Appeal

Do you have sex appeal?

Here's a simple experiment.

Go to a place crowded with children, stand or sit in one place without making any effort to be noticed.  If children smile at you without calling their attention, you've got sex appeal.  The theory is that children's emotions are spontaneous because they don't yet experience emotional disturbances unlike adults.  Your gf/bf may lie, but a child won't lie.

This was sent to me by JP.  Out of curiosity, I tried this.  While waiting for the sched of my interview, I decided to spend a few more hours in Glorietta, while sitting on the bench… I saw three lil girls running around… playing with each other….

I was busy browsing my inbox when suddenly one of the lil girls came by…

She said…

Ate, you're alone?  What are you doing?

I smiled and said..

Was waiting for someone… <joke>

She sat beside me and tried to hold the edge of my belt… The conversation went on and on until I found myself playing with the 2 other girls, too..

Hehehehe then I remembered this text… Shall I call it, sex appeal… JP?! Hehehehe

If u act on it

All is set to a dead-serious task.  Time's running, clients beginning to list themselves on the portfolio, and expenses incurred are piling up.  The long breathe has yet to be taken seriously before the take-off.

Clients can easily be gathered and be informed.  Word of mouth can easily be started.  But it's hard to cope up and catch up with the fast advertising without having a definite and structured product to offer.  The gun cannot be fired without a bullet… just as the company cannot be fully endorsed without a concrete strategic planning and position.

This is what we've learned.  This is the fear we've been trying to surpass victoriously.  In professionalism, hardwork, camarederie and friendship… in corporate world, this is what we can CONQUER…

THE POSSIBILITIES OF DREAMS… IN JUST ONE REACH… IF YOU ACT ON IT!

Life’s Immeasurable Quotes

The measure of a person is not in how well he prepares for everything to go right but in how gracefully he stands up and moves on after everything goes wrong.

The sun warms your body, but the rain cleanses the spirit.. the light shows you the way, but darkness shows you the stars.. happiness enlarges your heart, yet sadness opens your soul.

Livin' a life all depends on the way you look at it..  Be blessed and be a Blessing!" 

The greatest revenge to a girl who steals your man is to let her have him..

Because a good man can never be stolen."

May God give you….

a rainbow… for every storm

a smile … for every tear

a blessing … for every trial

a sweet song… for every sigh

and an answer for every prayer. 

Baby

Advisory: Hindi ko baby ito.. hehehe

Minsan may seryoso akong statement… na ewan ko ba bakit bigla kong nasabi pero hindi ko pinanghinayangang nasabi ko…

"Gusto ko na yata magka-Baby ._."

May kakaibang saya na hindi ko maipaliwanag habang hindi ko namamalayan na lumilipas ung oras na tumitingin-tingin lang ako sa baby.  Gusto ko ung feeling na masaya ako habang napapahalakhak ako ng mga mumunti at simpleng gestures niya… iyong mga nahuhuli ako ng baby na sumisilip-silip lang…..

Ewan ko rin nga kung bakit naka-smile lang ako habang inaabangan ang paghinga, pagngiti, pagkindat, pagsipa at pagtawa nung baby.  Eto ung rare time na mas pinipili ko makipagbonding sa bata kesa makipagbonding sa mga mas matatanda.  Nakakatuwa pala talaga… lalo na kapag yung baby eh wonder boy na parang matanda din na nakikipaglaro, nakikipagkwentuhan at nakikiramdam sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya..

Sarap pala ng feeling maging Mommy…  Iyan ang isa sa mga bagay na nagpapasaya sa akin sa mga panahong ito…. nakakawala ng stress….

May isang pagkakataon na… nakahiga ako sa sofa habang ung bata eh nasa ilalim ng paa ko… <may pagitan naman para makahinga ung baby> at nakapaligid sa kanya ang mga unan… biglang may nagdoorbell… sa isip ko …. nakupo magigising ang baby…. dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mata ko para sulyapan siya…

Napahalakhak ako sa tawa nang makita kong…. ung baby… ganun din ang ginagawa…. dahan-dahan din niyang binubuksan ang mata niya habang sinisilip ako kung nagising ako sa tunog ng doorbell… sabay na sabay kami sa pagmulat at sabay na sabay kaming nagkatawanan…. Sabay sa paghalakhak ko ay ang pagtawa nung baby… para bang may nabuong dialogue na..

Baby:  Pung! Huli kaw! Kala mo di kita makikita ha….

