"PAY LESS ATTENTION..."

When I do something or say something I always think of how other people will say or react to it. Maybe I am afraid of what people may say about me. Yes, I pay much attention to what they say. This is the reason why I can't do something that I really want to do. There are times that I feel bolder do and say some stupid things but you can count it in your fingers. I was so afraid to hurt other feelings and emotions. As much as possible I remain calm and diplomatic. Some observation from my experience is that other people don't care what they do or say and I found myself victim of their harsh words and nonconstructive criticism. I believe you experienced this too. Here comes Yvonne Rice,  who  said,   ‎"Pay less attention to what people say and think about you and more attention to what you think and say , about yourself—this is the beginning of self-awareness and the doorway to your happiness." If Yvonne is right by saying this, then the realization ...

PERSONAL REFLECTION

 For your personal reflection this Lenten Season I brought to life this quotation taken from the Soul-Mate.       ‎ "It’s not what happens in life that determines your circumstances and where you are now. Bad things happen to all of us. What matters is the actions you take - blaming others for your misfortunes, will keep you in misery. Be responsible for your life; think how to change the situation to benefit you. It’s the first step to climbing out of that hole into a much brighter future"  The first sentence from this quotation says, "It is not what happens in life that determines your circumstances and where are you now."  I totally agree with this, and yes all sort of bad things happens to us but what is important as the Soul-mate says is the action you take that will determine where you are at right now. Blaming others for our misfortunes  is not the right thing to do and keeping that in your heart for a longer period of time wil...

MOTHER

 M - O - T - H - E - R M      -     is for million things she gave me. O    -   means only that she is growing old. T      -      is for the tears she shed to save me. H   -    is for her heart of gold. E    -    is for her eyes with love light shining in them. R    -    means right and right she'll always be. PUT THEM TOGETHER, THEY SPELL "MOTHER" A WORD THAT MEANS THE WHOLE WORLD TO ME. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LUCKY TO BE STILL BLESSED WITH YOUR MOM'S PRESENCE ON EARTH THIS STORY IS BEAUTIFUL. FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T SO BLESSED THIS IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL.    

EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER

This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say 'Eat this rice, son! I'm not hungry.' This was Mother's First Lie. As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, 'Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish.' This was Mother's Second Lie. Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to bring home some used match...

THE MOST POWERFUL MEDICINE (demo video supplied)

Even before the invention of synthetic medicines, organic and alternative medicines has been practiced by man from generation after generation. 1.ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES Alternative medicine is a term that describes methods and practices used in place of conventional medical treatments. Many people use alternative medicines in addition with conventional medicines to complement them. ACUPUNCTURE:  It is one of the most widely used alternative medicine treatments, which involves the use of fine needles. Specific points on the body are stimulated by inserting very fine needles into the skin and underlying tissues during acupuncture. In some cases additional stimulation is added by warming the needle or with a very low voltage electrical current.  The flow of energy cannot be blocked or suppressed and must be redirected. Stimulating these specific points is believed to unblock the flow of energy. Though this procedure is not painful but it may cause a tingling ...

KINDNESS COSTS NOTHING

This simple life quotation taken from the soul-mate, Yvonne Rice is a very simple down to earth advise that we need to understand and carefully follow because it will leads us to know ourselves  better much more the other person. "Never look down on anyone in life unless you are giving them your hand to help them up. Everyone in life has a story and if you take the time to listen, you can learn much about yourself. Kindness costs nothing however, a simple kind act - can leave a profound effect and be the turning point in someone else life" Sometimes unknowingly we are not careful about words that we says and incidentally we cause someone to stumble and feel hurts. But other people do it out of arrogance. But then again reflect on this, "kindness costs nothing" and a "simple act of kindness" can lead to a profound effect and be the turning point in someone else life.

RESPECT EVERY CENTS

A PROMISING COUNCILOR FROM DISTRICT II IN THE NAME OF COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA FILED AN ORDINANCE MANDATING ALL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS IN QUEZON CITY TO GIVE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF CHANGE TO ALL CONSUMERS. THE SAID PROPOSED CITY ORDINANCE WILL NOT ONLY PROTECT EVERY CONSUMERS TO RECEIVE THE EXACT CHANGE IN THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT THEY PURCHASED BUT ALSO GIVING THEM A SENSE OF RESPECT TO EVERY SINGLE CENTAVOS. THE PROPOSED  CITY ORDINANCE OF THE SAID YOUNG BUT DYNAMIC QUEZON CITY LADY COUNCILOR FONDLY CALLED "ALY" BY HER FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS IS VERY TIMELY AND IMPORTANT. AT FIRST, I WAS NOT ABLE TO APPRECIATE ITS IMPORTANCE UNTIL ONE TIME I READ SOMEONE'S LETTER ADDRESS TO CONSUMERLINE OF CHING  M. ALANO,  PHILIPPINE STAR RESIDENT COLUMNIST  DATED APRIL 12, 2011. THIS IS THE EXACT LETTER OF A CONCERNED CITIZEN. DEAR CONSUMERLINE: ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WROTE YOU ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, WHERE THEY DID NOT GIVE M...

