Branding U - How to Stand Out among 90 Million other Filipinos

BRANDINGUPOSTERBLUELR-1

I'm set to attend the biggest Personal Branding Program on December 4.  Two of my friends, Randell & Carlo will be speakers for the event.  They are very prominent in their fields and I admire them for their skills & achievements.

With them sharing how they become successful together with author Efren Cruz is an opportunity everyone of us should grab and NOT let go.

Branding U is for employees, businessmen, freelancers--- even career politicians.  It is about establishing the right skillset and credentials.  It is about using new media and the internet to extend your influence.

--------------------
Earlier today, I met up with 2 of my closest female friends.  We meet up every now and then, usually 2-3 times a year.  We either meet up for coffee, dinner or lunch.  Since Shar is already married & Stef is busy with her work & social life, we just catch up and have our very girl talk on rare meetup occasions.

This time around, we decided to go to Powerplant.  It has been such a long time since I last visited Powerplant mall.  It has really changed a lot.  One place that really caught my eye was Seattle's Best Coffee.

My Big Love

While everyone in the Philippines were busy watching Pacquiao-Cotto fight, I was watching the TV screening of My Big Love.

This movie was from 2008.  The stars were Kristine Hermosa, Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga.  Well, I think the title says it all that it is about love.  What the title doesn't say is that this movie is also about looking beyond the physical aspects of a person.

--------------------
There was a seminar I attended at Ortigas Center last weekend.  During the break, I walked around the area because I was sooo bored.  I ended up stumbling upon this wonderful park located in between buildings.  It was just a refreshing sight!

The 1,590 square meter park was developed by Ortigas & Company to celebrate its 75 years of existence.  It was opened to the public last December 2005.

--------------------
The only shabu-shabu place I know is located at Greenbelt 3.  It has great ambiance.  Even if you're eating something hot, you won't feel uncomfortable.

Service though is a bit blah coz there were only 4 staff that day.  So there was only 1 manning the kitchen, 1 manning outside area, 1 manning the inner area & 1 manning the counter.  How could they serve customers with over 15 tables & they were undermanned?  tsk tsk!
