I attended a Leader’s Congress today. It was a very enlightening and empowering experience. Several speakers were invited to talk about their own personal journeys towards achieving their own excellence.
I want to share the key points and lessons I took away from the conference today.
Akiko Thompson – Filipina Olympian shares…

Shutting down for the holidays

Posted by: applesh on: April 5, 2007

Its funny but with all the posts and articles and comments Ive read on the differences in people and their faith, on how to not impose one’s faith on the general public, on how not to assume that the majority shares your faith, I just remembered that our country has devoted three whole days (4 [...]

Closing in on the ruckus

Posted by: applesh on: April 4, 2007

Often, controversies materialize at Awards Nights. I would say more so in the Philippines than in most countries, but only because I spent my whole life here so that view is not surprising. The Metro Manila Film Festival has had its share of controversies… same goes with the Famas Awards… even the PMPC Star Awards [...]

Save our streetchildren (?)

Posted by: applesh on: March 15, 2007

I often pass Makati Ave on my way to work or going home to our house. I already know the time when traffic is heavy or when its not. I also know what lane to stay in or how to find the right one so I can avoid the jeepneys, taxis and cars going into [...]

The Shoe Box

Posted by: applesh on: March 11, 2007

Somebody sent me this via email. I laughed so loud I was in tears.
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top [...]
