But, what do we actually mean by CHRISTmas? Well, most of us neglect the true essence of the season. Some of us say, JESUS is the reason for this Season, but we don't really understand why HE was born. Let me tell you something.. Simply, "JESUS is the expression of God's love." He gave His one & only begotten SON just to save the whole world from SIN. That's plain simple, right? But some or even most of us thought of Christmas as an occasion or an event to celebrate with our loved ones. Nothing is wrong with that, but we tend to forget that it's JESUS' birthday, not everybody elses. Now, let me ask you this, what do used to see during Christmas? Our beloved gift giver Santa Claus together with his reindeers? The big Christmas trees in our homes? The twinkling Christmas lights on our windows? Or the gifts that we give to everyone? Well, I have nothing against on all of those things, it's just that, we do sometimes neglect that Christmas is about the...

What comes first into your mind when you hear something about GLOBAL VILLAGE? I know this may sound new to you for those who's unfamiliar. But let the Merriam-Webster dictionary define Global Village. Global Village - the world viewed as a community in which distance and isolation have been dramatically reduced by electronic media (as television and the Internet). And for other definition, Global Village means, it's the entire world and its inhabitants. Now, why do I come up with this kind of topic. What's the connection of this compound word in our lives as a Filipino individual? Read on to find out. Very interesting. We have just recently celebrated our church's 25th Anniversary. And coincidently, that was the theme of our church anniversary. It was quite very interesting because Global Village really is a technical term for this digital world. But if we will try to look it in another perspective, in a basic understanding, look at it literally. GLOBAL.. and then VILLA...

Well, there are a lot of reasons to thank about for this past 2 weeks. Me and my fellow wavemates have exerted our precious efforts just to pass on this Communication & Culture Training (CCT). It's a long story to tell, but let me cut it short just for you to catch up. The first two weeks in our training consists of series of assessments, oral presentations, teamwork building, role plays, games and mock calls. I know some of these may sound a jargon for you, but that's how it is. Well, we've enjoyed everything a lot. Laugh! Shout! Everything. And I am so thankful! For we are trained by a very professional trainer (the best trainer so far that I've ever encountered) and her name was Freda (Fredayeen to be exact). And to my teammates, thanks for being a sport. Atleast, we got the 3rd slot! And the best thing in that was, we did our very BEST in everything! So, to all of my fellow wave/batchmates! CONGRATULATIONS!!! We did it! And we're now entering into an...

I was currently hired at Convergys last week. October 17, 2007 Wednesday, to be exact. Haha! Well, one thing that I will never forget during the recruitment process was, the initial interview. Why? Actually, I don't know. I just felt that I have the strong conviction that I'll pass the initial interview. I never had the feeling of being nervous, I'm totally relaxed and smile. Answered all of the questions politely and accurately, and that's it. But of course, it has to be true. Something that comes from your heart. Sincere. Alright, I'm done on the initial interview, then there comes the exam. Fortunately, I passed too! Yeah! And finally, I'm on the last part of the challenge, and that is the "test of fluency." And I successly finished and passed on that too! I almost wanted to jump on my seat that time just to celebrate that I MAKE IT! Ü Well, one thing that I'm very thankful for was.. it's all because of GOD. For without Him, I know I can...

Hi there everyone! I'm back! So this is my second blog. Well, I have a lot of things to say about the greatness of God. Because truly, no one could ever measure the greatness of our one and only King! So, let us hail Him for the rest of our lives by serving Him wholeheartedly. Alright, I guess everything is all set. Here we go! Well, the reason why GOD really is Great! I mean, far beyond being great! I just can't imagine how He's working and moving in my life. What I mean is, I just don't know how to give him back all of what He's doing in my life. This is more than just a privilege that most of the people could ever have if they only learn how to seek Him in spirit and in spirit. You know, even if we're having all of these accomplishments, let us not forget to acknowledge God. For He's the only who could make everything possible. Dream of the impossible things? He can make it POSSIBLE. Because ALL things are POSSIBLE, as the line of the song goes. Now, the ...

hahaWell, first and foremost, I would like to introduce myself. Other than my name, (you know exactly what my name is, right?) It's about how they used to call me. Well, what I used to hear was, Les, Lester, whatever. My Dad used to call me Prinsipe when I was a kid. Some of my uncles, "Lesteroy!" and so on and so forth. I am a person who loves to be in an adventure. I am an adventurous person who always wants to try new things. Things that are far from what we used to do. But, don't get me wrong, I'm not (yet) CRAZY. Haha! But sometimes, I just got the idea that, being crazy sometimes, would let you do those unusual things that you've never been done before. But let me ask myself now, what are those things anyway? One of the things that I would like to try doing was.. Hmm.. What about climbing a mountain that was never heard of before? And then soon as I reached the peak of this mountain, there I'll stay for a night, watching those stars in the sky and pr...
