Aling Dionisia

I saw Aling Dionisia in a morning show earlier. Strange that she looks more like Jinky than Manny nowadays. (I suspect that they have the same stylist.) Whether that is a compliment to any of the two or an insult, I don't know - he he, am just saying what I am seeing.

It is heartening to see a person so happy and fulfilled in her senior years. Having a lot of money can do that I guess.. I just wish that I can do the same for my mom. I am not a multi-million dollar prize-winning boxer, not an endorser for international brands not even a trying hard singer. But I do love my mother maybe even more than Manny does loves his mom and so with the little I have, I always see to it that I give mom something to be happy about.

As for Aling D, I just hope that she does not get blinded by the glitter and dazzle of showbiz and then runs off with a stud. I wouldn't want to see in the papers or here in the news that she has a some kind of a scandal with Hayden!!! Eeeeww. Shudders.

Down but not out

I woke up this morning with a massive headache. Must have been due to the two-day strategic planning that I just went through. Kinda tough considering that the whole management team was there and we had to do a lot of "soul searching".

Initial part of the session was to determine our respective division's strengths and weaknesses do environmental scanning for threats and opportunities and present it to everybody for scrutiny. Man, it is not easy to point out weaknesses of others especially if they do not believe that they have something to improve in the first place. And even harder to accept that some people perceive your group as slackers when you thought that you have worked your ass off day in and day out. Sometimes you really have to ground yourself on the reality that you can never please everybody. You might be good but not good enough for some.

Anyway, we still have another day for the workforce planning and an additional day for the Operating Expense and Capital Expenditures planning for the coming fiscal year. So even though am feeling down in the dumps I have to jump start my neurons via several shots of brewed coffee to get me going through the week. Thank God for caffeine!