Sheggz:  Hahahaha 

Hmm… hindi sa akin ung baby… nakikitingin lang… <baka mabasa ito ni Mader>

My Music and Lyrics

I tried to set aside my passion for songwriting at the time I wasn't permitted by my family to pursue a Conservatory of Music course in UP in 1995.  I trashed it out when my song entry didn't qualify in Metropop.

In short, that dream had been trashed out until such time that I almost forgot even ticking the keys of my keyboard… that I couldn't even play a complete song or read a music sheet.

The beginning of all disappointments started in this era.  It's not that I hate the world for this but I hate myself for not having the much-needed push to nourish this gift.  Cause the voice within had been kept a prisoner… knowing that voice, when freed, is what liberates me and will heal the tortured soul.

The very seat of my essence ends and as to how I will recuperate is a struggle.  It's not that I disappoint the world or any of those who have been expecting that sooner or later I could be a songwriter, but moreso, I have disappointed myself.  Now I understand.

Now I know.  Now I know where to go.  Now I know what to do.

Elsewhere I go… I will always be home to my Music and Lyrics…

And the opportunity to bring back the lost times… is NOW.

The Unknown Sign

Yesterday morning right before attending a job interview, I checked the date… 08-08-2007.  Out of the blue, I just added the month and year to find out that it's 17.  Elsewhere I look, I was seeing 17.  What's in my favorite number?

Came a casual talk with a friend.  An invite.

While walking inside the venue, I told myself… I asked for this sign.  At the time Aiza Seguerra's phenomenal song, "Pagdating ng Panahon" got numerous recognitions in Awit Awards.  As to what's behind that sign… that I could hardly discern.  I was looking at things, at people and events that will help me give clues to that sign.  I know for a fact that it has something to do with what I've long been wanting to do, but I need to confirm it for myself.

I was looking for Trina Belamide at the event… but she was nowhere to be found.  She's my favorite songwriter actually. 

Almost all of my favorite performers and musicians were there…. Raymond Lauchengco, Jed Madela, Jett Pangan, The Company, Cesar Aguas, etc.  These are just one of the clues…

I'm puzzled by that sign… but I felt a sudden push… the feeling of I'm running out of time… 

Dreams Come True

I am subscribed to Jobstreet and daily, I received job alerts from a sender named LiNa. When I'm employed, I usually ignore LiNa's email… but this one I received from him/her… that I would want to post in my blog…

Dare to Dream…. Dare Yourself! 

Dear JobStreet.com Members,

This is the stuff of movies: a young man, in the face of personal and professional challenges, struggles against the odds and finally achieves his dreams.

Naozumi "Nao" Tsuchiyama, a 26-year-old Japanese language instructor whose right leg was amputated as a child and now wears a prosthetic, had always wanted to become a boxer.

To do so, he needed a boxing license but was denied this in his home country on account of his physical condition. So, he went abroad but even then it wasn't easy for him.

The first time he applied for a boxing license from the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) in the Philippines, he was rejected because his condition was deemed not fit for boxing. Medical examinations showed otherwise, but the GAB would not budge.

Last August, he took part in a trial fight in the Philippines where he impressed the GAB officials in attendance. Despite a favorable recommendation from these representatives who were impressed with his performance, the GAB still rejected his application.

Undeterred, Nao persisted and flew to South Korea to take part in the World Boxing Association's annual conference. He returned to the Philippines with the assurance that there is no international policy preventing him from fighting professionally. This time around, the GAB relented and gave him his license.

Nao will be fighting his third match in the Philippines on Aug 9. JobStreet.com is proud to support Nao's endeavor.

We hope his tale will inspire everyone to pursue their dreams. If there's a will, there's always a way.

Warm wishes
LiNa, your personal career agent

Repost: Dancing in the Moonlight

My brainy caboodles started to stuck up after the mind-boggling exam I took yesterday.  The first part was just a number sequence but it totally put me out of control… The first time actually to encounter such exam that has almost pulled my nerves out of my senses…

Just in the middle of answering the time-pressured exam, when I heard the intro of Dancing in the Moonlight… I stopped for awhile and started dancing while on my seat.  No one's in the room, and I was the only one taking the exam so I had a rare time of my life to dance to my favorite song….

When the test administrator entered… I sat immediately & continued what I was doing..

She said.. "Okay, time is up!"

I was about to exclaim … "What?!? I was not yet done."

I keep on laughing… I told myself… "When I fail this exam and I didn't get the job… that is because of I couldn't resist the tune of that song…. it's too captivating!"

Hehehe

Luckily… after several minutes… I was called up again for the interview.. wooohoo?!? Ano un hindi chineckan ung papel ko ??
