Sometimes I forget who I am.

This isn’t the child taking pleasure in looking at skyscrapers from the sidewalk,
or the girl awed by natural sand castles and sings with the breeze of rain.
This isn’t the teenager who sees sunsets like oranges on a spoon of water,
or the lady taking a pose, strutting on an invisible catwalk.

Of cartoons and TV shows one cannot grow out of,
Of long walks on the beach and raindrops tapping on windows,
Of the blinding sun full of possibilities and water that makes it sizzle
Of directions and that tug to an unknown.

Sometimes I really wish that I can forget who I am.

Nung una kong narinig ang MORCON, nagutom ako. Malay ko ba naman na ang ibig sabihin ng MORCon ay Mastering Online Rankings Conference. Hindi lang siguro talaga ako nagppay attention. On second thought, para naman talagang Morcon yung seminar – it’s stuffed of juicy ingredients that made SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SM (Social Media) and SMO (Social Media Optimization) much easier to deal with.

Dahil adik si Gaea sa Midnight DJ na dating pinapalabas sa ABC5, minabuti kong isulat ang isa sa mga naranasan namin nung Summer.

Hindi po ako matatakutin at lalong hindi po ako mapamahiin. Laking Maynila na po ako at dahil maaga akong namulat sa mga horror flicks tulad ng People Under the Stairs, Friday the 13th, Night of the Living Dead, Pet Semetary at Exorcist, naging skeptical na ako sa mga horror flicks. Nagbabasa din po ako ng mystery/horror fiction. Si Christopher Pike, RL Stine, Anne Rice (Vampire Chronicles) at si Stephen King ang favorite ko noon.

Yung mga horror flicks ngayon, mas creative. Andyan na ang The Ring, Shutter, Exorcism of Emily Rose at saka Mirrors. Hindi naman horror yung istorya ko pero di ko kasi inaakala na puwede siyang mangyari sakin kaya sinusulat ko ito.

Full Steam Ahead, the book I’m reading, describes a company who is always on the go as “fully powered and moving ahead full force”. It however, also mentions that the idea may also mean a company becoming “reckless and blindly moving ahead in the face of danger.”

I think that an empowered company is one where each member finds “company” as fun and “work” as natural and effortless. It is where learning is a value and open-mindedness a requirement. It is a dynamic whole moved by its parts. What keeps it together is a vision. A dream that involves both the company as an entity and its members as individuals.

Thus, everyone knows where they are going. The destination is certain. But the journey is unknown. The good thing is, nobody has to face it alone.
