New life, New Path

2011-06-20T03:38:00.002+08:00

Wow! there's a lot of changes that had happened to me in the start of 2011. I left my company for 5 years because of some senseless issue with my boss and his allies.

I just realized and felt that I wasted my 5 years. My previous employer doesn't give me importance at all! After all the things that I've done for the company. Yeah, I know he has favorites, he gives all the perks to that person/s.

But anyway moving forward, I'm starting my own career in a BPO company. Hope I could get the hang of shifting schedules and also all the stress! :) but im thinking positively for this one. I'll keep my fingers crossed! :D I met a lot of good people too. Being on a training is such a great experience. Hope we all pass! I will definitely miss my wavemates. If we will passed the training, we will be scattered from different teams.

'till next time... xoxo janey ^_^

Cebu Extreme Adventure!

2010-09-26T12:54:00.014+08:00

It's been awhile since my last post.. I've been quite a busy gal lately.. No time for my blog. But today I had a time to sit down and put my fingers on my keyboard :)

This trip is super extreme.. as in extreme sa kapaguran.. at sa adventure. :)

This is my first time in Cebu and we had so much fun.

August 15 and 16, 2o1o.

First day - going to Bantayan Island

1 hr plane ride.. and 2 hours road trip to Hagnaya Port.

We arrived at Santa Fe port around 1 pm.

Sta fe port arrival :)

Welcome to Bantayan Island.

We had lunch to one of the restaurants outside the resort :) after that Island Hopping time ^_^

Preparing for Snorkeling

Left to right - Jess, Jessa, Shirl, Amay, Me (Janey), Paolo, Marie and Joan

2nd day will be posted soon :)

Bicol Adventure

2010-05-31T21:11:00.025+08:00

We had a 3days and 2 nights vacation at Naga Cit, Bicol .

May 15, 2010

Arrival at Naga City 6.30am

Cebu Pacific (we wasnt able to get a promo fair, sayang!)

Another way to enjoy the trip is by land transportation.. you can also take bus to Naga. :)

Me, Shirl, Jess, Roan, Jem and Amie.

DAY 1

From Naga airport, we were fetch by Coach bus to CWC (Camarines Water Sports) Complex.

The place is so nice, clean and lots of water sports activities and free wifi! :)

We check-in at Cabana. There's a lot to choose from, they also have The Villa Del Rey Tikki Huts; Wood Cabins; Containers; Cabanas, Eco Village, Villas and Mansion Suites. Too many to choose from that surely fit to your budget :) - each room is good for 2 person and 1 extra person.

We were like a child, haha we play around the water inflatables. Shirleen almost got drowned (take note with life vest! hahaha) the life guard even told her "ma'am san po ba punta nyo? kanina ko pa kayo tinitingnan hindi kayo gumagalaw eh") hahaha.

Unfortunately we wasn't able to try the famous water sports in camarines sur, the wakeboarding.. so sad. (tulog kasi ng tulog ayan.. dumami yung pila sa beginners area hindi na sila nag papasok). But we promise to try it next time! hehe (sana makabalik kami). But the good thing is.. I saw Geoff Eigenman wahh grabe I'am super starstruck with him. I don't usually make "pa-picture" to any showbiz personality. but when I saw Geoff, I ask my friend "picture, picture with geoff" hahaha and my friend shirl said to me "talaga??!! papapicture ka??!!" and I said yes! hahaha and then when we were near to Geoff... I couldn't ask for picture! haha I chicken out! hahaha nilagpasan ko lang sya.. and my friend behind me.. laughing.. and they said "pa picture ah" hahahaha

Dinner time.. We decided to eat our dinner outside CWC and try the Bob Marlie's Grill located at Magsaysay road (tama ba jem?) :)

~ end ~

DAY 2

We were fetch by Kuya (forgot his name) from Rex Inn(Caramoan) at 3am from CWC. 2hrs ride from CWC to port and we were all fell asleep.. (ang aga ba naman kasi gumising). From Port another 2 hrs rides in the ferry. at Caramoan port, Kuya Dennis (from Rex Inn) welcome us. and another 15 minutes ride to Rex Inn. (grabe ang dami palang byahe, at hindi ko yun napansin in fairness kasi palagi lang tulog hehe).

Fall down

2010-04-23T23:34:00.003+08:00

Sometimes... you thought you're heading in the right path.. but in the middle of it.. you'll get stucked out of nowhere..

Just like in love.. You thought he is the one.. pero hindi naman pala.. Ouch...

Emo mode today.. :(

fly or not to fly

2010-03-25T19:37:00.004+08:00

I'm confused.. I don't know which path should I take?

I need a space to grow and I need to be independent.. I hope and I pray that my plans for this year will be push through.. or may be by next year.. if circumstances does not permit my plans for this year.. Even though it would be a lot harder for me.. new adjustments and other stuff.. I think I'm ready enough to handle that situation.. and I wanted to do this for my family and for myself..

and I always keep in mind that we should always Remind ourselves how much fun it would be to attain our goal. When the WHY is strong, the How doesn't matter.

GoodLuck to me!! :D

Office Drama

2010-03-17T15:54:00.002+08:00

I think every employee experience every now and then office drama.. It is how you manage it...

-Give your employees Good Benefit Package.

