1) The wisest phrase uttered: "I don't know."
Knowing the boundaries of what you can and can’t do is knowing who you are. Admitting to others there these boundaries are is a sign of this self-awareness, of humility, and of a willingness to listen and to learn. It takes courage to admit to others that you don’t know the answer – but it is that same courage that can fuel so many other wonderful things. The courage to let others show you the way. The
courage to be creative. The courage to take risks. The courage to fail and to get up and try again. If you know who you are and what you can do today, then you will also know what you have the potential to do tomorrow. Know what you don’t know.
2) The most admirable attitude: "Stay hungry."
Unpredictability. One thing holds true every day: that something we don’t know about in advance might happen to our customers. It is important to have a passion for helping others. When we put the extra effort, it matters.
3) The most innovative thinking: break your assumptions.
Our industry changes fast. To do the same underlying assumptions year after year is a dangerous place to be – those assumptions, however, good they were at one point in time can be the complete opposite down the road. Don’t stick to past principles and operating models, even if they were right before. Don’t keep doing things the same way over and over again if it isn’t relevant to our direction anymore. Keep questioning yourself. Am I doing this today because I have always done it that way? Am I making this decision because it has always worked well for me in the past? Does the result of my action further our direction? At the end of the day, we are all here to feel good to ourselves. And that means creating value – for everyone. To create unique value, you need to understand the reason why you are living in this world.
Ask the questions “Did I create value today? Are the things I’m about to do today aligned with our Gods vision and mission?” If not, don’t do it. If so, keep doing it.
Be willing to let go of what you’ve known or done in the past, and open yourself up to new ways of thinking, new assumptions, new challenges, and new possibilities.
The true spirit is to know who you are, to set aside your ego, to have the courage to be creative and the courage to fail. If your intentions are pure and your actions
aligned with our direction, you will quickly learn that if you fall, you will easily find compassion and a helping hand from others around you.

I will persist until I succeed
I reject the fact that you don't like me anymore
Or is that something only in my mind?
I know that I never been a special person from start
Am I pushing myself to you
I never ask if you like me as well
I just asked if I can be a close person to you
I thought it is a good start
But since then I feel that you do not want to see nor hear anything from me
I tried my best to get in touch with you
I always pray that I can receive a single reply from you
I told myself that you are just busy
But days go by and it seems that you totally rejected me
I do not want to give up
I always believe that one day I can hear response from you
I do not want to give up
I will persist until I succeed
Or is that something only in my mind?
I know that I never been a special person from start
Am I pushing myself to you
I never ask if you like me as well

I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever
Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down. [Yeah!]
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]
Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.

Decision making
I am very slow when it comes to decision making. I weigh things and situations so most of the time I become the last person. Though I cannot say that my decision is always right it is something I never regret because I decided to go for it. But the problem is the time I spent before finalizing my decision. I do not have all the time in life before making decision, I know that. That is my problem. There are situations that needs a quick decision.
Example, a friend of mine made me realize that if in point in time you relaize that you have a special feeling to someone you better have to tell it or else you will regret it for the rest of your life.
From my past experience, I had waited a lot of time waiting for someone, waiting for the right time and for the right place. Because of too much waiting, too much thinking and weighing things I lost my chance to show my true feelings.
So now, I decided to change. I have to do it. I have to be as open as possible. Just believe. If someone will get hurt-let it be. This will make me realize if I am doing the right thing or the bad thing. But then again, I cannot force everyone to be on my side. So, decide now or regret for the rest of your life. Try, there is no wrong in trying. Go go go.... This is my first step... Gud luck to me...

Quotes to Ponder
I started reading the book "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino and so far it is one of the gretatest book I ever read. Life lesson to keep, it says that "Failures will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." Which I strongly agree. One time when I attended a Management training they ask for my tag line. The first thing that comes in my mind "I will survive no matter what happens to me- I will and will continue to survive". In short "I will survive".
For the past years, I overcome a lot of trials in life. Most of the times I fail in everything I do. I never get something without loosing a lot of energy and time. But it is worthy when I achieve something because of my patience and determination to win.
I know that if a person just believe in himself, have faith that everything will be ok, whatever situations you are right now, just keep on believing and doing what is right. For at the end you will win this battle. Just keep on standing still. God will never let us down because He never will.

