2022 gave me a Bang! What is next for 2023?

While for everyone else, 2022 is the time where the new normal is settling in, that everyone is getting used to living with covid, for some of us it’s not quite the same.  All of us definitely we had challenges, maybe at school, at work or at home, and handling these challenges may be different per individual and this is alright.  

What I want to say is that no matter how strong the storm was, we need to get up again and again and personally I know I need to do the following to continue to be strong, this exactly is applicable to all of us! 

As we enter the new year, I commit to doing these things and be more conscious and present.

Just Like that, goodbye 2022

Time Flies! My last blog post was in February of 2019 and if I recall correctly, I stopped writing because there was a life event change and I think I want more PEACE.  Anyways, I was able to achieve that and have transitioned my blogging to vlogging.   My YouTube account is kldfernando.  

Let me look here, okie what should I write about? Well, it's pretty obvious that Christmas is just a couple of sleep away and 2022 is about to end so what do we need to do then?  I saw this great quote from Brene Brown and it's very simple.  We need to let go of what we think we are supposed to be and embrace who we are.  If you look deeper, this is pretty simple, but is it?

For me, Acceptance is KEY and not thinking about what others think of us is equally important to embrace who we are.  It's 2023 and by now we should have learned the ropes that no one else (well ofcourse our family) will accept us from who we are but ourselves, so let's show that!

In one of the movies that I watched, it said that 

"Reputation is what other people sees in you"

"Character is who you really are"

So let's focus on our character and the reputation will follow.

Something to Learn from our Fur Babies!

When I was growing up, my siblings and I were not exposed to any pets.  When I met my husband, that's when I was introduced to pets because he has his fur baby, Ciolo.  

Ciolo is a Mixed Japanese Pitz + Tsih Szhu and is a very sweet and clingy one.  This is when I started to recognize my love for our four legged family members. 

Fast forward to this date, we have one Black Labrador (at home in Laguna), 5 AsPins in Angono and 7 more AsPins in Camella + 2 AsPins that we play with who lives within our subdivision. We have a lot of babies and it's very evident that we love Dogs. 

One thing I noticed about them is that they are very approachable, one of course needs to know how to approach our fur babies so that they will not be on attack mode.  I will never forget Ciolo, because the minute Sweets honks when we arrive for work, he will not stop barking.  According to Mama, Ciolo knows what time aproximately we will arrive, say on  a daily basis we arrive at 730pm, Ciolo will wait wait by the door at 7pm (as in nasa pintuan naka tingin) as if Ciolo can smell us from afar. That's how excited they are to play with us.

One thing that I would love to adapt from our fur babies'  behavior is to always (as in always, with not single second fail) be positive.  As if always saying that Everyday is the Best day of their lives.  

That all throughout the day, they are only waiting for us so that they can let us feel how much they loved us! They are very sweet right? I wish we (humans) can be like them at least 75% of the time.  If this happens, we are definitely off to a better world! 

Do you think so??

Dating Tips from a Stingy Person

It's still the Love month and this is the month were dates happen very often.  Who doesn't love date nights and cuddle time with our partners? Dating is an important aspect of a relationship because it deepens the bonding between two people and it gives an opportunity to get to know your partners well. 

Dating is not limited for couples, like husband and wives, boyfriend and girlfriend, partners or simply dating couples.. You can also date your parents, your siblings, your best friends or even your friends. Dating can be as glamorous as the royals or as simple as Fishball dates. 

First, we need to find out first the objective of the date.  In almost all of the cases, dates are ways to bond, to know people more, build connection, reconnect and most especially to show how much you care and love the the people you are dating.  

Let me ask you this. What gets in the way why we are unable to date the people that we love? I can think of two things: 

1. Not enough TIME
2. Not enough BUDGET

If it's TIME, this is easy to answer because if a person is important to you, you will MAKE time no matter how busy you are.

If it's MONEY, then this is why I am writing this blog.  I have been married for close to 9 years and I would like to share the tipid dates that my husband and I shared. Here goes: 

1. Movie nights at home - you may rent a CD or copy a movie to your USB and cuddle all you want while watching in your wide screen at home. 

2. Hike - when my husband proposed we hiked a few kilometers going up the mountain. 

3. Jogging - we actually went walkaton.  We were supposed to really jog, but I kept on talking so it slowed us down but it was a lot of fun. 

