As iron sharpens iron.

I am the sea on a moonless night, Calling, falling, slipping tides I am the leaky, dripping pipes The endless aching drops of light I am the raindrop falling down, Always longing for the deeper ground I am the broken, breaking seas Even my blood finds ways to bleed Even the rivers ways to run Even the rain to reach the sun Even my thirsty streams, Even in my dreams I am restless, I am restless I am restless, looking for you I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore I’m looking for you I am the thorn stuck in your side, I am the one that you left behind, I am the dried up doubting eyes Looking for the well that won’t run dry Running hard for the other side The world that I’ve always been denied Running hard for the infinite With the tears of the saints and hypocrites Oh blood of black and white and gray Death and life and night and day One by one by one We let our rivers run I am restless, I am restless ...

Thankful. That's all I'm gonna say. If not because of the people who believed in what I'm capable of, I won't get to where I am today. Each day, there's always a lesson to learn and a role to play. I've always been a positive thinker, ever since. I may have been through a lot but it's with those experience that I get to learn how to be strong. Let me start with my parents, who encourages me to be the best that I can, to my friends who are always there to listen, to the team I'm in at work who are always very supportive and to God, who is always the source of my strength as I go through my journey in life. But the adventure continues and it doesn't end there. A lot of things have to be done as I continue to move forward. There's still room for improvement as I go through maturity with my career. The door won't close as long as I will choose to be determined on reaching my goals. I will never get swayed if ever someone would turn me d...

Finally. Had time to update my blog. With the busy schedules that I had, it was really a challenge to do the things you usually do. Time flies! It's been a great journey for me since I had this role with my career and that is exactly what I'm going to share about with this entry. Here goes... I am just so amazed with how God moved in my life. He tremendously blessed me with so many things, not only just with material things, but with my day-to-day experiences. There will always be a lesson to learn each day. Being a trainer, a mentor, or a teacher, was never an easy thing to do. But when you get to realize if you're doing it with a purpose, with a heart that is so full of passion, everything else follows. With the recent success that I had, I learned that valuing your people I would say was one of the secret ingredients of effective leadership. Not only just by teaching them of what to do but learning from them as well. Checking on them every single day on how they are fe...

Terrence Malicks works would probably one of the brilliant masterpiece when it comes to a movie like this. To some, they may thought of it as something creative or a work of art. To some it could be something boring. As I watch the movie, the first thing that came in to my mind was a question, "Is this another movie that speaks about what we believe in?" What I love with these kinds of movies is that it makes me think. I love movies that would make me think. And it's quite a challenge because it wouldn't be easy for you to digest a 2 hour and 18 minute movie when all you see was sci-fi and surrealist themes and imagery through space and the birth of life on Earth on the most part of the movie. But it was amazing! I've always been fascinated by space and nature. The movie somehow made me realize that it is impossible to not even think that there'd be no divine intervention with all these creations which is what made the story really moving. I am not going to s...

Each of us have our own goals in life. And with where I am now, I'd say that each day is always a success for me. If not with the people I know, i wouldn't get this far. Well, thing is, not everyday is an easy one for most us. I can say that with those obstacles along the way, I learned a lot from them. It is what mostly defines who I am today. I am just so thankful that God made me go through those difficulties to prepare me for a bigger battle ahead. The other one that made me step out of my comfort zones were my mentors. I'm pretty sure everyone has one. If you don't, go look for one. Like what I used to say, our mentors are one of our life's greatest treasures. Most of the time, they were around to give sound advice, correct our mistakes and learn from them and most of all, they're always there for you to realize your worth as an individual. Especially when we're talking about our contributions to any organization as a professional. I really can't th...

There's a point in our lives where we always find ourselves reckless. Usually, with our decisions. And we accept the fact that the things that are new to us are fun and that we'll surely enjoy without having a better understanding or simply by taking risk. I, myself, loves adventures. But it never came to me the idea on how wild I might become with the things I wanted to do. So I choose not to, especially when my parents said no to whatever I wanted to pursue. One thing that made me go see this movie was it's a true story. I always go for a movie like this one. Aron Ralston, an American mountain climber one day just left the house without letting anybody know where he's gonna be headed to. He did canyoneering in Utah, met two girls and made friends and left them after leading them to where they're going. Now while Aron (James Franco) is on his way to his destination, he find himself trapped by a boulder because of a sudden fall. With such bravery, realizing that he...
