30 Jan 2010I attended the recently held PHP Summit 2010 at Rembrandt Hotel, Tomas Morato. I never expected that the crowd is as big as it was. I’m glad to have a chance to learn about PHP and ASP.Net Interoperability and Website Scalability.
I also had a good time with my team mates Gibelle and Jeru and happy to meet a friend from Cebu, Raymond.
Congrats to the PHPUG especially to the volunteers for making the event a success.

8 Jan 2010Fasting? Yes! You’ve read it right. This is my first time to join this annual 7 days of prayer and fasting at VCF.
Why am I doing this? Here are few of the reasons:
I won’t be very specific here. I reserve some things just between me and the Lord. If there are also things that you’ve been hoping and prayer for, please join me not maybe in fasting but in prayer. Let us claim that this year, greater things are yet to come and this year will be a good year for all of us.
Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do AMAZING things among you. –Joshua 3:5

3 Dec 2009“…it makes me think”, this is my today’s shout out because some people keeps making me think. Then after a good conversation with my boss over lunch, I updated my shout and added “…and I need to think more”.
So what’s the connection of this thought in our life’s choices? I was just delighted with the discussion with my boss and just realized that what happens in our life is always a matter of choice. Either we choose to be the BEST, to be MEDIOCRE or to be the WORST.
If we choose to be the best, we live a life with positive outlook and produce good results. We can inspire other people to also bring out the best in them. We can influence them to think positively as we do. We excel in our endeavors, we grow, we SUCCEED. Read the rest of this entry »
The last few weeks, I had chances of meeting with several business-minded people – clients, future clients, future business partners, and the like. I was so amazed on how they think, how they look at things, and how they see business opportunities in every life’s circumstance. I admire how they plan and how they find people to make their plans work and most importantly on how they act on their plans – their attitude, their courage, their perseverance, their way of thinking.

18 Nov 2009Our HR officer conducted a training, “One Minute Manager” last Monday to the managers in our company. The training is based on the book One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard. We discussed the three secrets of a One Minute Manager which are:
To apply the concept of one-minute goal setting, we were asked to write our goals in less than 250 words. Three things first popped in my mind.

17 Oct 2009Bhee falling in love again? Yeah. I’m in love with culinary arts – the art of cooking (from Wikipedia). I just got an interest to learn preparing foods and drinks like shake, salads, pasta, steak, and the like.
Everything started with a project plan that supposedly started early this year. A personal project, an investment that is to purchase kitchen utensils and cooking equipments. I thought it will just be a plan this year and probably become a reality next year. But then, because of being so exhausted and my desire to do something new and different not related with my current work, this idea pops in my mind the other night. How about trying to learn cooking and preparing special foods during weekend?
Then I remembered my plan to purchase a blender (way back December 2008). Since I got the funds now, I didn’t end the day without having the blender brought home. I bought some fruits,cookies and milk – perfect for shake. This will be my first lesson, preparing shake. So the fun starts tonight! Yey! I really feel so excited.
I’ll be posting my experience here and what I’ve learned as I start loving and learning culinary arts. If you have recipes that you want to share, I’ll be glad to know them.
Next investment, measuring spoons and cups and hopefully oven. Makes me look forward for the next months. For sure this will be super fulfilling and fun.
An expression... a thought... a joy... a pain... a point of view... a shout... a whisper... an experience... an adventure.. a LIFE of a high spirited girl named Bhee :)
