1. Driving under the influence of alcohol isn’t a good practice for professional drivers.
Nowadays, professional drivers who always find themselves partying till midnight will drive
home drunk. Because they are very eager to go home, they will insist that they can drive. After
some moments of driving, they will feel sleepy and eventually, they will be vulnerable to
accidents and worse, even death. Therefore, it may be a cliché to say but still it is better not to
drink and drive!

2. “It’s summertime! No doubt, people are dreaming of the ideal vacation: walking leisurely
along the beach, or filling one’s lungs with fresh mountain air; waking up in the morning without
being harassed by a list of things to do, or whiling away the hours without guilt or regret. For
those with money to spend, the ideal vacation means endless shopping, touring, or partying.
For people who are cash-strapped, vacation means staying at home, relishing the company of
loved ones, watching TV, reading a book, or rearranging the furniture. For those bent on

improving spiritual life, vacation means the time for retreats, recollections, or more intense
personal prayers.”

-NONE

3. Are you in love? Don’t have enough confidence to tell your feelings to someone special to
you? Want to say sorry? Just want to request a song? Want to say thank you? Or you just want
to say hello to your friends? Well, that is not a problem. Speaker’s bureau dedication booth is
here. Let your message accompanied with your favorite song be heard dedicated to your
special someone!

-NONE

4. “I recall that even before I learned how to write my name, I was already into drawing. First,
my mother would tell me that she doesn’t know how I learned to draw, every time I ask her. But
she remembers that my joy then was to scribble anything that would smear itself on any
surface. That meant pencils, chalks, pen, crayons, coloring pencils, even adobe stones and
charcoals. Second, I remember too that every time I used these instruments on the wall, paper,
floor, fence or pavement, I would always be stopped, scolded, spanked, reprimanded or at the
very least, cautioned. But I did really love to see those smear tools do their dirtying job under
the whim and every movement of my hand. That, I call drawing.”

-NONE

5. We have a future in the present generation of Filipino “techies” in computer technology. If

their talents are further refined, their creative aptitude can be extracted for productive, not
destructive uses. Technology can either improve lives or ruin them. Recently, a bunch of kids
flew back home with a plum prize for winning a computer game software development contest.
They make us proud of their talents as home-grown success in computer science. But
remember, it was also a Filipino who introduced the home made “I love you” virus that virtually
destroyed many business and government files of information around the globe which
negatively affected their basic operations. Should we be proud of him?
