Frustration

Some things are just not meant to be...
Some dreams never come true...
Its very hard to accept and see...
That these things are not for you...

You pray so hard that a miracle would happen...
Wandering and thinking about these things often...
You feel frustrated and annihilated...
Like your confidence and dignity tainted...

Even if some things may seem out of reach...
You still have the desire to get it...
You will think hard about it below your sheets...
You set blueprints that are impossible to meet...

It may sound very bitter and depressing...
But my human nature is the cause of this ranting...
Life is never fair and it is a fact...
Things just occur by just sheer luck!

But still i hope my dreams will be real...
Something that I can see, feel, touch and hear...
Like a real life multi-billion deal...
One day I just hope that my path will be clear!

No one can have it all.
No one can feel it all.
No one can risk it all.
No one can live it all.

Someone always gets disappointed.
Someone always fails.
Someone always hope.
Someone always succeed.

Life is filled with tragedies.
Life is filled with trials.
Life is filled with struggles.
Life is filled with success.

We can't have everything...
Nothing seems enough!
But we must keep on fighting...
Even if the going gets tough!

Brand Associate

I can't sleep... I have nothing to do... I checked my friendster account and updated my profile... I want to be discreet with my job not because I am ashamed of it, but I look at it as merely a title... I decided to change it so that if people will do some research on me by viewing my profile, they'll know that I am really working... And I am proud of it!

In my view, a brand associate is a just a short representation of what I REALLY do! To further elaborate:

BRAND ASSOCIATE. a hungry for success son of a bitch that does not take no for an answer! someone who hates losing and is always optimistic on everything. a sneaky military man that is a great tactician. an asshole that is every inefficient person's nightmare. a go getter. a dreamer. pressure player. a predator that kills his prey. a lunatic that changes the way people do things. and a lion that wants to be on top of the food chain!

if you don't agree, i do not care! make your own! don't rant about it! i did not ask you to view this! this is who i am! this is what i do! this is what i want!!!

Gut Check

It has been almost a month since I came back from Thailand. It has been three weeks since the formulation of our new product has started. Now we are almost half the battle. We promised someone to deliver the goods by next year... And that we will do!

Never did I think that such will happen. When I started with my job almost 5 months ago, I thought that we are developing brands for the Philippines. I thought that what I studied in college was right. That a quality education will instantaneously guarantee success. I WAS DEAD WRONG!

I have yet to use 80% of what I have studied in my double degree course. All I am using is more on what values were instilled on me. Hard work, perseverance, and communication.

People notice how hard I work. And it is very flattering. I do not try to be benchmark or the "bibo" associate. I'm just enjoying my work and doing what is best for my company. I just strive hard in order to make my company grow.

It is not just hard work and a great mind that are needed to succeed. One must know how to communicate his thoughts to others, make them listen and lastly absorb what is said. Communication is needed in order to deliver what is inside your head to others. This will build relationships. Strengthen ties. And a key factor to one's success.

I have goals... I have dreams...
I'm still far, thus it seems...
It might take a while to come true...
Everything depends on what I do...

What will transpire is my gauge...
To see if success in just in range...
I'll do everything to be in the zone!
So that all I want I can own!
