Reviving the Intro of these Boys (Introvoys)
One of my greatest music influences when I was young, Introvoys, . I miss them. I miss their music. Just a week ago, Paco Arespacochaga (Introvoys' drummer) posted a picture on his twitter account twitter.com/arespacochaga. He wrote there, 1994, SLEX, on the way to a concert tour in Laguna. I replied, "the first time I saw you guys perform was during your campus tour in Canossa, Calamba Laguna in 1994. He replied, "that's the photo." For a moment, I thought of that night of December 16, 1994. I was with my cousins and my sister. My sister and I thought that our parents won't allow us to go. We were still young that time and Php 100 ticket was a big value that time. I guess they allowed us because we older cousins would accompany us. I was only a 1st-year high school student back then. I was nostalgic when Paco posted the photo. Aw, I truly miss these guys. My collection of their albums was in cassette form. We didn't have CD player before. I also had poster of them, a Line to Heaven poster. Something like this.

For Ashe's Boss (Quick Brown Fox) Day 1
Day 1 to write about him. Five months since the last time I saw him. I want to talk about him but my friends will try to avoid it. I just want you to know how much you're truly missed (by me). I will continue to dream of the day when I will finally meet you again. I won't force you to change. My only dream is a lifetime commitment with me.

People I Admire
I admire my parents when it comes to parenting. Of course! I don't know if I'm a good daughter. The only thing I know is I try to be a good person all the time so people won't question my parents how they raised me.
When it comes to selflessness, I admire Bro. Bo Sanchez. He is not selfish to share to other people his knowledge of how to become rich as he is. He also shares all the blessings he's been receiving to poor people. I admire that he wants to be a blessing to others.
When it comes to fitness, I love Cory Quirino. How old is she again? 58?! Well, well. I admire that she takes care of her health and wellness, keeping herself beautiful and young all these years.
When it comes to business, I truly admire Socorro C. Ramos (Nanay Coring), the matriarch of National Bookstore (the Philippines leading retailer of books, office supplies, and greeting cards). She built the business from scratch. Out of that small store, she dreamt to become big time in business world. Her innate entrepreneurial skills made her successful. Though, tough times came that she and her husband needed to rebuild National Book Store thrice; they didn't give up. Right now, they have ventured to several businesses including music stores, Tower Records and Music One, Gift Gate (the home of Hello Kitty and Swatch), and Crossings Department Store.
When it comes to understanding technology, I admire my favorite Taiwanese actor, Jimmy Lin. He knows a lot when it comes to cool and new gadgets. He even uses these in his business and actually creating big buckets out of being a techie geek.
When it comes to managing money, I admire Francisco Colayco. He teaches ways to manage money and increase your money flow.
When the going gets tough, I admire Ninoy Aquino. The first time I saw his tragic death was through Betamax (you have a hint of my age). I think that was a news recorded by my uncle. Of course, I didn't understand back then. It was just when I grew up, after the death of Cory Aquino and PNoy's campaign for 2010 presidential election, I got interested with his life. Somehow, in a very, very little circumstance, I was also a victim of politics. I wanted to speak out, but the people who were against me were powerful in my former company. They truly power tripped and hurt a lot of former employees. What I did, I left the company with dignity and respect from my other colleagues. As we all know, even death was chasing Ninoy, but he still came back here in his own country and wasn't afraid to face death for his fellow Filipinos. Truly a hero.
When it comes to great meal and cooking, I admire my mom, Tita Sophie, Atoy (my mom's brother and Tita Sophie's husband), and Tito Ben (RIP) (he was the one who made me eat kinilaw which I never ate when I was young). I think they're (we're) a family of great cooks. I hope I got those genes in cooking. What I admire about them is that when I appreciate a certain dish they make, the following week or several weeks later or even during special occasions, they will surely make that dish especially for me. Well, it's because I'm really appreciative when I feel great about certain stuff.
