Hello Friends and Friendsters! Ü My goodness!!! The time has come! After several months of hibernation, I will enter the jungle again! Jungle? What do I mean?! I’m referring to a place where crazy animals live, a place where both wit and strength will be put to the test. Friends… I’m going to Taguig! Hehehe. (peace, Taguig friends Ü)

.

I would just like to give a short story of what has been happening to me the past few months… ok, this might not be so short, wahehe. Ü Before I go on rambling, (uuy, rambler) I just want to praise God for giving me this gift of work. After so many months of waiting for this, God’s perfect time and company finally came. And with this came a more grateful and thankful Noki. Lord, may You always be my all satisfying treasure, my greatest source of joy. Ü

.

Okey Letsh Shtart! Ü What happened to me the past few months is NOT a new or radical experience that “no one on the planet earth” has ever experienced before, but this mine and it is one of my greatest yet. Here we have action, there’s drama, there’s comedy, hey there’s even some singing & dancing! Ole! Ü

.

For some of you who still do not know, I have not had a full time employment for a long time now. Let me emphasize that, nothing for “A LOOOONG TIME”, longer than I planned, longer than the traffic at SLEX (I think, hehe). We can mark three stages of development in emotional state of my unemployment.
1. Relief - “Yes!” Stage
2. Concern - “Hmmm” Stage
3. Disappointment - “…” or  “Meshm-Feshm!” Stage

.

During the first few months of unemployment, my mind and body just agreed that the rest felt great. “Yes!” Ü I used my new found uncommitted time for “muni-muni” moments, church volunteering and sleep fiestas! I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t recognize time just passing by. This is where “Hmmm” comes in. I realized that I needed to get more serious with my job hunting.

.

The Rest Period was already overstaying in my life. Dear “Rest”, you know I really like you… but there’s more to life than you. I think I have to see other periods now. It’s not you, it’s me, it’s meeeeehh! TC, mwah, mwah. Ü I tried organizing my days again. I even scheduled personal study times which covered topics from Improving Personal Effectiveness to Learning Basics of Marketing Management. Yet even with much added effort to find work and with new changes in my life, still no work came.

.

Like a slow cloud covering the earth, sadness was creeping in. Silence. “…”

.

They were one of the hardest times in my life. But not impossible to bear, God was with me every hard step. These are the times when God becomes “more” real to you. It’s not that He has changed but I have changed. This trial has made me more focused on Him. They are so precious times. Praise God. Ü

.

It’s weird how I first started with very detailed and lengthy prayers during this tough season but after some time words were no longer needed for the heart was already crying out. I know God is listening, but His plan for me then was still not finished.

.

Also during these days, I started tutoring English to cute but crazy Korean kids. Some of them extremely crazy, hehe. They make me seem like I’m in a vegetative state.  One little boy likes to punch hard to show his love and affection.  I can tell this Kimchi boy really enjoys my company because of the bruises I gained through the week. How do you say, “Don’t love me too much?” in Korean. Anyone? Please? Pleeeaaaaase?! Hehehe.

.

Then one day, I got a job-related email. Then another day, I got a test. Then, I got interviews. Finally, when God’s perfect time came, I got hired. Ü Let’s say it together… “YEHEY!!!” Ü

.

This is one of my Oh My Gosh Experiences.  Ü

.

I thank you for those who were helped me and who prayed for me during the past months. Praise God for the whole experience.  I hope that whatever you are going through right now, you too choose to walk with God through it all. God Bless you greatly! Ü

I just arrived home still with the wonderful picture of the moon, the clouds and the stars outside dancing in my thoughts. I always enjoyed the looking up the night sky. One of the things that make me say, “Oh yeah, orayt!” Ü

.

Whether it is the moon shining softly or the stars twinkling as if hiding their secrets or meteors like quick brushes of light, they always create in me a sense of awe. I remember my friend asking me, “Why is it that so many people are amazed at the sight when all you see are dots of light scattered all over, when all you see is a big round dish that creeps quietly across the sky?” Good question I think… why is it?

.

Those who can relate to me probably have as many personal reasons for their amusement of the heavens as there are stars in the sky. (I said probably… don’t react violently. ) Whatever that reason may be, I believe that in all of us there is something in us that calls us to appreciate and wonder at the natural things around us. For some it may be in the form of respecting it’s power like the fury of a storm (hello, Milenyo) or the violent eruption of a volcano, or for some just the simple amazement of nature’s diversity with all its forms, living and not… in some form or another we do just that, wonder at them.

