Blurbs while waiting for my cardio moment

It is tough without my laptop these days. As I look for other alternatives on where I can find a cheap lcd replacement, my cellphone's capabilities are maximized as a browing replacement for my immediate hulabaloos (email and social networking blahs).

Months are getting very fast every year now, this year I am on my way to thrity-dom, Im counting a week and it is already march while every one is rushing to the next beach trip I am getting all excited/ itchy/ pumped/ or whatever I can call it to the next thing I am going to know about myself. I m now all gung ho in my reading sprees and in a book buffet. Aside from which I am busy taming my big ego and being helped on my people relations. Seriously, it's been so comfortable being alone since I am so used to cooking my brain but my near thrity year lonesome spree show that it aint working out. So right now I am making a logical emotional decision to succumb to whatever discipline I have to go through.

I encourage you folks to volunteer your time and brains to Lifeline Foundation and one of it's causes by adding this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48582366311&ref=nf. It will be good if you can attend the meetings but if not your own ways count, you can spread the word and link to your page or visit www.ineedalifeline.org

If you are a widget maker you are very much wanted. A web programmer and designer you are needed. If you are an SEO expert who would like to volunteer for this cause and spread this word remotely by putting up a link in your blog and or website, you are wanted as well. If you care enough and have passion for legal adoption and animal welfare or an individual who would like to help in medical missions, who want to go with us and change your life by giving your heart mind and expertise for Cambodia and Darfur missions, or if you are a passionate basketball player, soccer player and or art teacher who's heart is to share your talents and make a difference to kids who want to learn and rise beyond poverty thinking but cannot afford to have the said special skill classes and you are indeed one of the many people that can make a difference and be in our team.

IMO, if you feel stuff and caught up with your own life, the best way to get out of it is to think of other people. Try volunteering, it builds something. Whenever I feel caught up with my issues I try my best to look at other people who need help how i wish it becomes built in me in the long run. So let's volunteer na!

My 101th Post

Yesterday I came from a wedding shower. It is going to be the wedding of my former team leader/ former housemate/ friend Vel, who is marrying Ed my friend/ Former drinking buddy/ frmer teammate.

It's funny how they met. They used to be so sick of each other and someway sometime they ended up liking each other stuck together and decided to marry.

And I would I will be a wedding singer who is supposed to wear a deep red long gown. A color I have never worn all my life. Well It would be an adventure somehow.

To date they are the second couple I see marry in my 29 year life. It's cool.

I'm currently reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. I have just finished the part of Habit 1 Which is be proactive. It is interesting to know that a lot about our language speaks about how reactive a person we are as supposed to be proactive. If you are a person who talks as if everything is beyond your circumstance such as the use of words I have to, I need to, If only, If I had you are most likely to be a reactive person who's circle of concern is bigger than your circle of influence. Changing a Have over a Be attitude makes a person proactive enough to widen his circle of influence over matters and concerns. The change is simply Choices over feelings and exercising our RESPONSE-ABILITY. It's cool how he had this all written down to be really embedded as a habit by giving exercise suggestions on how to practice the habit. I am taking his 30 day proactive challenge he says just make small commitments for 30 days to exercise your response-ability. Its interesting because just last saturday in our night meeting Luis talked about the difference of the phrase I did all I can vs I am doing all I can which is a perfect example of coveys statement on a reactive response as oppose to a proactive response of "there is nothing I can do" vs. "Let us look for our alternatives". In my thrity day proactive challenge, I wrote down three things that bug me the most about my present state and the solution and action steps that I will be implementing. I thought about it as not so hard which are things I already know that I should do but have never exercised response-ability over. It will be for sure a challenge for "feeling" over "being".
