A Collection of Thoughts by the End of the Year

"Learning how to be alone is a skill everyone should learn, and they are in the midst of their lesson now. Give them space. --I to myself""

"For every reason to frown, there's a lot more reason to smile."

"You don't really know the importance of what you got right now until it is GONE."

"I'll just enjoy the current status, never mind that damn feeling before I fall into deep shit...very impossible..."

"In the end, others will go but your family will always be there."

"Sometimes we have to consider discipline and control, sad to say I'm not that influential."

"Be mature and take life into a different perspective."

"There are things that don't stay what they used to be, and nothing lasts for a lifetime."

FROM THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN:

"Hatred is a curved blade, the harm we do, we do it to ourselves."

"No life is a waste, the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."

"That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."

Christmas wasn't that bad after all

This christmas had been a busy day for me. First we had to go to our lola's house at Caloocan to celebrate Xmas with relatives. My day wouldn't be fully complete if it wasn't for a special Christmas greeting from a "Bloody Special Friend".

After a few shots of brandy from my grandfather, i had to say goodbye to them for I still have to meet my highschool friends. We are going to go to the hospital to visit a friend who recently gave birth to her daughter this Christmas Day. Congratulations to them.

After the visit, we decided to go to SM and eat at Yellow Cab. We spent time there 'til past 9.I had a good time with them and I'm glad that after several years of absence, everything is still the same. After the jeepney ride home, we just decided to walk instead of riding the trike... bonding moment again.Thanks to them!

My thought for the day:

"For every reason to frown, there's a lot more reason to smile!" =)

Crossroads

Sad to say that for the next term, things will be a lot more different. Another important turning point in my life wherein I'll have to go to my EMG path... It feels sad cause I'll spend less time with my IE buddies. I just hope that nothing's gonna change despite the time constraints.

This past term had been very great for me, a sudden shift in who I am and some of my philosophies in life. I could say that I made the best of time this past term and learned a lot in how I view life now.

For my friends. thanks a lot! You know who you are, (hehe) Good Luck to us for this coming term and again, I hope nothing's gonna change. =)

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist,

directs you where to go

So make the best of this test,

and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

Turbulent Times (My first blog not related to SPM)

When I am into something, I commit myself deeply into it, especially when it comes to friendship or any other type of relationship. But how would you feel if all of what you’ve done and shown were just taken for granted? (Emo time again…ouch)

I will never forget that 3AM in my life wherein I am left doing that job all alone. “It’s like you’re all alone in a sinking boat struggling hard to reach the shore.” I don’t know what I would really feel at that time, basta ewan. I just did the project may maipasa lang bukas, bahala na, bagsak kung bagsak.

The Last Lesson

This entry is all about our last lecture day with spm. We started it with a prayer and it’s sad to say that time went out so fast that this subject is over. Hope I won’t take this same subject next term but I really like to have more of it.

We started the class with a prayer led by Prof. Fantillo. The lecture was focused mainly on leadership. Here are some of the thoughts that remained intact in my mind:

“In a leader-subordinate relationship they must embrace change for the reason that they have the same goal and mission.”

“If you are given more work, it’s also a reward for a job well done. After doing it, you’ll know that you’re a better person.”

“A leader brings a man’s vision to a higher sight…”

“He multiplies the performance capacity, whatever strength, health and aspiration they have”

“A leader is someone who has followers, they set example, it is not rank privilege, titles, or money… it is responsibility.”

“Leaders keep their eye on task, not on themselves, the task matters and they are just servants.”

Endowed by the Spirit

The last time we had a discussion, we talked about Building an Organization Capable of Good Strategy Execution, and sir discussed some quotes to support the topic. Some point that struck me was as follows:

“Doing what you really wanted to be more productive”- yeah, this one is right, whenever you’re given a task, no matter how hard it is, if you like what you are doing, you will be successful with it.

"Unite total Organization behind Strategy”- no matter how great the strategy that the management has planned for the company, if all members were not inclined with the same goal as the management, then that strategy would be useless. It will not be successfully implemented without the support of everyone in the organization.

“How do we generate commitment from others, especially if you are in a group or in a relationship?” – I think this one is the highlight of the lecture. It affected me the most since it’s applicable to the present situation. How do we really generate commitment in a relationship? My answer to that when sir asks me was: “You have to show that you are seriously immersed into that kind of mutual relationship.” You have to show your enthusiasm and the spirit to the persons you are “in with”. [SIDE COMMENT: I have given my full commitment but sad to say you did not, so selfish, self-centered and insensitive. -bitter? Hehe]

Communication is very critical here; we must learn how to deal with different types of people especially when we are already in the real world or working in the industry.

"Through all things difficult commitment is where our strength lies".
