During those early years of preliminary studies, the mind were often confused on what career to take. Major consideration those days were on financial aspects of an occupation to chose and also the capability to sustain the option with intellectual and financial situation at hand.I once dream of pursuing a career to be a journalist, being an elective during our senior year on high school, the subject becomes so interesting to me, for it tackles principle and views that relate to a very broad scope. Within the youthful frame of mind , im thinking of being a decisive and critical writer to go through the events that takes place on a daily basis, unknowing of the pressure that might go with the job. Some factors prevent me to pursue that i desire, or it could be viewed that the career being planned on my mind is not really meant to materialize.
I choose to take a more complicated one which is Engineering. Although there is that fear of not being able to make it, i still dare to try. Not having a solid foundation on knowledge basically required for an engineering career , i work overtime to cope up with my shortcomings. Being from a medium income family that is trying to make both ends meet, it is on this inspiration that i strive hard to be able to make it, to complement and be a good model to all other siblings.
My initial job gave me a lot of challenges, this is where the basic theory and principles learn from the books comes into actual practice. These years will enlighten and guide a technical man the virtue of hands on application of knowledge which differs largely on site execution. During all those years of my career, i have come to know and evaluate that Civil Engineering , covers a very broad scope of technology. It includes a wide variety of areas of specialization that of which one has to choose his options.
The proposed development of some nations particularly on the Middle East gave birth to rising demand of technical men to execute mega projects within the shortest possible time. Requirements of staffs from all engineering discipline rises to its all time high. A broad career as it seems, to see a wonderful project into completion brings a deep sense of fullfillment for all the team effort exerted to it.
Technology keep in tune with the changing of time and demand, and on this node that challenges will not lose its essence to the designers and engineers as well.

Time lost will never come back. Passage of precious time will only serve the memory of those events that happen in the life we live in.. I was talking with a special person in my life the other day and our conversation goes through this topic. The quality time on life phases that had been missed because of some unforseen events and circumstances. Going back on the past , it could be notice that there were lot of people, with particular to those generations ahead of us who by part could be viewed to be of luck to experiece the guidance and opportunity to experience strong family ties, deep emotional bonds, happy moments shared with their love ones. Today , as life climb into a goal oriented phase, more sacrifices with regards to family had to be embrace to pursue the goal of giving a secured future to our children and family. On this note, that we, especially OFW , suffer the consequences of this just to achieve what we desire for the good of their future. Broken family, infidelity, values and guidance to our children were some of results of the sacrifices we want to pursue. We sacrifice , because we love and in doing so, love of thyself is set aside to give way to the expression of endearing love to the family. Its a reality that need to be biten, sometimes no matter what the consequences are. Quality time ..Precious life moments will never pass our way again, it is by plain knowing that the road to life's journey is somewhat cleared to pave a way to our children to pursue their dream and goals. Thinking of that would somewhat fill our life goals to full.


Living on essence is giving, and never tire of giving all of the love in our heart.

In brevity, the difference with our purpose to life cannot be identified through passage of time. Each individual directly or the other way around complement with the environment and society we live. When reading some books and success stories , most people attribute their triumph to different factors like people and upholding principles that make a so called trademark on their quest of achieving their goals. The practice of being a good samaritan is one ideal way. Sharing and lending a helping hand give the meaning and purpose in life journey. It will not be on general notion that reflect on the financial side , but also on other ways that could lift the spirits of the not so blessed individuals.

Only few good man had the will to live a life with a purpose and meaning, no one realize that all of the things will go back to where it belongs when the twilight zone come to an end.

Wonder how many ideas trickles into one mind, it comes from different forms, by the way things and events were seen by our naked eye. Quick reaction and response varies and bring a lot of emotions depending on the character of the person involved. One could be inspired and pump up by other triumphs, some were push by their own goals and dreams, while others with a heart full of love, inspired by relationship ..of unconditional love. The perspective to view, evaluate what is the desires of the heart is important. It is because not everyone look at the prime as the main reason to achieve fullfillment and happiness. Most still go for simple pleasures, simple life..the natural way of spending precious quality life with our love ones and of course with our closest buddies.
Finding one close friend, that stays with us through the test of times were already rare this days. Times, days, moments spend with them will forever be etched on the small corners of our hearts! They become archives that will stay there for as long as we live. The mind goes on trance on wishes that one day , time will still grant that our closest friends stay with us for good, and by the time it happens, reminiscence of happy days are here again to stay! and that bring what life really means.