Living alone
Lately I spent my entire week in the office and went home during weekends. I sleep in the condo provided by our company. I am now experiencing to live alone and be independent. To eat alone, eating fastfood, food in styro, etc. Staying late in the office, doing cases, watching movies, browsing online, chatting, going out with friends, swimming, reading books, studying and a lot more. Most of the time I spend my whole day in front of my computers.
Sometimes I miss my family so there are times I go home on my third or second day. All my siblings are working and one have family. My parents often times in the province so I choose to stay in the office. At least I have my freinds to cheer up on me.
For the past weeks, me and my friend swimming at night though I do not know how to swim. I have problem when it comes to water. I am afraid to get drowned, afraid because often times water goes inside my nose. I am shy naman na magpa turo. hehehehe. Ang laki kong duwag. But my real problem, I still have no guts to do it even if they are willing to teach me. Hehhehe. Thats all.

Hook with the Davids
Suddenly I become a fan of the two Davids of American Idol season 7. I was not able to watch all there performances because I was busy at work. Just wanna thank the power of the internet and youtube and I am able to watch there performances. When I first heard the voice of this young David Archuleta I know that he can be at the top though my support was with our Pinay contestant- Ramiel Malubay. When she was elliminated my vote goes to the young David. I know that David Cook have an edge because of his rock image and his karisma which will help him to win. When news came out that these two will compete for the finals still my vote goes to David Archuleta however if I am going to consider the experience, to sell the person, money as usual, they would definitely go with David Cook. So, as expected- David Cook won. No problem with me. Either of the two deserves to be the next American Idol. At this moment I am hook with these two artist for they are both talented, gifted and very good singers. Goodluck!

Second round for Home Building Program
I am so lucky to be once again be part of home building Prgram last July 30 - August 1, 2008 of gawad Kalinga in Batangas. We were total of 43 participants, 2 Filipino volunteers and the rest from Taiwan students and from Los Angeles US students.
Despite it was raining on our three days in Batangas we still continue to build houses. We play with the kids, we interact with the parents and enjoy every minute of our stay in the build.
"Smile" and "Never Give Up". These were the words from the son of our CEO- Victor Chang. These are very easy to do but very hard to do all the time during the build. Compare to the people we were helping, despite of their life conditions they keep on smiling and never give up with their life. So with with these, we should do the same during the build. I am so impress and very proud of beng part of his father's company for I know that I am on a very great company. My dream is to make this company listed on one of fortune 500 companies in the world. I believe it will be for the people handling with this company are very great.
I saw what kind of Manager we had in this company through Victor. He think fast, he were able to manage the people, motivates in times when we were tired in our work, reminding us to smile, very good with people relation, good speaker. Although we know he can have almos everything because of his life stutus, he doesn't care if his hands get dirt during the build. You can see that he love what he is doing. Great man!
Days past by so fast. I really want to stay and join them on the other build site but our schedule is up to Friday only. But I really enjpined my stay. I did everything I can do during the build. as local volunteer, I become the point of communication- translator for the locals and the foreign volunteers. I tried all the work. Mixing cement, gathering stomes, carrying cement, blocks, digging the soil, carrying soil, sand, gravel, paiting, playing with the kids, intracting to the benificiaries and to all the people on the build. I did those things because these are things I wanted to do and the reasons why I joined the program. It bring smile, makes me more as a fulfilled person. I bring happiness and people appreciate what I am doing. I really love the feeling and hoping I can join again.

I am so impress and very proud of beng part of his father's company for I know that I am on a very great company. My dream is to make this company listed on one of fortune 500 companies in the world. I believe it will be for the people handling with this company are very great.
I saw what kind of Manager we had in this company through Victor. He think fast, he were able to manage the people, motivates in times when we were tired in our work, reminding us to smile, very good with people relation, good speaker. Although we know he can have almos everything because of his life stutus, he doesn't care if his hands get dirt during the build. You can see that he love what he is doing. Great man!
Days past by so fast. I really want to stay and join them on the other build site but our schedule is up to Friday only. But I really enjpined my stay. I did everything I can do during the build. as local volunteer, I become the point of communication- translator for the locals and the foreign volunteers. I tried all the work. Mixing cement, gathering stomes, carrying cement, blocks, digging the soil, carrying soil, sand, gravel, paiting, playing with the kids, intracting to the benificiaries and to all the people on the build. I did those things because these are things I wanted to do and the reasons why I joined the program. It bring smile, makes me more as a fulfilled person. I bring happiness and people appreciate what I am doing. I really love the feeling and hoping I can join again.

