Diet on the go

As I am getting older, people of my age are getting out of shape. If you have plans on getting on the corporate ladder, you have to stay on shape. By doing so, you will have the benefits of being healthy of course and with a wind sprint.

My attitudes towards diet has drastically changed with the lectures conducted every Saturday thanksgiving at Apalit, Pampanga by Dr. Villanueva:


  • Eat fruit one at a time at empty stomach
  • Rice and vegetable combination
  • Vegetable and meat combined
  • No drinking after eating meal
Eat, drink and be healthy. Let your food be your medicine. Good diet on the go!

Still finding for a new job


The joy of job hunting is fun! You have to wait for you to be interviewed. That's coupled with patience and a lot of patience. And it's fun to work back to home.

Until the night I received a message telling me to come for interview. Atlast, the hard work of putting a great resume generated interview! And that's an achievement.


All of this came from advice from the book: Perfect CV. It tell you everything you need to know how to create yours perfectly. So grab a copy guys and get something to read and learn which we have never learned from schools out there.


Good luck. Send me a note if you have a copy.

On music training

Do you have synonyms for the term, From everlasting to everlasting? Mine is simply as from music to music! Before the creation there is already music. According to Sharon Fabian, she said in here article entitled Music from the Beginning:
  1. There was music before there were people to listen to it. Birds sang. Wind whistled, and ocean waves crashed in a steady rhythm.
  2. People have probably made music since their earliest days on earth too. Maybe the first human music imitated the sounds of nature. Humans may have created songs in imitation of the sounds of other creatures. Once people had words to speak, maybe they also had words for songs. Simple hunting tools might have served as early percussion instruments. Simple flutes made from hollowed bones have been found that date back to 10,000 BC.
  3. Archaeologists have found evidence that music was played in ancient civilizations including ancient Egypt and Babylonia. Since early music was not written down, the earliest evidence of music is in the form of pictures showing musicians and musical instruments. Evidence of written music from the later BC years has also been found.
So to all music lovers out there, try to learn some instruments. It's fun!

Working as radio DJ

Last Thursday, June 2nd, 2011, marked the day when I eagerly applied for the position of a deejay at the renowned rock FM station in Roxas, Isabela. After expressing my interest and undergoing the initial screening process, I was informed that I would receive a call the following day, Friday, for a sample airing. However, despite my anticipation, the expected message never reached me. As the day passed without any communication from the station, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and uncertainty about my prospects.


Reflecting on the situation, I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that perhaps my geographical location posed a hindrance to securing the position. Living in a different area from the station's headquarters, I realized that logistical challenges might have influenced their decision-making process. Despite my qualifications and enthusiasm for the role, it seemed that practical considerations might have outweighed other factors in their deliberations.

Nevertheless, as I mulled over the events of the past few days, I couldn't help but feel that a simple courtesy gesture would have provided some closure to the situation. While I understood the complexities involved in recruitment decisions, a brief message informing me of my status would have been greatly appreciated. Such small acts of consideration go a long way in maintaining professionalism and respect in the hiring process, leaving candidates with a positive impression regardless of the outcome.

But to give you an idea of what deejays are doing, you may click here for the details: http://www.bls.gov/k12/music04.htm. It's full of information there published by the website.
