Joseph's Republic

An ordinary guy who loves to move around a lot Joseph Vizcarra, (that's me), is at home practically anywhere (well except for a few hell holes I happen to find myself once in a while in quest of coffee money).

Currently based in Manila as a knowledge worker, Joseph successfully crashed his way through the fields of news media, marketing communication and institutional advocacy. These days he work as a senior technical expert in a government corporation but remains true to his freelance work ethic, (at least just to keep me from getting burned out again and again..).

Offline, he dabbles in everything that deals with entrepreneurship, management, corporate planning and human development. (Online, however, sky's the limit!)

He lives a quiet life (well, almost) somewhere in the Metro with his wife, three lovely kids (ooopps! make that four..), two pensive cats and a big, all-black and all-clumsy Dalmatian. And yes, Joseph's a regular weekender at Apalit town in Pampanga, where he finds nourishment for his soul listening to his all-time favorite bible preacher in the whole world.

In the Bible, TIME & CHANCE was described in the same vein as a happening or event that carries with it the gravity of fate. Its almost equated as all the fortunes and misfortunes apportioned to each and every man and woman who ever walks the earth.

In Ecclesiastes 9:11 we read...
I find it particularyly interesting because it challeneges the dominant western logic of cause and effect The western mind casually think of history, biography and the human condition in general in mechanistic terms. There was simply no room for divine intervention nor divine ordinance. Then we wonder why despite the promising technological accomplishments of the last fifty years or so, history keeps repeating itself.

Was Ecclesiastes right all along? Are we living in a universe ruled by a counter-intuitive physics called by King Solomon as TIME & CHANCE ?
