Wednesday, 30 April 2008 I haven't been updating this blog for...I don't know how long. It feels like a month. :DI've been busy doing one thing on top of the other, whether it's with Leap or with work or with everything else that doesn't fall under those two categories. And it's not really because I do not have the time to squeeze in a few minutes of updating. Mainly because I haven't really allowed myself to just stop and take a look back at everything that has been happening. I figured now is the time to take that little breather. :D So what have I been up to?
Back to work! Busy day ahead! :)

Tuesday, 15 April 2008 I had a brief moment of panic earlier tonight.About patterns. Am I in danger of falling back into a particularly old, self-sabotaging one? God. I do not even want to go there. Sorry, talking to myself lang.

Monday, 14 April 2008 I had the best weekend! :)I went to Pansol, Laguna with the gang and it was just so much fun. We rented a house and we spent the whole weekend swimming, drinking by the pool, eating and the night doing videoke--mostly songs by The Beatles! It was exactly what I needed after the endless string of activities I had the past few weeks. As in we were just goofing around in the pool--staging "synchronized swimming" contests (may criteria pa! haha), laughing at each other's faces underwater, and talking about everything BUT work. haha I loved it. The best part of the weekend, however, was when we left Pansol to go hang out at UPLB. It wasn't planned, we weren't planning on leaving Pansol until around 8pm but it turns out we had to check out at around 5pm. We were going to this place called Magnetic Hill but it was already closed so we went over to UP. Laid a couple of blankets on the grass and we were all on our backs gazing at the moon and the stars. A halo formed around the moon that night. Sublime. It was a night ripe for talking about ghosts and spirits and other supernatural topics. Hehe Zeph and I were watching Across the Universe on his iPod (I looooved the movie! I love The Beatles!!) while the others were listening to Wes. He had his third eye open and he was getting a feel of the place. He was telling us about spirit guardians and elementals, etc etc. I used to be so skeptical about these things but then I realized there are really times when I just cannot for the life of me explain how something happened, why the hairs on the back of my neck are suddenly standing and why I sense sudden changes in energy in a certain room, or even the mere feeling that there is somebody watching me when, really, it was just me alone in the room...I suppose it opened me up to the idea that not everything can be explained by plain logic. Hehe Anyway. I feel so rejuvenated. Last weekend really helped replenish the energy I lost the past couple of weeks. I feel inspired again. Motivated. The week is off to a great start. :) And to think I was thinking of staying in at home for the weekend. Thanks Pinks...for talking my stubborn ass into going! hahaha :D LEAP 36 is starting in two weeks! I'm making the most out of what's left of my free time because after the last weekend of April, my schedule will start becoming impossible again! haha But I'm really excited! I can't wait until I start coaching. Pre-coaching has already left me feeling satisfied. I really feel I am beginning to make a difference and it is just the most rewarding feeling ever. :)

Accept your fear - there’s nothing shameful in it. Next time you shy away from a situation, stop and say to yourself, “I’m scared, but I’m still going to do it.” As you acknowledge your feelings and keep going forward in spite of them, your self-worth and self-confidence will rise. The adrenaline from fear will change to the excitement of anticipation. Suddenly, you’ll realize the emotion you’re feeling has turned into sheer enthusiasm! -Email from Cris :)

Wednesday, 9 April 2008 I miss the beach. Walking barefoot in the sand.  Seeing the sun set across the horizon.  Boat rides.  Making my mark. Complete with footprints. Haha.  EATING ICE-COLD TREATS!!!  Damn you sore throat. GO THE HELL AWAAAAY!!!!!!!!! Hehe. This is actually an angry post. Friggin heat. I practically melted on my way to work. The bus ride was a nightmare. I was sandwiched between two sweaty guys. Huhu. Price you pay for not buying your own car. I want a banana smoothie! Labels: summer

This summer, I'm finding love. Wahahaha I know major cheese. I think it's all The Beatles' fault. I've been listening to "I will" repeatedly. It's driving me nuts! hahaha But speaking of relationship matters, I found closure. Rather, closure found me. I'm really happy about it. :)

There has been too much clutter in my head. Events happening every now and again--I'm out almost every day of the week, caught up in work and all my Leap-related activities. I'm not saying it's bad because I thoroughly enjoy what I am doing right now. I suppose you could say I just forgot to take a breather. Anyway, I guess that's what prompted the lack of new blog entries. I put so much energy into my activities that I have none left to write about them. I guess I just needed to slow down. Which is what I'm doing right now. I'm supposed to go to a surprise birthday party for my friend Ali but I'm staying home to rest. I need to re-energize. I'll definitely update more frequently in the weeks to come. I want every moment of the next couple of months to be documented here. It's going to be an interesting summer. :) The Leap 36 Orientation was last Tuesday and I hosted the event with TJ! Hahaha tang ina that was a first for me! Before Leap, I never would've ventured into hosting. Wahaha We already have around 20+ students enrolled and I've started to pre-coach some of them. It has been really overwhelming. I just can't put into words the exact emotion I am feeling every time I say something that would cause that sudden change of expression in I and B. As in you know you just managed to ignite something in them--a spark of hope, a sudden burst of clarity, a sense of purpose perhaps? Basta ang galing!!! :) If anyone is interested in taking the leadership workshop I am talking about, we have a scheduled Foundations of Leadership Excellence (FLEX) Workshop this coming weekend, April 5 to 7. It'll be a small group this weekend so this will definitely enable you to really make the most out of the weekend that is devoted to your personal growth :) Venue is at the 5th floor of Emerald Building, Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The workshop will start at 9am. :) Damage is P6,000 but you may re-audit the seminar whenever you want. And I guarantee you won't regret shelling out money once you've taken these workshops. They are life-changing, I tell you. I can vouch for it. :) FLEX is the first part of a Leadership Trilogy Program conducted by the Organizational Change Consultants International (OCCI). To learn more about OCCI and their vision (see my entry title), click here. Hope to see some of you tomorrow!
