Nep's Journal

Day trip to Clifton Lake! These may look like rocks, but they’re actually living, breathing thrombolites — built by microorganisms that have been around for billions of years.

Two hundred years from now, nobody's going to remember you—unless, of course, you manage to do something epic that changes the world.

Maybe a few great-grandkids will keep your name in the family tree, but let's face it: we're all destined to be forgotten.

So why wait? Live your best life, make memories that matter to *you*, and take them to the grave. Because in the grand scheme of things, no one else is going to care!

September is a month that brings to mind various significant events, with 9/11 being a prominent one. When I was in grade school, the Prayer of Peace was introduced to us after the attacks on September 11. We recited that prayer daily and I memorized it, though I have since forgotten it.

Over the years, humanity has endured numerous human rights abuses, including the Rohingya genocide, the war in Ukraine, and the recent crises in Gaza. The Philippines has also faced its share of tragedies, such as the Mamasapano incident and the SAF 44.

I wonder why we don't have a national prayer to address these human rights abuses. A simple prayer to condemn such events, akin to the one we used for the 9/11 victims, might be meaningful. Was our heightened sense of prayerfulness for 9/11 related to its impact on the US, leading us to give less importance to other tragedies?

To keep your mind at ease, not knowing all is the key to peace.

Dear colleagues in the accounting profession, I have come across many posts about accreditations and passing exams like yung mga certified tax tax eme eme na yan!

Please remember that if an accreditation is only recognized by the issuing body and not by any government authority or relevant industry, it is essentially a scam.

It’s unfortunate to see people celebrating their success in passing such exams to obtain a so-called license, when in reality, they have been deceived.

I thik the most prudent course of action for the Philippine government concerning Pastor Quiboloy is to approve the FBI's request for his extradition to the United States. He should be allowed to face his charges there.

This would not only save resources for the Philippines, but also enable the PNP and other agencies to focus on more pressing matters.
