Hear yea, Hear yea!

Just learned from a buddy and a colleague, Allahn Joyce "AJ" Bensali a.k.a atenean101, that I was one of the ten (10) raffle winners who got US$100 on the recently concluded 2009 Top 10 Emerging Influential Bloggers. After viewing the official site, I found out that it is true and I am really glad.

Being part of the project is indeed fulfilling, especially that I was able to point the bloggers whom I considered influential and deserve to claim the title. Though it's only Batang Lakwatsero who made it from my list, still I am proud. And though the others wasn't able to make it, still they are emerging influential for me.

Now, we're heads up to the next Emerging Influential bloggers. Who would it be? Well that's for us to know on 2010!

HABIT 1 - Be Proactive

> This is the ability to control one's environment, rather than have it conrol you, as is so offen the case. Self-Determination, choice, and the power to decide responce to stimulus, conditions and circumstances.

HABIT 2 - Begin with the end in mind

> The habit of personal leadership - leading oneself that is, towards what you consider you aims. By developing jthe habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful.

HABIT 3 - Put first things first

> The habit of personal management. This is about organizing and implementing activities in line with the aims established in habit 2. Covey says that the habit 2 is the first, or mental creation; habit 3 is the second, physical creation.

HABIT 4 - Think Win-Win

> The habit of interpersonal leadership, necessry because achievements are largely dependent on co-operative efforts with others. He says that win-win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone,and that success follows a co-operative approach more naturally than the confrontation of win-or-lose.

HABIT - 5 Sek first to understand and then to be understood

> One of the great maxims of the moern age. This is the habit of communication and it's extremely powerful. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationship in all aspects of life.

HABIT 6 - Synergize

> The habit of creative co-operation - the principle that the whole is greater thanthe sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person's contribution.

HABIT 7 -Sharpen the saw

> this is the habit of self renewal and it necessarily sorrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing.

• Girls want to control the man in their life. A woman knows that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling.

• Girls check you for not calling them. A woman is too busy to realize you hadn't.

• Girls are afraid to be alone. A woman revels in it using it as a time for personal growth.

• Girls ignore the good guys. A woman ignores the bad guys.

• Girls make you come home. A woman makes you want to come home.

• Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans. A woman makes her own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits.

• Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their man. A woman knows that she is pretty and/or good enough for any man.

• Girls try to monopolize all their man's time (i.e., don't want him hanging with his friends). A woman realizes that a lil' bit of space makes the 'together time' even more special-and goes to kick it with her own friends.

• Girls think a guy crying is weak. A woman offers her shoulder and a tissue.

• Girls want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so. A woman 'shows' him and make him comfortable enough to reciprocate without fear of losing his 'manhood'.

• Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it. A woman knows that was just one man.

• Girls fall in love and chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, ignoring all 'signs'. A woman knows that sometimes the one you love, don't always love you back and moves on, without bitterness.

Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY EVERYONE...

On behalf of Dreamerz team, we would like remind all the lovers out there, to continue their love in it's romantic sense... Take good care of your relationships, and make it more meaningful and merrier!

I was out the other day

and I saw you in your big black car

and I was waving as you were passing

cause I know who you are

you had this look that of an angel

it was such a bad disguise

did you think for second I would not realize

tripping hard falling down onto the ground

cause I can't stand up

and I can't fall down

cause I'm somewhere in the middle of this

I was out the other night

and I saw you so we had a fight

it was late and I was lonely

and its such a long way home

so I asked you if you'd join me

for a single last call drink

so you turned and bought us 2

and you didn't even blink

you had this look that of an angel

it was such a bad disguise

when you drink it makes you angry

when I drink I want you more and more and more

tripping hard falling down onto the ground

cause I can't stand up

and I can't fall down

and I'm somewhere in the middle of this

well I find it hard

I always tried to find the sane life

but I don't like the way things are

and I keep falling to my knees

somewhere in the middle of thi...
