Creativity

• training your mind to think positively.
• Race yourself : Look at the clock & commit to have the task done by a specific time. You’ll stay focused, avoid distractions & probably work with higher quality.
• Can you find an extra 15 minutes in your day to use more effectively? Is there "wasted” time you can eliminate or a lower-valued task you can cut?
• Spend 10 minutes each day focused on one thing - anything you want it to be. In a fifteen years, you'll be a bonafide expert!
• Spend the last hour before bed planning the next day. You'll wake up with confidence and a game plan, important ingredients for a great day!
• Read one book each month that is aimed towards improving some skill or talent.
• Spend one hour each week studying up on your career field or industry.
• Enroll in a free online or live course. These can be found using Google, at local schools, libraries, etc. Not only will you improve yourself, you'll also be able to meet other likeminded people to share your passion with!!
• There are so many little things that you can do to improve your skills, and therefore improve your self. There are many things in life that we waste time on, professional and personal development are NOT some of them. Take some time to nurture your talents and your techniques.

• Plan the Procedure.
• Prepare with Patience.
• Perform with Pleasure.

• It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
• Happiness is not a destination. It's a method of life.
• You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

Discovered a TAKE OUT SALAD stall named Goolai.

Discovered a TAKE OUT SALAD stall named Goolai.

I discovered a TAKE OUT SALAD stall named Goolai.
Goolai is behind the VMALL, on the side of Theater Mall.
A Fullpack Salad is P 138 with a smaller option of 90ish pesos.

The package says: Prepared Fresh Daily and it shows! You can feel and
hear the crunch of vegetables when you cut it using a plastic knife.

It's made by the Agri GRrowers Multi Purpose Cooperative, it said and
the Expiry Date is 2 days from now. Nice.

What did I get? I asked them their hottest selling item and they gave me
this:

Mixed Greens and Shrimp Fritters, Calamari Rings, Mandarin

Oranges, Cherry Tomatoes, Almonds.
with Oriental Sesame Vinaigriette (w/c looks like Chicken Gravy).

I just finished eating it and its wonderful. I wonder if I'll become fit
if I eat this for a month? I hope they set up a branch in Robinson's
Pioneer or They Deliver!

That would be fun.

Was I paid or given favors to make this post? Nope. There you go.

Wouldn't vines growing on bridge supports weaken the bridge?

Going around Singapore (refer to http://www.traveljournal.com.ph for
pictures) I noticed this singular bridge with a base that's overgrown
with vines you cannot see the support structures anymore. Now I see it
happening along EDSA's flyovers. They put a wire around the support (was
it called pylons?) and now a vine is growing on it.

I thought: wouldn't the vines eventually put roots into the concrete and
crack it in say, 100 years?

After research I found that I was wrong.

It depends on the vines, the vines the construction people used did not
do that and it gave the added advantage of absorbing the noise that
surrounds the bridge.

So there, Vines make it pretty and quiet-ter. Now if only those buses
would stop honking just to get passengers.

Have you been hacked too?

Someone hacked my other SITE!!!! http://__________.com used to be a
portal of Worship Leader _____________--now its a portal for ______ _ _
__ _ (an adult dating site)!

I can't find the help-line to Blogger -- they don't seem to have any
email address for "assistance". Google has marked it as a SPAM BLOG and
it is--but they also did not let me delete the contents anymore.

If you are smiling because you did this. My God will take care of you,
He is greater than all of us and He does take care of all revenge duties

Rebirth of Philippine Komiks

Don't know why but things are falling into place for the rebirth of Pinoy Komiks. It started out personally when I got my copy of Arnold Aare's "Mythology Class". Then I went around the comics shops and found NO MORE LARGE FORMAT PINOY MADE GRAPHIC NOVELS. That's pretty sad when I was still looking for Aare's older works.

Then I found the expensive (P100) manga style comics made for kids w/c really didn't work for me. I'm more into epic stories. Then out of the blue I noticed that the huge BONI billboard had a cryptic ad that said "PINOY KOMIKS" and showed P10.00 comics. I really don't get what the teaser said but for me it's one of those "hive mind" experiences or perhaps my talent for noticing trends beforehand.

Anyway, look what's in store for the future, below are future projects I discovered in DeviantArt. Our artists are so talented they even work with DC and Marvel already. Look at this list of top Pinoy artists according to DeviantArt: Battle of the Planets, Battlestar Galactica, Vampirella, Xmen (of course).

This one I think will done in SteamPunk style:
