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.

Changing our Attitude to Change

There is nothing permanent in this life. Everything  changes and whether we like it or not,  it impacts us. But instead of denying and resisting it, we should learn  how to accept it and move on. “We need to develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset instead of a negative, defeatist one.” Have faith that God has a purpose in everything that happens. We need not understand what and why now, but for sure in His perfect time, we will know it and be thankful about it.
