Jouver wins Open Mic UK Regionals

As much as I appreciate the pure talent of a dynamic singing voice, I was never a fan of singing contests and other talent-search counterparts. However, yesterday, when we watched Jouver Nagano sing in the Open Mic UK, I found myself between nervousness and awe. Jouver or simply JB is our band vocalist here in UK, not to mention a very good friend. He made it to the Area finals which will be held on Dec. 11 at Dewsbury, UK. Aside from his singing prowess, he needs our votes to win.

Free Man

Happy birthday Francis M. There are so many good things to say about who you are as an idol, an ordinary person, a patient, and a friend. But somehow, in the vast pool of words, I realized they will never be enough to describe you.

We miss you. I find comfort in believing that you have found the peace that we can never find here in this life.

Kris is a man of sincere humility and profound integrity. He is your man.

Proactive Even if Far Away

As I was following the #harapan thread on Twitter, I noticed that OFWs also want to be involved in the upcoming National Elections. It is really nice because as an OFW myself, being updated to current issues feels closer to home.

I hate it when some Filipinos think that our country is hopeless. I also hate it when the Pinoys residing in the Philippines hesitate to play an active role in improving our country. Sometimes, I think the OFWs are more active in making their voices heard, especially with regards to our Mother Land.

I hope that my countrymen will choose a leader that could really push our beloved Philippines forward. If they only know that we OFWs would give up everything anytime just to be at home.
