The Pinoy Scare!

Do you still remember what your Grandmother always tells you when you were young.

“Don’t ever go wandering off alone in the woods, the duwendes might take you to their kingdom and you won’t be able to go back” that’s what my Titas and Lola always say whenever I’m in our province. To be honest, I really wanna know what the world of the duwendes are…

In contemporary, children are very familiar with foreign monsters like Dracula, Frakenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mummies, the bogeyman and oh, Michael Jackson!!! Hahaha.. Trick or Treats are very common nowadays especially in subdivisions in Manila, but come to think of it… Do these kids know our very own Filipino Folklore and Monsters ? During a halloween party, I asked a boy who was in a dracula costume what a Tikbalang is; he answered that its a small lizard.  *sob

So I thought of making this posts on our very own Filipino Monsters. Here are some of the most famous:

Business Talk!

I have been reading about marketing for the past couple of days as I am trying to find ways on how to apply N.L.P. (Neuro Linguistic Programming in it) or perhaps plain Psychology into it. I was requested to create a module on N.L.P. by people from a certain company of which I will keep confidential. In relation to this, I framed in my mind that I am a marketing agent and some how had a problem with a particular client.

Here’s the problem I imagined in my mind:

“A client is upset with one of my subordinate’s performance due to some glitches in the process. The client received an order which is incorrect. You then told her that wou will check what has gone wrong and get back to her by 5 p.m. with a solution. She became angry and said, she need the correct items immeddiately and need a solution right away. You have to consider the fact that it requires a bit of time to solve the problem…what should you do?”

My Solution:

Since the client is already upset you should consider what you will say first. Focus on the fact, that you need to calm her emotional

MBS2 a SUCCESS!!!

Last October 25 – 26 Bloggers from all over Mindanao gathered in Gensan to indulge into what seems to be the biggest eyeball of bloggers from all over Mindanao. The theme for MBS was “Mindanawon, Paminawon Intawon: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness” It was a part of Gensan’s e-business week wherein bloggers got to chance to share their ideas and views on blogging about Mindanao.

Kudos to all organizers of the event, Mindanao Bloggers will trully treasure what transpired here in Gensan. The event was spearheaded by the author of Bariles Republic (one of the Philippines most influencial blogsites), Avel Manansala.There were a lot of resource speakers from different genre of blogging, from photo blogging to place blogging, from business blogging to student blogging; name it! MBS2 had it!!!

Sad to say, I wasn’t able to attend the morning activities where the most important activities were done because of my Master’s which is in Marbel. I was able to attend the night activites and the tour the next day though and was

Job Fair in Gensan

Last week while strolling around KCC Mall to check out the exhibits for the E-business week, I happen to stumble upon a huge job fair. Hmmm, I thought there would be an opening for a graphic designer or for a company nurse or some sort (I can’t have a job in the hospital as a nurse coz of my Masters) but it was for people who want to work outside of the country. I saw different faces, some were happy, some are beginning to be pissed off because of the very long line or perhaps because of people who are cutting into the line. Yeah, I even saw a group of males and females arguing about cutting in.

Anyway, I was glad that there was a job fair for people in Gensan it’s a sign that Generals are really productive individuals. The event was spearheaded by JIB e-Academy and Solutions in cooperation with DOLE.

Here are some pictures of the event:  Click to enlarge

THE ONLY WAY THROUGH DIFFICULTY IS THROUGH IT

Okatokat!

I just got the idea for this blog since its almost halloween.

Each and everyone of us has their own fear or phobia, though some may not have any at all.  A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder. It is a strong, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. There are many specific phobias.

Examples of Phobia Are:

Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.
Acarophobia- Fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching.
Acerophobia- Fear of sourness.
Achluophobia- Fear of darkness.
Acousticophobia- Fear of noise.
Acrophobia- Fear of heights.
Aerophobia- Fear of drafts, air swallowing, or airbourne noxious substances.

To teach is to learn TWICE!

I just finished checking the examinations of my dear students in one subject but partly done on the other.  Yes, I am also a teacher aside from being a nurse and a mentalist/magician. Their examination for one subject was over 230 points and on the other 160 points. Some of my colleagues on the nursing field said that my examination is for nursing students and not for nursing aid students. Well, I wanna train nursing aid students who can think like a nurse. I want to give my students the edge from other nursing aid students from other schools. Though I only teach conceptual nursing and not in the clinical side, I can well say that my students are going through hell with me as their teacher but

Numbers tell something

Do you believe that numbers can explain the occurence of things around us?

Do you believe in Numerology?

Here are some eerie facts about the number 23.

1. 23 is the most commonly cited prime number and the only prime number that consists of two consecutive prime numbers.

2. Two divided by three makes 0.666 recurring

3. The Hiroshima bomb was dropped at 8.15am – 8+15= 23.

4. Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species was published in 1859 – 1+8+5+9 = 23.

5. The Sept. 11th attacks: 9+11+2+0+0+1 add up to 23.

6. Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the start

Magic Cube Mania!

There are 42,000,000,000,000,000,000 different configurations for a rubik’s cube.