INTERNET IN THE FAMILY

I WAS NOT ABLE TO READ THE PART ONE COPY OF THE INTERNET IN THE FAMILY PUBLISHED BY PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO READ ITS PART II EPISODE OF INTERNET IN THE FAMILY. MOST HOMES TODAY IS EQUIPPED WITH COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS AND NET BOOKS. SOME OTHERS HAVE ACCESS TO COMPUTERS THROUGH  COMPUTER SHOPS THAT SPROUTING LIKE MUSHROOMS IN ALMOST EVERY CORNER. TODAY, WE ARE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT INTERNET IN THE FAMILY WHEREIN THE PARENTS CAN HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF RULES AND REGULATION ON THE USE OF THE WEB. HERE ARE 10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARENTS: 1.     SPEND TIME WITH CHILDREN ONLINE.         As with other media, the best way for an adult to know how children use the Internet is to use it along with them. This allows an adult to understand what children do when they surf the Internet, to know their favorite online sites and the way they use the Internet. The key to this shared navigation is dialogue...

US RETURNS $132.000 TO THE PHILIPPINES

NONE OTHER THAN US AMBASSADOR HARRY THOMAS JR. HANDED OVER THE CHECK AMOUNTING TO $132,000 TO JUSTICE SECRETARY LEILA DE LIMA IN THE FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUEST MADE BY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IN 2009 UNDER THE MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE TREATY (MLAT) BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. THE CHECK AMOUNTING TO $132,000 IS A PROCEED FROM THE SALE OF REAL ESTATES OWED BY FORMER MILITARY COMPTROLLER JACINTO LIGOT AND HIS WIFE ERLINDA IN BUENA PARK, CALIFORNIA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT RETURNED TO THE PHILIPPINES PROCEEDS OF ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH ABROAD THROUGH MLAT. I HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE THE START THAT THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT WILL BE SERIOUS ENOUGH IN CHASING AND PUTTING BEHIND BARS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO ACCUMULATED HUGE SOME OF MONEY THAT BELONGS TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. COOPERATION BETWEEN COUNTRIES LIKE US AND PHILIPPINES SHOULD BE STRENGTHEN IN PROSECUTING AND RUNNING AFTER GOVERNMENT PERSONALITY WHO STOLE THE PEOPLES MONEY. I HAVE THE SAME SENTIMENT...

SHE IS NONE OTHER THAN BRIG. GEN. RAMONA GO OF THE PHILIPPINE ARMY. SHE IS THE FIRST FEMALE GENERAL WHO IS A REGULAR OFFICER IN THE MILITARY.

LADY IN THE SKY

A FEW WEEKS FROM THIS WRITE UP,  I FEATURED FIRST FEMALES  BUS DRIVERS, THIRTEEN OF THEM (13) TO BE EXACT, DRIVE THE BUSIEST ROAD OF EDSA, THE PHILIPPINES ONCE MOST DANGEROUS ROADS WHERE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS TAKES PLACE. TODAY, I WILL FEATURE THE FIRST PHILIPPINE FEMALE COMMERCIAL JET PILOT. HER NAME IS CAPTAIN MARIE "BROOKE" A. CASTILLO FROM THE COCKPIT OF CEBU PACIFIC'S AIRBUS A319s AND A320's. CASTILLO SAID SHE IS DESTINED TO BE THE LADY IN THE SKY AND SHE DESCRIBES THAT TO BE A PILOT IS THE BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD. OF COURSE NO ONE DISAGREE WITH WHAT SHE FEELS ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE IS OUT THERE IN THE SKY. WOMEN CONQUERED THE WORLD PREVIOUSLY CONQUERED ONLY BY MEN. CASTILLO SAID, AS A PILOT SHE NEEDS TO SCRUTINIZE EVEN THE SMALLEST DETAILS BECAUSE SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT ONES LIFE IN DANGER. WOMAN PILOT HAD AN ADVANTAGE OVER THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS IN THIS ASPECT. A PILOT NEEDS TO CHECK MORE THAN 200 ITEMS BEFORE AN ACTUAL FLIGHT. THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, CAST...

BUSINESS EMPIRE

LIKE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE PLANET, ME TOO WANTED TO START MY OWN BUSINESS EMPIRE. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW CAN I DO IT? AND WHERE DO I START? SIPPING A CUP OF COFFEE WHILE DISCUSSING AND FORMULATING BUSINESS IDEAS WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE OR PEOPLE WITH SAME PASSION IS NOT A BAD IDEA. THE COFFEE SHOP BECOMES THE BEST FORUM AND THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE COFFEE TABLE IS THE FLAT FORM WERE IDEAS TRAVEL FROM ONE CORNER TO ANOTHER. THE AROMATIC SCENTS OF COFFEE MAKES THE DISCUSSIONS  LIVELIER AND HEALTHIER THAT MAKES THE BRAIN TICKLES MORE CREATING BRIGHT BUSINESS IDEAS AT A VERY FAST RATE MORE THAN EVERYONE PULSE RATES. DRINKING COFFEE IS SOMEWHAT A TOSS FOR SUCCESS. I WONDER HOW MANY BUSINESS EMPIRE TODAY ATTRIBUTED THEIR HUMBLE BEGINNING OVER A CUP OF COFFEE WITH HIS LIKE MINDED FRIENDS. IT IS MY DREAM THAT ONE DAY, I CAN JOIN  THE ELITE CIRCLE OF EXTRA- ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO TIRELESSLY CAPITALIZES THE BEST UNCONVENTIONAL YET THE MOST POWERFUL BUSIN...