When it comes to music (composing songs in particular) I admire Ryan Cayabyab (my favorite songs that he composed are Smokey Mountain songs and Kay Ganda Ng Musika), Trina Belamide (You've Made Me Stronger and World Youth Day 1995 theme Tell the World of His Love) and Jimmy Antiporda (Maybe and Hurting Inside). I love their songs. I love how they put lyrics as well as the melody in their songs. No wonder, they're undoubtedly the three most certified award-winning composers in the Philippines. They composed a lot of OPM classics and I love OPM.
My generosity hero would still be Bro. Bo Sanchez as mentioned above.
Enviable lifestyle hero, I can't think of any. I guess Oprah Winfrey. You all know why. She's a woman of style and substance.
Do you know Elle Woods? She is the main character in the film Legally Blonde played by Reese Witherspoon. What I like about her accomplishments in this movie, she was tagged to be insensible, sluggish, stupid, etc because she was blonde. Her boyfriend dumped her and replaced her with a law student in Harvard University. In order to win her boyfriend back, she tried (with all her might) to pass the Harvard's entrance exam. Though she had her way in, still her boyfriend and his new girlfriend looked down on her. Anyway, for full synopsis of the film go here Legally Blonde. I love how Elle progressed in this film. I think she accomplished something out of being "just a blonde."
For travelling, I don't have any but I like to travel different places.
For incredible self-expression, I admire Korean actress (Kim Tae Hee). Well, she's my idol. She's pretty and intelligent at the same time. She's very true to herself. I love watching her series. I think she's an average actress but her presence in her series is really appealing.
For writing, I admire Paulo Coelho and Bo Sanchez. I love The Alchemist. His novels can be related to real world. I love Bo Sanchez's books. Everytime I read of them, I feel I'm actually listening to him as he speaks, with all those jokes in parentheses. It's like he's really talking to me, advising me, and telling me how beautiful life is.
For simplicity, (sorry for being young at heart) I admire a fiction hero Kaori Rokumeikan (White Swan of Chojin Sentai Jetman). I admire her because she came from a wealthy family. Although, during the first few episodes, she just thought of being a Jetman as a past time from her boring life. But as the series progressed, she found a warrior was truly inside of her. Amidst of lack of experience in fighting (she was raised a princess after all), she was still willing to fight to protect the Earth from alien invaders. Thus, Gai Yuuki fell in love with him. Yeah right, I'm promoting Gai Yuuki, one of my Japanese action hero crushes.
For spirituality, yes again, Bro. Bo. His spiritualism led me to experience and be a part of the happiest place on earth, The Feast. I thank God for meeting a lot of great people with the same belief in Christ, praising Him, and giving back the glory to Him.
For success, Charice and Sarah Geronimo. There are a lot of great singers in the Philippines, but I can really say who can make it big to stardom. It's not just the talent; it's the heart along that gift. When I saw Charice sang "Bring Back The Times" (originally sang by Dessa) in Little Big Star, I knew she could go a long way. Maybe, I have that star-value instinct (believe me). That's what I also felt when Sarah Geronimo belted Celine Dion's "To Love You More" during Search For A Star finals night. These two performers are proofs that if you have that passion and faith, you can move mountains to reach your dreams.
This is the first task of my first lesson. Honestly, I find this very exciting. I hope to learn more tomorrow. Thanks a lot, Bro. Jomar.

between a girl and a woman
as a 25-year-old dreamer, i have a lot of expectations to myself. i used to admire women who are so into their careers. i truly admire those women who are independent and mature. that's what i call "total woman". she knows herself very well, she's very organize and passionate with and every move she does and she plans her future as if she's born with a tag of mission on her forehead. 10 years ago, i wanted to be like this. i thought it would be as easy as counting 1, 2, 3 or singing do-re-mi. but, i was totally wrong.
10 years after, i'm still the same little kiddo. My dreams of seeing myself a "total woman" is far from camaraderie. why at this point of my life where i should be partying with friends, shopping profusely, etc. i'm totally still a girl. bad notion about myself, a little boy inside of me.

