10 STEPS TO SUCCESS

1.      Find your passion. What do you love to do? What makes you burn? Figure this out first.

2.      Find out what you are good at. Forget about your weaknesses and focus on your strengths. Are you good at drawing? Public Speaking? Dancing? Your strengths will lead you to what you are MADE to do. Focus on them.

3.      Visualize. What do you want to be 10 years from now? Create the scene in your mind. The clearer the vision, the more probable it is that you will actually achieve it. Your mind is a powerful weapon that you can either use for you or against you. Your choice.

4.      Set goals. It has been said that goals are dreams with a deadline. If you dream…and dream…and dream…without actually doing anything, your dreams aren’t really dreams. They are mere illusions. Goal setting will make you see clearly what you intend to achieve in a certain amount of time.

5.      Make a plan. People who fail to plan, plan to fail. No one can get anywhere in life without a concrete plan. So make one and stick to it.

6.      Follow the plan. Most people make a plan but do not follow through. After a couple of set backs, they just give up. You won’t get anywhere if you have this attitude. Perseverance is one key to success.

7.      Be flexible. There are many ways to achieve your goals. You do not have to stick to one way. Learn to bend so you don’t break.

8.      Get a mentor. Mentors are essential to success. They can help you achieve your goals faster. Whatever you want to do, whether it is climbing Mt Everest or being a wildly successful real estate investor (hey, this happens to be my goal!), chances are somebody has already been there and done that. Find that person and be willing to learn.

9.      Form a team. You can only get so far by yourself. If you want to achieve a big goal, you will need a great team.

10.  Stay positive. A good attitude contributes to 90% of success. Stay away from negative people. They will only corrupt your thinking and drag you down. Instead, bond with positive people. Attitude is contagious. Be happy!

Magkaribal: Last Week

Magkaribal, the Philippine fashion series about love, revenge and family is now drawing to a close. This week is going to be its last. This fashionserye features Angel Aquino, Bea Alonzo and Gretchen Barreto all caught up in a complicated mess of revenge, betrayal and retribution. It all begins when Victoria’s (Gretchen Barreto) dad leaves their family for Vera (Angel Aquino). As if this wasn’t enough as a result of a freak accident, their mom dies. Hurt and betrayed, Victoria runs away bringing her little sister Angela with her. But by a cruel twist of fate the sisters get separated. Fast forward 20 years later and Victoria is now a successful fashion icon, while Angela is a talented new designer. Victoria came back to the Philippines seeking to destroy Vera. But because of Vera’s clever manipulation, she puts Victoria and Angela head on with each other. Vera knows that they are sisters and making them go against each other is part of her master plan to destroy them both.

This series truly is another feather in ABS-CBN’s cap.  As always, their stars’ acting is superb. Kapamilya talents are really well trained. But I have to say, Angel Aquino really stands out in this series. She just knows how to portray emotion so well. Frustration, hate, anger, loathing…you see them all clearly. And after all these years, she still is very beautiful. How I’d love to age like that.

This teleserye has kept me glued to the tv screen night after night. And as it finally draws to a close I can only hope that its ending will be one spectacular event. 

Suicide inside Gulf Air

A passenger was found dead inside a Gulf Air plane that landed in Manila today (Wednesday, October 20, 2010). The police are saying that it’s a case of suicide. The passenger is identified as Marlon Cueva, a 36 years old Filipino overseas worker. He was found lifeless inside the plane’s comfort room. Cueva is an electrician that has been working in Abu Dhabi for more than a year and was on his way home when he ended his life. According to police reports, passengers had noticed Cueva’s uneasiness even before the plane took off. Cueva was rambling about the sins that he had committed and that he should be punished. A nurse offered to do CPR on Cueva but by then it was already too late.

Death always makes me feel sad. Suicide makes me feel even sadder. Human beings are naturally geared towards self preservation. So it really makes me wonder why some people would choose to take their own life. Death is just so…final. Every problem has a solution. Taking your own life will not only hurt the people you love, it is also a crime. Because only God has the authority to end a life. The least we can do is pray for these people. May the Lord have mercy on their souls.

Let us attend Trace Trajano's THINK RICH QUICK Seminar

Are you tired of your dead-end job, living from paycheck to paycheck and running the rat race? Do you want to be financially free? Do you love real estate?

Why? 

1. If you want to succeed in anything - like real estate for example - you are going to need a mentor. Trace has already mentored over a hundred students in real estate. Those who really followed his teachings became millionaires in a few months - some in a few weeks!

2. Trace has broad experience when it comes to doing real estate negotiations and finding good deals.

3. Yes, you can do it on your own. But that will take a lot of time, money and effort. So why not save yourself the trouble? Get yourself a mentor and fast track your way to success!

Probinsyana in Manila

I am flying to Manila tomorrow! I can hardly wait. I'm going with my best friend to attend Trace Trajano’s TRQ 2 Seminar. It’s a seminar on real estate: how to find good deals, how to look for investors, how to raise capital and more! I am passionate about real estate and I want to be financially free.

 These are the top 2 reasons why I am attending this seminar.

I believe that to be truly successful you should not be afraid to go after what you want. Doing what makes you happy will ensure your success. Of course it will not happen overnight. Success is something to be worked at. It takes time, determination and a lot of effort. 

I know that this trip is going to be very fruitful. I'm going to learn a lot about real estate and have fun at the same time! It's also the first time I'm travelling "unsupervised" so that should be something.

Is a new typhoon coming?

Typhoon Juan has barely left Philippine shores but weather forecasters are saying that a new storm might be approaching. PAGASA said that things might get a little crazy if this new cyclone meets head on with Juan.

Uh oh. People have not even recovered from the destruction that Juan brought and a new typhoon is already on the horizon? Tsk tsk. I supposed there are perks in living in Mindanao. We don’t have to go through typhoons here. Aside from a few bombings here and there, Mindanao is a perfectly safe place.

According to Palafox, the incoming weather disturbance is still about 1,500 km away from our area of responsibility. Let us hope that it won’t reach our country. With everything that we have been through this year, we really don’t need to deal with another disaster. Let us be vigilant, keep updated and be positive.

Gerald Anderson explains outburst

Gerald Anderson’s emotional outburst is all over the news. In the press conference of the young actor’s new movie, “Till My Heartaches End” together with his leading lady, Kim Chiu, Anderson suddenly got all choked up and emotional. When asked about this, Anderson said that “It just happened.” He went on to say that he didn’t mean to get emotional but seeing Kim and all their fans there overwhelmed him. It appears that they had a bit of a misunderstanding before, but had patched it up because of the movie.


Ah, to be young, rich and in love. It seems like these young stars really have it all: Beauty, wealth, and a hot boyfriend/girlfriend. Don’t we just love to hate them? But of course the price of fame is loss of privacy. With the media watching them like a hawk, they only have to sneeze and the world immediately knows about it. It’s bad enough when you are going through something. But it just gets worse if you are going through it with the whole world watching you. It is a good thing that Kim and Gerald have managed to patch up their relationship.
As they say, all’s well that ends well.
