2010: Change of Presidents: A- must read article

I know... right? It's been a long time and I miss you all! In my oh-so-super-busy schedule where I can no longer open my YM and other networking-stress relief tools, I found 1 email that really made me stop for a while to read and digest words of wisdom. Honestly, I was moved. I don't know. I have never voted all my legal-aged life. Swear! I never intend to. I'm so busy working but this made me realize one thing: "What if there are 100,000 Filipinos who think like I did? What if this 100,000 Filipinos can make a change? Is this article (below) true enough? We would never know. But one thing that I'm sure of: If we align our intentions to good will, success and integrity, Filipinos can make a change. Feel free to read the article. I highlighted some statements that really struck me. This might move you big time, too. Miss you all! 

2010: CHANGE OF PRESIDENTS

OR CHANGE OF HEARTS?

By Detch Nonan-Mercado

The funny thing is, some Filipinos are able to believe that changing presidents is all we need to be given a shot at a better life but truth be told, change in leadership does not guarantee change in the calamitous situation of our nation. A new president does not necessarily equal new national breakthroughs. What guarantees change is change of hearts.

So ayun na nga...

Yeah.. I'm back! Wheew.. I was like entrapped inside a bottle with the strictest genie ever.. Better yet, comparable to a little girl who was asked by mom to sit in one corner and to never leave yet. OMG! It was a toxic week but I love it. Know what, the most tiring thing to do pala is to put pressure on yourself than your boss putting pressure on you. Really.. it stressed the hell out of me. When you're new kasi you tend to show them that it was the most right decision- that they've hired you.. I have to admit I feel so tired at the end of each day this week, but I feel so relieved. Ironic, right? I mean, I was able to figure out how to untie the loops in my new job.

Enough of the job.. Just miss bloggin'! Well, sorry.. can't stop talaga! I brought home some assignments. I assigned myself to do reveiews and strategic business portfolio this weekend so as to get geared up for next week. Really..enough na swear!

Mommy (she's my dad's sister- I usually call her ninang mommy) called me the other day nga pala. She was crying.. she misses us.. she misses my newphew, PJ. She's currently in Paris and she perceived snow to be boredom and lonesome. That was actually the first time I heard her whine.. the first time I heard her cry. She's a very strong woman. She's my idol talaga since she had a fast-tracked career. Living abroad naman talaga is not easy. We just need to find our purpose, because searching for God's reason would give us a better direction to get closer to Him. If you feel comfortable in where you are right now, just stay and find a better niche at home. Just be a curious kid finding a better position to sleep in a small nipa hut with 12 siblings. Find your competitive advantage, instead of finding a country to dump your luggage. It doesn't mean that you didn't take risks or you didn't get out of your comfort zone. In the first place, you don't need to gamble or to find uneasy zone in this kind of game if you feel stability and satisfaction. After all, what greatly matters is where you find peace and happiness. The place where your heart is, is the place where you'll survive. I find my heart beating loudly everyday.. and in tracing its sound.. its echo transmits my entirety back to where his heart shouts my name. :) I hope you've followed the echo of your heart, too.. 

Ti'' the next bloggin'!
