Does SOPA & PIPA hinder creativity and innovation?
Last week, various websites blocked off their content to protest the SOPA and PIPA bills - I’m sure you’ve all heard about it at this point.
This video offers an alternative perspective on the matter. Will these bills encourage American creativity and innovation? Will increased intellectual property protection in the Internet, which has no formal governance, actually impact jobs in...

On #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines: A...
I left the Philippines behind in 2004 and I embraced the unique Canadian culture and loved the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. However, leaving my childhood home meant that I had friends left behind and I am forever grateful for the existence of social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter) so I can keep in touch with everyone I miss back there.
And this past month, while taking a Block Week course on...

On beating adversity: you're your own solution.
Sometimes, life doesn’t work out the way you want it to.
When you put aside comedic effects, mainstream movies don’t normally teach life lessons, but this one really resonated with me despite the fact that I wash my hair quite frequently.

Is it creepy that I know...

Commentary on O.B. Triple Sorry - Genius Marketing... →
This takes “personalization” on a whole new level. By typing in your name at the beginning, a thoughtful goodlooking guy sings a “personalized” song and personifying all the stereotypical things women want - from over-the-top apologies which include (but are not limited to) an apologetic tattoo, your name in the sky. It also addresses women’s psychological needs such...

That moment when I realize that the first senior...
This weekend, I got some major stuff done. I finally got my class 5 licence and bought my first car, Iris. With graduation and my Canadian citizenship on the immediate future, it seems I’m on the right track. I just need to get my career started and I fit the female, early 20, post-secondary education demographic. But I know that even if you’re on the right track, if you stop moving -...

First of many posts.
Hopefully.
A snapshot of who I am is shown in the sidebar (one might say my demographic profile is posted there.) - I’m 20, a Marketing student in the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary, complimented with a headshot of me buried in my Consumer Behaviour textbook. I’m of Filipino descent, having moved to Canada when I was 13, which provides a (what I’d like...
