Excuse me for the ff. below:



1. Chong naman! If you're going to try to inspire me to work. Don't try
to be cute. Don't talk about crap like "finding your north" and things
that are way too technical and over your head for you to have any real
credibility! I'm not dumb or stupid. I've been doing this for a long
time already, and I've been in more hellish scenarios with more
demanding masters/mentors. If you want to inspire people. Buzzwords and
fancy strategy talk are nothing but window dressing. Show your battle
scars. Show them that you're not afraid to get down and get your hands
dirty. Lead from the gutters, not from your ivory tower. Tsk tsk... if
my hunches are right, this is a big sign of things to come. The bigger
they are, the harder they come crashing down.



2. How's this for a Johnny Walker (keep on walking commercial)...
Chairman Mao and the long march. 12,000km walking around China trying
to get away from Chiang's KMT. That's Architecture and Design for you!
I've been apprenticing and training since I was in 6th grade... that's
more than 12 years of work. And I'll say it straight and true. A lot of
my peers have no idea of the true gravity and responsibility of what we
do. And it sucks when people shut you off for shallow generalizations
about you merely because they see your date-of-birth. But that's how
things go. I'll just keep doing what Mao did, and keep on walking.
Because pretty soon, I'll get there.



3. Great start for my 49ers. Everyones surprised with the new offense
installed by Norv Turner. Frank Gore, will be big, along with Alex
Smith and Antonio Bryant. Hope no one important in the team gets
injured. To the NFL: Watch out... the niners are on their way back.



4. One of my dad's favorite stories is of how mango trees don't start
bearing lots of fruit unless you start hurting them... by burning
debris under their branches, hacking at their trunks with machetes,
etc. People are like that. If you're too comfortable you don't grow.
You don't bear fruit. So many people in the world do not realize that
they are being lulled into stagnation by the same things they want to
obtain... Countless people have wasted their lives not knowing this,
and not growing further by focusing on what are the things they need to
grow further as individuals. But then again. They don't know about it.
So there is no regret or remorse on their part for whatever unrealized
potential they have. Because they have no idea, because they're
distracted by appearances, by ad imagery, by things that don't
matter... Heck I'm beginning to think maybe they don't have it in the
first place.
