kaput: the forgotten post

this was in my drafts.. somehow, i wasnt able to post it.. ill post it as a reminder of my weakness. you may see me as this strong person, pero limitasyon din ang lahat. im doing great now.. thank you and no worries...

word of the day: kaput

kaput:: utterly defeated or destroyed, unable to function

started the day feeling hopeful and setting a good mood.sad to say, as the day progressed im am feeling more demotivated.i guess, im tired at kulang sa inspiration. i want to go home early and sleep all day.read my friends shoutout on skype today, it said something like this. sorry does not mean i would not do it again. also forgiveness does not mean for a second chance.

maybe this is God's way of telling me on how to end things. opps, where did that come from.i was pissed yesterday. totally pissed lahat na ata ng dugo ko umakyat sa ulo ko.someone was playing with my feelings. someone was taking advbantage of my weakness. you see, im the most sincere and emphatetic person you'll ever meet. however, that i think is also one of my weakness.

masyado din akong mabait. and i always see the good in people. but sometimes or most of the times, that is being used against me. i dont know why i deserved such treatment. pero maawa naman kayo! Hindi sa lahat ng oras ay game ako sa mga laro niyo. i think i need to refresh my art of war precepts.

the day has not ended yet. im still trying to keep that hopeful feeling nad keeping the faith. i will make it through. i know i will.

Note to thyself: never put too much trust on friends.

my first 21k marathon experience

np pictures taken. lowbatt ang camera namin. and pagod na rin after running for 2:26:18 mins! We woke up 2:30 AM this morning. buti na lang nakagising si apol. we had another drinking session last night. we had one of our friends from baguio come over. wala lang, just to have a party! we had at least 5 bottles each. i lost count. hindi pa naman ako sanay sa beer. after the third bottle, i can feel the dizziness. pero sige lang, go lang ng go. celebration of life, love and friendship ika nga. anyways, breakfast was around 2:45, took a bath and then nagpasundo na lang sa van. hinahanap na kasi nila kame. maaga pa naman ang gun start for 21k. good thing maaga nagstart ang race. race started 5:30 am. we started slow in running. averaging 9min/km.. then increasing our pace to 8km/min, then to 7km/min then 6km/min then finally stabilizing at a 7km.min pace. it helped that i had a pacer or my running buddy seth. he was the one who kept us going and going. i got lazyduring the first 10kms. i kept asking myself, bakit ko to pinasok. but i got inspired when we were already at the heritage park. thanks globe for the wonderful route map for the 21k. nung nakita kong im going on the 11th km, it got me pumped up.i kept running steadily for the next kilometers. good thing there were water and powerade stations for every 500m. that helped me avoid cramps during the entire race. although they say that during marathon, cramps is mind over matter. if its true or not, that's what i exactly did.

seth and i separated at the last 5 kilometers of the race. i also met andro along the way. nalagpasan ko sya. he got cramps na kasi. i on the other hand is not feeling that okay anymore. ive got my period at sa lahat pa ng araw para maghkaroon ng heavy flow, ngaun pa un. hayz! mejo nawala tuloy ang diskarte ko. pagdating ng buendia flyover, tinamad na ako tumakbo. sun was up already at hinndi ko na na-appreciate ang view. i did walk mostly until the last kilometer.

overall, it was a nice race, a good cause. once again, ive proven to myself that if i set my mind to something, i can do it. i finished the race in less than 3 hours in a true and fashionably style. cant wait to see the pictures! congratulations to team maxim. a job well done again. till next run.

flaming bob marley

been feeling low for the past 2 days.. na-boljack ng bossing for something that everyone is guilty of.. i just wished he had been more fair.. i didn't know that part of his job is to check my pc monitor and check if im always online on skype.. enough of that crap! Ive already flushed it down over liters of beer and cocktails.. teehehehe! sweetness!

Thursday night as spent on having dinner and drinks with friends. Friday night, same thing but on bing and veneers place. whats nice about it was we are a bunch of people from the office, some young, some old, some single, some married, some drinkers and others well, just picknicers? a refreshing night! a night fool of alaskahan, inuman and kainan. cocktail of the night was the flaming bob marley. similar with blow job but we used grenadine,creme de menthe, tequila or bacardi 151. we had the classic jose cuervo and sizzling mushroom as our pulutan. salamat veneer! that was yummy!

just say yes...

