Quarterly we conduct a Kultura session in our office. It’s a workshop for all employees to loosen us up despite of stressful situations at work.Today’s Kultura is about “personality". Ma’am Aly quoted some personality myths which often hinders us from getting to know other people.


My favorite part was about the "Johari Window" technique created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham. This reminds of High school when we’re asked to perform it several times in group activities.


Johari Window Simply states the following: Window 1 is the part of ourselves that we see and others see. Window 2 is the aspects that others see but we are not aware of. Window 3 is the most mysterious room in that the unconscious or subconscious part of us is seen by neither ourselves nor others. Window 4 is our private space, which we know but keep from others.


So here in the office, were asked to write down positive adjectives to describe our office mates. Here’s what I got (and syempre I posted it)


I just come into realization. There are some things that we don’t appreciate about ourselves, but surprisingly other people recognizes it. Same goes with the bad habits that we have, that we need other people to remind us.

Twinkle is 10 months now. The whole family adores her so much, most especially my mom. Now, she’s starting to be stubborn since she knows that she can manipulate us with her puppy eyes. 😊


I’m having trouble feeding her food on time since she have tasted several table food. That’s the consequence when you feed them other food. Since our shih tzu has great passion for human food, she will do all sort of tricks with matching puppy eye that would surely melt your heart. The next thing you know is that you have already gave in to her trap.

This little boy is a potential model/ actor/ dancer and singer! Can you believe it at the age of four he can memorize modern songs. He’s good also in picking up dance steps. Not to mention the boy-next-door feature just like his uncle Mark.

This was my first attempt of prortrait drawing. Putting all lessons from drawing eyes, nose, ears and lips. Viola! Here’s the result. I’m not yet good with shading. Not satisfied either with the result. Face feature is not yet proportionate and I lack with shading abilities too. So, i need to go back to step I - pencil shading techniques.

I'm back to Art Attack! Yay!

I was inspired to bring back the old me so inclined doing artworks when I saw an art class at Fully Booked Greenbelt 3. Part of my wishlist is to collect coloring materials just like I used to when I was in College and before Ondoy devastated my art set.


I have great deal of obsession in collecting color pens. I’m a big fan of Dong-A My-Gel pens. I use to collect all set of pens from gel pens, metallic pens and candy pens.

My second project is to buy a pencil drawing book to somehow help me out. I’m starting with drawing still objects then next will be portrait. I bet the portrait drawing will be a big challenge for me since I’m used to drawing anime only.

I'm getting there to obesity

My siblings kept on reprimanding me about my weight. Yeah, I know I’m getting fat but I’m not taking too much pressure on myself. Not until I saw it for myself, while I was standing in front of the mirror. I can see the protruding love handles with matching bulging cheeks. My The weighing scale can also testify the numbers, from 122 lbs to 130 lbs. The 130 lbs is screaming on my face. 


I guess, now I should take it seriously. How in earth will I loose 15 lbs. since my ideal weight as per the nutritionist advice is 115 lbs.


I subscribed myself and marko for 9 months in gym. Marko also, hired a PT to help us out with our routines. I thank him for being forever supportive with my weight endeavor. How I wish I can comply to my thrice a week visit in the gym despite of this erratic schedule of ours.


Now, I guess I should take things seriously. I don’t want to end up so fat that there’s no point of getting back to the old me. Besides, this weight issue of mine is sucking all the confidence out of me and it’s freaking me out!


Wish me luck. From now on, I’ll be doing my training log.

Oh my………… Perfect!

I told myself that I would never fall for iPhone but here I am stumbling across the idea of acquiring one. What really caught my attention is the 8 MP iSight camera. I have tried it for myself in an apple store at Green belt and wow for the dramatic resolution. Apart from it, I planning to replace my itouch. Though buying an iPhone means farewell to my dual sim phone which I recently bought.


I need to close more deals so I can buy one for myself.

Be an artist not a painter - Francis kong

As I woke up, do my regular routine by checking my emails before I go to work. I read this inspirational quote from Francis Kong: A wise person says: “The difference between ordinary and extra ordinary is that little extra!” Do your best work today and for the rest of this week. Do not be a painter, be an artist. Always give more than what you are paid for. This is the path to success.


Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Often times, I’m slacking off at work. Having break more than 1 hour in a day, sometimes spending a couple of minutes again checking my Facebook page and not to mention day dreaming at times. It’s me being a painter. If I wanted results to be done, I better start being an artist. Create a masterpiece for my career.
