SPREADING AWARENESS & WELLNESS: In celebration of the 29th International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, HIV advocacy group Yoga for Life—in cooperation with the Local Government of Quezon City, The Love Yourself Project, Take The Test, Youth AIDS Filipinas Alliance, beyondyoga, Bliss Yoga Manila, and ECHOyoga—will unite the city in an open-for-all yoga practice at the Quezon Memorial Circle on May 20, 2012, 4 p.m. during the ”Oneness Through Wellness” event.  Yoga teachers will guide the public in the mass yoga practice as volunteers educate!attendees about HIV and AIDS. The event ultimately aims to promote health and well-being among Filipinos, spread awareness about HIV and AIDS, and stop the stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.

I hope you will also find this advocacy worth sharing to your community and help us spread awareness of the event. But more than that, it’s really about spreading awareness about HIV and AIDS, and helping stop the stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.

Having a relationship with someone at work

Personally, I’m not really in favor of this because I feel like what else can we talk about if we’re always in the same environment? But that was really more of a personal conflict for handling and making my relationship with my girl friend even stronger. I’ve had workmates who had a relationship with another workmate and I’m okay with it. Other than it’s not part of my business, I have hundreds of people to talk to as well, regarding work, metrics, plans, strategies and include a little chitchat. But my thought about having a relationship at work went totally different when I decided to work for a small organization. Well, it’s one of the largest organizations in our industry but way smaller than all the organizations I’ve been with, who in numbers have thousands of employees compared to the one where I’m at right now with less than 60 heads.

I’m trying to keep things civil but I just can’t help it when the attack becomes more personal because you have work conflict with her boyfriend. Well, the feeling is really more of an assumption but I tell you, it’s really weird. Proper work ethics, is I think all I can keep to make sure I will always deliver results. But yeah, I just hate the feeling that I’m like forced to work instead of enjoying my stay at work while being productive. Not a healthy place anymore, but yes, I promise to just keep everything civil.

Homeschooling is a practice that, over the years, has rapidly gained popularity in the Philippines. Providing children with a familiar and relaxed learning environment that allows parents to tailor-fit certain aspects of their education based on their needs, remote education shatters the long-standing concept that prime education happens only within the confines of the classroom,  and is also proven to unlock certain hidden potentials of the student—presenting more room for growth and enhancement.  [Read more...]
