Halloween

It is a season when children enjoy collecting candles, jumping around sarcophagi, wearing dirty masks, and scaring other children(smaller/younger). TV shows are fun to watch. In the United States, children usually play snowballs during winter. Well, it is totally a different story here since children play waxballs during Halloween. Not forgetting adults, it is a season for filling stomachs with barrels of beer, bottles of wine, and gallons of coconut-fermented drinks otherwise known as tuba.


I really do not enjoy roaming around burial grounds especially during Halloween for the reasons that, you will see people shouting at each other, throwing punches, showing knives, and trying to boast their clan’s supremacy among others. The fear of ghosts is not a thing to consider here, it is the fear of being unable to withstand adults looking for troubles no matter how hard you try ignoring their fun. This is true to cheap cemeteries that are maintained by the local government unit. Company-owned cemeteries are at least safe.


It would be wise for me to stay at home and offer a prayer for my departed friends and relatives. I do not see myself behind bars in the future. Prevention is better.


Happy Halloween!

Importance of daily meetings

Why are daily meetings important? Yes I know what you are thinking, to check if the schedule is on target, to spot showstoppers, roadblocks and whatnots. But aside from those, there are things that make daily meetings rewarding. Let’s face it, some people (including me) find it hard oftentimes to achieve a certain level of focus at work especially when multitasking is inevitable. Meetings will remind us of our commitments infront of our peers. Since most of us will be ashamed of not making any progress, it will trigger ourselves to do something about it. In my opinion, having daily meetings typically before the shift starts will help a lot of peers suffering from bad habits - procrastination. It is one way of invigorating those who have not found their way out yet. “Keep each other in the zone, what are teammates for?”