I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand

The Biggest Little Man in the World

ivory

sa kasalukuyan, nirerenovate ang aming lumang bahay habang ginagawa ang bagong haws. its been 20 years although maganda (para sa aking standards) ang bahay. it still needs a little updating ika nga. new year, new look. ito ngaun ang pinagkakaabalahan ni mother dear. medyo hindi na ako updated sa mga pangyayari s bahay. nagulat na lang ako nung sinabing papalitan ang tiles sa kusina. papalitan ang mga pintuan ng cr at banyo. papalitan din ang main door. cant wait to see our house. matagal na rin bago ako huling umuwi. salamat sa teknolohiya, nasisilayan ko sa mga litrato ang mga pagbabagong nangyayari sa aking pamilya. napagtantu ng kung sinu man ang bossing sa bahay na palitan from pink to ivory ang kulay ng interior ng bahay. pero sabi nila, mukhang yellow naman daw. anu to, maka-cory? maka-ninoy ba? ewan.. at dahil point and shoot lang ang camera ni mother, mukhang ivory naman siya. please take a look...

na-extra ang aming munting anghel

chillax lang si heart. eto naman ang dining area namin... kung saan isa sa mga most photographed palce sa aming bahay. panu ba naman, every year, yan ang nagsisilbing backdrop ng mga yearly family pics. hndi ko na mabilang kung ilang taon at ilang litrato na meron ang aking pamilya sa dining area na yan.

hindi naman halata na ang obsession ng nanay ko ang mga palamuting sunflower or kahit anung anik anik na may sunflower. kung sabagay, kakatapos lang kasi ng flower festival sa baguio. at summer na rin naman. eto naman ang na-aapreciate ko kay mama ko, ang mood ng bahay ay depende kung anu ang season. pero the best pa rin ang panahon ng pasko. ang daming mga achuchu.. every corner may kanya kanyang istorya. nung minsan namang kapaskuhan, pinuno niya ang bahay namin ng mga christmas tree. tig-iisa daw kameng mag anak niya.. ang sweet..

salamat kina mother, bro at len para sa pagpicture at pag-update sa akin sa latest kaganapan sa bahay. at para as effort na ipakita sa akin ang new do ng bahay! lab you lots! miss ko na kayu.. see you soooonnnnnn.. mwahhhhhhh!

9 Rules to Business and Life

Lifted from: A Path of Entrepreneurship

(a book written to story-tell Mr. John Gokongwei's life).

9 Rules to Business & Life:

1. Change is inevitable and flexibility is the key.

- For someone to survive and prosper, one has to be flexible and adaptable to change and adversity.

2. Personal stakes in the company encourage everyone to work hard.

- Each person in the company should have personal stake to work very hard for its progress.

- Hiring the right people and at the same time providing them the right benefits. And for deserving people, a stock option to have a part-ownership of the company. This will drive everyone to the same goal of making the business a success.

3. Mistakes and disappointments are inevitable.

- One should have a healthy attitude towards failure and adversity.

- Instead of wallowing in self-pity, transform adversity into opportunity.

- If you fail, try to learn the lesson from the mistake and then move on to search for new opportunities.

- Optimism and positive outlook in life enables one to respond to change and to manage failure effectively.

- Everyone makes mistake, the only difference and important factor is how each deals with them. Take them in stride, learn the lessons and move.

4. Good brand building equals reputation.

- Mr. JG says that his companies were founded on good branding strategies.

- Building good reputation through good branding.

5. Family support is crucial

- Family gives us inspiration and determination to work hard.

6. Never lose sleep thinking of business risks

- Do not compromise you much needed sleep no matter how much stressed out you may be.

- Try not to let things bother you and believe that sleep is a joy of life.

7. Pausing to recharge brings new vigor.

- There should be a time to pause, to withdraw to recharge.

- There are emotional costs to leadership, and as a leader, we need to recoup after working so hard, to step back and replenish your energy to bring new vigor into your life.

8. Reading and traveling enriches one’s mind.

- Set aside to read books and travel new places to learn more insights and discover new things.

9. Philanthropy is a personal satisfaction.

- Give back to society and share your blessings.

- A sense of social responsibility.

Everyone of us can be an entrepreneur just like Mr.JG. The only difference is our willigness to take on the path by learning what it takes to be one.

MAXIM Fun Run 2010

me with buddy, our hall of famer runner

Today was our annual company fun run. Although last year's was missed, nakabawi naman this time.

early birds

Congrats to TEAM MAXIM for winning in the Top 25 Women and Men Division. Special Mention to Arni, joy, Chito and Onin.



Run started a bit late pero hindi naman kame nabadtrip. All are very excited and when it was time for gun start, kumaripas sa takbo ang lahat maliban na ata sa akin. Traffic.
I was behind most girl runners but i was consistent with may space. I was trying to keep my composure kahit nappressure na. Nung andun na ako sa 3rd km, sinabihan ako na 4th daw ako among the girls. Malayo din ang gap ko sa 3rd placer. But i still kept my pace. At ayun nga, sa 4th km, nagsprint na ako. Yung 4th placer, mabilis din pero mukhang pinagbigyan na lang din aku..


i finished 3rd place! yehey!



Again, Congrats sa team maxim. And i need to start training for my first 21km...
