So long and thanks for all the fish!

I'm moving all my blogging to a different site---or sites, rather. From now on, my blogs, photos, and notes will be posted.

Why?

Nothing. I just think it's time to get serious with my hobby. I love writing, taking photos and shi!t. LOL.

But I'm not abandoning multiply...of course

Parable of Time Management (repost)

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz" and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!" "No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is, "If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life, time with loved ones, your faith, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question, "What are the 'big rocks' in my life?" Then, put those in your jar first.

Douchebag Jar

Dahil gusto kong seryosohin ko na for the first time ang new year's resolution ko, gumawa ako ng "douchebag jar". Ginaya ko yung idea sa TV Series na New Girl...na tuwing may gagawing douchebaggery si Schmidt, kailangan niyang maglagay ng $1 sa douchebag jar.

Ganun din sa akin, whenever I 1) act selfishly 2) am not being humble (ano bang opposite ng humble?)

Maglalagay ako ng----huhuhuhu----P100 sa douchebag jar (na sa totoo lang ay hindi jar).

So far wala pa akong naiisip na pag-gagamitan nung maiipon ko dun. I'm thinking of something that will not benefit me --- or something that will benefit me when I do something good---parang reward.

Gusto kong gawan ito ng sistema para maging mas effective siya.

Any suggestions?
