Our Team Building in Zambales

This is Team 8 Mile. We name our teams at work after the movies. And we name ours 8 Mile. We're not really a big fan of Eminem, we just love the idea of being ahead of everyone. And I really hope that we could make it happen. Almost everybody has this sense of competition. So if you're not that competitive enough, then you're not certain of where you're headed to in life. Each of us has their own goals. We should just learn how to keep ourselves abreast with sacrifice. It takes sacrifice to attain your goals in life. I love my team so much, I just thought that we all deserve a very wonderful vacation. It may not be the best but we enjoyed it so much. The fun, the excitement, the adventure. Everything. This is me. Relaxing. (left) I've been waiting for this moment to come. I really love vacations! And it has never been this good. And the next pic (below) is one of the best shot I've ever had with the sunset. I love sunsets too! It makes me feel so hopeful for t...

Quiet time.

I just can't explain what happened with me today. It's just so unexplainable. The feeling where somebody's comforting you. But that person's no way around you but you just feel it. That's His presence. And you'll surely know it once you felt it before. Encountering the presence of God has never been that easy. That afternoon, I decided to go to Tagaytay and spend time with myself. You know, to relax and have fun. I guess. But there must be something more than what I have ever thought of that day. And that is to think, and spend time with the Creator. Of everything. Now, my point exactly. I prayed. Prayers. Is what most people forget to do. Especially when they're down. Lonely. Hopeless. Sad. But here's the thing, I know there are so many ways to escape from all of the realities of life. But spending time in prayer is a lot more different than just relaxing and being on a peaceful environment. What I had just realized is that doing it on a mountain ...

Paramore Thrilla in Manila!

The concert was indeed a successful one. We really had a blast! The energy of the band just amazed me. I haven't known Paramore for that long but I really liked and loved their songs. Sometimes people are just particular with how the music may sound. But for me, music is far more than that. I love the way Hayley and the the rest of the band compose their songs. They have this passion in them that made them really cool with their music. That night proves that they really are passionate with what they are doing. Sad though, Josh, one of the lead guitarist/bassist in the band, busy with his wedding plans. But I really did enjoy the night. With the people screaming, jumping and headbanging (Lol) It was such an unforgettable night for me. I've been waiting for this night for a long time and it did happen. Thanks to those people who demanded them on coming here. Hayley, with the band, find our country very warm with the way we welcome them. And of course, literally, summer is alr...

On the movie Invictus.

I finally had the chance to do a review about a particular movie that I just saw today. This movie indeed was brilliant, for its not only just a true story but it's really beautiful. I'm not really into politics but I find this movie very inspiring. I'm also not really into sports but I always love movies ending in victory. What really struck me the most was how in the world a man who spent 30 years in prison and come out and forgive the men who did it to him and even serve the country that he really loved. It is with the heart of a leader which I believe personally is the secret of a nation's greatness. This movie rekindled my sense of patriotism. I wish most of my fellow kababayan  would see this movie as well. To let them see how important being united in color and creed is for a nation to be great.

Life is what you make it.

I am so thankful with the months that had passed. Indeed, He is always faithful to those who are in the same way faithful with Him. I've got lots of plans though in my life ahead. For I know He's the only who could show me the way to that path I should be headed to. There may be a lot of obstacles along the way, but I never lose hope. For I know that in every sacrifice I make, a reward is always on its way. I am so privileged to have people around who are always there to encourage me on believing myself. I can't imagine my life without them. Friends, former schoolmates, colleagues, and my relatives. What I'm most concerned about right now is on how to use most of my energy on things that would make up of who I can become someday. I know that I already have my job while I'm studying but, there's more than what meets the eye. Simply, I wanna make a difference. But how could I possibly do that. Was it just a career? Like developing people? Encouraging them on wha...