.

We go back to my friend’s question… why is it then? You can try to look for an answer, maybe you can even come up with one by yourself. Well, how about this…

.

“The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don’t speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world.” (Psa 19:1-4)

.

“Heaven and earth will praise our God, and so will the oceans and everything in them.” (Psa 69:34 CEV)

.

“Praise the LORD! …Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the LORD! …Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word! Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds! Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. …Praise the LORD!” (Psa 148:1-14 ESV)

.

I think the reason “why it is” is because when the Lord created everything, including us, He created all with a purpose that all creation would praise Him. When we see nature, we somehow sense them praising God in unison, as if they were a singing choir. That is why we wonder the way we wonder whenever nature bombards our senses and our spirits.

.

It is not an “ego trip” of God that He desires to be praised, but praising Him is actually good for all of us. It is for our benefit. When we start living the way God created us to live, according to His will, we start experiencing the goodness, the lasting joy, the overflowing love that could not be found apart from Him. The Lord loves us so much, but He does not force us to love Him back. Yet He always reminds us of His loving presence as we look out our windows, look up the sky and see all that He has created.

.

And so it is… we start to wonder. (",)

.

God bless you.

I know, your thinking… "Huh, you were still sane before?" Believe me, I was and I still am. Really. (*Really?) Yes, really. (*No, really?) Yes, really! Now shut up little voice in my head!

.

Ok, now that’s settled, hehe, let me tell you about the experience I just had last October 6-8 in the amazing Caliraya, Laguna. Before anything else, let me segway for a while to inform you that Caliraya is just beside a town called Cavinti. In Cavinti we have a rice haciendero friend who is also part of a growing political family dynasty there, let us hide him in the name Konde. Food for thought for you smart guys and gals out there. Wink, wink.

.

Now, going back to Caliraya! Ü

.

I just had an amazing time there and I want you, friends, to share even a little bit of what happened. That weekend I attended the MAD Singles Retreat of CCF. Ok, that’s where I got the title. Galing talaga. Ü Let us first see what this retreat is not… This retreat is NOT a "Singles Forever" Movement as they explicitly tell us (hmmm, Single Forever, does it sound like a longer time than just the word Forever, hehe, of course not. don’t be silly… err, willy. =P ). This retreat is NOT just a feel good weekend, although the weekend of rest really feels good hehe and lastly (I just had to stop, my imagination is ready to run crazy soon)…ehem, and lastly this retreat is NOT a costume party where guys and gals would put on their goody-goody costumes for one week then shed their skins afterwards, although i did wear a costume in one event. (Ok, seriously… what is hoped for the retreat: to see changed lives for all involved).

.

Soooo, what is this retreat all about? Well as a whole, I really have no idea. Hahaha, kidding. Baka mabatukan ako bigla. The retreat experience is, of course, personally different from one person to another. But here’s one thing for sure, for all the delegates willing to listen to God and open to just let Him move, this retreat is such an amazing experience. Ü

.

Let me just guide you thru some messages we heard in the retreat… We heard of our "Wonderful Masterpiece Worth Because of God’s Love". The "Blessing of Singleness" was the topic in the 2nd day followed by "Integrity". And for the last main message, we heard of how all the messages we heard would really matter by "Letting the Love Begin" as we let God’s love fill us, which in turn compels us to just return what love we can give back to Him and share this wonderful thing also to others. I’d like to get into details, but maybe not here. (Just message me if you want to hear some of the great specifics of these messages, i’d love to share them to you. Ü)

.

If you have reached this part of the message, then wow! i really think your a good friend for caring what I have to say, hehe. Thanks. Pa-hug, hehe. =D

.

I was not sure if i’d like to share personal messages God gave me, im shy kasi, ahihihi. No really, i think i would share some, sayang yung blessings if I just keep them. Here goes….

.

One thing God repeatedly hammered in my thick, slow-absorbing head is that if your heart is right, "you can not experience God and leave unchanged". Again, whenever you experience God, your life is never the same again. This is always true. I went to the retreat with an attitude that says, "Oh, I’d probably be hearing the same messages again, so it’s not such a big thing." and "This retreat is mainly for the new ones and just second for me". I did not say this out loud of course, I’d probably deny this if you asked me before, but God just revealed this secret pride in the process of this retreat. With regards to the two attitude of my heart then, God just rebuked me BIG time. During the retreat I found myself holding on to God as if my life depended on it (funny, my life is really because of Him).

