Let’s see… I’m the most learned in my group of high school friends back then (bookish, erudite, walking encyclopedia/dictionary/thesaurus) even though my math skills are… moot, as I could put them, but that’s okay because I’m more of an artistic person and I’m quite glad of it After all, don’t we many types of “smarts” like street-smarts, emotional intelligence and so on?

K, I would count all those criticisms as massive compliments—these are all pluses!

“…you have to be “ma-abilidad” to become successful these days.”

I think I feel that I am on a different “path” from most people in my workplace. I have these sense of imagination that, it seems, few of them understand. I remembered I had been told that I am “too sensitive,” “think too much” or is “too much of a perfectionist”. And that may be I am a highly creative person and I remain unaware that I am, in fact, creative. Hehehe, kapal ba?

I’m not quite savvy when it comes to emotional intelligence. I’m not good as a team leader really. Sometimes, when I have recently been assigned as young manager in my team, and I have noticed that I appeared to be unable to make the simplest of decisions without seeking advice from my big boss. I guess that’s one of my weaknesses or maybe just afraid my Boss would not be in favor of my ideas.

But what I think it’s just about trying to taking the risks to make myself available to act as a mentor. In my job, I really find it difficult to communicate with them since I don’t speak their language, I can’t express much of the exact ideas/thoughts about what I am trying to share.

At sana kinuha ko na lang Architecture or Designs. I really wanted that course, kaso that time, getting a Medical course was so “in” nasunod lang ako sa utos ng mga magulang hehehe.

But I have a chatter Intelligence. I know a lot of chat-lingo and what ROTFLMAO really means.

That “row” classification was (I guess) a system of reward for the children from their teacher. I don’t really know if it works.

That reminds me of the time about “pa-kopya” of test answers. In elementary grades, the one who behaves, goes to the 1st row. As we grew up, we teases each other about “row 4″ (row poor) seating arrangement, funny to think but it’s true that getting an Education has a good opportunities for you to fit into a society. Pansin ko lang karamihan talaga sa mga Asians and magkaroon ng proper Education and Diploma.

Teka, san na kaya yung College Diploma ko nun?
