I’m leaving tonight Going somewhere deep inside my mind I close my eyes slowly Flowin’ away slowly But I know I’ll be alright It’s coming stronger to me And I know someone is out there Lead the way Lead the way Show me the answers I need to know
What I’m gonna live for What I’m gonna die for Who you gonna fight for I can’t answer that
... I feel numb, I’m alive I know I’m getting closer
... My life has had it’s share of troubles And now I found a place to go I’ve said goodbye to all my troubles ’cause now I’ve find my place to go
The Quest by Bryn Christopher
One of my faves from Grey's Anatomy Season 4. I dunno, but I feel like I'm one of the daughters of darkness. Ahemmmm... Will you help me live life? Just lead the way please. Oh, btw, Bryn is sexxyy... haha! wink!
After spending my saturday afternoon doing work stuff, I went to Ortigas to hear mass. After dinner, I came across these sets of original VCDs & DVDs on sale. I told myself, I'm gonna buy some to uplift my emotional & twisted self. Been pretty busy these past few weeks, so many things happened in the last few days that I don't even know will soon come my way.
There... I bought a copy of Serendipity. Oh! Yeah, I've watched this movie a hundred times already since college, and finally, I now have a copy of my own. I also bought three others, haha! On my way home, I was so excited to start the ball rolling!
My first pick was... Under the Tuscan Sun. It was fabulously done just like Sweet Home Alabama (my boy's favorite). It made me laugh and cry at the same time. Not depressing, as I don't want to become more depressed this weekend. Loved it!
"If you smash into something good, you should hold on until its time to let go... Now is not the time..." - Under the Tuscan Sun
Haha, playing senti this time... Something is weird these days, I kinda like this song (moment ko na naman)... How about you, what's your fave song? Sweetie, how are you? :) What do I do Every time I hold your hand, it’s not the same What do I do I think I fell in love with you
To all Nuffnangers, thank you so much for attending the premiere night. It was awesome to have met you all in person. :) I hope you all enjoyed watching the movie and got to see the supreme irony of life presented in the movie.
This is our very first community building event. We believe that the blogging community is really what is all about and what we are trying to develop.

There’s this guy, a popular one in the world of blogging – he’s even featured in the local dailies early this month, turned out to be one of my kindergarten best friend’s uncle! Hehe, really a small world huh. Bubbly, adorable and totally smart guy. And of course, with the ever supportive blogger friend Malen, who brought her other blogger friends (Mitch and Agnes) along to the Outoor Art Gallery event at Fullybooked, Boni High Street. Take a look at the pic, we’re like been close for a long time already.

To Malen: as always, been really supportive, dunno how to thank you that much. To Agnes and Mitch: nice to have you both around, keep the spirit high and see you guys soon! Love you all!
Am reading this new book, allow me to share some thoughts of David F. D’Alessandro. Very interesting, very informative, surely will guide you finding your way up!
To build the kind of personal brand that will help you to be successful, you will have another filter to the lens. In order to build a good reputation, you have to view your actions in the same way that the people judging you will view them.
While we tend to view our own less-than-heroic actions as no reflection on the basic goodness of our character, outside observers believe just the opposite that we do things we do because of the kind of people we are. It may be an error of perception but a fact of life.
Don’t flatter yourself. You can’t build a good personal brand if you can’t see yourself as others see you.
The best way to establish a brand when you are new to an organization is by offering something that is missing. Do something that is humble but essential.
Become a product with the right features. Of course, you don’t want to be appreciated just as where you are, but with a brand that shouts “upward mobility”. If you’re like a Mercedes to them, better deliver the performance they expect from a luxury brand, ‘coz who wants an unreliable Mercedes? No one!
Always remember these things…
·To be considered for the upper ranks, get into a position where you are making money for your organization.
·A reputation for dishonesty is a career-ender. No amount of talent, brains, or accomplishments will save you from it.
·Indiscretion can cost an organization a great deal, so become known for your excellent judgment about when to speak and when to keep quiet.
·Win a name as the human equivalent of FEDEX: Always deliver on time. If you overpromise and underdeliver, you won’t be trusted by your bosses, and you will go nowhere.
·Become known as the coach of the players want to play for. Develop a reputation for leadership, at some point your ability to do things become meaningless. What counts is whether you can get other people to do them.
Great thoughts right? The reason why I am posting this online is for young readers to have something different at this point in time. Intelligence and hard work are undeniably factors to have a successful career, but we can’t ignore character, something that is unique and REAL to each one of us…
Care to be successful and fabulous? It's about time I guess...