.

When God already corrected me, I was just feasting with all the great messages and lessons I was facing, as if I’m hearing them all for the first time. And whenever I was just getting ready to lose my grip on God, He made ways to remind (even make) me to hold on. I think you don’t need to hear specifics of my experience. But I hope each of us would be reminded that if we have Christ already inside our lives then always, the BEST IS YET TO COME.

.

This does not mean problems would stop, nor annoying people and things would suddenly disappear. But it does mean as we continue to experience God more, know Him more and become more like Christ. Life becomes more beautiful and our joy, our zeal for life w/ Him, would only continue to grow. Remember, the best is yet to come. Ü

.

Hope my little sharing, translated to you even just a glimpse of the wonderful experience He allowed me to have then.

.

God Bless you greatly! Ü

…

For some the following story may not mean much, but hey, since friends naman tayo tiisin nyo na lang muna ako hehe. For others, hope you enjoy and are encouraged! Ü God Bless!

One Friday afternoon, I was joining a group of people (about 80 ppl) singing songs of praise and worship. Well our number is not that big compared to other gatherings, BUT there is something different with what was happening right then.

You see, we were still inside the company building and all around me were my workmates. All of us singing in unison. Praising God together. This is such an amazing sight for me.

We organized this small fellowship for Sept8 inside the company amidst busy schedules of everyone. (and some were neck-deep busy!) Who would’ve thought this is possible? Hehe, silly question, of course God did. And He shared the vison to our small bible study group. Ü

Our preparations included skipped lunches, event status meetings, practices after work, some late nyt practices, filling all sorts of company forms for the many activities, dealing with all sorts of problems (from technical to administrative), and prayers, a lot of prayers since the time the vision was born.

Did you think what we did was hard? You betcha! Sacrifices were called for, some conflicts faced up to, some tears shed, and many knees falling to the floor. Stepping up for God will require such things and even more.. I encourage each of you, when God calls you to step up for Him, do not be intimidated with what will be asked of you, because we have this promise, "I will be with you always." And we know God’s track record in keeping promises don’t we? Ü

Our group’s name is Christians @ Work. I’m very blessed by the heart and dedication of all involved. They’re also workmates, now co-laborers in the ministry and very good friends. We all had our part in the event. We had emcees, the music team, ushers, speakers, and break-out group leaders. I remember the 1st song we played then, I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever. Indeed when you start understanding what God’s love is all about, how great is His love, and how wonderful is His plan for you through events like these; you realize that a lifetime will not be enough to sing of Him.

The event lasted for about an hour and a half. As im trying to recall this new experience, i can’t help but smile. I always wanted to reach out and also encourage people in my office, but this plan of the Lord is something more, something better. Ü

I will really miss this, I will really miss them.

God Bless us all! Ü

Yellow! Ü Wow, it’s been so looooong! since my last entry, siguro naman pede na ako mag mahaba-habang blog no? Hehe.

Knowledge power item: Did you know that im using the word "regarding" at work now, as porky pig is with his "abidee-abideee"? Of course this blog won’t focus on this topic lang no? Attention catcher lang to, di na kayo nasanay sakin! Ü And, this is also just one of the "work thingamajigs" i learned so far, hehe. Moving on, I have been a paid employee of Hitachi for three months now. Three months ‘no… parang ang iksi lang no in terms of time, pero for me parang antagal na nito.

I musta admit, this work has really been stretching my strength, knowledge, and abilities to the point that even I sometimes don’t know if I can accomplish some of my tasks. Am I exaggerating? I dont know, maybe? This is my 1st job, so I really dont have any point of comparison, but "my goodness!", ibang klase tong experience ko na to.

So how am I? Quoting one of my workmates, "Ay, buhay ka pa pala? Ü" Yes, im still alive. This work experience is sooooo not what i expected, but it goes beyond my expectations… for this is already God showing me His plans. So the answer really is, "Yes Im still alive and praising God more than ever."

Teka lang! Before miscommunications start, let me clear first that if you think I already know my life’s clear direction… that is not yet the case. As one good discipler said to me, "Be open and continue to seek Him, for God still is in the process of revealing you His will." I have experienced so much in such a short time, even thinking of all my adventures brings me wonder. But it’s not the adventure itself that amazes me, but it’s the way God worked in and through me during those times.