Before I thought there are only a few people who can solve the magic cube specifically those who are good in math and problem solving. I have to say I tried solving it before but after thirty agonizing minutes I was pissed off and gave up on it. It gave me a migraine and I was tempted to remove the stickers on the magic cube and put it back to its original order which I did (hahaha).

While I was walking around town, an analogy of the magic cube entered my mind. Perhaps the reason why math geeks are good at solving the cube it’s because they

How to take care of your Laptop!

It is very important to ensure that your laptop is well taken care of. Small and portable as it is, it is very prone to serious problems that might transpire. Always keep in mind that Prevention is Better than cure. I just got my laptop reformatted this afternoon by my brother because of a viral problem I got from a USB.

Here’s a point of advice, most people are very cautious of putting USB’s in their computer because of the fear of getting infected with a virus or a spyware. I know a lot of us encountered this annoying gesture, they’ll scan your USB for viruses and the more files you have on it, the longer it takes. The problem there is, they confirmed that there is no virus in your USB but are you sure that your USB wouldn’t be infected by the virus from their computer?  The next thing you know your PC or your top got infected too… Think about it!

TIPS IN TAKING CARE OF YOUR LAPTOP

1. Don’t drink near your laptop. This is very common in Coffee Shops, its okay to drink while your doing something with your top but please make sure that your not taking a sip in front of it. The moment a small amount of liquid enters the unit, it short circuits and corrupts your data. Keep your drinks away from the unit and when you take a sip, do it away from the laptop.

2. Don’t eat near your laptop. Small Crumbs of food can attract insects especially ants and when they get into your laptop the circuit fries them causing

Stop Shaking! Conquer your Nerves!!!

The Art of Performing Magic

We’ve all been there. Our hands are sweaty, your heart is racing and your hands are shaking like a leaf. Yes, I am talking about trying to pull off your first magic trick that you just learned. You are excited to show your friends and family your amazing trick but then when the time comes, boom!!! its like you are standing on stage in your underwear and everyone is laughing at you!! Even though you have practiced the trick hundred times or more and in front of the mirror, it’s never the same when you are about to do it to real people.

Well, have no fear, as this you’ll be glad to hear it can be conquered and you will pull of your trick like the pros!! You see, it is natural for our body to tense up when the spotlight is on you, now not everybody is the same, some people are just naturally gifted to have that knack of performing for people, they

I miss Chucky!

There is only one monster/villain I am really scared of. It is not 6 feet tall, nor has a freaky mask, nor has a powerful magic or some sort. It is just a mere 3 and half feet doll. I can still remember the time during my childhood years that my mom is fond of renting child play movies. Whenever we watch it everytime I see chucky I get the chills even until now. What ever happened to him I wonder? The last part is very “bitin”. Whenever Chucky kills someone, as I could recall I cried a lot. I was fuckin scared whenever I hear that laughter of his. I miss him though. I miss that murderous intent and that lurking around that he does especially when I feel that somehow he’s just right behind me!

Control your Dreams!

Is Dream Control Possible?

Can we decide what dream to have during sleep?

Can we be aware that we are just having a dream?

YES!

For the past few months I’ve been practicing the art of N.L.P. and has done myriad of experimentation on it like making a person color blind, apathetic, drunk and forgetful. The idea never came to me until the same feeling happened again. This feeling is when while I was sleeping I was able to picture in my mind what was happening in the news on T.V. It felt like I was in the scene when I woke up I was surprised that the person who was in my dream was talking on T.V.

I related it to my N.L.P. and I could well say that it has a big possibility. When we are asleep or perhaps half asleep our subconscious mind is very open and our conscious mind is temporarily shut down. With regards to N.L.P. and conversational hypnotism it requires the subconscious mind to be open for the effect to work. Thinking about it…. Hmm… Yeah, we could really tell our mind what to dream!

Coffee Shops in Gensan

There are a lot of coffee shops in gensan now than before and I could well say each coffee shop presents varied distinction for the other. I’ve been to almost all of the coffee shops here in Gensan and here are my

One of the best articles I ever read

*** Here is an article from Tim David, a magician and a magic inventor from overseas. This article shaped the one of the basic foundations of Mesmerize Magic Circle. Thank you for this Tim. I want to share this to other magicians who are reading my blogsite.

Sleight of Hand vs Self Working Magic Tricks

One of the debates you may come upon in the magic world concerns “self-working” magic tricks and whether or not these tricks are just as good as those requiring difficult sleights and moves, or if they are rather a cop-out to “real” magic.

To explore this, let’s first define what is meant by “self-working.”

Obviously, no trick works itself; it has to be performed and the performer usually has to do something – even if it’s pushing a hidden button – to achieve the effect. Self-working tricks are a mainstay of magic shops, especially those that cater to beginners. A seven- year-old just starting out in magic might be a little intimidated at the thought of performing a coin vanish, but will jump at the chance to use the simplest iterations of “egg-in-vase” or a change bag. As for whether or not the use of these tricks denotes a lack of skill, the answer is that it depends.
