who's watching who?

Ateneo vs. La Salle UAAP men's basketball - the hottest and most emotional game (always is) in UAAP! With this game, many earn a lot, many miss classes or probably fail their exams, lose their voices and some may get injured. Here's an example of what happens in Areneta. (I have nothing against Ateneans, I even have great friends there. In fact, I would say that maybe, somewhere in that coliseum, a La Sallian is also doing that - or would we? =) )



Ahh!!! shoot that ball!!! 


Oh no! 


Bleh


Hmph!

Moral Lesson (for all those who watch Ateneo vs. La Salle games): Watch out! It's not only God that's watching you.

Coffee, Tea or Juice

I just arrived in Manila. When I was still in the airplane, I couldn't help but notice this silly conversation repeating again and again.

Stewardess: Coffee, Tea or Juice?
Me: Uh......Water :)

What do you think about that? hehe silly right? They could have just asked "What drink would you prefer?" or whatever because truly, they do not only serve coffee, tea or juice. But, nevertheless, at least the conversation makes you smile.

Right after we (with my sister), arrived in MIAA, we went to WTC because there was this bazaar and amazingly, I saw some of my classmates. No, they weren't there to shop (or yeah, maybe that's their sideline motive), but they were there selling...on their own. That's what we call the entrepreneurship spirit. Now, my question is (as what I always do...ask -- for those who know me, I'm really an inquisitive person), how do we enhance and develop our entrepreneurship spirit?

Is it how your school trained you? Other schools (like in where I am studying), they offer courses like Business Management specialization in Entrepreneurship while other schools don't. Others give you a great exposure regarding business matters other than those in your textbooks while others are just bookish.

Is it in the location you're in? If you're in the city, you have a lot of opportunities. There are bazaars and a lot of people whom you can make connections with. While in the province, so little opportunities and everyone just thinks of finishing up college then go to the city to find a high paid job.

Is it in the family? If you're in a family who are entrepreneurs, you will be one. If not, then not. How you think depends on how your family thinks?

Is it just innate? You are born with it, you've got it. If you don't have the skills, you can't develop it anymore?

Here's what I think. School and location are the minor factors. Though, they really help a lot. First, if the school can broaden you're mind, that's a big plus especially if you're in a great location. But, most importantly, it all boils down on YOU. It is how you think (maybe influenced by your family, friends or books), what you do to hone your skills (maybe innate or developed through hardwork).

Now, I am not saying that I have this kind of spirit flowing all over my blood because I don't think so. My thoughts may be entrepreneurial and I may have done some honing but I think there are still some things missing....Fervor and guts. What's the use of being equip if you do not have the passion for it or you do not do anything about it?

So, maybe, some people are really meant for being entrepreneurs and some are just not. For me, it's just practical. Though our society nowadays is telling everyone to become entrepreneurs, all of us cannot be entrepreneurs. It just won't work.

Okay, I'm tired of writing already but I don't know how to end it so....Coffee, Tea or Juice? :)

what's in our thoughts? or better yet, in my thoughts?

i was just wondering...why don't we get tired of the thought of writing diaries, short stories, journals or blogs? Okay, maybe at times we start and then we get tired of it but somehow, it always comes back. you would want to write your thoughts again. maybe we just want to consult our past experiences or speak out our emotions or...are we just wanna-be's of Anne Frank? - that we dream that someday, our life stories would be published and admired. What do you think?

another thought. just this week, i created a new e-mail account, curled my straight hair and next week, classes starts. great huh? and yet, i am i'm making a new blog (well, my first actually). everything (not really..but mostly), is new. now, why do we want that? why do we want things to be new? to start all over again? or do we? i know for sure that there are many resistance in making changes so then, why do we want to change? well, i guess i'm answering my question haha. i read a book entitled 'the present' by spencer and he said that if we want our present to be better than the past, we should do things differently. makes sense doesn't it? though, i just hope that all the changes we make in our life is to make our present and future better than our past and not for the worst. in addition to that, does curling my hair make my present any better? hmmph..