Some experiences were times of hardships and solitude, some were times of celebration and feasts. There were times of victory and there were then, the many times of personal defeat and failure…

Yet what surprised me is even my inconsistency, the Lord’s work in my life never stopped. He guided me to be thankful and humble in victories, He comforted me and reminded me of His promises when my heart was at its lowest. So this is how God’s unfailing love works. Ü Ibang klase no? (And it’s not just for me, but for anyone who chooses to live with Him and let Him inside.)

Dear diary na ba ito? Hehe. Just sharing my thoughts. Ü

It’s funny rin kasi I always thought working in the "industry" is the easier way. Again, like many of my unfounded assumptions in life, I am dead wrong, hehe. So for you kids who are still seeking direction (like me), seek well for both (industry and full time) will have their share of life-changing struggles, tests, hardships, but like what is said in Heb12… God allows all these because of His love. It may be painful at the time, but the fruits of those trained by these are all worth it. Ü

What can be in store for me in the next months and years? Here’s one thing for sure, I absolutely have no idea, hehe. Ok, here’s another thing for certain, the Lord’s promises for me will always stand. May I choose to live each day, each moment to fulfill every part of His will. I pray you do too. Ü God Bless you greatly!

hello friends and friendsters! Ü it has been three weeks now since i started here in HitachiGST (HICAP, next tym ko na lang expalin why!). it has been such a wonderful experience! is it something new for me? (you bet, trumpet!) is it a big thing? (uh-huh & it grows everyday… it’s alive!!!) is it hard? (… grabe, its so hard that i realized my own strength will never be enough.) in all these, i am so thankful to God, i am learning and experiencing so many things everyday (abt myself,work,life & what’s most impt in it Ü).

and what is your 1st work w/o bloopers di ba? hehe. kwnto ako ng konti… i remember being in a meeting w/ our company’s president, my boss wanted me to observe it. once in a while those in the meeting would tell jokes (which were really funny!) & i would sometimes laugh my heart out (hint: i laugh Very Loud)… and then sensing something wrong, i quickly stop laughing & check if i disturbed the meeting. hehe, what can i say, they were pretty funny jokes. that is just one blooper, i think i have a bag full of them now. i managed to gain so much in such a short time… im so happy, sniff,sniff. (wahehe! Ü)

im already an early riser now! yes, by God’s grace the old is gone, hehe. (as early as 450am, im already doing bed-based somersaults!) i can be your personal alarm clock, just give me free load hehe. i must admit though that my body is still not used to the the work sked and load, im usually tired when night comes. i hope i could adjust soon.

i’ve met a lot of good people here in HICAP! its hard nga lng to get to know people outside your territory, all of us are always occupied with something. im so happy din that one group adopted me as a lunch buddy, thank you! (special mention: mam aileen, sir vino, sir chester, mam che, mam michelle and mam jai) Ü my lunch time has been makulit and informative! (i learned that planning a wedding yourself is no joke, informative di ba? Ü)

why the title? its because i’ve also developed good habits here and one of them is brushing my teeth. it seems many people here in HICAP are very conscious of their dental hygiene, napagaya tuloy ako, hehe. im brushing my teeth at least 2 times a day in HICAP and im brushing them like crazy! Ü

im still adjusting here and i hope i do well here. i hope also to make a really good contribution here. Ü for my friends: pray for me ha! Ü text or msg me so i can update you. (and kyo rin u can update me sa lives nyo) God Bless you greatly! Ü

Ok, some of my friends told me that my last blog was a bit long (but i say to them, then the longer you’ll be entertained hehe), so medyo pambawi na tong sunod. Ü Just wanted to say thank you to those who helped and prayed for me during my application process, im so happy to inform you that after: an exam, a group dynamics session, and five very exciting interviews… i was finally offered the job of cadet engineer in Hitachi. (for those who are wondering, yes, we wear military fatigues at work, hehe. bola!)

Can you believe it, five interviews… that’s got to be a record high or a ripley’s thing. Ü When the fourth interview finished today i didn’t even cared to ask my interviewer what was the next step because i assumed a job offer followed (or silence, w/c doesnt mean i don’t have potential, as they explain it. it’s just that im not the one they are looking for… because i think they are looking for people w/ potential, hehe. joke lang.), i learned from the other applicants that we still had one more to go after that, AND by grace i was given this last interview also the today. (Praise God, these words express my heart exactly. Ü) But I really enjoyed these interviews, i had the opportunity to express myself and they were led by very cool people like mam chiqui, sir ricky, mam may-may, mam beng and mam grace the Admin Head. (achuchu, ganito tlga ako, nagpapalakas pa rin kahit tanggap na, wahehe!)

