Yay!

Yay!

Hey Folks! So...I have a new job. These days, to get a career is hard for so many people. Truly, i am extremely thankful for having the opportunity this given to me. I am now managing one of the largest bars/bowling alleys in Portland. It's a very unique place--very nice and classy but lots of fun! I love holding events, so I can't imagine a better place for me to work.

Now it's time to ask the question. What is your dream Job?

I have realized that when you work in your lifetime, your job should not be a job, it should be something that makes you feel excited every time you wake up. I hope that you do find that career or job that you love to do everyday, as I have.

When I first applied for this position, I was lucky just to have the opportunity to be a part of this company. To have a higher position and be the promotion manager for Grand Central is more than I could have asked for. I basically control parties and facilitate the events. It's so much fun!

Of course, my dream job would not be for everyone. Some people like to fish, while others like to work in a high rise office building. What ever you choose... your life will be less stressful if you are doing what you love!

Am I dreaming?

Am I dreaming?

Like most of you, I try to find the purpose in my life. I am trying to find the thing that makes me happy. Of course I am happy being with my family. But I haven't had the best of luck trying to nail that perfect job.

I really do not want to go in to too much detail (mainly because i do not want to jinx it), but I think I may have just landed my dream job. When i mention it here on my blog next month, most of you would probably think nothing of it or think, "Why is that his dream job?" A dream job is when you work at a job and it feels like you are not working. You just do what you enjoy most. To most people, a dream job is a job you wish you could get...but still is a job. I love to do many different occupations, scting, modeling, hosting, jjing, business...etc. But, there is that one thing that completes all those and turns that in to one incredible job!

Sorry for being so vague, but I am sharing with you the excitement I have for what is in store of me. Once I get this ...my life will turn around to another direction. And this direction will give another opportunity to do more and use my knowledge for another position. This dream job is just a beginning.

This is part 1 to this blog, because this will be a to be continued!

Is it true?

Is it true?

There are many theories to actual life on this planet. Religion gives us so many options for theories about why we exist. Scientists believe that this is just evolution and after a billion or so years...human!

But there's one thing that keeps puzzling me. It's the quantum physics of human life. the belief that our minds control the way that our lives are being directed. Is it true? Is there such a thing called "The Secret"? Some people have the power of attraction by thinking of what will happen to themselves.

Personally, I have my own goals. I have a direction in which I would like to go. I have a wish list, and I also have my "someday i will get..." list. The way that this "law of attraction" works is that if you think it, it will come. As people pray for miracles and believe that God will provide, it's your mind that provides the same results.

The reason for my blog on this subject is that things have been happening in my life that, at this point, are quite negative. Is it me that is causing this to happen? Or is this is just a bad time in my life? I don't know what to think. I believe that I should keep trying to stay positive and know that I am blessed more than others. I should keep my head up and know that there are better days ahead.

Thank goodness for my friends here on English, baby!, and thank you for reading. Life is weird. To enjoy the sun, you must experience the rain. :)

I Love Being a DJ

I Love Being a DJ

Not sure if most of you know, I DJ for events, weddings, birthdays, and other special parties. The best thing about this side job, is that i get to play music and have fun with people who are already having fun...because they know they are at a party. It's amazing how music does effect so many people. That last statement sounds so odd. The reason why is because many years ago, I only liked a certain type of music. And as I matured, I have learned to appreciate all types of genres.

Music. It's so important for all people. Everyone likes THEIR music. It is very rare to meet someone who doesn't like music. People do however, hate certain types...but love their own music. I have played all types of music. I have seen the way people react when their music is being played. Some people remember the time when they heard that song. Some remember the love the had when that song came out. Some even remember when they were growing up how they actually looked during the time they danced to that song.

I love doing what i do. I enjoy the reaction to what i play and at the same time, being an MC/Host for many years, this job fits me perfectly. Next time when you hear a song...maybe it's something you like, maybe it's a song you don't like, give it a chance. Because somewhere around the world... that someone's favorite song!

Losing Weight

Losing Weight

I am usually a health nut. I have always been a little lean and sometimes gain a few pounds here and lose a few pounds there. However lately, I have seemed to have lost the power to lose those few pounds. What is wrong with me?

In the past, I have always been criticized for my weight, especially in the Philippines. I have followed the no carb diet, no sugar diet, South Beach diet, and a few other random diets. Because I was so focused on weight, I became a fitness trainer here in Portland to share what I know to clients and help them lose the weight. These days I just keep putting the pounds on.

What has gone wrong? Is it because that I became a dad two years ago? Is it because I cut down on drinking and going out and now I eat more? Or did I just never know that I was eating more than I should? I believe it could be that I am just getting older and my body is not metabolizing the way it did when I was younger. Either way, I am feeling crappy about it. I have a goal to lose the weight and get myself back in to shape by August, so I am eating more now and then I’ll lose it all.

I can do it…do you think I can?

Nice to Meet You

Nice to Meet You

Yes, I am one of the new cast members of English Baby. You know, it's been so much fun.Actually I have started to think of our shoot/dialogue times as being my therapy session. I get caught up on the current movies and artists of the world, catch up with the other cast members in their lives, and even have some good pizza while doing all this.

I have been an actor for more than 10 years. Most of my work , however, has been done in the Philippines and doing this type of work is not really new to me. However being with various personalities on set has made me a rookie in the United States.

It's really great to work with people who have different lives. Mostly in the industry of showbizness in the Philippines, people do the same thing and communicate with the same people. Since I have met my new friends, each one of us does something different in our lives. It's nice to meet people outside your circle.

The topics of English, baby! really make me think more of what is currently going on in the entertainment world. These days, I work with a corporate company and I usually focus more on business and I don't really have the time to know more about what is going on. Learning about new movies and new artists and even old ones who have made a new album, makes it easier for a conversation starter.

I am excited for the next shoot. Go English, baby! Thanks for letting me part of your team!
