persona non grata

Candy Pangilinan was declared by Baguio people as a persona non grata after saying ‘tao po ako, hnd ako Igorot!’. Hayden Kho is also recently considered a persona non grata in Palawan, Katrina Halili’s province, and also in Sen. Bong Revilla’s office after the expose of sex video scandals.

Unwelcome person
. That is a persona non grata. I was thinking…do I have personae non gratae in my life?A few, maybe. Some people I encountered and most likely that I don’t want to see them any longer and get in touch with. People who have hurt me and those who have left grave wrong impressions and unlikable conduct. (haha). I am a choosy person. When I meet someone, at that very instant, I can say already if I like him long time or he/she doesn’t deserve any second look. But of course i don’t totally ignore those persons, as I consider that first impressions don’t necessarily last.

Ex lovers can’t be friends -that’s for me. And definitely, they are personae non gratae! :)) Reasons not needed to elaborate it further.

Attitude

I am a crowd hater, I supposed. Being with a large company makes me so anxious and uncomfortable. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I always prefer being alone.

Yet in the convention I have just attended at NIA Convention Hall, (a GE affair), I was particularly moved by one of the concluding lecture of Prof. Lopez (he was one of our speakers for the technical sessions). It was something about ATTITUDE.

Here it is:

A Small TRUTH to make life 100%

If A,B,C,D,E….up to Z is equal to
1,2,3,4,5…up to 26 respectively:

HARDWORK
H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K
8+1+18+14+4+23+15+18+11 = 98

KNOWLEDGE
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96

LOVE? L+O+V+E
12+15+22+5 = 54

SEX? S+E+X
19+5+24 = 48

LUCK? L+U+C+K
12+21+3+11 = 47

(don’t most of us think these are the most important???)

Then, what makes 100?

Is it MONEY? . . . . NO!!!
M+O+N+E+Y
13+15+14+5+25 = 72

LEADERSHIP? . . . . NO!!!!
L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P
12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89

Every problem has a solution, if we perhaps change our ATTITUDE

To go to the top,
to that 100,

what we really need to go further is to…

look at our “ATTITUDE”

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100!!!!


Amazing!
