Alaala

Naalala kong mahal kita
naalala ko kung paano ang maging masaya
naalala kong pangarap kita
naalala ka ng puso ko, hanggang ngayon

Nandito, nadoon
Ganun kalayo
ikaw, ako, tayo
ganun kalabo

Araw at Buwan
Liwanag at Dilim
Ganung 'di magtagpo
Langit at lupa
parehong di natin abot

Mananatili ang alaala mo
sa puso kong di makalimot
sa alaala mong nagiwan ng malalim na tanda

Alaala ikaw hindi ng isip
Ngunit ng pusong nagparaya sa 'yo
Alalahanin mo ako
Alalahanin mo tayo
kahit sa alaala lang.... tayo

How to be a successful person

I may be the laziest person in the entire universe living today and I don't have the credibility to ever suggest how to become a successful person but I wanted to change that.

Well, according to the book that I am reading (see for review: Leadership isn't for cowards) well, what you are doing (mostly) in a day that's what your heart's desire (well, I may be wrong in remembering it. But at least that's what struck me :) )

Anyhow, I am really am so tired of my life full of disappointments, blame, and what else? hatred? oh well name all the negative adjectives, I believe I have them in my checklist.

So, I know that change is not as easy as what Michael Jackson's song A-B-C-1-2-3, but I know I have to do something for me to become a successful one. 

Well, I have to identify the things that causes trouble in my life. If I can't identify it -- I'll ask my friends if they have (troubles) issues with me, then at least that will able me to see the other side of the coin.

Okay, here are my issues  in life: (well, if my parents will ever read this post, OKAY.)
1. LAZINESS - in all forms (YES I HAVE THEM)  
2. CONFIDENCE - I don't have them
3. INSECURITIES - Yep. I am insecure hehe
4. TOO GENTLE to a fault - yes I am.
5. TOO SENSITIVE to be INSENSITIVE

Now, the next step here is to identify specifically what I am talking about above. (Well, I have to know what's causing each and every issues in my life) and be able to provide sound solution that follows S.M.A.R.T.

1. Laziness 
    Who are not? I believe the best word for me when it comes to laziness is procrastination. Yes I do -- I procrastinate things that I think are not "fun" or difficult (for me) or something that I don't simply like doing. I put them aside. For some reason, TV entertains me. Talking entertains me. Having fun entertains me. I love doing all the fun things -- if you'll notice these are the things that doesn't need for me to think or give solutions to. Basically, I love things that won't require critical thinking or giving solutions too (especially if it requires mathematical skills). I don't hate math, I hate the fact that I am solving a problem. Math is cool.

Solution:
I believe, I am too fool of myself. I think that I am too weak to be able to push myself to become better. It's not that bad to use my brain cells for once in a while. Besides, I am in a very difficult world that requires all my left-side brain. I am taking my masters, I am a leader in the Church, I am a manager. I should have a strong, clear head.

Changing my perspective in my life should be a great help especially when I am giving in to my procrastination. 

Also, I have to decide what are the things that are important to me. I have to set my priorities straight. I fail to identify them (actually I have not! I just identified and prioritized the wrong things)

to be continued....

Growth Indicators

GBCC Sunday Worship Service
September 23, 2012

In all that God has done for us, how can we respond in a way that is leasing to Him?
Whom will we conform?
Which Pattern to follow? God's or worlds?

I. Change of Position (vs. 1-2)
Because of God's mercy, God is willing to forgive all our sins.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world

What are the practical way to change of position?
When you accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, you should be able to change the position of your life.
It must be according to the principles of God through the Bible.
It must me in the position of God's.

What's your position?
What are the practical way to change of position?

1. Remember Your Identity v.1
     a. Uniqueness, Distinctiveness
     b. Living Sacrifices

:. All of the things that we are doing must be used / done for the glory of God.


2. Recognize your limitations V.2a - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
    a. Lifestyle different from what the world dictates 
    b. Live as citizen of the future world (heaven)
    c. Life's transformation begins with the way think

The transformation of our life begins when we change the way we think

3. Realize Your Purpose - v.2b 
    a. To please God, to give glory to Him
    b. The tool we use to know His purpose is the Word of God

II. Change of Perception - vs. 3-5
    a. Right Measurement v3
        .The key to an honest and accurate evaluation is knowing the basis of our self-worth - our identity in Christ -- 
         . Apart from Jesus Christ, we cannot do anything.
         . Evaluating yourself by the worldly standards of success and achievement can cause you to think too much about your 
            worth in the eyes of others and thus miss your true value in God's eyes -- We must evaluate ourselves according to 
            God's standard.
         . Neither and inflated ego nor a deflated person is free to obey.
    b. Right Motivation v. 4
         . Understand how the church operates or functions
         . Each one has special function different from each other
         . Understand that not everyone has the same gifts nor all the gifts

         The church operates as one body. 

    c.  Right Mindset v. 5
        . Understand your value to the church and to each other (as part of the body)
        . Humbly recognize our partnership in the body of Christ
        . Only then can our gifts be used effectively, and only then can we appreciate other's gifts.