Cash is not enough today to recruit and retain top talent for your business. Providing an attractive benefits plan is just as important.

While the costs can be exorbitant and the choices overwhelming, you can and should find ways to build a benefits program that works for your company.

*Find out what your employees want

It's critical to recognize just how important a competitive benefits package can be in recruiting the best staff possible. Gone are the days when salary in and of itself was lure enough.

"Competitive organizations, whether they are big or small, with benefits programs will be able to attract employees away [from you] -- especially if you don't provide the most fundamental programs such as health care, disability insurance and things like that. It's almost mandatory,"

The next step in providing a winning benefits program is to find out what your group is looking for. It's possible that subsidized or free parking could be more important to them than life insurance. You should know the needs of each employee.

10 Signs He's Not the One

2010-01-29T13:17:00.009+08:00

Some people say they "just knew" that they were dating their future spouse. But what about the rest of us? What happens when you're not sure if he's The One? If you're considering long-term commitment or marriage, it's time to ask yourself some tough questions. Below, 10 signs that may indicate he's not for you.

1. You have a list of things he needs to stop doing/saying/wearing if he wants your relationship to work. If you're fixating on his flaws, he's either not the one you want or you're not ready for a serious relationship. Cutting him loose allows you time to grow and gives you the opportunity to meet a guy whose flaws you can embrace -- or at least accept.

2. You don't trust him. A small dose of jealousy can be healthy, but if you're hacking into his email account, and going berserk when he goes out without you, something's wrong. If there's something about him that truly warrants your distrust, then perhaps he's not the right one for you.

3. You avoid conflict at any cost. Fighting is healthy. And, when done right (in the non-accusatory, rational sort of way), it can be a great way to air grievances, fix problems in your relationship, and come to a deeper understanding of each other. Ignoring problems is not the same as having no problems at all... even if it looks that way.

4. When you're sad, you don't turn to him for comfort.When you're a giant ball of tears and snot, do you lock yourself into the bathroom so he can't see you at your worst? If you're worried about scaring him away, one of you isn't ready for total commitment. Mr. Right should make you smile through your tears and be a calming, not stressful, presence.

5. One of you is struggling with an addiction. He's sweet. He's exciting. He loves you very much. But he loves his alcohol habit or his weekly gambling fix more. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you can change him or that your relationship will be strong enough to withstand the heartache that addiction will inevitably bring. An addict may be able to change, but he'll do so on his own terms.

6. You can't really imagine him as the father of your children. Ask yourself: Would he make a great parent? Is he financially responsible? Would he be an equal partner in your future together? If you have doubts, he's probably not the one.

7. Your long-term, non-negotiable goals in life are incompatible. You want kids; he doesn't. You go to church every week; he's an atheist. He lives in the country and doesn't want to move; you can't imagine ever leaving the city. Superficial differences can be overcome, but differences in basic values are harder to smooth over. Ask yourself: "Would I be willing to compromise on this?" If the answer is absolutely not, you may not be right for each other.

8. You don't respect each other. He puts you down in front of your friends and complains about you to his parents. You roll your eyes when he talks because there's just something about him that embarrasses you. A relationship without respect can't sustain itself.

9. You're not attracted to him. Physical intimacy is a hugely important component of a romantic relationship. If he doesn't do it for you, he's probably not your best long-term match.

10. On paper he seems great, but you have this strange feeling... Don't ignore your gut. You may get along on a superficial level, but if your instincts are telling you he's not the one for you, listen. That little voice inside your head does not lie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are just tips, there are still different approach to look for the "one". The most important thing is that you love him and he loves you more :)

How not to feel humiliated when dining alone (just saw this article in yahoo)

2010-01-21T15:14:00.003+08:00

you’re single, travel for business, or just enjoy savoring a meal without small talk, you’ve probably had the experience of dining alone. This can be immensely pleasurable or incredibly daunting, depending on your temperament and overall approach.

1. Be Bookish. Always come armed with reading material. Having something to read not only keeps you from getting bored but also serves as a shield against waitstaff pity or unwanted conversational overtures from fellow patrons. Keep in mind that certain reading choices are better than others due to their portability and fold-ability (good: Sports Illustrated bad: War and Peace). In fact, frequent dining alone might be the real motivation for investing in a Kindle – although be wary of spilled beverages!

2. Try The Bar. For many would-be solo diners, the fear of being surrounded by lovey-dovey couples or raucous groups can be prohibitive. Requesting a seat at the bar is a good solution: Most restaurants will serve the full menu, bar seating is casual and low-profile, and you're likely to be surrounded by other content singletons.

3. Exude Confidence. Stride up to the host or hostess and proudly request your table. Never shrug or say, “just me” as though you’re apologizing. It takes guts to eat alone, and you should command the respect you deserve.

4. Eavesdrop. People in restaurants tend to be drinking, which often results in loud talking, over-sharing, bawdy jokes, or bitter marital brawls. Either way you can (discreetly) listen in on proximate tables and gain valuable insight into the human condition. Bonus points for detecting awkward first-time Internet dates.

5. Befriend Your Blackberry. Most of us are borderline addicted to checking our Blackberries or mobile phones. While it’s impolite to do this in the company of others, it's an absolutely acceptable activity when you’re dining alone: Reading the news, checking your Twitter feed, fondly reading old emails from loved ones, or scanning your secret crush’s Facebook page...the wireless possibilities are endless.

