personally, I lost around 49% of my crypto but I refuse to panic. The last time we saw a dump of this magnitude was around 2013. The crypto markets are subjective and timing is everything if you seek to…
The Necessity and Power of Prayer First of all, we know from experience that prayer draws us closer to God and enhances our personal relationship with the Creator. No, **we were not formed through the evolutionary process**, as some have been wrongly taught. Let us set aside that humanistic thinking. While humanity's wisdom had created comfort through technology, science and the arts, these facets of humankind have resulted in complexity. Life is moving at breakneck speeds…
Ponder these Things to Avoid Worry and Harmful Thinking Some of us are worrying about what we will eat and how we will survive during these uncertain times. But I submit to you that worrying gets us nowhere. It's like rocking in a chair - how far do you go? There are 6 things we should ponder in life to make our daily living in a rapidly deteriorating world more palatable. Truth Truth matters and is not subjective. Our ability to discern the times informs us that we live in…
DepEd, Modules, and Why I Homeschool Issac Asimov, the literary giant of Sci-Fi, once quipped: "**Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.**" As I write, a plethora of parents are thoroughly disgusted with the Department of Education (DepEd) in the #Philippines. Unable to send their children to in-person classes, they are compelled to have them "learn from home,"and I readily use that term quite loosely. Many kids have disappeared out of the…
PayPal and Cryptocurrencies Do you have #PayPal? Approximately every two months, PayPal makes changes to its international payment platform. As of yesterday, PayPal executive Jose Fernandez da Ponte announced during day 3 of **Consensus 2021** that the payments leader will soon allow "users [to] withdraw cryptocurrency to third-party wallets." If you have PayPal, you already know you can buy crypto through PayPal. The panel was quite interesting (and was free to watch). You…
