Aiming High

Let's aim high Pinay!

As a second year student of MBA class, we were required to come up with a feasibility study about anything we wish to venture. We were told to group ourselves into four and will work together as a team for this project. My group is composed of all girls working in different establishments. It's very exciting and cute actually working with all girls just like here in my office. PINK RULES! hehehe. By the way, I and my group mates came up with putting up a learning center for kindergartens and nurseries targeting a specific subdivision here in my city where construction of the site is still in progress. Last Sunday, we have conducted a house-to-house market survey and it was a mission accomplishment for us. That was my first time to do that. What an experience! Staying away from dogs, dealing with respondents’ apprehensions and managing a smooth conversation were really very challenging. And aside of that at the middle of our survey it rained so hard. So we went to my officemates house which is just nearby in the survey area and stayed there for awhile while waiting for the rain to stop. Afterwards, we went to a certain subdivision and there we have decided to make it as our target site where we’ll be going to construct our learning center. We did had fun aside of learning much. What an adventure. We're really aiming to continue this project even after graduation. Hopefully! I have faith. Who knows..

A touch of an Angel



Last night, I caught myself trapped in a scary place feeling helpless and clueless uttering no words but a prayer to GOD to help me find ways to handle the situation. It all started around 6pm in the evening when me and one of our sales manager ride together to check a certain client. But since I was in hurry because I need to attend my MBA class around 6:30 in the evening, I decided to take a jeepney since my school is not that far from there. It was already dark during that time and while looking for the route going to my school place, a "Konduktor" (refers to the assistant of the jeepney driver) approaches me and said "Xavier". Since that's the name of my school without further asking I simply get in and sit down. Since I feel stressed during that time, I hardly noticed the street where we're going. My mind was a bit busy but actually trying to relax my brain. After a few minutes, I'm back with myself again and starting to check if my school is already near. To my surprise, I find the place unfamiliar. That's was actually a diversion road if you would want to skip the busy traffic of the city. I ask the driver if aren't he going to pass my school. All of the passenger look at me and in their face I saw the concern because I mistakenly took that route. That was supposedly going to Xavier Heights and not Xavier University. I really don't know what to do during that time and just decided to get off. I heard one of the passenger and actually even the driver advice me to get off in the place where I could find a taxi. But it seems that I won't accept any suggestions during that time. I was really worried and all I could hear is the voice from my head. When I finally get off, I started to feel scared because the place is dark and there are only few houses in there. I started to look for a taxi, some pass by but there are already passengers inside. It's getting darker and my fear is growing. I was changing spots hoping that a taxi driver will see me. I feel so clueless and all I did was to pray that someone will help me. I've been really trying to find any means of transportation just for me to reach the place where I could find a taxi. Many private vehicles have passed. Since I keep on waving my hands, they must feel that I'm a bad person or worst some kind of a hooker :(. After awhile, finally my angel came and rescued me. It was a "Motorola" as what we call suddenly approaches and actually stop. I told him to help me because I was lost and I can't find a taxi for me to get back in the city proper. He said he needed to go somewhere but before going there he will help me first. Oh I was really relieved and just kept on saying thank you to him. We stopped in a street which is already a little bit familiar to me. He said I could find taxi in there. When I saw a security guard of a certain establishment, I finally let go of the fears but I am still shock with what had just happened. I gave the Motorolla driver a token which he declined. But I really insisted because for me he saves me. And again I thank him so much. He is my Angel and so blessed that GOD is always there for me.


After a few minutes, I finally got a taxi and simply go to the university. I was still really shock when I entered the campus and even when I entered the classroom. Some of my classmates really wondered what happened to me because it seemed that I'm not with myself during that time. I simply said I'm not doing ok and I just kept quite. I send messages to my family about what had happened. With their encouragement and understanding, I’m beggining to calm down and slowly removed the fears. I started to give smile and talk and later on finally manage to be with myself again. It was really a unique but fearful experience for me. What's my lesson? I should always read signs especially the route before getting in a jeepney or any other means of transportation. Thank GOD I am safe.