6. Go, Team! Even if you’re not terribly into sports, if there’s a game playing, become a fan for the evening. You’ll be surprised how an entranced gaze up at the screen now and then will give you a sense of purpose, as will a well-timed groan of defeat or hearty fist-pumping “Yes!”

7. Think Like A Food Critic. Pretend you are reviewing the restaurant. Observe the nuances of each course, take in the presentation, note the faults and strengths of the décor and keep a sharp eye on the service. This puts you in a position of judgment – always empowering.

8. Life Is Short, Enjoy The Steak. Finally, remember to relax, enjoy yourself, and focus on the positives of solo dining. Just think: There will be no quibbling over who pays, no awkward pauses, and no drawn-out discussions about your companion's relationship or work problems. You really can be your own best dinner date.

~~~~~~~~~

This one would be a big help for me. I always have a dilemma in dining alone. At least now, I have a few tips in mind if ever I would dine alone. (kakalungkot kasi kumain magisa).haaayy...

Welcome 2010

2010-01-08T00:33:00.002+08:00

Wow! it's been awhile since the last time I wrote something here, so many things had happened.. 2009 is a roller coaster ride for me. There are up's and down's. But still I thank God for all the blessings that he had given me last year.

Another year had passed, and another year to start. I don't know if where will I be in 2010. I have lots of plans, BIG PLANS. I hope and I pray that this will be push through this year. (I'm crossing my fingers).

I hope this year, I could spend more time with my friends and family.

New year = New travel destination (equation coming from my friend shirl) :)

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-01T19:00:00.002+08:00

Trick or Treats.. Costume Parties.. Reunion.. Going to Cemetery.. and others - this things are normally what people do during Halloween season.

But for me.. I'll just go to church (Loreto church) tomorrow to visit my lola. Today, I just stay at home. Yaya for today to bea (super duper kulit grabe).. watched the 500 days of summer and play cafe world :) .

Happy Halloween! Happy All Saints Day and Happy All souls Day!

500 days of summer

2009-11-01T16:57:00.003+08:00

I just watched the movie 500 days of summer. Very cute movie.. and very true..

One of the memorable line is that Rachell (Tom's sister) said to him.. "Tom, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Next time you look back, I think you should look again." - I think sometimes; we don't see the real thing, when we look back; we just remember the good times and forget the bad times. We couldn't see that there is really a problem. We always think that we are okay. It is good for awhile.. but i don't think it would be good for a person who wants to move on.

another line is when summer and tom is talking at the park (2nd to the last scene) - When summer told tom, " It was meant to be.. and I just keep thinking.. Tom is right.. It just wasn't me that you weren't right about." -- Reality really bites; but if that could makes us happy. We need to face the reality.

You have a lot of charm today and your attraction index is powerful. -- ahhheemmm.. abangan ko nga tomorrow.. malay natin.. hehehe

And according to one of the quiz that I took in FB which is What does your soulmate's name start with? and the result is "J" -- grabe napaka coincident naman.. my friends always tells me na yung mga nakadate ko and yung mga crush ko always start with the letter J! hahaha grabe kaloka. :)

10 Things You Need to Know About your Prospects

2009-01-07T17:29:00.002+08:00

1. Your prospects need you. Do you imagine that by promoting yourself, you are intruding on or interrupting your prospect? Are you thinking, “They won’t want what I have,” or “They’ve probably already got someone.” Well, as Stock Photography Guru, Rohn Engh, likes to say, “At this very moment, your prospects are waiting for you.” Whether it’s true about a specific prospect is irrelevant; if you approach each prospect with that frame of mind, you’ll make a better presentation.

2. Your prospects want to look good. Things are kind of scary out there. No matter the industry, from copywriting to graphic design, things aren’t the way they used to be — not for you and not for them. So what they want from you, over and above what they’re asking for, is that you make them look good; that’s your real job.

3. Your prospects are, well, lazy. That means you have to do some of their work: help them find you, help them contact you and then, of course, help them work with you. The fewer obstacles they have to surpass, the more likely they are to follow through, and the more likely you are to get the work.

4. Your prospects have got a lot going on. Don’t lose sight of their big picture. In the office, there are interruptions galore. They can’t get anything accomplished, their desk is a disaster area, their voice mailbox is jammed, their e-mail is stacking up. In a word, things are out of control. You are just one of the many things they are trying to focus on. Now try to ask: why aren’t they calling me back?

5. Your prospects act on impulse. We all do this: we see something interesting, we get excited, we call for information and when it comes, we put it in a pile. Determine as quickly as possible if you’re dealing with an impulse inquiry and waste as little time as possible with them. But don’t write them off entirely; just put them on your quarterly mailing list and let them come back to you. Real needs and desires will stand the test of time.

6. Your prospects need to pigeonhole you. Although you hate it, let them do it; in fact, help them. Give them a box to put you in, and a label to put on your box. (I’m speaking figuratively here.) There’s plenty of time to tell them more later about your full range of services.

