It Has Been Twenty-Ten

Two thousand and ten.
Dalawang libo't sampu
Dos mil dies

Twenty Ten.

The year that was became a symbol of my re-thinking my concept of innovation. As doors closed, others opened for me. And why has it become a year of innovation?

It was a year to make more time to rethink my life as a Dabawenyo, an Iskolar ng Mindanao.

It was a year of knowing the truth - Because Truth Matters. (TM)

It was a year to re-imagine my expressions.

It was a year to make new ways to cover the news.

And that truly was innovation.


I hope 2011 will be better.
