a scary movie that talks about LIFE's BEAUTY



I failed to sleep well last night. I actually slept at my mom's house in Balibago. I was with Charles and Steffi.

I could not figure out why exactly I had difficulty falling asleep. Perhaps, it's because I was mentally busy analyzing what may be in the head of my better-half. Something just went wrong somewhere. I wouldn't discuss it here. Or maybe, I was restless in bed last night because whenever I close my eyes, I always see images from the movie which I watched before going to bed. We watched SAW on cable.

Okay. Maybe that was it -- that SAW movie. It was a scary film, a psychological thriller. But its main theme is worth thinking about: PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVES ARE NOT GRATEFUL THEY ARE STILL ALIVE! The suspect who "played games" with people asked one of the victims: HOW MUCH BLOOD ARE YOU WILLING TO SHED IN ORDER TO SAVE YOUR LIFE?
The victims were placed in a difficult situation. Are they going to kill another person just to save their own lives?
The main character was a doctor who was cheating on his wife and was "very cold" to his daughter. He didn't seem to notice that he has a family to attend to. He was chosen to be locked in a room with a photographer who used to follow him and document all his whereabouts. The doctor had to kill the photographer if he wants to live and if he wants to see his family alive.
It wasn't easy because he was chained, and so was the photographer. He only had 8 hours to kill the photographer if he wants his family alive. He heard his wife and daughter being hurt by a killer through a cellphone. That made the doctor get really mad. He just decided to cut his foot just to escape and be able to live for his family. He also attempted to kill the photographer.
The ending was difficult to absorb. All of us were speechless whent he movie ended. We were, for a moment, staring at the credits of the movie. We couldn't believe the ending. Terrible. It is recommended for people who love scary films.
THANK GOD I AM STILL ALIVE!
The lesson is there: be grateful for each moment you spend with your family. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A HAPPY HOME.
Maybe I should watch SAW II.

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl

An Open Letter to my Daughter as She Goes Off to College

Dear Stef, I know you’re excited to go to college, meet new friends, and embrace a more fast-paced life in Manila. I’m also excited for you! I know that the physical distance between us will only make you become stronger and more prepared to face the real world once you’ve finished college. I want you to be fully equipped and well-prepared when that time comes. I’m confident you won’t have problems being on your own. As you know, I’ve been there – was then studying in Manila, away from my parent, since I was in high school, kaya pagdating ng college sa Baguio, halos end of semester na lang ako umuuwi. At least ngayon, meron nang FB, Twitter, Skype and ‘unli text and call’, so keeping in touch is no longer an issue. Pero siyempre, iba pa rin kapag we don’t see you every day para kumustahin ang araw mo. . . Well, malapit lang naman ang Manila from Angeles, and madali ka lang puntahan, or madali ka lang makauwi, but it’s still very different from what I’ve been used to. Ngayon, without y