7. Your prospects may not know what they need. Listen to them and provide a solution to their self-defined needs. Offer a few alternatives for them to choose from. If necessary, explain, without trying to persuade, why what they say they want might not be the best thing for them. Then, let them decide.

8. Your prospects need time. It’s not always a put off. Believe them when they say they have to think about it, or that they have to sell the idea to someone else. We all need time to think, time to get ready, to adjust, to clear our plate. Give them the time they ask for, and then keep in touch, reminding them that they were interested. And remember that some things will never come to fruition. That’s life.

9. Your prospects are people. Your relationships are not with companies; like it or not, they’re with human beings. And relationships are more important now than ever because, with everyone moving around, you better believe they’re taking the Rolodex (or Blackberry) along.

10. Your prospects are just like you and me. Don’t forget: you are a prospect to someone out there too. Which defenses do you use? How do you want to be treated when someone is marketing to you? How often do you want someone calling? How much freedom and time would you like to have to think about a product, to ask questions and to make your decision? How do you want to feel about the process when it is over?

Happly Holidays

2008-12-26T22:19:00.002+08:00

Five top tips for Marketing Success

2008-11-07T13:37:00.002+08:00

by Philip Kotler

1. Come in under the radar

"Building a brand is a roll-out process, not a drop everywhere in the world at one time. Do you know what the best selling imported beer is in the United States? It's Corona. Who would expect a beer from Mexico to be popular? The fact is it's a terrific beer. But they didn't just come to the U.S. and put it everywhere. They went to the cities with a Mexican population -- Los Angeles, Chicago, New York -- and then they put it in restaurants and stores there. The key to brand-building is to have something good that you roll-out in a very intelligent way. Maybe even invisibly for a while because you want to be under the radar screen of competitors."

2. Know your customer

"There are still too many CEOs who identify marketing with selling and advertising. But marketing has evolved to be not only product centered but customer centered. We are saying you've got to understand and choose the customers you want to serve. Don't just go after everyone. Define the target market carefully through segmentation and then really position yourself as different and as superior to that target market. Don't go into that target market if you're not superior.

"We are trying to make the case that it's much more important for a company to be customer-centric than product-centric. The same customer you have for product X, may be available for product Y and Z and so on. And you won't know that if you have separate product managers, each only concerned with selling his or her product."

3. Own your branding

"We are not in a state of competition anymore; we're in a state of hyper-competition. So people are desperately looking for handles -- functional features, emotional appeals -- that will draw people to their product. We should think of owning a word or a phrase that helps to build customer retention and loyalty. Look at how we buy the Mercedes because it's the best engineered car. We buy a BMW because it's the best driving performance. We buy the Volvo because it's the safest automobile. A lot of these companies lose that edge too, but they don't lose the impression."

4. Stay ahead of the competition

"The worst thing is that if something works, your competitors are going to clone it and before you know it anything that you had as a differentiator is imitated by the others. So you're in the business of constant innovation. Constantly asking yourself, 'Three years from now, what will our differentiator be?'
"I had the CEO of a large company approach me and ask me to sign a copy of my book, which I always do, but this was a first edition from 1967. I looked at the book and I said I won't sign it. 'Why not?' he asked. I said, 'That book is from before there was the Internet. It has very little on branding, so I think it's useless.' At which point he said to me, 'Are you trying to sell me a new copy?' And I said, 'Yes, but it's not for my benefit-- I don't need the money." Markets change, so marketing has to change."

5. Make it an experience

"Once in a while we find someone having a whole new approach to a mature market. Starbucks is a very good example where coffee is coffee but they decided to sell it differently, put a higher price, make it good-tasting and make it an experience rather than just some coffee. In fact, I've heard that if Starbucks closed its shops, a lot of people would go crazy. They are in such a habit of going to the Starbucks before work, taking the coffee, and they'd become desperate otherwise.

"There's a big movement to say, 'we're not just adding services to our business and our product, we're actually trying to design an experience.' You'll see that language being used. We're in the experience design business."

from www.cnn.com

Finally I have decided..

2008-10-28T09:55:00.003+08:00

Maybe were better be as friends na lng.. mas ok.. walang hassle at walang pressures.. I think your not the right guy that I'm waiting for. Ok naman tayo as Friends.. so be it..

Surprisingly... I got a message

2008-09-28T19:32:00.003+08:00

Sept 27, 2008

Surprisingly I got a message from him.. As If walang ngyari.. He even asking If hindi na ako busy.. Bigla ko tuloy naisip ko kung kasalan ko ba kaya naging ganun..dahil hindi ako nakapunta sa event nya the last time he invited me?

Parang it's not how I see it.. parang sya kaya ang bigla nalang nawalan ng time... and if ever na nagtampo sya for that certain invitation that I wasnt able to come.. parang sobrang shallow naman nun.. Kapag sya naman I accept his excuses.. pero ako isang beses lang naging ganun na kagad?

