Graduating...Again!



Yesterday, I finished revising the last requirement for my MBA in Health. It is a wonderful feeling to realize that two years have passed and I was able to finish yet another course, my fourth specialty! Now I am more confident to seat with the business executives in Makati without having to wonder what the hell are they talking about when they speak about market size and growth, financial impacts, brand equity and other business lingo. I will now understand where they are coming from and how a business should run.

Who would have thought that one day, I will be in the company of 'men in ties and suits"? A 'probinsiyano' from a place my former classmate call "isang dipa na lang, langit na!" is now one of those hastily walking in the streets of the Makati business district. This was not part of my kindergarten speech "when I grow up, i want to be..."!

But, as a faithful sheep to my Lord and Shepherd, I believe everything has a purpose and there's a reason why I am in the company of these people at this time. I just hope and pray that at the end of it all, I became a channel of blessing to them all.

It's graduation time, again!

Just Saying!

I chanced upon this blog as I was 'Googling' and I realized that I have not written any post for the past year. When the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I thought it would be the best opportunity for me to start writing again. My excitement produced 2 blog posts, but that was it. Nothing followed. Fast forward to this time. Since I have some time to spare, let me just say this regarding what's happening out there. We are all tired of the quarantine life and wish we can go back to how we live before this virus came to being. We blame the government for all the inefficiencies and lack of foresight, insight and what not. We compare our state with other countries and their seemingly better response and outcome. We all have brilliant ideas on what to do and what should be done. We cannot even agree if face shields add a layer of protection or not! But do we really have to stress ourselves with all of these? Is it even worth the energy? Do we think something go...

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift.   It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.

Keeping my Sanity during this CoViD-19 Crisis

It has been 2 weeks now since I stepped out of the house because of this Covid-19 situation and despite keeping myself busy working from home, I am beginning to experience the feeling that my life is at a standstill and I am starting to wonder how long I will be able to survive this situation. I have read everything there is to read about the Covid-19, and I am religiously keeping tab of the number of cases every day. With all the mishaps and misgivings of the government and the stubbornness of the public, it seems we’re in this for a long haul. As I am now conscious of this negative feeling that is starting to creep in, I am telling myself that I need to break out from it and continue being optimistic with life. So, I searched the world wide web on how to keep my sanity during this crisis. Here are good recommendations that I found: 1. Avoid internalizing everything that is going on. Read only credible sources of information. Stay away from negative comments and per...