For the details of what happened in the interviews, well, i wrote it in my personal journal, maybe one day i could tell the stories about them, because they were just soooo amazing! Ü I’m really inspired… to the next, hehe. Right now im finishing my job requirements like medical ekek, SSS, and so on. Galing tlga. Ü ALL FOR HIM! Ü

God Bless All of You! Ü

Here are some of what i recalled from the interviews. (not really accurate, but something like this happened) Ü

===========

From mam beng: "So you’re really a heart person ha? And with a passion for people."

From me: "Yes mam, that’s one of my passions."

From mam beng: "Ah, so what are your other passions?"

From me: "Umm, heart… people…(hmm, Must Add More…) well, yeah that’s it about me, heart and people tlga."

===========

From mam grace: "I tell that to all my people, to just go and grab the opportunity to really do something and show real effort."

From me: "Umm… yes."

It’s a bit long but for all those who really know me, I hope you read this. Ü

On Sept.16, while watching CSI (ung Pinas marami nang C. at S., one day sana may I. na rin Ü) I got my first reply call from a company that I sent my resume to. That company is Hitachi-GST in Biñan, Laguna. (owlrayt! Inspire D Next!) The wonderful world of internet job application actually works!! Before, I was afraid companies here were not yet up to date, but wait! My dear friends, I would like to inform you… we can now apply for jobs and chat all at the same time! How convenient is that? Mabuhay! Mabuhay ang technology! Mabuhay ang Star Trek… hehe, sobra na yata yun.

Moving on, Hitachi’s HRD (that’s Human Resource Dept, for you kids and you windang ppl) informed me that I had to take the exam tom. Actually they really asked, "Could I take the test tom at 8am?". I asked back, "Can I take it another time?". They replied, "No." SOOOOOO, in short, they informed me to take it tom. Ü The job hunting language actually has many subtle "do-this-or-suffer" terms.

So I prepared what I can for the exam. The day came when I took the exam (Sept.17), I was really excited since it was my first time! I got up at 5am & my parents even volunteered to drive me there. We left the house at 6am and just 5min after leaving my home traffic came to a standstill. Suddenly all cars stopped, at first i did not pay attention to it. After almost an hour without moving, many people were already walking and more cars started to pile up. I started to get concerned, this was pretty serious. I do not want to be rejected by my 1st company because of being late for the exam. I decided to leave the car & my parents to walk, hopefully find something to bring me to Biñan. (Walk!? Till where, Biñan!?!) Biñan was still 40km away, but this was my only option.

With my leather shoes, my business attire, and business bag; I walked on the muddy sides of the street. I then saw the cause of this terrible traffic, isang malaking puno ang tumumba at humarang sa buong daan. Some people were already fixing this problem by hacking the tree into pieces by their itak and machetes… Yeah right, hope they finish soon, malapit na PASKO! Ü In the other side of the tree the cars going opposite our direction already clogged all the space of the road. So even if they do hack the tree up quickly (that’s a BIG if), fixing the traffic could take hours!

What are the chances of this happening today? At this time? Before my exam? AND hacking the tree, my gosh stop it it’s already dead! But I believe that all things happen for a purpose, so while I was walking awkwardly along the muddy ground, I asked God why… I asked Him to make me understand why this was happening. After a few minutes more, I then realized that what’s important now is not that I understand but that I just continue to trust in Him, however grave things were already going for me. I was already at peace with Him by then.

Suddenly there was a stray jeep that came from a far corner going to Calamba, Crossing. I smiled; God was already answering my prayers. Ü My kuya mike then called me while I was in the jeep. He said our mom already informed him what happened. He decided to help in. We met Him at the Calamba terminal and by 745am we were already at the SouthExpressway. We still did not know where Hitachi was inside the Technopark, but amazingly we there arrived at exactly 8am.