       We humbly submit to each others.

III. Change of Performance (vs 6-8) -  We have different gifts
     a. Gifts are for each member of the body of Christ
         . Speaking or Serving
     b. Gifts are given for Church growth - cf. Ephesians 4:11-12
         . Gifts fulfill their value as they are utilized for the benefit of others or the church
     c. Gifts are for using not for having
         . The list of gift is representative not exhaustive
         . It would be difficult for one person to embody all these gifts
         . An assertive prophet usually would not make a good counselor, and a generous giver might fail as a leader

God design all the Christian churches to succeed and not to fail.

TAO LANG AKO

Ito ang kauna-unahang tagalog blog ko. Sinadya kong gawin ito sa wikang mas komportable akong gamitin.
Napakahirap para sa aking tanggapin ang mga hindi magagandang bagay na ginagawa sa akin ng mga taong tinuring kong kaibigan at kapamilya.
Mahirap pero sa "Corporate" na mundo madaming ganito. Tama sigurong sabihin na ako ay isang "naive"  kung baga sa english o walang masyadong karanasan sa mga pangyayari sa mundong ito.

Minsan gusto kong magtanong sa Diyos kung bakit ako ay naririto sa lugar ko ngayon bilang isang tiga-pamahala ng isang dayuhan ngunit pilipinong kompanya.
Hindi ko din mai-alis sa aking isipan ang madami kong pagkukulang sa mga nakalipas na buwan at madalas kong maisip ang isuko nalang ang lahat at magbitiw sa aking puwesto.
Naiisip kong magbitiw sa madaming kadahilanan ngunit sa tuwing pinapaalala sa akin ng napakabuting Diyos na mayroon akong "purpose" kung bakit ako andito ngayon.

Nais kong sumuko dahil sa tingin ko, wala na akong nagawang mabuti at lahat ay maituturing na palpak. Anumang gawin ko, hindi tama sa panagin ng aking pinakamamahal amo.

Ako ay nagpapasalamat dahil ang Diyos ay hindi ako iniwan. Salamat sa kanya dahil sa tuwing mahirap ang gawain, at talagang mahirap para sa akin, meron akong tulong na natatanggap mula sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kin. At mula kay Katherina na aking "immediate" na amo.

Hindi naman ako nangangamba dahil ang lahat ng ito ay para sa aking ikabubuti. Tama ang si Katherina, ako ay tao lang. Gagawin ang lahat ng makakaya ko upang sa ikagaganda at ikalalago ng kompanya, ngayon, kung sa tingin ng madami ay hindi maganda -- ang sa akin ay ginawa ako sa tingin ko ay tama at maninindigan ako sa tama at sa Panginoon.

Purhin ang Panginoon dahil pwede akong pasalamatan at purihin sya sa mga ganitong pangyayari sa aking buhay. Salamat sa Diyos.

I Did My Best But I guess My Best Wasn't Good Enough

It's a song. A song for those people who:
* Did their best in their exams but failed
* Almost yes but she said no
* and whatever events in your life that you failed.

For me, it's my MBA exams...

Okay that's a very lame excuse.

The End in Mind

Have you ever felt that feeling that you don't know what you are doing and what you want to do in life? Have you ever felt so lost in your career?

Well, that's what I am feeling at the moment. A friend of mine said that to go to where my strengths are. -- I have given that a thought. 

Is it stupid to ever think of something that I would love to do? So let's begin at the end.

Now, How do I see myself in 20 years? the Answer: Owning a growing restaurant.

Okay.. that's cool but my second question is, is that what I would like to put up? lol but all I know is that I would like to put up a family business that all my family members will be joining and we will grow it.

Until next blog!

What the ?!?!?!

So, Whatever happens to me in the past months and years? It has been so looong ago.
But I am back doing blogging. 

So here it is..
One, I am frustrated that I couldn't talk to anyone about what I am feeling, and sometimes I want to care what I will say but I couldn't help it. LOL

SO what do I want to say? Well something like I want to do something but I am too lazy to do it! LAME right?

So what to do? What to do?????
