Heart Talks #5: Love

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.” ------------------ Heart Talks are messages from J's Heart for A.

Lean L. Alejandro (Kasaysayan Ng Pilipinas)

Muling umigting ang dugong aktibista. Nabasa ko ang post ng Diliman Republic sa Facebook tungkol kay Lean Alejandro. Apat na taon pa lang ako nang mabaril sya sa headquarters ng BAYAN nung Sept. 19, 1987. Mas napalawig ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya ng mag-aral ako sa University of the Philippines sa Baguio. Isa syang huwaran ng tunay na lider na ipaglalaban ang demokrasya at katarungan.

Only Time Is Capable Of Understanding How Great Love Is

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others…… including Love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you.” Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.” I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.” Next, Love saw Sadness pas...

Heart Talks #4: I'm With You

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.” ------------------ Heart Talks are messages from J's Heart for A.

THIS IS IT!

This isn't Michael Jackson's supposed series of concerts in London turned Movie because of his death nor This is it Bar-B-Q, Seafood & Chargrill you can find online or in the US. This is my stuff. Yeah, mine. =) Today is going to be a start of a new beginning. A start of another endeavor of becoming a success! New job. New office. New environment. New schedule. New boss. New assignments. New opportunities. New people to work with. And of course, new friends. 7am - 4pm. The last time I was in the morning shift was in 2005 where I had to change schedules thrice a week to ensure coverage on my team. (Opening to Closing). I had agents coming at 8pm and latest, 7am. I needed to be in the opening, mid and closing schedule to make sure i'd be able to have one-on-one coaching with them. Haggard! 5 minutes away from home. I thought my apartment in Cebu was the closest where I can take a jeepney (Php7.00) or a cab (Php70.00) going to the office. That was a 10-minute drive. This ...

The Pull of Passion

The Pull of Passion By Jethsel M. Allego Every time I want to move forward in my life or job, I add the energy of ENTHUSIASM to what I do. Enthusiasm is energy, it's an inward feeling moved outward. Energy moves me forward. Energy, the feeling of it, inspires me, moves me, and excites me. This is what drives my PASSION for performance. Enthusiasm must start from WITHIN. It starts with my desire to accomplish. It starts with a PASSION. Something I am excited about. I know my world will reflect my attitude. If I’m excited, passionate, feel good about what I’m doing, I’ll get this back as sure as I see myself when I look in the mirror. If I’m dull, the world around me will reflect that. I am passionate because this is what I enjoy doing. It's almost like a pull, a tug inside me, trying to move me to the place where I am celebrated, not tolerated. The company has somehow inspired me in everything that I do and therefore taught me to inspire others. I learned that Passion is no...

Sepanx!

I really thought this is going to be easy. I know letting go and saying good byes aren't my forte but with all the experiences i have been through, i thought i can get through this easily. But no. The teary and tantrum-filled goodbyes really broke my heart and been longing for understanding and looking for strategies how we can cope with this situation. They say separation anxiety are only for babies. I can imagine how we've never matured in this aspect, or should i say, we've been really attached to one another and we are having a hard time being separated. I can imagine. We were both afraid of- losing each other (even though we knew that we are just a text or a phone call away) being separated physically because we've been stick together for so long and we can't remember how it is to be alone or at least with someone else not meeting again because of conflict of time and schedule These are fears - FALSE EXPECTATIONS APPEARING REAL. See, our fear...

Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

I was browsing through some motivational stuff and read through this write up. I know you can relate and you'd find this story really touching.I know you can always find time reading it. :) When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee . A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar And proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more...
