Coffee makes me crazy

When you wake up in the morning, what is the first things you wanted to have?

Filipinos love coffee. They drink even more than twice a day. But is coffee that great?
Coffee is high in antioxidants and linked to a reduced risk of many diseases,

“The only purpose of starting is to finish, and while the projects we do are never really finished, they must ship.” – Seth Godin

As a marketing student, I stayed up until I just can't anymore. Coffee helps me a lot. It makes me crazy. I get excited, motivated and alive!

Are you always got opinions/advises from other people? especially from those who are close to your heart?

Human beings are social and I believe that they are more people who get advises from other people rather than to those who just work hard to motivate themselves.

Simple phrases just like the above quote from the famous Benjamin Franklin can change one thought in a blink. Words are so much stronger than the actions that sometimes you can't understand or even determine if it is true or not. Words are powerful. It change thinking and give sympathy.

Anime can teach lessons

For many people, watching anime is for fun, relaxation, and making your mind free from all the things you have been thinking. But according to the research I conducted together with two colleagues, watching anime is learning. there are emotions, actions, words of wisdom and relationships.

We are not just watching but we are learning. Often, because of the continuous watching, anime lover learn to speak English or even nihonggo. Moreover, watchers learned to handle things, make their relationships with others stronger and even believe in themselves more.

The picture above is from the "Shingeki No Kyojin" that already has a movie version to be show nationwide tomorrow, August 12, 2015. This anime is one of my favorites because it teaches so much about how important life is, how lucky we are to live in a normal ways, and how much we can give for others sake. It shows more about humanity that nowadays people are confuse what is really the right thing to do as human. 

One quote from this anime was "Someone who can't sacrifice anything can never change anything". This is really true. If we want change, we should learn to sacrifice things because we can't carry both things at the same time.

I am an anime lover since child and I can say that I have learned so much things from watching anime.

Learning Communication Through Fangirling

I am a FAN GIRL. So what? May people criticize those fan girls as obsess, stalkers and over-acting. But there is a deeper reasons from those. Fan girl is not just a fan girl. They are strong, friendly and thoughtful people.

When I was younger, I also make fun of them. Laugh at them, say things like they are over-reacting, they are girls for God sake, they should be more firm and classy, etc. Words like that. But years later, I experienced to be a fan girl and I am still right now. I am proud and can say that there are so much more than being JUST a fan girl.

People who wants to improve their communication skill can start from being a fan girl. Fan girling is like doing extraordinary things just to get information, updates and even make an article for your idol. Fan girls are all friendly. They have a wide connections. I have met many fan girls who are naturally shy and quiet but because of fangirling, they learn to be active, vocal and friendly. Also, one thing that a fangirl is best of, is RESEARCH. Along with their connections, they are good in researching, investigating and understanding mysteries/issues. Because of these, ordinary girls became confident and more open to what they feel and perceive.

So, no one can say that fangirling is just wasting time because there are so much help that fangirling gives to those fan girls just like me.

Strategy and the Art of Chess

In our daily lives, I believe we encounter  situations which make us think of a strategy on how we can outdo them. There are so many ways available if we can only think of it.

When I was child I enjoyed watching my cousins playing chess game until I learned it from my own. I'm having fun thinking of different attacks how I can checkmate the opponent.

Playing chess is like living in a business world.  There are allies, competitors, and top priority. Setting goals is one of the most important part of developing strategist. Without a certain goal, everything is blur. In chess game, the top priority is to protect the king from the opponents while in business the top priority is to satisfy the external users. They both want to have a long run that is why they need strategist to protect and satisfy the people involve.