Self-hypnotism
A Brief Guide To Self Hypnosis
Prepare the Environment: Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed; no telephone or other interruptions. As you practice, you'll be able to do this in any environment, but when you're beginning, find as quiet as place as possible. You can do this in bed as you're falling asleep at night.
Prepare Yourself: Tell yourself silently or out loud that you are going to do self hypnosis. Then tell yourself silently or out loud how long you want to remain in the trance. Fifteen to twenty minutes is fine to begin with however, after a few weeks practise you may decide to make it last longer. For longer sessions, be sitting up as you practice, otherwise you may fall asleep.
Relax Your Body: Take several deep, slow breaths. This type of breathing slows down the brain waves and automatically begins relaxing the body. As you breathe out imagine you are breathing away any nervous tension left in your body. Make sure you breathe diaphragmatically, so as you breathe in your stomach goes out, and as you breathe out your stomach goes in. You can also say the word Relax on every out breath if you wish. Continue this breathing pattern until you feel relaxed and ready to stop.
Relax Your Mind: Distracting thoughts may come into your mind, allow them to float right out again without following them. Focus on your breathing or your relaxing body; hypnosis is all about heightened concentration, focus, and relaxation. Keep your mind on what you're doing.
Test Yourself: Bring your attention to your closed eyelids. Relax those muscles so completely that you couldn't possibly relax them any more. Your muscles must do what your mind instructs, so tell yourself that your eyelids are so relaxed that even if you try to open them, they just won't move. Test yourself to make sure you cannot open your eyes (of course you'll be able to open them at any time, and you'll know that on a conscious level, but allowing your conscious mind to accept the suggestion that your eyelids are too relaxed to work is the gateway to hypnosis and the subconscious mind).
Go Deeper: When you pass the "eye test," you are in light trance state. Silently and slowly count from 10 down to 1, imagining that your body and mind become more and more relaxed with each number. You may visualize yourself going down a staircase with each number, or on an elevator or escalator going down.
Give Yourself Suggestions: Now is the time to give yourself some positive suggestions or affirmations. You may decide the wording before you start or just have a very relaxed conversation with yourself; just make sure they all relate to one chosen goal at a time. Silently repeat the suggestions over and over, being very direct, brief and positive. Work on one goal at a time , over about 3 weeks.Always state suggestions as if they are a reality and in the present. This is very important as your subconscious mind believes exactly what it is told. Accentuate the positive
Do NOT say: "I want to be confident."DO say: "I am a very confident person.
Do NOT say: "I don't want to be shy."DO say: "I am always confident in the company of other people.You may boost the effectiveness of your sessions by creating images in your imagination of you at your goal, while you repeat the suggestions. For instance, if your goal is to lose weight, visualize yourself at your goal weight, in as much detail as possible. Remember, your unconscious mind cannot differentiate between what is real and what is imagined, so the more you imagine a positive future situation or event the more you compound your inner belief that you are calm, confident and in control in these situations.
End Your Session: When you feel its time to end, slowly and mentally count up from 1 to 5. When you reach the number 5 your eyes will open and you will be wide awake with a feeling of well being all over. However if you practise before going to sleep do not count up from 1 to 5, tell yourself beforehand that it will turn into a natural deep sleep from which you will wake up in the morning feeling positive and refreshed.
Don't worry if you try self hypnosis and don't think much happened at first or you could not see much in the visualization. Suggestion are effective even in the lightest of trances, so you will see changes soon. Repetition is the key to getting a new pattern into the subconscious mind, so keep at it! We all get better with practice, and before long you'll see just how easy and empowering it is to create the life, body, and bank account you want!

how to let go of you
Catch me I'm Fallin by Toni G.
I don’t know why
But when I look in your eyes
I feel something that seem so right
You’ve got yours I’ve got mine
I think I’m loosing my mind
Cause I shouldn’t feel this way
Catch me I’m falling for you
And I don’t know what to do
How can something so wrong
Feel so right all along
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can time be so wrong
For love to come along
Catch me I’m falling for you
How can love let it grow
When it has no place to go
And I can't go along pretending
That love is in here to stay
Catch me I'm falling for you
If I could just walk away
Without you from day to day
I would die just thinkin' of you
I know we can never be
More than friends you and me
But why do I feel this way?
Catch I'm fallin' for you
And I don't know what to do
How can something so wrong
Feel so right all along
Catch me I’m falling for you

Why love did this to me
