You will always be the girl in my life for all time

In the midst of the celebration of Mother’s Day around the world, I would love to share this music to every moms out there most especially to my ever loving mama.

I dedicate this song to my one and only mama. I remember always playing this very inspirational music from Boyz II Men whenever I feel down and alone most especially during my school days, the times when I felt I lost purpose in life, whenever I am weak and vulnerable and moments when I felt sad and blue.

And when I play this song, it always reminds me that someone gave me life because she loved to. And then taught me how to be strong and stand up when stumbled upon, to be brave when afraid, and to keep going when life becomes uneasy. And as I age and walk through my journey, I always look back how my mom taught me everything and how thankful I am for the very unconditional love she has for me and for the family.

Happy Mother’s Day Ma! You know I’d never go a day without you.

Mama, mama you know I love you
Ooh you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul

The benefit of learning diseases

Last Monday, I attended a disease and product awareness training sponsored by our company attended by Pharmacists, Pharmacy Assistants and Drug Store owners nationwide. It talks about common and leading diseases among Filipinos and what medicines in the market address such.

The topics focused on were Dyslipidemia, hypertension, allergic rhinitis, pain, and atopic dermatitis were most of us will have at least 2 of the said diseases — at least 2 only because dyslipidemia and hypertention will be part of anyone’s lifetime. Actually 3 since osteoarthritis can be the ends of our over worked mechanical human body, but for the purpose of not frightening anybody sige 2 na lang. :)

I am thankful that I was able to learn these things. It made me become aware that no one is exempted to it — maybe for the reason that at my age, these kind of diseases aren’t adolescents’ concern for now (Dyslipidemia and Hypertension). But I realized it should be our responsibility to learn these such since getting old will be us later on and we better prepare ourselves to the possibility of becoming a patient of the said diseases. More importantly, it will help us to prevent it.

For now, my biggest concern is my parents since they are the one most prone to it so later in time, we could lessen the chance of them getting stroke and heart attack.

I hope there’ll be more activities that heightens awareness of everybody about these diseases so we don’t just medicate people but help them have a life that is healthy and well-lived.

Buko – Ikaw ang buhay ko

I just want to share this video here in my blog. And maybe dedicate it to someone I feel is the subject of this song.

I hope and pray that everything will be okay. For whatever reason you are doing that, I will understand. As I told you through ups and downs, I’m just here for you.

I miss you and I hope to see you soon. Good night.

The big bosses and the feeling of being with them talking about business.

Even the fact that sometimes I feel not okay in my current company, I’m still thankful for the opportunities my manager has given me like opportunities to be exposed in core business meetings of the top management team, exactly the experience I had before the week ends.

Since my senior analyst was on leave for a vacation trip, who usually attends sales meeting every week, I was assigned to take over the responsibility. My role was to just present sales update and forecast for the month, while my boss was the one delivering it to the team (consists of Directors from different departments). But even I don’t really have so much role during that meeting, I felt very uneasy.

It was my very first time to meet the top management group in a meeting. When we were about to go to the room, it was kind of the same feeling I had during my thesis defense. I can exactly remember how I sort of stutter in a greeting and saying welcome to a thank you. Parang ewan lang. The feeling is totally different coz I know they think 1000x than I do and any mistake can be seen 1000x zoomed in. I was secretly sweating in an airconditioned room.

On a more serious note, I was just thankful that I was able to glance how intelligent business people talk to each other, an experience for me which I believe is kinda rare for fellow officemates on the same level of position to get involve with. It really became an inspiration for me to work harder and harder so in any given time, I would be on the same place like them.

I woke up to write about a silent night

I just woke up in the middle of the night for no reason. Nothing or no one really disturbed me from sleep. It just happen. It’s 12:01 AM on the clock, a minute just passed to say hello to another morning. I’m not really annoyed even though I know that I still have to wake up early to attend office and a whole day meeting. 

Maybe because I love the timing when my eyes opened and heard nothing and no one but my radio. It was very peaceful, the exact reason why there’s good in good night. We know that all our loved ones were all sleeping safe and sound. And we were able to think of a lot of things that only makes life more meaningful as reflection keeps going. 

It’s just different. There are moments when we just think nothing and only stare at the ceiling and wait for the silence to break and yet gives enough rest internally and later on we didn’t realize we fell asleep until another peaceful night had passed. 

Is this over-confidence or mere reality?

Several months ago, I’ve had a lot of dreams I want to achieve as I graduate in college. I was simply excited of how things will go as my hopes were so up that everything will always be well. Those days actually made me become more determined because all I want was to gradute and start my career I planned for myself.

But realization came that not all good things you did will always go okay in the future. Some kind of good investment turned out to be worst.

I just feel I don’t deserve where I am now. I feel like I deserve more than this. I may not be as good as others but I think I have measured myself enough to think that I deserve better. I know it sounds big-headed but should I really stay?

It has always been a question to me that for couple of weeks from now remained unanswered and just made me feel down and frustrated. I tried to look for another job but none seems to be interested in employing me which made me more and more frustrated and depressed.

So this is reality? It’s just so hard to accept and live with it everyday.

 

My first marathon was for Dyslexic

I and Aby

I just attended my first ever marathon a while ago in UP Academic Oval. T’was just good to run for a cause and to see those students with dyslexia enjoying the run organized by Wordlab School Inc. Maybe it’s the start of many marathons to join? We’ll see but definitely running will always be part of life.

Just a history, I started to run last December 2012 from the influence of an office mate. We usually run in Ayala triangle where I think is one of the best place to jog. But there’s another place in Salcedo Street where I think is best when I don’t feel like running with a lot of people (I think the problem with triangle because there’s a lot of people running, staying and visiting there). I usually run after office hours for about 1 to 2 hours. And it makes my day feel better after the stress in the office. Just a good way to cool down before end of the day.

That’s just it. Happy running!
