all in a day's work

my co-officers in sje and i organized a personality development talk entitled "beyond captivating" this afternoon. i was tasked to pick up 5 huge boxes of eaji from our sponsor in san miguel mills in the morning. we were stuck in heavy traffic plus we got lost. and to add to my dismay the whole pick up process took us an hour or so. so there, finally got the goods then went straight to school.

the event started at around 1 p.m. with Cory Quirino's arrival. have never seen such "jawdropping" beauty before. a mix of ooohhs and aahhs were heard from the crowd (all girls) when she took off her coat.. kutis porcelana haha...tell me if i sound like a "t-bird" for saying these things :) there's no denying the fact that she's a brilliant motivational speaker. we learned a lot while having fun. super kwela din niya. but one thing i noticed though is that her talk is all about releasing your power, your inner goddess, acquiring wealth etc.. there's nothing wrong with these things, it's just that there are certain points in her speech that i don't believe in... too worldly for me if i may say. i was looking for a "godly" dimension... personally, i believe that we are nothing without God and that there is no greater power other than him... but all-in-all the talk was interesting and fun..

our next speaker was Nina Ricci Alagao. she looks so much better in person than on television. her speech sort of became an open forum about confidence etc... people were not really that into it but when she started talking about beauty tips, how to walk, talk, and even sit like a beauty queen that was the time when people really started to listen. one thing that struck me most was when she said that the biggest confidence booster for her was when she became a christian... sayang lang because she was not given a chance talaga to share the gospel... ayun, but super fun din tska inspiring nung talk nia.

all the hardwork was incomparable to the end result. the participant evaluation sheet was filled with good comments such as keep up the good work, we learned a lot etc...everyone went home happy and that's all that matters...

it's all in a days work... :)

to god be the glory. :)
