Friendly po talaga ako in real life... I just talk (or write) like I'm over demanding and a slave-driver. I guess this is because I was raised to be a perfectionist and workaholic. I was taught to always try to find ways to stand out among the rest.

I know that we can always do better kasi. Hindi sapat yung pwede na ...or pa-easy-easy lang, enjoy enjoy lang. Because others will leave us behind if we're too complacent in living a life that's good enough. Kaya iniwan ni Ginny (Toni Gonzaga) si Marco (Piolo Pascual) sa Starting Over Again eh. May mga tao talagang mataas ang expectations sa lahat ng bagay especially when it concerns his or her brand.

Brands hire social media managers to entice readers to like their social media pages, posts attractive entries to keep their interest, and engage them with contests, surveys, questions and other campaigns to eventually make them advocates of their brand until they realize they're subconsciously recommending the brand, and the products and services, to their friends.

This is also why brands have regular meetings especially when they are working on a project. Everyone involved in the project will share updates, suggestions, and developments, including the shortcomings, technical difficulties, budget restraints, cause of delays and other necessary information to make everyone aware of the status of a project. Each member of the team has a specific task or assignment in the project but everyone keeps tab of the status of every team member so everyone would know who is not on schedule and who needs some assistance. Everyone openly shares their accomplishments and reports their failures. That's what a good team is all about.

Breakfast at True Deli with Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr

Wazzup Pilipinas!

No kidding! My son and I had breakfast with Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

This festive morning ritual happened last May 3, 2015 at True Deli restaurant located at the Victoria building near GMA-Kamuning EDSA MRT station.

Hearing the date, I guessed you already know that this was during the big "fight of the century" but since Manny Pacquiao lost to Mayweather, I got so sad that this article took several days before I could even write about the very sad day for many Filipinos.

We were all too confident our Pambansang Kamao will win but unfortunately, the Pacman was not as aggressive as we expected. I think everyone wanted a more thrilling pound for pound match between the two. More like when Super Saiyan Goku fought with Vegeta at Dragonball Z TV shows - that was the more likely expectations of the majority but the 12 rounds ended with both men still up on their feet with very little bruises on their faces.

Going back to our morning meal, it was a buffet breakfast of lomi soup, sweet beef tapa, milk fish "bangus" belly, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs and omelets (more eggs). I couldn't eat more than one plate full since I am on a diet. But honestly, the breakfast choices was not really my kind of treat. I wanted more like hotcakes and waffles, maybe cereals with milk...but wait,,...we were advised it was going to be a true Filipino meal so maybe they could have added the tasty and crispy danggit in the menu.
