This morning while searching for the meaning of the name “anica”, which by the way is not very pleasant since most of the sites containing the said name is either a porn site or a foreign language site (not included in the list of languages I know, which unfortunately are only English and Filipino), I found this very nice website about name meanings. Want to check the meaning of your name? Here it is:
Please note that the list of names below are owned by the people who either interests me or loves me :) and as usual, my name is not included in the list :(
Adara : AH-druh : arabic "virgin"
Aiko : IGH-koh : japanese "little love, beloved"
Anica : ah-NEE-kah : spanish "graceful"
Arlene : ahr-LEEN : irish "a pledge"
Elizabeth : ee-liz-ah-BETH : hebrew "god's oath"
Erik : EHR-ik : scandinavian "ever-powerful"
Eudocia : YOO-do-shee-uh : greek "esteemed"

by the way, it think it was yesterday when the king of Filipino action movies, Fernando Poe Jr. declared that he would join the 2004 presidential race.
I have nothing against him or whatsoever; it’s just that I can’t imagine him being the president of our country. not when people who have more experience and more knowledge about governing are having a hard time doing it. what if even ang pagiging baranggay captain eh hindi niya naranasan? Pano kaya niya patatakbuhin ang bansa na may humigit kumulang na 8 milyong katao ang naninirahan? I’m just wondering…
Hay... is he another ERAP in the making? Well, let us wait and see but it’s kinda scary just thinking about it.

I was assigned to the NCE for today :)
4th WEEK OF NOVEMBER
VIRTUE FOR THE QUARTER: UNIVERSAL CHARITY
VALUE FOR THE MONTH: FOSTERING COOPERATION
Keeping Open to the World
Forge unity with neighbors
not at the expense of all others
nor to the exclusion of the broader good.
Good regionalism remains open
to every opportunity to contribute
to the welfare of the human family.
The whole world is our charge
We cannot shirk our responsibility
as citizens of the international community.
~~~ My commentary ~~~
No man is an island. We cannot live alone nor can we do anything on our own. Every thing is interconnected. What we do now can affect the people around us in one way or another.
Politically speaking, the president cannot do everything on her own. Even if she will be given the chance to be a president all her life she cannot accomplish every single task and implement every single project without the help of those people below her. That is why she has her vice president, secretaries, undersecretaries and many other assistants below her.
In a corporate setting a simple work can prove to be very crucial in the overall result of a certain plan or output.
Let no man compare two jobs and say that one is bigger than the other because at the end of the day no matter how big or “small” your work is when we scrutinize the end product, it will not be what it is suppose to be if you did not do your work well.
Always remember that a good worker not only think in a microscopic view but also look and work in a macroscopic perspective, thinking not only of himself but the effect of his existence to the world. And that in the end there are no triangles where there are people at the top and people below but only circles where everybody is equal and important.
Thank you! :)

hehe =D
A middle school was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror, leaving dozens of lip prints. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance guy to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet, and then cleaned the mirror. Since then there have been no lip prints on
the mirror. There are teachers . . . and then there are Teachers.

Did I mention that I love Gilmore girls? Not yet? Well, I do, I love them so much! :) Here is an excerpt from Gilmore-Girls.net:
RORY: And he's preppy, and I don't really like preppy. Plus, he's gonna go study in Barcelona next year.
LORELAI: So?
RORY: So it's a waste of time. It can't go anywhere.
LORELAI: It could go to dinner, maybe a movie.
RORY: Mom. . .
LORELAI: No, look, Rory, I know you've never really dated.
RORY: What are you talking about? I've dated.
LORELAI: Who did you date?
RORY: Dean.
LORELAI: You and Dean did not date. You had a relationship.
RORY: Well, Jess.
LORELAI: Was relationship number two.
RORY: So maybe I've never dated, but you haven't either.
LORELAI: I have dated at least once.
RORY: Mmhmm. You had me with dad - relationship.
LORELAI: Yes, but -
RORY: Max - relationship. Dad again - relationship.
LORELAI: Okay, fine, I may not be the world's best dater, but I do it and you should give it a shot. I mean, you're in college now. What else is there to do in college but date?
RORY: I'm gonna go wash my clothes now.
LORELAI: Wait. Was that it? Is this conversation over? Sorry, did I win?
~~~
Come to think of it, Rory and I are on the same shoe. I’ve never really experienced “dating”. Well if you can call a lunch with someone you like (with your best friend tagging along) a date, and then maybe I’ve dated. But it hardly fits my description of dating.
I would often tell my boyfriend that I would like to experience dating some time, with other guys, I mean -- now don’t get me wrong, I love him so much and we enjoy each other’s company. But this thought is very persistent and would never leave my mind ;) curious? maybe...
I don’t know how he feels about this. I consider him naman as my bestest-best friend (if ever there’s such a term) so I hope he understands. Probably he thought I was just joking whenever I say those things since he would just laugh, shrugs the topic off or tease me about it. But I am serious. I really am.
Now… I have this classmate whom I would like to ask out for a dinner or a lunch, maybe. He is not my crush or anything, I just find him very interesting. Maybe someday when I already have the guts to go beyond my usual self :) I’ll do it.
