Dandy Victa and I met during one of Freelance Blend Manila's meetup events sometime in January of this year at the Cucina Andare, the weekend market outside Glorietta Center in Makati City. I remember us ordering the same German sausage (it was so good) from this food stall and that's when we first chatted. He told me he was able to listen to ... [Continue Reading]
FBP 014: From Non-Athlete To Running Maven – Jaymie Pizarro of TheBullRunner.com
Running. It's something that I've always really wanted to do, but somehow couldn't get myself to. I play basketball once a week and suspension training about twice a week. Those activities need a bit more preparation but still, I am able to get myself to do it. With running - one of the easiest sports in the planet to get into - somehow, I ... [Continue Reading]

I posted last time about the successful 2014 Freelancer Career Kick-off event sponsored by Elance Philippines where I mentioned that lady luck was on my side that day because I won a free training course from Online Jobs University that was worth P4,500!

1 and a half hours of bliss. That is what it felt like interviewing Martine de Luna of MakeItBlissful.com (formerly DaintyMom.com) and MartineDeLuna.com.

FBP 006: From Avid Listener to Radio Star with Showbiz Bro of Magic 89.9’s “Good Times with Mo Twister”
My daily commute to work is not complete without listening to the wackiest, craziest, sexiest and most controversial show on FM radio, Magic 89.9's "Good Times with Mo" (or has it been renamed to "Morning Show"?). And I am so glad that the show is back after being suspended for 6 long months. (On a side note, that is the reason why I got hooked ... [Continue Reading]
