Here's to the crazy ones... Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Nice, moving ad, don't you think? I can definitely relate. The irony of it though is how majority of the people who use Mac products are not the crazy ones in the wise, forward-thinking way anymore. They buy Mac precisely because it's the "in" thing... and they're only crazy because they buy expensive stuff when there are cheaper versions by other brands. Nonetheless, I like the ad, and I'd like to have an Apple iPod and a Mac Book. :P And yeah, I hope I get one idea crazy enough to change the world, and…

Has Life Been Boring?
People (the few who really read my blog anyway) must be wondering why my blog has been quite inactive. There used to be a time when I would blog two or three times on this personal blog. Now, it's more like two or three times a week. So how has life been? Fortunately, I haven't run out of interesting things to blog about. Unfortunately, I have been running out of time to blog. As a certain wise person once said, "blogging is a slacker's job." And as I have been getting more work, getting involved in more things, I have lost most of my precious time to blog about the more personal/emo stuff. And even as I blog now, I feel guilty because I am not sleeping yet as normal people are supposed to do... and I am supposed to be doing or thinking of other stuff. BOOHOO! Life has been interesting. I have been going to different places (within Davao, that is), meeting new people, getting more jobs and projects, and I will be going to Manila soon for iBlog 4. I will be a speaker there. CHAR NO?! I still have to prepare my presentation, though. Heck! I…
I'm Sick
I have so many things to do... blogs to maintain, businesses and events to run, people to deal with. But the weather is not cooperating. The daily weather here is veryyy weird. Most mornings are hot, while we have rains (strong ones) in the afternoons, followed by cool evenings. That is definitely not good. I have a weak immune system, and is an asthmatic. Sometimes my allergies characterized by sneezing, watery eyes, and colds are triggered by the erratic weather. NOT GOOD! I have already taken Ventolin for my asthma, Celestamine for my allergies, and multiply capsules of Fern-C to boost my immune system. GRAWRRR! I hope I start feeling better soon, because the alternative of talking stronger anti histamines will make me sleepy, and will render me unable to work. A bigger GRAWRRR!
Holy Week Boredom
While most people have been looking forward to the super long work-free vacation that is Holy Week, I have been dreading it. Traditionally, we go to our rest house during the Holy Week. But well, due to certain circumstances I'd rather not blog about anymore, I had a super boring Holy Week last year. And this year, well,... seems like it's going to be an even more boring time. My cousin Gwing is in USA leaving me and Kuya Andrew with just each other. OH NOES! Last year, Gwing and her siblings, with me and Kuya spent time together during Holy Week, whining about how boring it was, and trying to find establishments that were open. Now, it's just me and Kuya. Good thing I'm squatting at his house again so I get to work. BOOORING! I have already made three videos in the span of 24 hours, blogged, obsessed over my Google Analytics, downloaded some Internet Marketing resources, and a lot more which I already forget. And it's only Holy Thursday. Three more days!!! I plan on blogging some more, making more videos, bugging people to blog about Davao FAT, writing some speeches and articles, working on my Google…
Sad and Hurt
There are times when are so narrow-minded and closed to new, unknown things that we begin to hurt people. We see ourselves and our actions differently from how others perceive us. For us, what we are saying and doing are what is right and proper. Yes, it might be what is true and right, but it doesn't mean it is not hurtful or that it can be wrong. Sometimes, we can have the best intention but fail to deliver our message properly because we simply do not know how to say things properly, how to get the message across. Instead of showing concern, we become harsh and hurtful. Instead of making a person feel important and loved, we make them feel like they are stupid and wrong. There is always a way to say and do things such that it does not hurt or make a person scared. Just because you think you are right and have the reasons and logic to think so, doesn't mean that you are. And being smug about it, simply does not improve the situation. Even when people are wrong or have judged wrongly, they feel pain and hurt.