He even said that he miss me.. parang hindi ko gusto maniwala.. pero at the back of my mind gusto din.. haaayyy bahala na.. this time ill take it one step at a time.. kung hindi pwede eh d hindi.. that's it.. sabi nga ng isang friend ko we are matured enough to play such games..

Where am I?

2008-09-26T12:57:00.003+08:00

Sobrang gulo ng isip ko today.. hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Bigla na lng naging ganun? Nagalit ka ba dahil hindi ako nakapunta?

Haaaayyy.. Whatever.. basta ang alam ko wala akong ginawang masama..

If that's the case and that would be the end..

so that's it!

siguro nga nagassume ako..

cguro nga hindi dapat..

wonderfull tuesday night

Nagkita kami ni "R" at gateway around 6pm. dahil late sya nabasa ko na ata lahat g libro sa fully booked (dun kasi kami magmeet).

we ate at Pizza hut bistro at gateway. treat nya daw sa akin para makabawi sya sa pagiging late nya.. (artist kasi si 'R" - photographer, painter etc. all things related to art ginagawa ata nya).

ayun during dinner napagusapan namin ata yung mga nangyari nung highschool pa kami. puro tawanan. mga nakakatawang bagay nung highschool, ung mga impression namin sa isat isa atbp.

after dinner nagsimba kami sa Immaculate concepcion sa my new york (cubao) before the mass start pinagtitinginan namin yung mga magbf na naghaharutan at ginagawan namin ng script hehehe..

pagkatapos ng mass dumaan kami dun sa malapit na gallery.. sayang kasi sarado.. hindi kami nakapasok.. kasamahan daw kasi nya yung featured artist dun..

Ayun ok naman.. umuwi sya ng mga 11pm. nagtext kami hanggang pag uwi nya.. hanggang dun lang.. wala pa kasunod.. kasi hindi ko pa din namn alam kung ano pa ang mangyayari.. hanggang sa muli.. salamat. =)

Wow Bohol!

2008-08-13T20:39:00.030+08:00

Grabe sobrang nice ng experience ko last weekend.. I spend my weekend at Bohol.

Departure from manila - tagbilaran is Friday (8-8-08) 8:00am Arrival is 9:45am

NAIA Terminal 3 (Cebu Pacific) - Ang ganda ng bagong airport.. parang sa ibang bansa.. sobrang laki kasi compared to other 2 Airports..

1 st day at Bohol (8-8-08)

Arrival at Tagbiliran City Airport

Our Tour Guide/ Driver pick us up at the Tagbilaran City airport at around 9:45am (Kuya Jun Comodoy - sobrang nice and very )

We had our day tour.

First stop at Blood Compact. (Legazpi and Si Katuna)

With the Statue of of Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna plus the overview of Panglao Island. Breathtaking scenery.

Tagbilaran, specifically the district of Bool, witnessed the forging of the first international treaty of peace and friendship between two nations of different race and creed. On that fateful day of March 16, 1565, Captain General Miguel Lopez de Legaspi of the Spanish expedition and Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain of Bohol, sealed their friendship in a native ritual, the Blood Compact. As is the native custom at that time, the two sealed their friendship through the shedding of blood wherein both draw two to three drops of blood from their arms, mix the blood with the wine and then equally drank from the cup. Other historians say that the blood-wine mixture was divided equally between the two and then they both drank the contents up to the last drop.

Baclayon Church (2nd oldest Church in the Philippines)

It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church

Only in 1717, Baclayon became a parish, and construction of a new church commenced. Some 200 native forced laborers constructed the church from coral stones, which they took from the sea, cut into square blocks, and piled on to each other. They used bamboo to move and lift the stones in position, and used the white of a million eggs as to cement them together. The current building was completed in 1727. The church obtained a large bell in 1835. In the Baclayon church is a dungeon, which was used to punish natives who violated the rules of the Roman Catholic church.

Next to the church is the old convent, which also houses a small museum with centuries-old religious relics, artifacts and other antiquities, dating back to the 16th century. Included in the collection are an ivory statue of the crucified Christ looking towards heaven; a statue of the Blessed Virgin, said to be presented by Queen Catherine of Aragon; relics of St. Ignatius of Loyola, old gold embroidered ecclesiastical vestments, books with carabao skin covers, and librettos of church music written in Latin on sheep skins. Here you can also find the cuadro paintings made by the Filipino painter Liberato Gatchalian in 1859

We also pass by to Alburquerque Church and Cathedral of San José

Loboc River

Lunch time. We had our early lunch at Loboc River to the famous floating resto. (With their Buffet Lunch Php 350 - solve na solve na sya)

Chocolate Hills (Entrance Fee Php 25.00)

Tarsier

I forgot the name of the place but we passed by to man made Forrest before we got to tarsier place..

They are so cute. I think their size is just like our fist close. According to the care taker, they could live up to 25 years. They do not bite but if you attack them they will attack you also. They are also one of our endagered species here in the Philippines. So we must protect them before it's too late.

The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes has it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao in the Philippines.

Class :Mammalia
Order:Primates
Suborder: Prosimii/Haplorrhini
Infraorder:Tarsiiformes
Superfamily: Tarsioidea

Day 2

Spend all day at the beach. We had our resort accommodation at Dumaluan Beach Resort (this is the nearest resort to Bohol Beach Club)

Super ganda ng Beach most specially at Bohol Beach Club.. panginternational ang service and facilities. Sulit ang entrance fee (consumable pa sya).

The sand is so fine.. Super clear water, hindi rin sya sobrang maalat.

