Started the year right with Prayer and Fasting (“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5). I honestly say that I asked God’s provision for the year ahead. I primarily prayed for the continued guidance of our businesses, excellence in health, and wonderful relationships. In as early as the… [Read more…]

For those who are lurkers, artists (and feeling artists), creative (and feeling creative), new startup founders, service providers, crazy ones, rockstars (and wannabe rockstars), confused, lazy to set personal goals, hate new year’s resolutions, rich and not famous, cool professors, afraid to start a new beginning, newly grads, about to get married but no job… [Read more…]

What’s the way to appreciate with what the year 2011 has done to you even if the business is slack in the first quarter, the mid-year somehow climbs up with the familiar curbs, and at the moment waiting for the slow closing? I have had another short winter experience in California including my second time… [Read more…]

People hope for a fresh start when a new year comes. Some people who are in tough situations still deny the negative vibes and wishing for at least a little change in their lives. Optimistic people may still feel inadequate due to constant competition in their environment. The short-lived desires that are inspired by the… [Read more…]

On September 11, 2001, I was in Carson in Los Angeles when my parents woke me up and said that an airplane hit New York’s World Trade Center. I immediately ran to the living room to have watched on TV when another plane hit the tower. I felt this saddest news in the history of… [Read more…]

Looking back when I was still your half The image disappears and the feeling pulls down my tears I knew I was talking to you at past midnight While my pillows are restless, I’m handcuffed It took years when I realized that it is easy and risky Yet the burden is light when I look… [Read more…]

I was watching game 2 of Lakers and Rockets at the business lounge of Cathay Pacific in Los Angeles airport while chatting with friends on YM, updating my status in Facebook, Twittering about some interesting topics, microblogging about the game, and joking with my friend John about Ruth’s Chris restaurant along Flamingo Rd. in Las… [Read more…]

I have not blogged about “Inside Steve’s Brain” book since I finished reading it last year. “Flip” was next in line but I skipped for a while after watching Good Morning America promoting Malcom Gladwell’s book “Outliers”. I must admit that I didn’t continue reading his other book “Tipping Point” not because it didn’t interest… [Read more…]

I decided to blog about “prosperity” after having listened to our pastor Joey Bonifacio’s consistency over the topic. The first time I heard about this particular topic was during the business seminar at VCF sometime more than a year ago. My friend Pogs Mendoza came along after convincing him that he needed to hear about… [Read more…]

I was conjuring up the past while I thought of treating my nieces a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. Usually, when you are a small kid, your parents will throw a party in either McDonald’s or Jollibee. It sometimes turns out to be a get together of your parents and their friends. You had no… [Read more…]

I would like to commend these people who without their knowledge have spared at least a single word that I absorbed and have helped me become a better person. These people are neither my immediate family members nor my relatives. Some of these people are ordinary people. Some of them don’t really know me. Some… [Read more…]
