Lessons from the Art of Selling

LESSONS FROM THE ART OF SELLING I never thought I'd be a great sales person until I tried it. When I was younger, I even had this notion that salesmen were really just phony people trying to fool people around with their gift of gab. I do not know why I had that perception. Maybe, I heard it from... Sign in to see full entry.

One Farewell Party

ONE FAREWELL PARTY As I write the word Farewell, I suddenly think of the words Send Off. Do they have different meanings? I wonder. To me, farewell is a greeting said by the one who leaves while send off means to say goodbye and often done by people who are left behind. Sounds a little mushy? Two... Sign in to see full entry.

LINES NEED NOT BE STRAIGHT Have you ever wondered? When the picture of a line pops up in the mind, it is always a straight line that forms to create the thought? And yet, I wonder why early in school, we were taught that a line also assumes other forms as in waves, zigzags or curves. I convince... Sign in to see full entry.

MUSINGS ON DAY ONE OF THE NEW YEAR

Happy Day One of the New Year! In my country, the Philippines, it is common belief that if one wanted the rest of the new year to bring the best of luck, health, wealth and joy, Day One should begin with doing all that is good, right and well to one’s self and to others. Today, I wake up with a... Sign in to see full entry.

Guess What Made my Day Today?

Guess what made my day today? Believe it or not, I can see my 90 year old neighbor Mrs. Caspe whom I fondly call the silver haired fairy in my neighborhood (now looking slim as a waif and fully garbed in her ankle length house dress), frolic in the morning rain! In what seems like pure delight, she... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I love traveling. It doesn’t matter where. It could be imagined or real. But going places and learning about people have always fascinated me. In fact, I can say that I find much of my greatest joys just finding out what people dream about, what they cry and hurt about, what they laugh about. Personalities fascinate me no end. People are beautiful. Everyone has a story to tell. I learn a lot from others. I am enriched and humbled by knowing and interacting with others. I have also this nagging burden to share my wanderings and wonderings with you so that somehow, the roads that we take could be entwined and lead us to the one great road of learning and loving and growing……together. Watch out for my next blog! Will start Part 1 of an exciting story. It is about a woman named Maria, well known in her little town of Buruanga, AKlan, (Northwest Panay Peninsula), near Boracay, the Philippines who gathered the best shells in these parts of the sea.