4. Kitchen Date - when someone is cooking, the other one is preparing the table for dinner.  You are both being productive and are spending time talking to each other. 

5.  Kite Flying - we only did it once but it was a lot of fun.  It would be good to create your own kites but as for me and Sweets we had to buy one for convenience sake. 

6. Biking - well this entails both of you having your own bikes, but if you don't, there are parks that offers bike rent.  This one you can definitely enjoy without the need to buy 2 bikes for this date. 

7. Sunset watching - we are lucky because there is a place near our house with a great view of the sunset.  It's a nice feeling to watch the sunset together. 

8. Gardening - we have a small garden at home.  When I am cutting the grass, my husband is watering the plants and while we were both busy with our greens we are having small conversations which definitely are meaningful. 

9. Walking your dogs - not only have you bonded with your partner, you also bonded with your furr babies. 

10. Staying at home and making all those little chismis and making fun of each other. 

There are a lot of tipid dating ideas, we just have to be creative and go back to your objective.  No matter how fancy or simple your dates are, if you are meeting your objective then you are having a successful dating time.

Cafe in the Sky: Must visit when in Baguio

Yes it took me a month to write this blog post about Café in the Sky but even if it’s late, I know it will still be worth it because this post will be informative (hopefully). 

When I posted my quick review via Trip Advisor, I have received a couple of inquiries, thus posting an official blog about it (with more details) will definitely help a lot more people who are interested to see the magnificent view on top!

Quick Side Story - Café in the Sky is located at Tuba Benguet and they became extra famous when the teleserye “Forevermore” was played at primetime.
There were influx of tourists at that time and there were some areas of the forest that were taken for granted.  The control that was placed by DENR is to make the place a protected forest area and closed them for tourists.  Their case is still at the court and who knows when it will end – as for Café in the Sky – they want to end the case ASAP so that they will be open for tourists again and be fully operational.


That being said – I would like to confirm that Café in the Sky has NEVER been CLOSED. 

They continue to be operational but not to the optimum level where tourists are coming in and out from breakfast until dinner.

During the day (between 7am – 5pm) there is a DENR checkpoint, where, if you are driving with your private car, you will be put to stop and will be asked for a DENR permit to enter the premises.  This is not only applicable to tourists but also applicable to locals (people from Baguio themselves). So it is not advisable to go during the day using your private car.   Not only there is a DENR checkpoint, if you are a private driver, I doubt if you will be able to smoothly handle the terrain, as it is steep going up the mountain.

My piece of advise – before visiting Café in the Sky – make sure that you have contacted Kuya Marlon (their Chef at 0946 965 9332).  This contact number is also made available online when you look up "Café in the Sky" via Google.

He will be the one to connect you with respective FX Drivers who can drive you to and from Café in the Sky.

The pick up point is at Petron Station (this is just along Marcos Highway). 
It will take approximately 20 minutes going to Café in the Sky.

From Mountain Lodge (where we always stay when we are in Baguio), it was only a 15 minute taxi ride going to Petron Station. 


We were there at 4:30am, had some coffee and burger from Minute Burger and our FX Driver drove us to Café in the Sky at around 4:45pm.  The best time to go to Café in the Sky is before the break of dawn – like as early as 4am to 5am. 

Baguio Sky Line with their wonderful lights.

At this time of day:
1. The DENR checkpoint are a lot easier to pass through (I am note sure how it happened but it’s just that).
2. You will see Baguio City’s Sky Line and lights – it was magnificent and to echo what I wrote in my timeline – it was like looking at the galaxy
3. You will see the bright stars (please hope that it will not be cloudy) and the moon.  A definite view to look forward to
4. You will witness the break of dawn – though it’s not a sunrise golden view because of the mountains blocking the way – it was still a great experience
5. It’s very cold – I will peg around 10 degrees and it’s cool (haha)

The best view to take photos.

Café in the Sky do not serve a lot of dishes. I would say probably because they do not have a lot of visitors.  I must also warn you that they are quite expensive (see below menu) but are a sure win for the stomach, especially their TapSiLog.  I understand this in particular because they have low tourist visitors since their area was closed to tourists (again, 4 years ago) and of course they need to earn some money to continue their operation.

