Unbounded

I learned of this awesome site called Zoho.com from TJ. It's basically an online office suite that you can share around with. Pretty neat, huh? Here are some of the decks I've made/collaborated with beginning last year. Enjoy.

1. Top 3 attention-getting male beauty product commercials

Konnichiwa! This impromptu deck's from me and Katsu, a Japanese classmate of mine for one of my post-grad classes. ^_^ Y

2. What does good sevice look like?

Module 1 of 3 in a tailored customer service training that I did with Jebb and Jayme back in November of 2007

3. Communication Gap: Its seven sins and its seven virtues

5. Asia Pacific Mobility Team

Just variants of letterheads, really

6. Sunrise GA template

As the name says. Link also in my devart account.

7. Unused Green Pillar deck

Pity most weren't used. I liked the green in this one.

8. Get Better Initiative 2: Enhancing use of existing and new W3 content

Fresh out of the box. Excerpts from the slides presented today. Sensitive data omitted of course. =b

Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

As I stood in front of the door, I sighed a deep breath, and called out my reservation. A million thoughts went through my mind. Unfortunately, one particular thought did not.

Next thing you know, it happened. A satisfying meal later, a few shots, some smiles, and you realize you just traded everything you hold dear for, well – a satisfying meal, a few shots, and some smiles.

Now, that was how the day went. To be honest, it didn't go great. But life has plenty of good parts; it's the rough parts that make you thankful you have people to share it with.

Again, looking back, now I remember that particular thought.

Let's face it - bad food is made without a hint of pride nor affection, by people who have no pride, and of no love. Bad food is made by people who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please themselves.

Bad food is fake food. Food that shows fear and lack of confidence in one's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives. Food that's too safe, too pasteurized, too healthy - it sickens me.

There should be some risk, like unpasteurized cheese. Food sometimes is about fermentation, maturity... as much as it is also about freshness.

Thank you, B.

Indeed, your past has a way of sneaking up on you. You'll hear broken echoes of it everywhere, like a bad replay. You'll get mad at everyone for reminding you about it, even if it's all in your head.

I had a dinner with a good friend back in college about a month ago. Needless to say, everything I know now I learned in a swanky Italian Fusion Restaurant in Gateway.

Yes, in Cibo, Gateway Mall.

...I know.

If there are two things that stand out from one’s account of friendship, it is equality and empathy. True friendship can only be between two people who are equals, at least roughly, you can’t be friends with the truly clingy; nor can you be friends with someone who sees you beneath them, but it’s more than just rough equality.

It’s the ability to put yourself in the place of the other person, understand what they are thinking and feeling, forgiving them when it is appropriate to forgive them, and speaking your mind when you think it is needed.

Thank you for the dinner and for the evening. I’ve learned and realized much in the past year because of you.
