I was recently browsing the web to check the price of my motherboard, when I found something surprising. I purchased my Intel DG965WHMKR motherboard for Php 6,500.00 back in May 2005, and as I was checking the prices I found out that the average price for this motherboard is currently and possibly for the year 2009 would be at Php 6,100.00 and that price is for outside the Philippines.

Kadayawan! It is that time of year when Davaoenos give thanks to a bountiful harvest. My friends and I also have a way of thanking by opening up a new business venture in the barbecue business but with cheaper and and BIG sized barbecues. It’s called AHIA BAGS BARBECUE GRILL. This is my first business venture and I have to say it has been quite hard planning it and we have been having a lot of arguments over the said business and so it is indeed true that friendships will always not come first but purely business.

Here is a diagram of the event:... Click here to read more