Once you arrive Café in the Sky – my tip is for you to not have breakfast yet. Why? You are really there to witness the view and not to eat.  My suggestion is to have some biscuits with you if in any case you will feel hungry.  Then proceed outside the Café at their terrace – in there, you will see a great view of the Baguio Lights, the stars and the break of dawn.  Below is a quick top view of the Café and where I recommend you to head and set up your cameras. 

Trust me – when we were there, we accidentally stayed at this spot and a lot of tourists guides were guiding their tourists at our exact place to take pictures – so better be there first.

Be prepared with your winter get up – well it’s not as cold as the winter weather in NYC or in Japan but definitely colder than the metro.  Also, the view at Café in the Sky is cool for winter clothes photo opps.

Enjoy your stay there because the view is really worth it!

Welcome 2019!

Time really flies so FAST! We just welcomed 2019 and now we are halfway through January!  January is a special month for me and my family -- aside from our get togethers, it's also our Birthday month.


January 4: KL and Louise
January 30: Papa Gary


I am looking at 2019 with all enthusiasm and positivity that everything will go well!  I don't ask for too much from Him, i only ask for these three --


1. For my family (both Diaz and Fernando) to be healthy no matter what!
2. That we continue to spend more time together than we used to! 3. Lastly, to be more forgiving and not being too hard on myself, my friends and my family!


I am actually tired of listing my New Year's Resolution because quite honestly, I am not good at keeping them (and I know how to improve). So I think the best thing to do is to "JUST DO IT".


I am happy that we started the year at the right foot.
We had our yearly Diaz Family Reunion, where the theme is ---
Yes you got that right "GATSBY"

 

 

If you still haven't noticed, we love to dress up!
Well baka ako lang -- pinipilit ko lang pamilya ko! hehe!
But when you come to think of it, it's fun to dress up even for only once or twice a year because it gives us a different aura! 
You can also visit our Hawaiian Themed Party!


Then it was followed by our Birthday Celebration at Baguio.
I am happy that finally we were all able to go to Baguio together!
The best part of it was we were all together, eating dinner,  having some conversation along the fireplace.

How about you? How do you want to spend your 2019? :)

Christmas 2018: Happy Thoughts and Laser Focus Positivity!

I always talk about - even in previous blogs that my favorite season of the year is Christmas Season! Not only (according to the song) it's the most wonderful time of the year - but because it is definitely the most colorful and festive time of the year! 

It's also an excuse to wear those colorful Christmas Clothes wherein no one will mock and make fun of me because its the season =) haha!

PS: This below is the greatest gift that I received!

For me, it's also the time wherein most evidently, people tend to be more patient, forgiving, appreciative, jolly and loving.  It's the time where people (I am not generalizing) tend to slow down and step back from whatever we are busy about the entire year - whether it's working, going to school or business.  it's the time to really be merry and spread joy and happiness with our family and friends.


Another excuse to take photos together with large and colorful Christmas Trees!

No matter how we want to celebrate Christmas Day -- the important thing  for us is to take the time to reflect on the true reason for the season.  To recharge and pamper ourselves to get ready for the coming year and most importantly -- To spread LOVE, HOPE and FAITH to everyone!

Remember that Christmas should not only be celebrated every December.  It has to be celebrated all year round because it's the Love of God to us that Jesus was born and saved all of us!

This should be seen and felt by your family, the gift that cannot be bought and that no amount of money can ever replace.

How about you? How are you spending your Christmas?

How can we Focus?

Can you relate with me when I say that there are a lot of things to do?  That it’s hard to identify which one to do first if it’s Urgent, Important, ASAP or Critical?


Does your calendar look like this?

Yes, this is my calendar and I was not happy to see this!  There are moments like this when I needed to take each meeting and to squeeze them all in — is this healthy?  My answer is “NO”.

Why? It’s hard to focus — it’s like, there is no time to breath and think of what to do first.  Because instead of planning ahead, there is another meeting coming up that you need to attend.  Then action items piles up and not to mention your emails and other adhoc tasks.  This is just so NOT GOOD!

So what do we do?
Okie — let me tell you this — WORK WILL NEVER GO AWAY — let me repeat that — WORK WILL NEVER GO AWAY! We need to accept that fact!

