Just came home from a political exercise, election for level representative for school year 2010-2011 of my son’s school. I can’t help but surmise the importance of integrity in a leader as I have seen in this exercise. And with the upcoming election in mind, let us pray and use wisdom in discerning the leaders of our nation who we will choose &...
Passion…Enjoy….Love!
I just got back from my family’s paradise, Anvaya. After the 12-week schooling that I underwent, it was a much-needed respite. My classmates joined us Wednesday and we really had blast.

LEADERSHIP 101: Communications & Clarity
I took the Strengths Finder last year and here is the result: 1. Communication 2. WOO (win others over) 3. Responsibility 4. Activator 5. Positivity Communications is my top strength and it also is my number one weakness. I think while I speak, I make decisions while I’m talking. Those I lead were often left guessing because instructions or directions given...