You'll love the place! I love Bohol =)

Picture will be posted soon =)

Thank you!

2008-08-02T19:28:00.003+08:00

Improvising Your Approach to Improvement

2008-07-17T16:34:00.000+08:00

by Dr. John C. Maxwell

Our well-being and happiness are tied to the notion that our lives can improve. We hope for a better future for our company, our kids, and ourselves. We dream of a tomorrow that's better and brighter than today.
Here are a few improvements many of us desire to see:

We hope to lose weight and improve our fitness
We hope to earn more money and improve our financial standing
We hope to argue less with our spouse and improve our marriage

Over the next year, if we knew our health would deteriorate, our economic situation would worsen, and our closest relationships would unravel, then we'd be depressed. In fact, even if we knew our lives would stay the same, most of us would feel unsatisfied. We're always looking to improve the quality of our lives - it's human nature.
Unfortunately, many of us never go beyond hoping for improvements to actually making them. In this lesson, I'd like to share some insights to help you improvise your approach to improvement.

Develop Habits

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Leaders who make successful improvements share a common denominator: they form habits of daily action that those who fail to improve never develop. As my friend Andy Stanley says, "Your direction determines your destination." The steps you make each day, for good or ill, eventually chart the path of your life.

Consider the analogy of saving for retirement. Financial advisers counsel us to invest for retirement early in our careers and consistently throughout life. If we do, we can quit working at 65 with a sizeable nest egg. However, if we neglect funding our 401(k) each month, then we end up with nothing. We may still "hope" to win the lottery and secure our financial future, but we've lost the ability to control our fate.

Befriend Discipline

We live in the ultimate quick-fix culture. Everyone wants to be thin, but few people eat healthy and exercise. Everyone wants financial stability, but many refuse to be bothered by a budget. Rather than trouble ourselves with discipline, we opt for diet fads or speculate in the stock market. When we don't see long-term improvements, we discard one fad in favor of another.
In life, there are two kinds of pain: the pain of self-discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of self-discipline involves sacrifice, sweat, and delayed gratification. Thankfully, the reward of improvement softens the pain of self-discipline and makes it worthwhile. The pain of regret begins as a missed opportunity and ends up as squandered talent and an unfulfilled life. Once the pain of regret sets in, there's nothing you can do other than wonder, "What if?"

Admit Mistakes

When trying to improve, we not only risk failure, we guarantee it. The good news is that mistakes generally teach us far more than success. There's no sense pretending we're perfect. Even the best of the best have moments of weakness. That's why it's important to be honest when we fall short, learn from the mistake, and move forward with the knowledge gained.

Measure Progress

You cannot manage what you cannot measure. Identify the areas in which improvement is essential to your success and find a way to track your progress. Keeping score holds you accountable and gives you a clear indicator of whether or not you're actually improving.
Change Continually

Continual change is essential for improvement. One of the great paradoxes of success is that the skills and qualities that get you to the top are seldom the ones that keep you there. The quest to improve forces us to abandon assumptions, embrace innovation, and seek new relationships. If we're complacent for too long, we'll fall behind the learning curve. Once this happens, it's a steep, uphill climb to get back to the top.
The desire for improvement has a degree of discontent in it. Personal growth requires apparently contradictory mindsets: humility to realize you have room to grow but also confidence that improvement is possible.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

2008-06-05T16:21:00.002+08:00

From the Book of Stephen R. Convey. Book for Personal Effectiveness.. Just want to share this to all..
Summary of the 7 habits for highly effective people

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Change Starts from within, and highly effective people make the decisions to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.

Habit 2: Begin with the End of Mind

Develop a Principle - centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement in long - term goals based on Personal Principles.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.

Habit 4: Think win/win

Seek agreements and relationship that are mutually beneficial. In case where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be understood

First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood (according to covey this is the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the len's of one's own experience. Rather, putting oneself in the perspective of the other persons, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.

Habit 6: Synergize

Through trustful communication, find ways to levergae individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take time out from productions to build production capacity through personal renewal of the Physical, Mental, Social/Emotional, and Spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.

The 5 things we can do to clean up our act (from KC)

2008-02-11T16:49:00.000+08:00

I saw this to her multiply.. I find it usefull to me.. so it could guide me to be a better 'Jane' this year.