Number two, we are not robots who doesn’t get tired of working LOOONG hours.  But what if everything just needs to be done ASAP, URGENT, IMPORTANT?? We prioritize and when we do, we focus.

I would like to share what’s helping me Focus:

1. My To-Do List – This is really helpful for me.  I am the type of person who is really having a hard time to focus — when I am in the middle of something and then suddenly a file is not saving too fast — my mind will wander and open another email to respond to.  Then i will not notice that I was not able to finish what I was actually doing.  My To-Do List solved the problem — when I was in a middle of something and my mind wandered — I write it down — that way I can:
        (1) Focus on my original task
        (2) Remember that I have another action item on my plate.

2. I take DND (Do Not Disturb) Status in Skype seriously – In one of the discussion that I attended about Truly Human, there were discussions about the Mind Dimension and its related to Focus.  To be able to focus, we should remove distractions and I bet you will agree 100% that pings are a super distraction.   It’s either you will:
     (1) respond – then you are distracted or
     (2) will ignore but will eventually will not be able to remember the ping — if you noticed, when you ignore a ping — it will (for a time) stop blinking. 

This can be a two way sword — people might think that you don’t want to be reached out to — this is Wrong.  If it’s really important / urgent, then people will either approach you, or even text or call you.  Accenture People finds ways — we are good at it.

3. I schedule focus time – In my opinion, attending back to back meetings does not equate to productivity.  Yes you may be productive because there’s a lot going on but were there problems solved? or items closed? more often that not, another meeting needs to be set to eventually close an item.  Anyways, I schedule “FT” Focus Time.  This is blocking my calendar to do an important task so that it will not be blocked by another meeting.   Or even blocking a short breather time.  One of my best practice is scheduling meetings for 45 minutes instead of an hour.  One, it helps me maximize the meeting time that I have and make sure it’s productive, two, I have 15 minutes more to focus and start another meeting (if unavoidable).

4. 60 – 15 approach – This is when I work for 60 minutes and then breath for the next 15 minutes.  How do I do it, i use my phone alarm and it really worked on my focus.

5. I talk to my team and laugh – Really most of the time, when I need to focus — i need some time to talk and laugh (this is me and we can all have different approaches and I am such a talkative person).

These are the things that helped me Focus.  This is not something that may be applicable to all but maybe can also help you.  Different folks, different strokes so what works with me may not work for others but I am welcome to hear best practices so that I can also apply them.  That in itself is Collaboration!

How about you? How do you focus?

Do we Blend in or do we Stand Out?

We are human beings and a quote says that no man is an island. Therefore we connect with people to be able to relate, live and learn.  From the time that we were born, we were surrounded with people, by our family and friends. 

Then, when we went to school, we were living our day to day life with our classmates, teachers, peers and school mates. A way lot of interaction around here.

Followed by our work environment, when we eventually enter the corporate world or even start our own business.  We interact with different people and we all know that there are a lot of personalities around the world. 

The question is, when we are with the rest of the people around us, do we blend in or we stand out? My answer it's not an exact science, because whether we blend in or stand out depends on the situation we are in. 

You see, and probably you also know, that all of us are Unique. There can be more than a hundred thousands of personalities around the world and no one can have the same exact personality.  With that in mind, we cannot say that in every situation we "Blend In" or "Stand Out". 

Let's take some situatuons where I believe it would be best to Blend In and Stand Out. 

School Play -- 
In this scenario you can do both. How? 
If you are playing a key role in the play, it is important for you to "Stand Out" and play the role you are assigned to. If you do it well then it will help on the overall plot of the play and make it successful.  If you overdo your role, it will appear exaggerated and it will not create a good storyline for the play -- in this particular scenario - you "Blend In".  Make sense?

Project Management --
This is when there can be different mini scenarios where you either Stand Out or Blend in -- Here's when:

1. If you are the Project Manager - definitely you have to stand out because you have to manage the entire project and get things going.

2. If you are not the Project Manager - but when there is a task that needs to be picked up. Opportunities knocks very seldom and when they do, it can make or break you. So when there is a task that needs to be done, grab it and "Stand out".  Make sure that you can accomplish it :)

3. If you are a team member - who is handling a big ticket item on the project.  You "Stand Out" in your turf (to make sure everything is done at your end) and "Blend in" with the entire team - this is another way of saying to become a "Team Player"

4. When a decision needs to be made - you can either "Blend In" with the rest of the people's decision (meaning, you just agree with the majority).  Or "Stand Out" and be firm with what you believe in even if it's only you who believed in it (or a few of you).

