lessons i learned from...
myautumndream... whatever bitterness and difficulty one is facing, it will pass. one day you will look back and laugh at yourself for being stupid once
superwoman..God provides enough of what you need. and He will not give you any problem which you can't handle
favorite boss... everything happens for a reason, good or bad you will never know. just make the best out of any decision
an old friend... when you wanted to keep a distance from someone, take 2 steps at a time. soon, you will be totally over that person.
i did promise a continuation...
my bestfriend's ex gf... love yourself more than anyone else. at the end of the day, the person who will be there for you is no one but yourself.
my chinese best friend... choose someone who loves you more. a guy who loves you dearly will never hurt you.

how far they'll get what they cannot have
sometimes there are things in life we don't notice nor value however when one puts his eyes on it or claims it as his property, we began to give interests. or something like that.
in the series "kid nation" which is practically very funny. a kid devises an experiment on how weird or how people seems to amuse her... She wanted to check and see how far they'll go to get what they cannot have. She claims a small plot of land in the center of town and refuses to allow anyone to cross her borders without paying her a nickel!

love is a battlefield
(heard it in american idol just a few hours ago... beautifully sang by brooke white)
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
You're beggin me to go, youre makin me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love,
and I'm chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

emotions
when someone parts from us, it is natural to grieve. after we grieve, we lift everything to Him. all the pain subsides... He heals all wounds.
every pain is natural and will happen to all of us. our worrying too much will keep up us from the real thing that we are trying to hold on: LIFE.

such an amazing view! Kite Runner, the movie
this is the same "Kite Runner" which i posted recently. after reading the book and watched it on big screen last night, i couldn't help but recommend this movie. it is a must-see movie. i was deeply moved by this film, the depth of every character.
the kite runner
while watching a movie, i noticed the trailer of The Kite Runner. so immediately i got myself a copy of the book by Khaled Hosseini.
reading the first part of the book, i find myself loving it. simple writing which compels me to turn page to page. i hope to finish reading before the film's showing day.
the Kite Runner is about 2 friends who got separated by events. setting in Afghanistan, which shows a vivid picture of the country. and apparently the Afghan government has banned the film from being shown because of ethnic tensions that the movie pictures.
2/18 i am now reading chapter 8 and indeed this book interests me so so so much. it's not just a plain simple writing but it is full of surprises, and pain.

where i am mean, he's kind
where i am shallow, he's deep
where i am vindictive, he's forgiving
where i'm arrogant, he's humble
despite all these, he understands and loves unconditionally. and as i watched him, i couldn't help but be thankful to the One who sent him for me to love
27 dresses
at times like this where we have a number of political and government issues, a feel good movie is a breather.
the beautiful Dr. Izzie Stevens of Seattle Grace Hospital is Jane Nichols in the movie 27 dresses, the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride".
izzie is really pretty and cyclops is equally handsome.
a busy day 01.31.08
the day started with a meeting with our planners and warehouse personnel to talk about our consignment programs which is an advantage in the cash flow due to the delayed payment. however, it seems so illogical that we don't have any min-max inventory in placed. since i need to complete a pending action item, i have to meet concerned people and discuss the proposal to standardize this agreement. at the end of the meeting, the only issue raised was the delivery-on-time reporting. what the **!! i couldn't imagine how on earth can some people care about some reporting when we could have enjoyed the "real" benefit of the consignment agreement. oh earth, talk to me. where's the common sense in this world?
a conference call with other sites followed the meeting. a surprise conference call for me as i didn't have any idea what it was all about. talk about job delegation here. During the call, I couldn’t help notice how difficult it is to understand other site’s representatives speak. Having difficulty understanding them seems that my tongue was twisted and is having difficulty too. This leads me to my next topic, communicating clearly.
A working lunch for us, learning session on leadership values which starts with communicating clearly. This is an hr program which will be facilitated by the management team. The spoke person was our GM. He is a good speaker, makes him the best person to discuss the topic. The most important thread to tie all leadership value: clear communication. Good leaders are good communicators.
It was a well participated learning session. It emphasized the importance of clear exchange of thoughts and ideas. I know our GM as a good speaker, it was a disappointment for me on how he delivered this seminar. It was clear that he didn’t prepare the material as he skipped most of them. The slides were too lengthy and too wordy. You can almost read everything that was supposed to be said and described. Apparently, it was hr personnel who prepared the material although he provided the source book. As mentioned, the learning session and inputs sharing was effective… less the other participant’s way of uplifting themselves with the use of phrases like “i-did-this-and-it-was-effective”, “i-found-out-this-and-you-may-consider”, and all the other “i-so and so”. Oh, shut up you people.
The rest of the afternoon was spent reading emails, follow ups for quotations, updating the rfq file, revising purchasing process for proposal and until finally I have the time to do some research for my paper. Thanks to the available materials in the document center as I’m such a neophyte when it comes to demand management and forecasting planning.
Time to go home, I dropped by my brother’s place as he is leaving the country tomorrow. This makes me nostalgic, (how I love this word, nostalgia) Got to give him the neck tie for his job interview, he will definitely look good on it. And I get to have his old books. Yippee! A treasure for me
Nice seeing him… some thoughtful brother he is. He forgot to inform me a little detail of his life. He got married a week ago and his beautiful wife is having a baby on my favorite month – May. Yeah, I almost had a heart attack upon hearing that news. Good thing that I remember I don’t have any heart failure or illness, hehe. Nevertheless, uninvited and uninformed as I was, I am truly happy. I love them both dearly.
Then, a well deserved dinner with Elias.
It was time to go back to work. I forgot to send the meeting minutes earlier. And lastly, time to finalize my paper. I am back to the world of demand management, forecasting planning, material replenishment scheme, reorder point etc…
Oppps… caught BF. He just left a few minutes ago. He slept in the car again!
lesson from india's ancient wisdom
the easiest thing to be in the world is you.
the most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be.
don't let them put you in that position.