By this time, I was no longer afraid what would happen to my exam. I was fully trusting God whatever happens. With my first company, God made me to have this resolve in my heart… That He will be the one to cause me to be in the company He wanted, I only have to listen and follow Him. Ü

This personal lesson comes at a perfect time. I am starting my mission in the world and because of all these, my foundation is now Rock hard. I have passed the exam & the group dynamics test, I am currently waiting for the results of the two interviews i had. If I pass them, the last steps are two panel interviews. And only then will I assure my hiring there. Of course I’m praying to pass all, but whatever happens now, I have already given God my heart and I trust Him that whatever the results are… they will be best for me. Ü

For all who read my story up to this point, I thank you for reading. I hope I have encouraged some of you with my experiences. Whatever your concerns may be, however towering they may seem… I am sure that if you allow Him inside your life, you will always find victory. Ü

God Bless you greatly!!! Ü

well, next time na lng yang resist-resist na yan. look im shining! tisoy talaga ako… basta malakas ang ilaw. to all who are reading this… wala kayong magawa no? hehe, but because your reading this, you are now suddenly way up there in my "most appreciated friends list" (yes, ganun po ako kababaw as of now Ü)

so wassup? just wanted people to know what’s up with me, i just started looking up job openings in the net. and there are a lot of jobs there, but for those who are really choosy with what they want, finding your dream job may be as it is for some time… a dream. kaya tiis pare, lets dream. ayun im still enjoying the flood of "job terms" that im discovering… sales engineers a.k.a. tagabenta-knock-on-your-door, associate marketing staff a.k.a. alipin, junior process engineers a.k.a. tagatimpla ng kape, etc… good thing i have working friends na, para hindi ako ganun ka-gullible to apply dahil "andanda nya pakinggan, ahihihi, eto na lan". Ü

i have been talking to some friends na rin who already have taken that step of employment, and many of them says the transition is hard… especially if you have high standards for yourself. lam mo nman real world, it always seems to be happy doing less than ur expectations… kaya you should know when to accept it and when to strive higher still. wisdom is key my friends, and where do you get it… if di nyo lam, msg me, oki?

kaya ngayon pa lang im trying to prepare my life to face them jobs there. parang im buying expensive coffee na, taking 3pm noodle breaks, doing mock meetings with mock people… hehe, joke. ok, im starting with self-discipline, and its not that easy to break bad habits my friends. well, nuff said, i hope i rily find the job that is for me. Ü see you later, guys. God Bless! here is noki signing off… Bayang…

Adventure na ito! Ü Here we are in the beautiful secluded lake side of Hacienda Blastike (lake is not seen,trust my word na lang & let ur imaginations fill it in), mabuhay ang Konde Blastike! I am  with my batchmates enjoying fishy-wishies and coconut, gaano to kasarap? One word… UMAMI. (according to food specialists) Ü  Ayun before my stories run wild & run away from the topic, start na.

     As I was looking sa mga gorgeous pictures of us  (kung di kyo agree, sama natin pix nyo Ü), I remembered the good old days in college. When people never gave a second thought of "libre ko na kyo sa jeep pare". Actually my friend BJ helped in thinking of the topic. He mentioned kasi kanina that during an interview of her ate sa work she was asked, "What is your greatest achievement?" That made me think (error, error… di lang tlga sanay magwork brain ko ngyn, hehe). Actually the question can apply to anyone, from college students to working professionals especially… matanda na kasi kayo. Ü Ikaw if you were asked that question, what would you say or what do you want to do in the future that will be your greatest accomplishment? (either in college or in the far future) — parang nagkabaluktot na engleesh ko dun, anyways u knowing wat that is meaning ok.
   
     Ako in my college years, I think BJ’s ate and I have the same thing that we consider one of our great accomplishments. We both are grateful to have had the opportunity, while we were in UPLB, to build people into wonderful, excellent leaders who we know have the right principles and the strongest of foundations ("wink wink"– DG,LTI,OJ). And a joy in that is to see these leaders passing on the same legacy, the same vision, and the same heart to others… and you are now bonded to all these people for a great common denominator binds you. I am so thankful to have spent my college years as i did.

     For those who are still in college… as early as now, start to build the legacy you want to leave behind and for those already working… it’s not too late to start, as long as you are alive, you still have this chance. Ü As for me, yes, im still hard at work building my legacy. And this is a part of the principle that guides me: You only live once, so why not live for the cause which is the greatest, why not live for the cause which has an impact that matters, an impact that lasts. That is why i choose to live for Christ.
    
     Good Morning and God Bless! Ü
