Vampires: How to Deal with Difficult People
(Note: The title was taken from the latest talk series of Bo Sanchez at the Feast PICC. What I am going to share with you were my notes and reflections from the talk series as well). Nope, I’m not talking about Vampires Edward and Bella of Twilight Saga. Edward Cullen: gentle yet strong, brave yet calm, loving, highly disciplined, mysterious, phlegmatic, choleric, and the list goes on… His character is so endearing! Okay, enough about Edward Cullen. Let’s talk about the difficult people in our lives or what Dr. Albert J. Bernstein coined as emotional vampires. Emotional Vampires “Not just annoying people, but darkly seductive. Emotional Vampires draw…

Money Management Talk by Francis Kong
Last week, I attended a Money Management Talk by one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in Asia — Mr. Francis Kong. The talk was conducted in a prestigious hotel in Bonifacio Global City and was attended by over a hundred participants. Here were the highlights of his talk (as how I understood them). Money is central. In a good-humored way, he said that “Someone who says that money is not important doesn’t have money.” Money is the most talked about issue.

YOU are Important! :)
You are important. When I was in college, I had a friend/dorm mate who was part of a play in U.P. Diliman. She was very happy about it. Every night, she would arrive in the dorm late because they had to rehearse for the play. She even asked for a special pass from the dorm management because the practice usually ended at past 1am and our dorm curfew was at 12 midnight. Finally, the big day came. She gave me and my best friend (also a dorm mate) two complimentary tickets. My best friend and I were so happy and proud of our friend as we excitedly watched…

Before Ever After with Samantha Sotto
While jogging around Bonifacio Global City sometime in October 2011, I asked my friend what book she was reading. My friend loves to read fiction books! “I’m reading Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto.” she answered. “The author’s name sounds Filipino. Is she Pinay?” I asked. “Yes, I think she is. Guess what?! The setting was in Madrid!” She exclaimed. My friend was excited because we just came from Madrid (and other parts of Europe) when we attended the World Youth Day sometime in Aug 2011. When I got home, I googled Samantha Sotto right away. I learned that indeed, she’s Pinay; she’s a full time…
