Internet Society Online Course

I am finally done with my Internet Society online course.  I would like to thank my moderator Biljana Gilsovic Milic and the Internet Society for giving me this 2015 Shaping the Internet - History and Futures Asia Mini-Course (Delta).  I learned a lot from this course especially interoperability, internet governance, invariants, and many more.  Hopefully, I will be given opportunity to study more.

Guess Who I Found Last Christmas?

🎄From Holiday Cheer to Hardwood Legend — A Surprise in Navotas!

We were simply on a family visit to our relatives in Tanza, Navotas—a classic Filipino weekend: good food, loud laughter, and catching up with titas, titos, and cousins you only see once in a blue moon.

The vibe felt a bit like Christmas, even if Santa wasn’t anywhere in sight.

But guess what?

I didn’t find Santa Claus... I found someone taller. 😄

Standing head and shoulders above the rest—literally—was none other than Marlou Aquino, one of the Philippines’ greatest basketball players of all time!

Yes, The Skyscraper himself.

That moment felt unreal—like seeing your childhood basketball card walk right past you in flesh and blood!

From barangay court legends to PBA icons, Marlou Aquino’s name is etched in hoops history. And there he was—casual, unassuming, and still a towering presence in every sense of the word.

Proof that sometimes, the best surprises don’t come wrapped in red and gold—they stand 6’9”, wear slippers, and have a smile that could light up a whole barangay..