1. the guts to eat the right stuff. junk tastes gooood but try drinking as much water as you can. then watch what you take in cos it can make you or break you. an electric juicer is still the best tool for gulping up the desired, but often dreaded, greens

Note: According to a nutritionist I know, malunggay supposedly has 3x more calcium than milk and 7x more vitamin C than orange juice
TIP: don't make the mistake of trying to process fresh malunggay into a shot glass... malakas pala tama nun para kang nag tequila!!! you'll be hit by a serious migraine, cold sweats and a possible fainting fit.

2. get out of your comfort zone... do something. do one thing every week that scares you. slap yourself when you get crazy lazy & it's not an official holiday. shake your boo-tay when you like the music you hear, cos angels aside, you are down and depressed sometimes! think of what, in the 9 lives of a cat, you believe in... you have to believe in SOMETHING... make yourself useful. puwera plastikan.

3. compliment someone (and mean it). I read this somewhere before and it's so great. there isn't a snowball's chance in hell you wouldn't get a kick out of it-- it works with anyone cos everyone is somewhat vain and wants a compliment! how bout saying THANK YOU to someone... or making a peace offering... there has to be someone you haven't talked to in a while? make peace, not war. make loooove, not war.

4. find something to LIKE. a new film? song? out of the box idea? a new dream job? a new tambayan? something about your PAST? laugh. try it now, smile. makes you feel good already i'm sure. laugh cos something's funny, laugh cos you find something ridiculous. laugh cos it's good for you. laugh cos you can.

5. never allow anyone to say you don't have a BACKBONE. take a break. know when & why you have to be fair to yourself. know how to cry whether out of relief or remorse. know when something is hurting you. know when something is an act of truth or just an act, period. know when something is, or isn't, good for you. don't stress yourself out about it all... rest, and try to see why you should be proud of your decisions.

*wala namn masama if we will follow this .. ok naman sya ehh... :)

JAMPACKED!!!

2007-12-19T11:02:00.000+08:00

Grabe nakakaloka - December ito na ata ang pinaka jam pack na month for me e-include pa natin ang last day of November.. Let me start first nung mga last week of November..

November 28, 2007

My friend/officemate/sister/kaadikan partner textd me in the middle of the night, she said that she have to tell something important and serious take note of the word (kasi namn parati kami naggagaguhan nito..) to me.. grabe nung nakita ko un ng morning sobrang kinabahan ako.. at first in denial pa ako.. iniisip ko joke time lang.. pero at the back of my mind sinasabi nya na this time mukhang seryoso ito ahh.. we even went to the office together para mapilit ko lng na sabihin na nya sa akin.. pero ayun sabi nya may right time and place daw para sabihin un.. (kung si kuya eh si Mr. takdang panahon, itong isa eh Ms. Takdang panahon) Sobra, parang torture, kung anu-ano na ung naiisip ko. after office hour we went sa mall, bibili kasi kami ng mga kailangan for Sagada.. Ayun sabi nya magdinner muna kami, TIA MARIAS this is the place, to where it all happened.. Pagkaupo pa lng namin tinanong ko na.. Ayun, bigla nya sinabi.. Aalis na raw sya sa office.. at first parang indi ko maintindihan.. but when she begun to cry.. ayun na nga totoo nga ang hinala ko.. grabe parang nashock ako, ayoko umiyak pero d ko mapigilan, Nalungkot talaga ko ng sobra, pero im happy for her, kasi at least unti-unti nya tinutupad ung mga dreams nya in her own way. My feeling that time, gusto ko siya pigilan pero I know that's unfair on her part kasi para sa career nya un. kaya inisip ko na lng na hindi namn mapuputol ung friendship namin dahil lang aalis na sya sa office. Goodluck shirl! I hope you will find your Peronal Legend.

Death...

2007-10-26T15:03:00.001+08:00

October 25, 2007
Thursday

It was a fine day with a little bit of rain shower. I took a bus going to Alta Monte. House of my best buddy (yans). For others it was just another day, doing your routinely chores but with their family, it is the day that they would pray and remember the things happen to their late father Edwin Chebat (tito ed for most of us). The day start with lots of work in the kitchen. Tita mely cook for all the visitor for the "padasal" (it is a tradition to us Filipino).

11:55 am visitor arrived (family, friends and colleagues), we start for the "padasal". As we pray, I look to tita mely, I was surprised she's crying, after a year she's still grieving from her husband's death. You may see her in ordinary days as cheerful as it may seem but deep inside she's still longing for her husband's embrace, talks and other stuff that they shared when he is still alive.

From most of us, death is the very saddest and painful experience in life. I also admit I'm a afraid of death not for myself but for my love ones. but we may accept it or not we will be going their in our own destined time. We just have to be ready for it and enjoy the life that we have and be thankful to the Lord our God.

~May He's good soul rest in Peace and be in God's Kingdom~

Super Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why sometimes we are hurt of the things that we should not thinking about?... why sometimes even though you thought that you already part his or her life your still just someone to him or her?? you feel left out.. you've done everything for him/her despite all of that you are taken from granted.. have you ever noticed that the more you treat someone, the more that someone takes you for granted?... because they think you won't ever change... :( It's hard to assume your position on somebody's life.. You might be expecting too much.. too far from reality.. we have to learn to weigh the situation and know where you stand and keep things in balance.. This things applies in love and in friendship.. i think the best thing to do is never ever assume.. but never too insensitive.. I know it quite difficult but that's reality.. we have to learn to accept it or else you might be in big trouble...