Cellphone or Bible
CELLPHONE laging hawak at ipinapakita.. BIBLE laging nakatago at ayaw ipakita.. CELLPHONE binibili kahit libo-libong halaga.. BIBLE ayaw bilhin kahit isang daan halaga.. CELLPHONE laging binabasa kung may message.. BIBLE hindi binabasa kaya hindi makita ang message.. CELLPHONE ayaw magasgasan.. BIBLE ok lng kahit maalikabukan.. CELLPHONE mahirap ipahiram baka masira.. BIBLE madaling ipahiram kahit mawala.. CELLPHONE nauubusan ng message.. BIBLE laging full of message.. CELLPHONE ay mahalagang gamit.. BIBLE mas mahalaga kung gagamitin.. Lets make a change!! God loves us!!
My Experience with GK- script
My experience during 5-day homebuilding program with Gawad Kalinga is far more than what I initially imagined, and what i signed up for.
Before I submit my application, I took time to read the Home Building Program websie and from there I learned what I will expect with this program. On the schedule day to leave Manila to Batangas, I packed my bag with the expectation that we are going to build houses.
We carried rocks, prepared cement and interacted with the beneficiaries. But this did not surprise me for this is very common for what I attended when I was still in school. What really surprised me and perhaps what makes my experience more meaningful was witnessing Trenders from difference countries with difference cultures interacted, working together for a common good.
There were around 25 of us, Trenders from Japan, EMEA, APAC, and Philippines who signed up to build homes. We all accepted the challenge to work outside the office and to work with people we have not met. Yet during the build, we were able to work effectively. We did not ask anyone to do anything but we were able to work together. People volunteered and everyone was just but willing to do anything to see the GK houses ready to use.
After the trip, we volunteers exchanges emails and from there I found out that other Trenders who joined the program are directors or managers from other region. However during the program I did not feel that they were different or special.This made me appreciate the culture we have inside the office -- no matter where a Trender goes, a Trender will always carry a humble heart. And when called into action, a Trender regardless of his/her nationality or culture will always be willing to help and get things done.

EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER
A wonderful story to really share.
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 matchboxes which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, 'Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning.' Mother smiled and said 'Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired.'
This was Mother's Third Lie
When I had to sit my Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her.. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass of salabat (ginger) that she had prepared in a thermos. The ginger was not as strong as my Mother's love, Seeing Mother covered with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said 'Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!'.
This was Mother's Fourth Lie.
After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent. She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came to help us solve our problems big and small.
Our other neighbors saw that we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying 'I don't need love.'
This was Mother's Fifth Lie.
After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my old Mother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morning just to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she was steadfast and even sent the money back to me. She said, 'I have enough money.'
That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by the American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in America but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me 'I'm not used to to high living.'
That was Mother's Seventh Lie
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized. Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who was bedridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbroken because she was so thin and feeble but Mother said, 'Don't cry, son! I'm not in pain.'
That was Mother's Eighth Lie.
Telling me this, her eighth lie,,, she died.
YES, MOTHER TELL A LIE .... BUT WAS AN ANGEL TO ME!
M - O - T - H - E - R
'M' is for the Million things she gave me, 'O' means Only that she's 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 all together, they spell 'MOTHER' a word that means the 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.
P Please Save a Tree for the Next Generation.

Never take someone for granted
Dear All
Never take someone for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
because you might wake up one day and
realize that you've lost a diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones.

Stress Management
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked
"How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that's not aproblem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an am bulance.
In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
He continued,
"And that's the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
as the burden becomes increasinglyheavy,
we won't be able to carry on. "
"As with the glass of water,
you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."
"So,before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down .
Don't carry it home.
You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now,
let them down for a moment if you can."
So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.
Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet,
just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good
if you die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
it was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
becausethen you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well.< BR>Just get up and dance.
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way,
you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for yo u.
The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today..I did.
