My life song:

Who am I that the Lord of all the earth would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I that the Bright and Morning Star would choose to light the way for my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done but because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow;
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord You catch me when I'm falling;
And You've told me who I am -- I am Yours.

Who am I that the eyes that see my sin would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I that the voice that calmed the sea would call out through the rain and calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done but because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow;
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord You catch me when I'm falling;
And You've told me who I am -- I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
Coz I am Yours, I am Yours..

Calculus taught me the concept of exponential growth and decay. It explains basically the idea of suddenly having so many (or so few) of a certain variable within an amount of time, an idea which you would not be able to comprehend if you thought about it in a linear way. Indeed, this concept is very important if you need to understand how populations (of living things), concentrations (of certain solutions), kinetics (of chemical reactions), and many other things, behave.

Ortigas avenue taught me a similarly important concept: the exponential delay. Allow me to exlpain this using the following data.


Lesson learned? Time is gold.. No. Time is platinum.

I want to own a car. And I'm setting a deadline for myself: Sept. 13, 2009, my 25th birthday.

To meet my goal though, I have to cut back on my expenses as much as I can (say for example my monthly fare budget). And I have to think of ways to increase my savings - it would be very hard to just rely on whatever's left of my monthly income. I've always wanted to have a business of my own, but that would require capital and effort from me, both of which I don't have as of now.

And so I thought of joining a MLM-Direct Selling thing... One that would be easy to manage and whose products are made here in the Philippines. Of course, buy Pinoy, sell Pinoy! And I'm glad I found one: AVON!

People say that if you have a dream you must chase it. I'm chasing my car now.

People often describe me as friendly. And I enjoy the fact that I am. Having many friends in many different places makes your stay in wherever that is extra memorable.

Lately, I again had a chance to meet and be friends with "new" people through our company organized activity - the VAEP. Those who have undergone this team building activity were unanimous in saying that it was fun, and that definitely we'll enjoy it. Indeed I did!


But of course the downside of that is that after the 2-day activity, we all have to be back to our respective departments, and get-togethers like that will be very very rare, even close to no chance at all. That just means i got attached again, because I already know that I will miss our VAEP batch.

I think they all enjoyed the VAEP as well as I did. I just hope the HR will organize the VAEP 2 in such a way that all of us will be batchmates again.
