Run Run Run

My running habit is so addictive thus i consistently research and think on how to improve my performance. I am currently in Cebu and a bit frustrated on missing my run for today because of my extra early flight. Though i have an opportunity to run tonight, i would still prefer in the morning. Good thing, i have secured my running trail in whatever project location i am in. In cebu, waterfront city gym, davao-my client's subd, bacolod-city plaza, manila-high street.

Anyway, last night during my mtg in Makati i was intrigued with my partner mentioning the bare foot shoes and i found out it is true. Great technology at http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/indexNA.cfm

For You

Its Joy's birthday today and i just recorded a cover song entitled "For You" (lyrics fit) dedicated to her. Happy Birthday Hny!


For you i give a life of stability

Anything you want of me

Nothing is impossible


For you there are no words

Or ways to show my love

Or all the thoughts i'm thinkin' of


Chorus 1:

Cause this life is no good alone

Since we've become one

I've made a change

Everthing i do now makes sense

All roads end

All i do is for you


For you i share the cup of

Love that overflows

And anyone who knows us knows

That i would change all faults i have


For you there is no low or high

or in between

Of my heart that you haven't seen


Chorus 2:

Cause i share all i have and am

nothing i've said is hard to understand

All i fear i feel deeper still

And always will

All this love is for you


Bridge:

Every note that i play

Every word i might say

Every melody i feel

Are only for you and your appeal

Every page that i write

Everyday of my life

Would not be filled without the things

That my love for you now brings


For you I'd make a promise of fidelity

Now and for eternity

No one could replace this vow


For you I'd take your hand

And heart and everything

and add to them a wedding ring


Chorus 3:

Cause this life is no good alone

Since we've become one

You're all i know

And if this feeling should leave I'd die

And here's why all i am is for you

Up In The Air

I just saw "up in the air" dvd movie with george clooney as the main cast. His character is a business executive who travels a lot. He's hired by companies who are downsizing to talk to the staff who are candidates for retrenchment.

In my case, i travel to make businesses improve their process in all departments from operations, purchasing, warehouse, billing, collection and accounting. As i write this, i just finished my new system implementation here in bacolod. My approach is to basically assess their workflow by interviewing each dept heads, document their process, agree with a new process and implement our software.

My client here is a telco company who sells mobile phones, cameras and other appliances with 20 branches in vismin area. They've been longing for efficiency ever since and they have engaged with several service providers already and so far they are not still satisfied.

In a week, i managed to setup everything and they are running live already with one of their branches. One challenge is to track the serial numbers of their products. It is important to monitor the movement of each item for service warranties. I'll be back after a month to generate the reports and see if everything is working well. After that i am scheduled to implement a famous fine dining restaurant/grill here in town. One of the gratifications in this type of job is when you see the company's staff faces smiling because they know that this initiative will make their work effective and less stress.

I am now packing for tomorrow's flight and just like george's character, my next stop is in cebu to check on my previous implementation and meet with my sales team for the software marketing execution and blinds/carpet business.

Rockers

This is a picture of me 12 years ago i just found in my vault. Long haired, skinny, bum, rocker boy who was dreaming about rockin' the stage and inspire people via my music. I was nicknamed rockers with the "s" during high school because of my rock personality.

But as years go by and things get serious, personality changes. I just like looking back and see the "wonderful you" and what has happened for the past years...

Missed Opportunity

Kit Tatad is a prominent political figure in the country. He's running for senator this coming election and i can't help but share my experience this morning on my way to Bacolod. It really is substantial to meet those who are running for position face to face.

My seat was supposed to be in row 8C but when I boarded, he was sitting on my seat. I was a bit intimidated so i didn't bother asking him and took the seat besides him. I started to think creatively about some dialogues and topics to discuss about for the entire 1 hour and 15 minutes flight such as his plans, lifestyle and i wanted to make sure there is no dead-air for the entire flight. Unfortunately, few minutes later he realized that he's supposed to be in row 10C. He was very apologetic and tapped my shoulder saying sorry to have taken my seat.

A very nice guy...later on i learned that erap and other members of their party list will be there for the campaign.

Scream Your Heart Out

I love boat photos in the middle of a sea or river. It reminds me of myself four years ago in the middle of the sea screaming my heart out. I feel relieved every time i recall that associated image of myself.

Every emotion requires an action and if one choose to hide it, it will only manifest in some other ways and its risky. I just would like this blog to a my channel of my emotion at the moment. To be honest, i am angry. I am angry because sometimes you need to suffer & sacrifice because you're the one who can understand. I'd like to scream at the top of my lungs. Just imagining that action is really liberating.

Anyway, if i will think about it deeper, its really not that serious. Thanks to this blog, thanks to you.

Business Waves


This isn't me but this is a photo of my friend i took few years back in fuego, batangas. This portrays me the past weeks trying to hold on to the waves of business. Not that serious, but basically i am having support dilemma of non-stop market needs and i intend yet to strengthen our manpower by reaching the 1st quarter's sales.

Competence, that's one criteria i look for when engaging with a customer specially if you are offering technical products. But due to some incompetence on their part, you're the one's suffering and helping them in good deed. I am a passionate person, i am really affected when something is not right, I have to change perspective, work forward, plan for the worst and expect for the best.
i need serenity...
