It is a weekend once again. I have a lot of deadlines to beat (as usual). But one thing better about today than any other day while I am here at our head office, is the fact that I get to play badminton today. Yey!

Our environment generally shapes who we are. The culture we have been borne into would somehow dictate how we should act, and it is there that we define what is within the bounds of ‘normal’ and what is not.
Just recently, Frank, a friend of mine and someone who I am constantly in contact with in the conduct of my job had welcomed a new addition to his family, a bouncing baby girl.
I don’t know about the cultures from other countries, but it is not common practice here in the Philippines for new dads to hand out Davidoff cigars, as was suddenly the case when another friend, Jay, began chiding him to hand out cigars, in celebration of this welcome development. Of course, another important aspect to consider would be that Frank is Chinese, and Jay is an American. Perhaps where they come from, this is perfectly the norm.

Recently, in the place where we stay, which is being provided by our company, my companions and I have noticed that the mosquitos were increasing in numbers and was making it really uncomfortable to sleep at night, especially if your blanket falls off while you are deep in slumber.
To address this, one of my companions sprayed mosquito repellent. He sprayed too much of it in fact that after he did so, we had to face the possibility that we had to stay out of our room for the night as the mosquito repellent’s stench was too strong for our senses. We ended up opening the door of our room to let the stench out since we did not have any other means of home ventilation.
If the problem still doesn’t get solved, I am suggesting we buy an electric mosquito killer instead.
