Above is the link to Boy Abunda’s article about how Angelica Panganiban learned about her adoption. Some months back, Angelica figured in a bitter fight with a fellow actress who was her friend since their “Ang TV” days. Several weeks before that, she was fighting with that fellow actress’ sister because of Derek Ramsay, her boyfriend.
There was something in Angelica Panganiban’s eyes that caught my attention. Her eyes were filled with kept emotions; sad eyes even when she was smiling. When she was a young girl, I remember that she dreamed of becoming a beauty queen someday. Those were the days when she played second lead to Camille Pratts.
The viewing public never had a hint that she was not her mother’s biological daughter. The only thing that we know was her parents were separated. Seeing her in a picture with her biological father after years of separation really melted my heart. It made me cry.
I felt Angelica’s joy; she felt complete after seeing her father. I wish she was given the chance to see her biological mother but she died in Singapore two years ago. Nevertheless, her love and respect for her is still there.
Many children, adopted or not, take their parents for granted. Many parents, biological or foster, take their children for granted. Angelica loves both her foster and biological family. Hats off to this girl!
Ang pagnenegosyo daw ay parang sugal; pwede kang manalo o pwede kang matalo. Pwede kang manggulang o pwedeng ikaw ang magulangan. Masarap magnegosyo. Ikaw ang amo ng sarili mo. Ikaw ang CEO, ikaw ang bahala sa direksyon ng negosyo mo. Mali ang persepsyon na habang malaki ang kapital na inilagak mo sa negosyo ay mas malaki rin ang balik ng kita. Sa katunayan, may mga negosyong nagsimula lang sa puhunang PhP 500 na umuunlad talaga.
Tayong mga Pilipino daw ay walang talento sa pagnenegosyo ng gaya sa mga Intsik. Karamihan daw sa mga Pilipinong nagnenegosyo ay nalulugi din.
Paano nga ba maiiwasan ang pagkalugi? Narito ang ilan sa aking maibabahagi.
1. Kung ikaw ay nagnanais magtayo ng maliit na negosyo, halimbawa na lang ang sari-sari store, iwasang kuhanin ang malaking porsyento ng puhunan sa utang lalo’t malaki ang interes na babayaran.
2. Huwag bumili ng mga slow moving items. Halimbawa ulit ang sari-sari store, mas mainam na magsimulang magtinda ng mga basic commodities gaya ng sabon, bigas, asukal, kape, mga sangkap sa panluto at mga patok na chichirya. Ang mga ito ay fast moving items, mabilis ang balik ng puhunan komo ang mga ito ay talagang pangangailangan.
3. Alamin ang iyong market. Wag mong ipagpilitang magtayo ng negosyo sa isang lugar na hindi ito tatangkilikin. Kaya mo bang magsugal ng puhunan at gumastos sa marketing ng produkto mo? Kung hindi, huwag na lang.
4. Iwasan ang pagpapautang. Napakagandang magpautang sa taong marunong magbayad sa takdang panahon. Pero kung kalahati ng kinita mo ay inutang, nangangahulugan din ito na mas malaking pera pa ang kailangan mo para sa dagdag-puhunan. Kung ikaw ay nagsisimula pa lamang, iwasan ang malaking pagpapautang o magkaroon ng kasunduan kung kailan dapat ibalik ang perang inutang.
5. Pumili ng tapat na tauhan. Napakalaking biyaya ang magkaroon ng isang tapat at masipag na tauhan. Ang pagkalugi ng isang negosyo ay dahil din sa kung ano ang kaledad ng tauhan meron kayo. Kinukupitan ba kayo? Tamad bang magtrabaho? May mga tauhan na kahit maayos magpasahod ang amo ay nagagawa pang mandaya sa serbisyo. Kung kaya’t pag nakatagpo kayo ng isang mabuting tauhan, sya ay ituring na kaibigan o kapamilya ng makuha ninyo ang kanyang kumpiyansa.
6. Patuloy na maghanap ng mas mura at de kalidad na raw materials. Magtipid sa kuryente at tubig. Maging masinop sa gamit. Ang operating cost ay isa sa humihila sa negosyo pababa. Dapat nating maibahagi sa ating mga tauhan ang importansya ng COST-SAVINGS.
7. Magkwenta. Ang araw-araw na pagkukwenta ng mga gastusin at kinita ay isang paraan upang mas masubaybayan ang pagkalugi o pagkita ng isang negosyo. Ihiwalay ang personal na pera sa perang kinita sa negosyo.
8. Magkaroon ng direksyon. Halimbawa: Ngayon, ako ay may isang maliit na karinderya na may mga regular na customer na mahigit-kumulang sa 35 kada araw. Anim na buwan mula ngayon, gusto kong magkaroon ng 100 customer kada araw sa pamamagitan ng:
1. pagluluto ng mas maraming putaheng pagpipilian
2. pagiging magiliw sa customer
3. pagma-market ng aking lutuin- maari akong maghatid ng lutong-ulam sa kalapit na opisina kung ang mga nagtatrabaho dun ay mas gustong kumain sa opisina.
Sa madaling salita, importante ang direksyon dahil para itong pangarap na gusto mong matamo.
Toothache sucks! No, I don’t have a dental cavity as I’m very meticulous when it comes to my dental care and hygiene. Three years ago, my dentist recommended to repair my upper molar and did a tooth pasta. The pasta seemed to overflow because my upper and lower teeth didn’t seem to “lock” naturally. So I went back to her a week after and she suggested to redo the filling. This did not solve the problem because that tooth became sensitive to cold liquids and chewing became painful.
Then yesterday morning, three years after the tooth pasta, that tooth became sensitive to hot liquids, too. It was aching the whole day until bedtime; aching as hell!
My friend recommended a good dentist but the clinic is in Olongapo City. An officemate referred a good dentist nearby but I heard that his clinic is usually full of patients/loyal customers.
Mine could be a case of an exposed tooth root. For the meantime, I’m taking mefenamic acid to ease the pain. =(
This Sensodyne commercial is old (try to find it in youtube, dears!) and I wonder if this Dr. Georgia Revilla is the Georgia Escalante that everybody in Tdel knows (well, if you studied in Tdel in the early 90’s, you should know!)
If she really is Georgia, then it’s good to know that she’s still active in making TV commercials. Yeah, this commercial is way back two years ago; my point is, George has been making commercials since college and it’s good to see her still active despite her new profession and civil status.
George, it’s good to see you still fresh and beautiful. You have maintained your schoolgirl charm through the years. =)
