Nice One, Japh

Japh,


It’s been awhile since you met us. And with that ‘awhile’, you showed us the True meaning of being a True Teammate, Brother, and Friend. 
May you find your Best Success to your Chosen Career. 

Nice one, Japhet Penaflor, CPA 
*Thanks sa Dinner treat!
Ka-touch ang last message mo sa amin:

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work.  Someone would leave.  Someone always leaves. 
Then we would have to say good-bye.  I hate good-byes.  I know what I need.  I need more hellos.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. 
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
~Irish Blessing

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you all
Until we meet again!

Team 'W'ithdrawal?

Sinabi ko pa dati, na lahat ng mga natira'y, mga survivors, pero bakit tila ata isa-isa nang nalalagas ang Team 'W'inner. 

Team 'W'ithdrawal(ika nga ni Pam) na nga ba?

Sa loob ng dalawang linggo natin sa Production floor, puro hinaing ang mga naririnig ninyo sa akin. Ang hirap at nakaka-stress si Voyager! Gusto kong mag-resign at lumipat nalang ng ibang company. Pero parang lahat ay nakaplano. Iba kasi talaga ang 'Camaraderie'-ng sinasabi dati ni Ma'am Sol.

In my 21 years of existence, I've never felt that I am as special and important in a peer, or in a group. At ang Team 'W' lang ang nagparamdam sa akin nun.

this was borrowed here.

Ngiti/tawa mula kay:
*Rose, sa tuwing sumisenyas ako kay 'T';
*Maria, sa tuwing sinasabi ko ang mga katagang 'Ketch' at 'Ded';
*Paola, sa tuwing tumitingin ako kay Kris;
*Pam, sa tuwing kakanta ako ng 'Papa Americano';
*Sherwin, sa tuwing ipapakita ko ang mga bote ng Minute Maid sa Shuttle Van;
*Jeff, sa tuwing tuturuan niya ako sa mga natututunan niya kay Voyager;
*Hamza, sa tuwing maarte ko siyang tatawagin;
*Isan, sa tuwing ipapa-alala ko sa kanya ang update ko tungkol sa Reserves;
*Mark, sa tuwing tatawagin ko siyang 'Marky'
*Jove, sa tuwing kukumustahin ko ang tungkol sa kanyang Japan employment;
*Joef, sa tuwing nakikita ko siyang kumakanta at sumsayaw;
*Aris, sa tuwing sinasabi niya ang 'Be KIER-ful'(na pangalan ng blog site kong ito)
*Japh, sa tuwing binabati niya akong "Hi, Kier!" 

Napapansin kong unti-unti na tayong nalalagas. Mahirap mang isipin, pero hindi ako ang taong madaling pakisamahan, pero sa inyo ko lang, talaga naramdaman ang tunay na kahulugan ng 'mabuting pagkakaibigan'.

Walang permanente sa mundo.

Nakakapanghinayang na sa huling araw ng Marso, may isa na namang mawawala.

Hindi tayo magkakapamilya, o magkakapatid. May mga desisyon tayong hindi kailangang panghimasukan ng iba.

Ngunit, sana kung dumating man ang panahong tayo'y tuluyan nang mabuwag, we continue to be a 'Winner' as individuals. 

"Never Say NEVER"Justin BiKIER, hahaha

Love you Team W.

Should No One Get More Chance to watch these:

A while ago, I was watching this video shared by a friend on Facebook, and believe me, it made me smiled for what I witnessed.

A different movie trailer of Star Cinema's 'One more Chance' (starring John Lloyd Cruz & Bea Alonzo)

*Credit for the creator of this. He's really a 2G: Genius and Gifted.


And when the video ended, more video links from other Genius and Gifted people popped out. Here are some:

hehe, even Jun Pyo and Jan Di of Korea's Boys over of Flower couldn't get rid of this.

..and so the hit US cartoon, South Park.


I'm so Proud to be a FILIPINO.

Yes! I Gave it My Best!

*Title updated (March 13, 2011), inspired by Rated K

It was an Experiencedefinitely treasured.

Pinoy Big Brother Season 4 Audition
Planetarium Parking, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City
March 4, 2011, Friday; 8:00am to 10:15pm


First time to audition, first screening was a rejection.

Of course, I did not take this seriously, since from the start, I just really wanted to experience how to audition to a BIG Show like this.


I saw different people who were really craving to the Fame ‘key’ Big Brother has to offer.

Finally, got my first-ever audition number!


Met new friends.

Signed the waiver.



From thirst and hunger, heat under the sun, fourteen-hour standing, to unending line of auditioneesI experienced all of them.

What took me to audition?(and, what took me not to attend my work last Friday? heee..) Three days before the audition day (that was Tuesday morning), I saw a friend’s status on Facebook stating “Mag-o-audtion ako sa PBB!” That made me Google the PBB’s audition dates and venues, and found out that the nearest venue was SM Mall of Asia (MOA) in Pasay. Thinking that MOA is 1 ½ hours away from Bacoor, Cavite, I was still in my second thought about not continuing the audition, since I believed that this will take me whole day—knowing that I still have to work by 3pm.

Believe me, this is TRUE: I asked God to give me a sign for me to just go and try the audition on Friday. Showing me something in ‘Pink’ was the sign I was begging from Him, and just a day before the audition date, I saw a ‘Pink’ car when I was on my way to work—Ha!!!! This proved me that God is always there to listen to whatever we ask Him... so, GO! Go! GO!

For those who passed the first screening, I whole-heartedly salute you for giving your very best just to enter the house everyone’s dreaming.

And for those who failed—like me: Better luck next time. Always remember what Alexander Graham Bell says “When one door closes, another opens.”

It’s more than a ‘Fulfillment’.

I’m so proud of myself.

Meet and Feel Phil


What: FactSet’s General Assembly
Who: Philip Hadley, Chairman &CEO of FactSet
Where: NBC tent, Taguig City
When: March 3, 2011, Thursday; 1-3:00p


Mr. Philip Hadley was so nice when I asked him if it’s okay to take a photo (with him). I’d just felt ‘Star Struck’ when he began shaking my hand and asked me “How are you?”—out of nothing, I just smiled him back.. hahaha


This event allowed him to have a brief talk about the performance the company is doing, also, he shared his experiences on how he got the position he’s enjoying now—that we must balance our work from all our recreational activities.

My meeting with Mr. Hadley was my first encounter with someone whom I can say ‘Superior’ or has a ‘High-rank’ in this society.

Mabuhay, Mr. Philip Hadley!
