Just Dance!

I came home late from a party last night with my parents where my Mom was a principal sponsor for a wedding. Well, I suddenly just remembered the times when I would worry going home at once to wake up early the next day to get back to work. I really won’t miss those times when we all have this “Monday-laziness” and to add insult to injury, you get to have a lot of stress rushing altogether with other commuters, getting to wonder why Monday mornings are a lot more jampacked than the rest of the week.

As I am writing this down, I feel very content that I get to have an extension of my weekend for monday mornings where I don’t have to rush to go to somewhere and sit back for a while to rethink on how the week should go about. I think we all need that and I think this is something that most people do not do at the start of the week. We should always set our realistic goals for the week so that bit by bit, chunk by chunk, we get to accomplish our agendas for the year, that most of the time seems hard to accomplish, but in reality, it’s because we don’t take time to chrun it to pieces and attack it bit by bit.

I don’t see myself an expert in this, cause I know I have a lot more to learn, but I am sharing this because so far it is working. I look forward to a bright and positive year ahead of me. I hope everyone will have a fruitful one also.

Ang Sabi ni Bob Ong…

1. “Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”

2. “Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”

3. “Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”

4. “Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”

5. “Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”

6. “Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.”

7. “Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.”

8. “Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”

9. “Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.”

10. “Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.”

11. “Hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.”

12. “Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima , sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.”

13. “Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.”

14. “Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.”

15. “Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.”

16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala”

17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan”

18. “Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”

19. “Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.”

20. “Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”

21. “Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal…nakakatakot mahulog…at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka..”

Well, I had a relaxing day today (which I am glad has been a very typical scenario since I started putting up my own business, fulltime). I came from the gym today (Fitness First MOA) and attended the Retro Class headed by Shem. We had a nice time with the Retro Barkadas. Most of the regulars at Fitness Manila were also there. Knowing Shem, she always picks the oldest retro songs that’s why it makes us feel as if we did not do our assignments everytime a very old music taught before is played. We got used to dancing the new ones kasi.

Well, business was fluorishing today. Got to collect some good cash in UP and made a lot of deliveries today. Seems like my January sales will be a good opening salvo for 2010. Hope the election fever will continue to pump up my revenues for this year. I also look forward to closing more deals and getting to beef up more quality customers. I also hope to be able to collect the whole amount Myrna (my pasaway client in UP) that she lacks. This time I am not so worried unlike that customer last year who almost did the same thing to me of paying the whole 100K debt by the 500s every other day. Imagine I had to ask the driver to go all the way to Manila to collect 500 until the whole 100K is sufficed. But the good thing is, the dues were fully paid after 6 months of religiously collecting.

At least with Myrna, her debts are backed by checks. If she fails to pay on the dates that she promised, I’ll deposit her checks. But of course, it will really be a perfect feeling to get lots of sales without all these concerns about bad collection, but of course that’s the reality of business, you win some, you lose some. To be successful, boost your profits and cut your losses to zero as much as possible.

I look forward to a bright new day, week and year ahead. I am thankful to all the wonderful people in my life right now, for helping me achieve this positive outlook in life.

Well, it’s the usual Monday-morning-sickness. I’m just thankful every single day that I didn’t have to worry about waking up very, very early to catch the morning ride on my way to office (that was in Makati when I was still working for someone). At least right now, I can get an extended weekend even just for a few hours in the morning. I just realized that making a choice for yourself makes a lot of difference for things that might occur to you in the future. But sometimes, you wonder, do things that happen right now happen because of a big,single decision that you made or is it a series of small choices that led you to what you are today? Life is indeed such mystery, but what the heck, let’s all enjoy the ride, whatever interpretation we may see on how our lives unfold.

Wow, I can’t believe after quite some time, I started blogging again. Thanks to my good old friend (who’s not really old) Aliza, my bosom friend way back college. I am glad that despite the busy schedules and the long distances apart, we are able to find an avenue to update and communicate about each others lives. This is actually one of my new year’s resolution—  to be able to keep in touch with friends who matter to me.

So after doing plurk and tumbr all at the same day, I hope I could be able to do this all year round and not just a ningas-cogon thing hehehe. See you as often as I can!