There can be different scenarios where we either Stand Our or Blend In. What's important is that when we do - it's always for our and our family's best interest.  Where we can learn, contribute and be fulfilled.

Bonus: In the Corporate Setting - If you see that an employee is "Blending In" with a lot of decisions and projects, we have to be cautious.  Employees who "Blend In" can be someone who doesn't care about a particular decision or someone who needs to learn how to be firm.  If it's the first one - we need to start talking to this employee and find out the motivation.

Online Shopping on a Weekend

We are in the season of buying gifts in preparation for the upcoming Christmas Season.  We love to give gifts, no matter how expensive or cheap our gifts are, it really does not matter. What matters is the thought behind the gift and the person giving it. 

We are in the generation of digital shopping wherein we love to shop online.  My husband's new past time is really online shopping and luckily we have never been scammed nor were not satisfied with our purchase. Reason is that we review the sellers and the reviews they receive (it really helped). 

I recently shared a post about supporting our family and friends who are doing small business, it will definitely help. 

I am sharing and recommending the Online shoppe of my sister, Louise. 

Visit her FB page and look at what you can get for Christmas. For yourself and for your friends.

Enjoy!!

What do you do when you are stressed?

 

It's not always a fairy tale story or a walk in the park. Whether its at home, at work or at a public place - there will always come to a time where we will feel sad, frustrated, annoyed or even angry.

 

One time, Papa and I are bound to Community General Hospital for his Dialysis. We were waiting for a tricycle to bring us there. We had three tricycle drivers who refused to take us to Community General Hospital and I was already irritated by their attitude. Finally, on the fourth try, we were able to take the ride. Then when we arrived at the Hospital, I paid the normal fare because the distance is not even more than 4 kilometers (the same amount I paid just that morning when Louise and I went to Community), but the driver told me that I still lack Php10.00. Since I don't want to waste my energy, I told him "eto ang Php10.00, hindi ko naman ikakayaman ito!"

 

How do we deal with it?

 

 

A lot of studies says that stress does not do any good for our body.

In a study made by Very Well Mind it states how stress is affecting our brain and it's not a light matter.

 

I am not claiming to be an expert when it comes to removing negative feelings or situations, but these tricks helped me and I want to share with you:

 

1. Pause - In a burning situation (like a heated argument or a complicated client), more often than not, the best thing to do is to pause for minimum of 5 - 10 seconds. It will give us enough breathing and thinking time to process the situation carefully. If we need to respond to the person we are talking to, the pause will give us the time to think and answer calmly. Remember that sometimes arguments are heated not because both parties are right but because of raised voices.

 

2. Laugh - after finishing a dreadful or toxic meeting, road encounter and the like, we need to again take a breather. Silence doesn't apply to me much (you know how talkative I am) and so I release this kind of stress by talking to my team (people around me) and just breaking into a great (loud) laugh. When we laugh, we release .... more so when we are laughing with the people we love.

 

3. Eat - this is the last thing that I would do because I tend to over do it -- and please learn from me. I tend to munch a lot of chips or nuts, spicy food which is harmful to my (sensitive) stomach. So when it cannot be avoided make sure that the food you take will not make you ill. Another one, if you have budget, treat your team with ice cream or chips (my previous lead did it and we were so happy).

 

4. Reflect - is the situation causing you that stress is really worth the stress. Sometimes, we over complicate things. I remember one situation when one of my family member is having a small challenge at home and in her mind the problem is so big that it caused her to think so much. Only to find out that the problem is something that we shouldn't be thinking about in the first place. Again, reflect if the situation is worth the stress. Else don't bother to think about it because stress will not bring you to the hospital or even pay your hospital bills.

 

5. Ask Help - whether its from your family, friends or even professional psychologists or psychiatrist. It pays to know when it is time to seek guidance counseling or a person to talk to. There is really no harm is sharing what your feelings are to the people that you trust because we will never know how effective it will be until we try.

 

How about you? How are you coping with stress?

Arjay and Anni's Love: In the lense of a stranger!