Let It Be


Hi. It's been a while since my last post here. I apologize. I was really too occupied with my work and schooling lately and ofcourse taking good care of my little boy. I had fun last weekend as we had our MBA acquaitance party. It was a remarkable experience because I got the chance again to sing on stage. At first, I was really concious and it made me deliver my lines badly on the first verse. Good thing my duet partner delivered his lines so well allowing me to catch the beat of the song. My close friends were all there teasing me a lot LOL.
Anyway, everything went well and we really enjoyed that event. Last Monday, me and my groupmates iniated our focus group discussion for our feasibility study. I think we're a little bit panicking that day because we really haven't prepared everything yet. And it's too unethical to postpone it since we already invited some close friends to join the discussion. Ooopss.. time to go. I need to go to a client to give system demonstration. I'll continue this later....

STRESS – unhealthy ways to reduce weights

One of my officemate whom I haven’t seen for a month visited my office and told me that I did lost some weights. Well that's music to my ear but I'm not really into dieting lately. Yes I do circuit workout every weekend but after doing my exercise, I eat a lot LOL. But this is maybe because I'm so stress these past few days. Managing your time for family, school and work is really not easy. But after getting everything done, fulfillment awaits. Good thing my trip to Cebu was postponed because our sales team is still negotiating our proposal to the client. Boss called yesterday and told me to construct another application for a telecom client located at one of the provinces in Manila. Hmmm I don’t have to worry, my girls are the best. We can handle the challenge *wink*. I'll be attending my Marketing Management class tonight. I'm actually one of the reporters. We made some preparation lat night together with my group mates. Hope it will be a smooth class discussion. We also plotted our timeline last night, gossshhh hope we could manage it all. Our days are too busy but I'll never ever neglect my family. How could I neglect my source of strength? Glad they're very supportive. I really did enjoy my MBA days and my new found friends. Hope they're still there after graduation day. I'm going to miss them all for sure.

Promoting another site


Hello. Studying MBA really makes me become business minded. I have lots of plans particularly putting up a small business here in our place. Even here online, I've intended to generate more income as compared to my previous earnings. I'm promoting another site which I'll be constructing today during my lunch break. Filipino people nowadays are really fond of forwarding text messages well even myself I send messages to my friends from time to time. Messages like jokes, morning greetings, afternoon greetings and a lot more. As I browse my mobile this morning, I noticed that my inbox is already out of space so I really need to delete some of the messages. But I'm kind of hesitant deleting it since they were sweet and inspiring. So I came up with the idea to store it somewhere and delete it in my mobile’s inbox. This urges me to create another website where I could store it from time to time. In this manner I could still have the copies and the good thing about it is I'll be sharing those thoughts to the readers like you via web. Another thing also is it will become another means of generating additional income online. It will surely require extra effort and time but it will bring glory at end. Hope you will support it also. GOD Bless!

I am learning to let go...

These past few months I've been battling with some emotions that I myself couldn't understand what I'm going through and why it has to be felt that way. After considering some aspects, I finally manage myself to teach the art of letting go. What I've been through was indeed quite hard to handle. Suppressing a feeling that constantly growing is torturing. But I'm happy now that it will soon be ended because I know now how to control it. I've been justifying lots of things lately and it gave me a conclusion that things may not turn out to be the way I've wanted but I could learn to embrace what I have now by truly knowing its essence and value. And that’s when I become truly very happy. I'm so lucky that GOD gave me my treasures in life and it's a gratitude that I will put in my heart for the rest of my life. I'm happy now that those mixed feelings are now settling and finally know where it's place, know what is right and what is wrong. What's important now is I will treasure all precious moments that I have with people that I value and treasure every minute of the day. Glad I'm doing fine now.
