It’s Fun to be Fun! On Becoming, Places, and the New Philippine Tourism Slogan



We are responsible in making our identity

It’s the people that make the place…

I totally forgot where I first heard this but after watching DOT Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr. last night explain about the new tourism slogan, this phrase popped in my head.

Possibly Maybe Unexpectedly: ON TO 2012—THANK YOU 2011!

Possibly Maybe Unexpectedly: ON TO 2012—THANK YOU 2011!

ON TO 2012—THANK YOU 2011!

Let's meet the 2012 with happiness in our hearts!


I don’t want to end 2011 without my year-end post, especially since I didn’t get to write a blog post last Christmas due to the power interruptions. But since that has passed and the present is more important, here I am, writing what I call my leap-of-faith article.

Learn the Art of Letting Go and Making Room for Something Wonderful

Let go of yourself....

I just got done sorting out my clothes and throwing away old class notes to lessen clutter. Although I also did this last December of 2010, I have to admit that it was only recently that I fully embraced and appreciated the art of “letting-go”. Good bye old clothes and shoes. Farewell collegiate notes. And soon I’ll be saying “so long” my beloved books. At present, as I write this blog, I am already done planning the shopping I’ll be doing this December – getting me a good pair of dressy shoes.

Karma is Just around the Corner: Better Be Good to Yourself


Learn to see greatness in every situation

My Facebook home wall (not my profile wall) was recently bombarded by so many issues about karma from friends (well okay so I also posted one too just yesterday). Two of my friends posted how people who did them wrong was getting the bad karma they deserve. Some friends posted quotes on karma. Others simply posted the pain they felt after karma got back at them (regarding romantic relationships) and was making them depressed. Among all the post that was there, one post stood out as this friend started it with Karma is just around the corner….

Baby Steps to Greatness: Start by Making Good Habits


It's the things you do today that make-up your future


My uncle once gave the most important tip in studying effectively: read and understand the book from cover to cover “literally”. Whether it’s the copyright’s page, the index, the table of contents, the edition, or just the testimonials, reading these can greatly help in assimilating the lessons the author wrote in his book. He told me this after quizzing me with what I was reading – an Engineering book which I was surprised to see he understood more even if his profession was lined up in political science (take note he just read it then and there). It was then that I saw what was wrong with my study habits (particularly my reading). I love to read and did very well in class; but I could have performed even better.
