What my life had been so far.

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...

The Tree of Life

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...

Success in the making.

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...

127 hours.

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...

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

C.S. Lewis never fails to amaze me with his writings. Though I didn't have that much time when it comes to reading books. So I haven't read the whole Chronicles yet. But I soon will when I had time to do it. My big thanks to those movie producers who made everything possible for bringing it to life. With the technology we have, everything's gonna be possible. With the movie tricks (as how they used to call it) and the effects, I salute them! Well, of course we know that there are a lot of changes when a book will be made to a cinematic experience. Because with these series, it takes imagination just so you can understand it. With this 3rd installment, I knew it from the very start that it's really gonna be exciting. Though the other two aren't there - Peter and Susan. Edmund and Lucy are interesting characters I would say since The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. For they both have the most intriguing part of the story. Edmund seem to be surprised that he's...

2011.

I feel so ashamed of myself. I've never been this busy. I feel sorry for my blog. I admit that I have not been able to update my blog for a long time due to my schedules at work. Yeah, yeah. How come I'm active in Twitter. Lol. I think it's because Twitter's a microblog. How about Facebook? Well, same thing. I can almost update everyone with just snap on my Blackberry. Okay, enough about that. Time to go the very point of this blog and that is to share my journey last year. There had been a lot of challenges in my life last year. I'm not saying that there's a point in my life that I haven't gotten one but life indeed is always full of challenges and I look forward to have more this year, in a sense that it would make me more stronger than what I've been. With my year 2010, everything seems to be so inspiring. I am always motivated by the people around me who believes in what I am capable of. It's what drives me to stay with the job I'm in and p...