EARNING EMPLOYEES TRUST

IN ANY WORK PLACE, EARNING EMPLOYEES TRUST IS VERY CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF  BUSINESS ENDEAVOURS. SOMEONE SAID THAT EMPOWERING EMPLOYEES BY EARNING THEIR TRUST IS A CURE TO ALL ORGANIZATIONAL ILLS. AN EMPLOYEES MUST BE TREATED WELL AND RESPECTED. MOST MANAGERS CONSIDERED EMPLOYEES AS A MERE PAWN BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE BEST KNOWLEDGE TO SERVE CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS. SUSAN HEATFIELD LISTED HOW MANAGERS EARN THEIR EMPLOYEES TRUST AND THEREBY EMPOWER THEM. I FOUND IT VERY BENEFICIAL SO I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU IN THIS BLOG. 1.      ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES       MANAGERS MAY WELL ASK THEMSELVES: WHAT DECISIONS CAN BE MADE BY STAFF MEMBERS? WHAT DECISIONS CAN THEY MAKE EACH DAY FOR WHICH THEY DO NOT NEED PERMISSION? SUSAN SAID, MANY MANAGERS MICRO-MANAGE THEIR SUBORDINATES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT TRUST THEIR STAFF TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. SHE CITES AN HR MANAGER WHO ADDED 10 DAYS TO THE COMPANY'S...

BUILDING RELATIONSHIP THRU SOCIAL NETWORK

REMINDING ME OF MY PURPOSE WHY I CONSIDER TO EXERT AN EFFORT TO BLOG IS TO MEET NEW FRIENDS AND NEW RELATIONSHIP AS FAR AS MY BLOGS REACHES ASIDE FROM MAKING AN INCOME IF THERE IS REALLY SUCH AS SOME OF ONLINE ADVERTISER PROMISES. I REMEMBER THE TIME, WHEN I WAS SO LONELY AND WANTED SOMEONE TO TALK WITH, I RESORT TO FIND SOMEONE TO TEXT BUT TO DO THAT I NEED A LOT OF CELL PHONE NUMBERS TO TEXT TO. SO I NEED TO GO ONLINE TO LOOK FOR A SITES WERE GREAT NUMBERS OF CELL PHONES WERE PUBLICIZED. TRUE ENOUGH I FOUND GREAT SITES AND MY SEARCH PAYS OFF. LATER ON I WAS ABLE TO BU Y A COMPUTER NET BOOK AND STARTED THE FUN OF WRITING A BLOG. I ALSO TRIED TO JOIN OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS DECENT AND INDECENT ONES AS SOME MAY CALL IT. THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA I WAS RECONNECTED ANEW TO MY LONG LOST FRIENDS, CLASSMATES AND FAMILIES. AND I WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN MY FIRST BLOG REACHES THE UNITED STATES TERRITORIES, INDIA, CANADA, MALAYSIA, ISRAEL, HUNGARY, AND OTHER CONTINENTS. I WAS STILL LEARNING AND S...

VICTIM OF IRRESPONSIBLE TV SHOWS

I FOR ONE, BELIEVES THAT WILLIE'S SHOW SHOULD NOT CAPITALIZE ON REPEATED PERFORMANCE OF A SIX YEARS OLD BOY NAMED JAN-JAN WHO DID A MACHO DANCE INFRONT OF THE THE TV CAMERAS. THOUGH THE NET WORK, ABC5 AND THE PROGRAM HOST ITSELF, WILLIE REVILLAME APOLOGIZED IN PUBLIC BUT THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE STOPPED AT ONCE. REMINDING THAT PROGRAM SHOWS  LIKE THIS MUST BE REGULATED. YES IT PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT AT THE EXPENSE OF AN INNOCENT BOY. ALLOWING THE BOY DO IT REPEATEDLY IS A CLEAR VIOLATION AGAINST THE BOY'S WILL. WILLIE AND COMPANY SHOULD BE ANSWERABLE FOR THIS. I BELIEVE JAN-JAN, A SIX YEARS OLD IS A VICTIM OF A IRRESPONSIBLE TV SHOWS LIKE WILING WILLIE. GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THE  DOUBT, ASSUMING THAT WILLIE DO IT WITHOUT MALICE NONETHELESS, HE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED THAT SAME SHOULD NOT BE COUNTENANCE OTHERWISE IT WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDING TO LAW.
