No! and Yes!

Wrote this while pissed off.. LOL.. September 9, 2016

NO! And Yes!
By me

No! you can't hurt me..
Though you're pulling me down..
I'll take this as a challenge..
And Yes! I'll stand tall and proud..

No! I won't quit..
Though i have a choice to flee..
I may be hurt and weak..
But Yes! I'll be strong to face your greed.

No! My fight will not end.
In this journey, only God can put me in a test.
You're nothing, but a figment of my pain.
And Yes! I can throw you away in vain!

Almost there

Almost there, a few steps and I'm on the right path. Unfortunately, destiny made a u-turn, in this crossroad I am into.

So torn and it felt and feels soooo bad. 

Do I have to record this as part of my learnings? Is this a way of saying that it is not yet my time to shine? If so, when and how can I be there? I only need a chance, a chance to show that I can.

But then again, destiny has a bitter way of saying that I have to wait. Patience is a virtue, a bitter pill i have to swallow.

Yeah, I know... crystal clear... it is not meant... i have to wait... don't stop me, i'll cry a river.

I wish i can be this positive... almost there.. yet happy.. can i?

Good Morning Post

Since I have nothing to do yet in my new work, I'll just post a few rants here for the mean time... LOL.

I just turned 36 a few weeks ago. Celebrated the day with my family and love one. Why is it, in this day and age, we don't want to celebrate birthdays anymore? LOL... is it because we don't want to know our age?

Partially true for me LOL, but i guess I came to the point that birthdays are just ordinary days. We can always stay happy, in love, and motivated everyday if we like to. Thus, everyday is special, more so, we need to be thankful for every single morning that we have.

Also, my mom told me that I need to have monetary savings soon. I told her I have investments (real estate, cars, etc) that is good as cash... But silently I believe her... I really need to have a saving. but it is too hard especially if you have expenses, investments, and wants.

Hays. I need to be uber rich ASAP.

LOL..

To end this rant, let's all have a great morning. Ciao.

Evolution of Management Thoughts Reflection Paper

Way back 1st semester of 2011, my Management Principles subject professor (this was for my PhD. in Management course), required us to compose a reflection paper about the evolution of management thoughts. So that time, i got excited because, you know, the features writer in me lingers for the keyboard.

I sat for hours to compose it, trying to make dotted and related thoughts about my topic. It required a lot of time, skill, and artistry to compose one... that's the reason why I BURST in ANGER knowing that my composition was stolen and being sold ONLINE!!!!!!!

hey!!! you are not paying me for my work!!!!! and the bad news here is that, i found multiple sites having my composition. Good thing, I placed my name in that paper!!!! 

what a shame.... please check below one of those who did such... hays...

Be confident!

I always question myself for the things I need to achieve in life. Most of the time I doubt myself, yelling at my ego if I am good enough. There are times that fear dominates me, instead of confidence. I self-destruct without prior notice or even just a scream.

But I never tell myself that I am perfect, just to minimize the pressure. I always consider my life as a work in progress, a story just reaching its peak. "Hey dude, it's ok to be afraid" said my ego. "Nobody's gonna kill you if you fail. Stand and be brave.", my ego explained.

So yeah, nobody can stop me for being who I am. I am not perfect but I strive to be the best that I can be.... no matter what...

So yeah, I am in a new work environment, but I'm confident that I can deliver. I am the best person to do the job.

It's just a matter of Time!

It's always a matter of time. You have time for yourself, career, family, fun, adventure. It’s not the matter of finding time for it. You have all the time in the world, you just need to manage and prioritize it.

When I was younger, I’ve been too careless about my future. I always tell myself that I am young and I have all the rights in the world to enjoy it. True enough, I had fun along that way. But it could have been better if I only tried to be more serious and direct.

Growing older made me realize that I need to value time. I always tell myself that I need to empty my bucket list. I always dream of travelling the world free of stress and worries. I realized I need financial freedom, as well as no one dictating what I have to do except God.

But those will just be a dream if I will not value time and put my right foot forward. I need to start now. I might not be successful in most of my wishes….. But at least I tried. That’s all that matters now. AJA!

Chasing Pavements

To be a general manager or country head is one of my ultimate career goals. I tried and applied for it before; and a couple of misses and near hits; yet I'm still positive I'll have it.

Was given a technology head post mid of 2014, but it did not turn well, and I found myself wanting to resign and find a better option.

and I did... early 2015.... then later, was given a Senior Manager role, yet... still not the dream job I always imagine..

when will I stop chasing pavements? I think the more i chase the rat, the more it will be gone.

hayz.. I'll just listen to Adele's angelic voice...

Vindication!

Suddenly, i got this urge of collecting "forgive and forget" quotes. Not because I want certain people to read this, but because all of these are self-realization and lessons I learned through out my years. More so, "vindication" is so sweet once coupled by forgiving and forgetting the past.

As they say, what goes around, comes around.

I feel very blessed. Thank you God for the experience.
