M.C.

Dito sa Singapore kapag umaabsent ka sa school or sa work, ang tawag nila ay M.C. na ang ibig sabihin po ay Medical Certificate. LOL! Ampanget 'noh, pero sa totoo lang, ito ang hobby ko dito, ang mag-MC kahit wala namang sakit. Kaya eto pwede na yata akong magtayo ng botica sa dami ng naipon kong gamot, dito kasi kapag nagpunta ka sa Doctor para makakuha ng MC eh kasama na sa bayad mo yung gamot. Sa 'Pinas pag di ka pumasok sa work dahil may sakit ka (kuno) 'di mo na need mag-produce ng Med Cert... or kung absent ka naman sa school ang kelangan mo lang ay excuse letter galing sa magulang.

Eh teka, ba't ko naman naisipan na i-blog ang MC? Wala lang, eh kasi ang tagal kong naka-MC dito sa blog ko. Medyo busy-busyhan kasi ang lola nyo nitong mga nakaraang linggo. Pero ba't naman ako nage-explain eh wala namang nagtatanong, wahahah! Parang ako lang din naman yata ang nagbabasa ng sarili kong blog, harujoskoh, 'kakaawa.

Basta magbo-blog pa rin ako.

25 Truths About Time

1. Time is a limited resource - you can't make more of it. But, you have more time than you need if you use it wisely.

2. You choose how to spend your time.

3. Time is elastic - you can stretch it or compress it.

4. Do what matters to you.

5. Eliminate shoulds and coulds.

6. Be early always. Take along something to read or do in case you have to wait.
7. Plan your year, months, weeks and days to help you stay focused on those things that matter most to you.

8. But, don't plan your time out to the last second. Leave time for crisis, chaos, surprises. Leave time for serendipity.

9. Slow down.

10. Set goals that matter to you - that you want to achieve.

11. Take time away from work. 100 percent away. Phone off, Blackberry off, computer off. Take time away a bit every day, a bit every week. Get away four weeks per year.

12. Live in the present. The past is gone - no matter how much time you spend agonizing over it, it will not change. If you need help letting go of the past, get it. The future isn't here yet - worrying about it will not make it better or worse. Only action taken now can make a difference.

13. When deciding what to work on, I like to think about Return On Time Invested (ROTI). ROTI is a particularly useful concept for the entrepreneurs, professionals and business owners. ROTI is simply the revenue, or profit that an activity is likely to generate divided by the time the activity will take.

14. If you are self-employed, set a dollar value on your time and choose to get it.
15. Fully handle things once. Finish them completely and permanently.

16. Say no often. Offer to help less often.

17. Under-promise.

18. Choose to associate with people and organizations who help you extract the most value out of each of your minutes. Choose not to associate with people and organizations who waste your time.

19. Solve your own problems. Let others solve their own problems.

20. On the other hand, don't be afraid to ask for help.

21. Focus. Don't multi-task. You'll get more done, and at a higher quality level.

22. Take a real break in the middle of the day.

23. Enjoy the process, not just the result.

24. Listen fully before responding. You'll waste less time answering the wrong question or responding to the wrong concern.

25. Let it be.

Semana Santa

1) Pride. (Amour Propre/Mataas Na Pagtingin sa Sarili) Pride and vanity are competitive. If someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride.
* Seeing ourselves as we are and not comparing ourselves to others is humility.

2) Envy. (Inggit/Selos)  Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times.
* "Love is patient, love is kind…" Love actively seeks the good of others for their sake.

3) Wrath. (Galit)  Anger is often our first reaction to the provocation of others. Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.
*   Kindness means taking the tender approach, with patience and compassion.

4) Sloth. (Katamaran) The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
* Zeal is the energetic response of the heart to God's commands.

5) Greed. (Kaswapangan) Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more. This is about more than money.
* Generosity means letting others get the credit or praise. It is giving without having expectations of the other person.

6) Gluttony. (Katakawan) This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.
* Faith and Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance.

7) Lust. (Kamunduhan) Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control.
* Self control and self mastery prevent pleasure from killing the soul by suffocation.

Slip Into Happiness

I sooooo love her. Her real name is Christine Gambito, better known as HappySlip, she's an internet celebrity and a popular YouTube content provider. She became famous for her VLOGS especially the ones where she spoof members of her family. In May of 2007, she became one of the first YouTube users accepted into YouTube's revenue sharing program.

She attributes her nickname "HappySlip" to her mother's mispronunciation of "half slip". "Christine, be sure to wear your happyslip!" is her mom's constant reminder while she was growing up as a teenager. She was born and raised in Virginia, her parents are both Filipinos, she worked on and off as a nurse for about eight years, quitting only when she gave birth to her son in 2005.

This 31-year old vlogger is naturally funny and has amazing acting talents, not to mention she can sing, play the piano and guitar. In 2008, Christine was appointed by DOT as Ambassador of Tourism giving her a chance to revisit the Philippines, the first time she has been to Philippines was when she was a toddler.

These are my favorite HappySlip videos...
