Leadership

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. ~ Dwight Eisenhower

I have yet to improve my leadership skills, especially in a team where I am the only person fired up about the job.

I wish we can always choose the people we work with but, alas, the real world is not that way.

To Pinoys: Aim Higher, Dream Bigger

If not nursing, then medical transcription? Is this the kind of alternative doctors have in the Philippines?!

Is P12,000 to P50,000 a month "lucrative" in the eyes of these Filipino doctors?

I know, I know. Who's to say what defines "fulfillment"? But if Filipinos keep settling for jobs like this - how can we progress?

Am I not seeing the bigger picture here?

Are college graduates really bound to take up nursing (and only nursing) to see greener pastures?

How can we make Filipinos aim higher, when even the President is recommending doctors to become a step below their profession?

And our national hero is a boxing champ?

How do we change this "Hanggang dito lang ako." mindset?

(I'm sorry, I just feel strongly about this - no offense, really)

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Thanks to my friend Kateh, she totally made my day with a forwarded email with these attachments. I thought I should share them with you.

Let Me Be A Bride Again Before It's Too Late

When a decisive couple decides to marry, a wedding can be organized within a few days. (Or within minutes?) I am obviously talking about David and I - but nothing Vegas.

We decided to have two weddings. We want both our families to witness our joys in saying "I do." The more family, the more tears, the more love!

For wedding #1, we opted to make things easier for us by picking a wedding package that is a tad bit customized to our taste. After scouring for different options and working with different budgets, we ended up choosing to have our wedding on board a private yacht - that will cruise around the Bay Area. Is that neato or not? Ok, maybe a little cheesy but it should be fun for all.

Wedding #2 will be more traditional and fancier - with more guests and flowers and candles and tears. The whole shebang. That would take more than just a few days to prepare.

Each day, it just sinks in more and more... I will have to learn to deal with someone else's dirty laundry and morning breath forever... aaahh, the beauty of it all. ;-)

Pure excitement.

Capstone

I feel a little bummed out that my Capstone topic was not approved by my professor. She did have a point, but it felt pointless to put together a 10-page paper that you've worked hard on so badly, only to be shot in the middle of a presentation.

It's all good though.

I still have it easier compared to one classmate who *didn't know* there was homework due on the first day of class. Yikes.