I have known Arjay for some three years already as my team mate.  We always talk about work because he is so workaholic and I only get to hear something about his personal life when I ask.  Arjay is my exact opposite, he is not talkative and not as open as I am. 

I have met Anni once, as in once, when I attended a Bible Study.
Arjay introduced us and that's it, I was too shy (can you believe it??!!) to start a conversation.

So, in real essence, what I know about Arjay and Anni is close to nothing!
I just know that they have been together for ten years now (which is really something to be proud of).I.  only know some snippet but I dont know the details and the logic behind something.

Arjay, being himself, really didn't talk about his wedding so much (maybe because he is a guy?). Sometimes I would ask him about what's happening and he would answer in a very low voice.

Here comes the day of the wedding.. I don't know anyone except Arjay, Anni, Kat, Kaloy, Sheryl, Pinky and Thea. It was a Christian wedding and a very intimate one with only family and close friends.

The messages given by both Arjay and Anni to their parents were heartwarming and I can relate to them.  When Arjay and Anni exchanged their vows, you will definitely feel the love!
Everyone got emotional when they continued with their vows and it proves to show that love was really in the air! Both Arjay and Anni's sincerity were felt!

To Arjay and Anni - I may not be the first person that you'll ask if ever you both have some Questions about married life but I will always be here to give my POV when you need one.  I am sure that your Love for each other will be more than enough to withstand any trial or challenges.  Like what I said in my written message to both of you -- No one is ever born perfect but you both can definitely be perfect for each other! 

Ps: I have attended many weddings and this is the first time that I saw a pure white wedding cake! You both are unique and pureness of your hearts really shows!! Muah always!!

Corporate Functions Gantimpala 2018



Photo by Borj Toribio

I have been with Accenture for a total of eleven (11) years now and through the years I have seen how people work and deliver.  I grew up (in Accenture) hearing the tag line of "High Performance Delivered" and i have experienced how high performance is delivered.

When I moved to the Corporate Functions HR People Advisor Team (three years ago), that's the time when I was exposed and have been part of different Corporate Functions Events. One of which is the annual CF Gantimpala Awards night and this is what I want to highlight in this post.

I was privileged to be part of Gantimpala's Core Team because I am able to learn and do Project Management! Project Management is something that I didn't have any training and managing Gantimpala is a great opportunity to learn.  More importantly, I am surrounded by people and leads who are very supportive to give guidance.  My leads, Ira, Uzzal and Mai, who really empowered me to deliver!

This year, our event was held at Shangri-La at the Fort (Bonifacio Hall).  It was our first time to have our Gantimpala Event there and it the venue and food were excellent.

Photo by Borj Toribio

While we were waiting for the event to start -- the guests were delighted about our 180 degrees Spin shot care of Pose and Print.  In the three Gantimpala events that we led, this is the first time that we have this.

This is how the 180 degrees Spin Shot look like.

Our masters of ceremony were Ojay Fudalan and Rowie Zamora -- both of them were amazing at how they hosted and appeared to be experts in this field!
They already have an alternative career option :)

My sincerest "Thank You" to both of you, i hope you enjoyed the night!

We were serenaded by our Band and String Quartet - it made the event even more elegant! They have set the mood to an awards night.

Outside the ballroom - and to make sure to keep the momentum we also had Red Carpet correspondents and they interviewed some of our nominees.

Photo by Borj Toribio

Thank you Randy and Francine for a job well done!

You will also see a lot of people taking selfies and seeing them makes me smile.

While the rest of being interviewed, taking selfies and photos, listening to our string quartet and band, our registration team is so ready to get the ball rolling!

You all rock!

Another thank you to our Usher Lead, Arjay and Emman!

We also had Airdance to grace our event.

Thank you Ambe for giving a wonderful message to all Corporate Functions people! We appreciate your presence.

I will never get tired of Thanking my Leads, Ira, Mai and for the empowerment and continuous support! Without these opportunities, I will not learn. 

My supportive and ever patient counterpart from Marketing, Karen!

Thank you also CMC for partnering with us and making yet again a successful event! 

Thanks Joan for the trust and support! 
Thanks Jane for the literal backbone support, your team (Ivan and Jen) were awesome!


Lastly but definitely not the least, God Almighty for giving everything that we have. Without His Grace, we will not be able to execute such wondrous event.
