We're going to have this sort-of PPEI at work weekly, so that's 1 presentation for me every month as there are 4 presentors all-in-all. I'm going to be the first presentor, and I had to submit my topic today, along with the assignments of my colleagues who will serve as my panel.
I had a dilemma on which topic to talk about. I was either contemplating on the Spice Girls or Primetime TV: Kapuso vs. Kapamilya. I ended up choosing the former... Sobrang jologs ko na ata if I talk about Lastikman or Marimar. I assigned 1 colleague to be the Spice Girls enthusiast, while the other two would be the ANTI- Spice Girls/90's music.
The presentation is on Friday morning. I'm excited/scared! Brings me back to our Business Comm days. Hahaha!!!! Kakaaliw talaga.
Wish me luck! Now, I'm going to immerse myself into the Spice World & Girl Power once again. WOOHOO!

New Year, New Life, New Beginning
A few things I have in mind for 2008:
1. Fix my room- I always start fixing my room but it's a neverending cycle
2. Fix my expenses- Take note of daily expenses (I aim to start this Feb!), make a budget, and probably open a new account
3. Learn how to cook and spend more time in the kitchen
4. Have piano lessons once again
5. Explore Old Manila & take Carlos Celdran's Intramuros tour (This I have to do with Wawa:D)
6. Pay for more bills at home
7. Read more current events
8. Get more background on economics, statistics, accounting, & finance (so not me)
9. Try out a new sport (boxing or badminton would do).. Or maybe go to the gym and exercise!
10. Walk more
11. Commute more
12. Take Kumon classes (if the company will shoulder it hehe)
13. Go on a vacation with friends
14. Hang out more with friends
15. Be more simple (less frills, more basics)
16. Write more often to release emotions
17. Be more spontaneous
18. Be more pro-active
19. Read more books (as if)
20. Give back more to society & the less privileged (I know, cliche!)
21. Be a better daughter and sister.
I honestly doubt if I can do all of this. Then I guess I'm no. 3- The one with the will but does not end up doing things.

4 Kinds of People
I feel like writing again. It's been a while since I had the urge to. I guess these mixed emotions give me every reason why I should write, right? Or maybe there is just something about this day. Oh well. I hope I will always have these "I feel like writing in my blog" moments more often.
I learned a lot today. My boss talked to us earlier about Forex, Statistics (God, I'm so clueless with all these foreign terms.. He even asked us the diff. between variance & standard deviation... Nosebleed!), & preparing Presentations for clients (this I think I may do better. :D). He shared something which was pretty simple but true. He said that there are only 4 kinds of people in the world. These are:
1. The ones who have the will to do it and do it
2. The ones who have the will to do it but end up not doing it
3. The ones who do not have the will to do it yet do it
4. The ones who do not have the will to do it and end up not doing it
And he asked us, who are you among these 4 people? It made me think of my decisions & actions lately. I hope I'm more of no. 1, but being no. 3 is also quite interesting, if you don't prioritize your happiness over your needs.
Now, who are you among these 4 kinds of people?
