SILENT APPLAUSE
SILENT APPLAUSE We thrive in affirmation. We love to see, hear, feel, even taste (!) affirmation.

THE TRIPPING POINT No, it has not been misspelled. No, not "tipping" point, but "tripping" point. This is not the time when small things contribute to big successes, as in the book of Malcom Gladwell. On the contrary, it's how success and power, when used wrongly can lead to failure.

BADUY!! (Ninang ko Po?)
BADUY! (Ninang ko po?) “BADUY”- uncool, unhip; not in style, old-fashioned; low-class. Not rarely have people used this term to describe me– well mostly from people who knew I won… Source: BADUY!! (Ninang ko Po?)
