my dream wedding

I have just been recently engaged, and it's the greatest thing! My boyfriend was the sweetest --- he bought me a beautiful engagement ring. And the proposal? Well, we were both in tears. We were both so giddy about the next chapter of our lives.

Now, for the mean time, I want to share what I want for my wedding.

Well, I haven't really been dreaming about the actual wedding. Rather, I have my own wish for the reception. It's actually simple. I don't want the traditional reception of a Filipino church wedding that I have usually attended. It's not that I have something against tradition. But I just want to have fun! 

What I really want to do is just eat AND listen to this guy sing. That's it. I want a mini concert on my wedding. Is that too much to ask? I hope not.

finding needles

I quote Steve Jobs as to the difficulty in finding the right applicant to fill the vacancy whether it's a new position or as a back-fill for someone who left the company. This is what he said:

Recruiting is hard. It’s just finding the needles in the haystack. You can’t know enough in a one-hour interview.So, in the end, it’s ultimately based on your gut. How do I feel about this person? What are they like when they’re challenged? I ask everybody that: ‘Why are you here?’ The answers themselves are not what you’re looking for. It’s the meta-data.

I couldn't have said it any better. I mean, I've had successful recruits but sometimes you just get surprised. Your expectations weren't met and so you ask yourself about how the interview went. You just can't recall anything that would have told you about what will happen to the recruit, and to the team.


This week, we will be welcoming 2 or 3 more recruits to the team. Let's all hope for the best!




Cheers,
Team Lead with the lion heart

Brand New Day

Some kind of magic
happens late at night
when the moon smiles at me
and bathes me in its light


It's a brand new day
The sun is shining
It's a brand new day
For the first time in such a long, long time
I know I'll be OK