Music play an important part on our lives. It applies to every aspects that come close to the senses. To sum it up , most art forms combine the application of music and different sound effects to enhance the beauty of a scene just like in a movie, the emotional impact as well of such human drama on the big screen. Music is also very broad that individual preference differs by race , culture, tradition and hype. Lot of musical instruments , great compositions, wonderful songwriters and singers each had their own masterpiece to share and contribute to the music history. On relevance with people appreciation and love for music goes well with how they comprehend and attach the melody, meaning and memories of the music that touches their lives. On each person's life journey lies few special songs that is closest to their heart which relates closely with their personal thoughts and feelings. After all the songwriters get their inspiration from their real life experience translated into melodies and words that results into their great composition and masterpiece.

I heard the term from my late brother in law, Theodore Mitchell (TED) , known in Marianas Island as a great litigation lawyer from Harvard University. The word sound familiar for i often read and heard it, but the meaning is relatively unknown to me. In simple terms, within the grasp of my understanding, it connotes adaptability of human body to things we do and all that we used whether at leisure or work. The design of for those to be ërgonomic in nature comes from through experiments and tests. A furniture design to wrapped our body within its contour so that it brings us to deep relaxation without any muscle strain is one good example.

Here are some information i have search on the net about the term:

ERGONOMICS...The term “ergonomics” is derived from two Greek words: “ergon”, meaning work and “nomoi”, meaning natural laws. Ergonomists study human capabilities in relationship to work demands.

POSTURE...In recent years, ergonomists have attempted to define postures which minimize unnecessary static work and reduce the forces acting on the body. All of us could significantly reduce our risk of injury if we could adhere to the following ergonomic principles:
All work activities should permit the worker to adopt several different, but equally healthy and safe postures
Where muscular force has to be exerted it should be done by the largest appropriate muscle groups available.
Work activities should be performed with the joints at about mid-point of their range of movement. This applies particularly to the head, trunk, and upper limbs.

THE PROBLEM...Here, however, we arrive at a serious problem - and a challenge to conventional ergonomic thinking: In order to put these recommendations into practice, a person would have to be a skilled observer of his or her own joint and muscle functioning and would have to be able to change his or her posture to a healthier one at will. No one develops this sort of highly refined sensory awareness without special training. Therefore, in order to derive the benefits of ergonomic research, we must learn how to observe our bodies in a new way.* Any attempt to improve workplace conditions can have only limited success if this issue is ignored.


A SOLUTION...One training program that cultivates precisely these skills is the Alexander Technique. It has a long history of helping people develop the subtle coordination of thought and physical action required to monitor and alter harmful patterns of posture and movement. In short, it enables its students to put ergonomic principles into practice, and thus helps them reduce their risk of developing a repetitive strain injury.

The Alexander Technique was developed in the early 20th century before ergonomics became a recognized science and has been applied since then by people all ages and professions. The Technique can be described as a simple and practical educational method which alerts people to ways in which they are misusing their bodies, and how their everyday habits of work may be harming them. It teaches people how to avoid work habits which create excessive amounts of static work and how to reduce the amount of unnecessary muscular force they are applying to their bodies. Stated another way, the Technique teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity.

The ergonomic principle apply to cellphones too..could you hold your cell without muscle strain?well its ergonomically design!

Just by thought of the three could trigger savory appetite that will results on a food journey. Given a different variations to on how culinary experts could come with various special technique which comes from previous recipe devise by generations of cooking enthusiast. The foods became a hit by their own brands that spread on all parts of the world. A bowl of pasta, a slice of pizza with couple of crispy chicken will be a great meal to go that will satisfy a descriminating appetite. Variation of flavors and taste differs on preferences whether to some degree of strong spicy sauces and garnishes.