I went to soyuex with amie, babalik sana ako because of my hair na pinarebond.. kaso mukang indi sya rebonded.. kaya aun.. baka meron paremedyo kaya i tried my luck.. unfortunately wala dun ung stylist ko.. si ate annie day off nya.. kaya ang end si amie na lng ang nagpacellophane..

After that we went to quiapo for "ukay-ukay or UK" shopping. Actually first time ko magukay-ukay ung as in mamimili ka, pero nakapasok na rin ako before sa baguio ung isang buong bldg. dun na puro UK. dumaan lang kami ng mga kasama ko. and before the UK escapade, we ate first palabok dun sa quiapo nakalimutan ko na ung pangalan nung kinainan namin.. but infairness ok namn ang taste ng food.. masarap.. P20 pesos lang busog ka na.. isama mo pa and P6 na pop cola.. solve na ang gutom.. hehehe sabi pa nga ni amie baka indi ako kumakain ng ganun.. sus un lang.. kahit ano naman basta wag lang masisira tyan ko hehehe pero first time ko kumain ng dine-in sa ganung place pero indi first time na makakain(we normally take-out our food kasi)..
We also went to a silver shop, we bought a necklace.. sana lang talaga indi sya fake hehehe.. sayang din kasi 300bucks din un..

at last after 2 stop over nakarating narin kami sa bldg. na sinsabi nya.. as in super dami nga.. (pero mas marami parin ung sa baguio at mas feeling ko mas magaganda tinda nila dun :) hehehe) first time ko magtagal sa UK store, mejo nakakasneeze kasi namn mga used cloths din namn un.. mejo maalikabok din pero carry lang pumili parin ako.. kasi namn kkhiya kay amie baka sabihin nya ang arte ko.. super tyaga namn kasi nya magahanap ehh.. at dun ko napatunayan na wala ako tyaga maghalukay ng damit.. cguro almost 3 hrs kami dun.. at last nakakita na sya ng damit nya after 3 hrs nakakuha sya ng 3 blouses hehehe grabe noh????? an tyaga nya!!! idol kita amie!!! hehehe meron din sya napili sa akin skirt.. sisley ang brand.. maganda namn sya ang cute ng design pero mukhang ang luwag sa akin.. kailangan pa ata iparepair un.. binili ko na rin kasi P55 lang namn ehh.. hanggang ngyn d ko pa nga nalalabhan.. hehehe nakaplastic pa rin sa bahay. :) that's actually may first cloth from UK.

after that sa labas naman kami namili.. ng salted eggs, beans, lansones, apples, bangus, mini danggit (mukhang danggit lang hehehe) and suman. we went to shirleen's haus after that, naabutan namin sya nanood ng dubai (we rent that video last nyt kasi gusto nya makita itsura ng dubai at baka mahikayat sya sumama s a bestfriend nya who is planning to work there) kaso she already have a decision before she watched that movie.. ganda namn nung muvi kakaiyak.. galing john lloyd and aga. :) bagay sila maging magkapatid. pagtapos manuod, pinaluto na namin kay shirl ung mga pinamili namn hehehe and then we share a sumptuous dinner hehehe sarap... while eating nanood pa ng "the devil wears prada". sarap uhmmmmm....

It was a good day.. shirl fetch me infront of index salon (it's at the back of my house).. go to tektite for the examination but before that we bought our breakfast first at mcdonalds drive tru.. of course her favorite sausage mcmuffin meal.. and additional hash brown for me.. hmm sarap hehe.. we also bought some for amie.. for sure she's hungry..

amayB. came 5 mins after the start of examination (part of my work - to proctor the examination for accountants) and mind you straight from gimik last nyt yan! Super tibay ni amayB. (i like to call her that way.. short for her fullname.. :p) and then ayun super chika na to what happened last nyt.. hehe.. and then indi rin tumagal bimigay din,.. she slept while me and shirl took pictures with her cap (cute kasi).

Then we went to Robinson to have our lunch.. Chicken Inasal.. its good but I prefer the chicken Inasal in Bacolod chicken.. (waaahh kagutom). After that we went to EDSA Shrine to attend the mass for Mama Mary (it's her Birthday) unfortunately there was no mass that time...(indi rin naabutan ni shirl na open ung aircon ng shrine hahaha) We watched the movie A Love Story after (yeah i know matagal na.. ngyn lng kami nagkatime manuod ulit ehh :p) My gosh this movie makes me cry like a baby.. especially when joana (maricel) cries in the cubicle waaahhhhh grabe as in! I can't stop crying!! grabe din kasi ung song.. kakaiyak sobra.. who would'nt cry in "Tell me of Joey Albert; grabe voice plang nya maiiyak ka na.. Lot's of quotable lines in the movie.. I'll share few of them (those that I remember) Carine - "Indi ko pinagsisihan na pinaglaban kita dahil dun ko nalaman kung gano kita minahal) Joana - " Don't worry I'll take care of you", "mahal na mahal kita" (actually may kadugtong yata un.. nakalimutan ko na.. hehehe) Ian - "Bingi ka ba o bingi ka" (hehehe), What if ikaw ang una kong minahal? (uhmm dats bad for the wife) Ian and his father - "there will never be another flower like her".

waaahh I woke up at around 10am.. recieved a text from J. a little chit chats. and then at the middle of our conversation he asked me out.. waaahhh i can't believe it.. I even ask him why??? He answered me naman.. He told me - "so i could know you better" waaahh super kilig even with that simple statement.. (indi pa namn sinabi na gusto ko ehh noh?? hahaha) but can you believed that I refused his invitation!!! waaahhhh (ewan ko din kung bakit maybe I'm just scared) Even my two closest friend asked me "why??" actually I really do'nt know the answer.. haaayy but honestly.. indi ako nanghihinayang.. cguro meron but konti lang.. :p maybe next time if he'll invite me again for a date susundin ko na advice nila.. (If there will be a next time) :(
In the afternoon, I went to AmayB.'s house to attend the sunday's mass with her, and then back to their house (dun narin ako nagdinner sarap ng food nabusog ako thanks amayB. hehehe).
