God, Happiness and Life

My cousin posted this most recent, I guess, photo of my grandparents on my father's side. My grandma Inang as we call her hails from Bulacan and my grandpa, Tatang as we refer to him is from Nueva Ecija. My Titos and Titas look more like they descended from the Chinese or Japanese race, essentially because of the chinkiness of the eyes. But my father though looks more like my grandma. Feliza Fernandez Domingo and Jose Mendiola Domingo I remember my Lola as soft spoken woman. Always slow and soft in the things that she wishes to say. My grandfather's style is ultra different. He seems to be always having a bad day and possess a nasty habit of cursing in the vernacular :-) On my father's side of the clan, the men have MORE say in what goes on in the family.

Two days before the first day of December, my grand daughter comes for a visit .

With the massive proliferation of internet use, people are starting to think that the world is not the same without web access 24x7. It is the 'now' world with  all the encompassing  gadgetry in tow. And talk about gadgets, surely we all know that mobiles will be the standard access device to the web. It is not without good reason. Mobile devices are the ubiquitous or preferred mode of communication because it can be brought anywhere. It is small , possessing the power of a laptop, tablet or even perhaps, the desktop. My son labors and is passionate about  online gaming. He is into  developing and enhancing game sites including his own,  which essentially are patterned after the better known MMROPGs.  I could not count the times I hinted to him about developing a  mobile website   of his game, exactly for the reason  I said,  that mobiles will be the device of the future. And yes, he says, he's been thinking about it for the longest time. I told him that I
