ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 3 Feb 13

The gall on some people! When someone is doing you a favor, you better treat them with respect! Duh! Favor...FREE! So don't be acting so bossy and all as if you're paying for the work being done!

Why do the good die young?

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 24 Jan 13

This has been the incessant question that follows every time someone dies (especially if that someone is perceived to be a good person). Is it just coincidence or is this a logical consequence of being good? God forbid it's the...

Remaining on Top

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 19 Jan 13

They say that the problem of being on top is remaining there. Very true especially if you don't have the right mindset to keep the position. Often times, those on top tend to slack off and assume that their peak would provide...

Don't wear short dresses if can't handle the attention.

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 6 Jan 13

I'm irritated to see ladies wearing short dresses and then being overly protective of being stared at. Why wear a provocative dress if you can't handle the attention?

Do you like firecrackers?

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 30 Dec 12

After seeing a lot of people blow their hands off handling firecrackers on New Year's day, I don't think it's a good prospect to start the New Year missing a couple of appendages. Besides that is I have asthma and the firecracker...

No Blood Tears for Elena?

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 28 Dec 12

I was watching episode 2 of Season 4 of the Vampire Diaries and I noticed something odd about it. Elena is now a vampire and when they cry they have blood tears (at least in this vampire version). However, in one scene when Elena...

NFL Week 15: 49ers vs Patriots

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 17 Dec 12

Did you watch the game between the 49ers and the Patriots? When I got to tune in late in the 3rd quarter, the 49ers were leading 31-3. I told myself that this is a rout! Brady was not his usual productive self with no TDs and...

Giving to Christmas Carolers

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 16 Dec 12

With the start of Simbang Gabi also marked the start of Christmas carolers doing their house to house serenade. Some people find it irritating and brand it an outright disturbance and would shoo them away like the incessant fly. I...

Are you PRO or ANTI RH Bill?

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 13 Dec 12

As the RH Bill passes the second reading in Congress, the Catholic Church has been on the war path to sway their constituents to rally against it. A friend of mine told me that when he went to mass last Sunday, their parish priest...

Dexter Season 8: Episode 11 update

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 12 Dec 12

Did Hannah really try to poison Debra? I think Debra staged it to get Dexter's sympathy and turn him against Hannah. What do you think?

Alex Smith or Colin Kaepernick

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 10 Dec 12

While it is true that Alex Smith was the long time starting QB of the San Francisco 49ers his plays does not show the same versatility of 2nd year QB Colin Kaepernick who has been the starting QB for the last 4 games. The 49ers...

Is this the end of the road for Manny Pacquiao?

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 10 Dec 12

After that devastating loss to Juan Manuel Marquez, will Manny Pacquiao be able to rise up again? Personally, Marquez's win over Pacquiao last weekend negated all the previous fights that Manny won mainly because of the more...

Leadership and Accountability

ccmacarayan @ccmacarayan (188) • Philippines 9 Dec 12

However way you put it, the position of LEADERSHIP will always be married to ACCOUNTABILITY. I'm saddened that many bosses don't get this fact. Any issue with your subordinate comes back to you. You can't pass the buck to anyone...
