TED on starting a movement

Derek Sivers: How to start a movement




"leadership is overglorified, it's really the first follower that transforms the lone nut into a leader"

hits, misses, scores

had a hard time sleeping last night
because of a weird thought:

what if some gun-toting guy just busts our door open,
oh no, what do i do?!

you see, just about anyone can open our door
unless jio my roommate or i double lock it.

i wasn't afraid of the thought
i just wanted to play it in my mind
and come to terms with the possibility
and thought of possible reactions
and of course, answers to the question

what do i do?

then this morning, facebook friends shared an RIP note
for the designer brian leyva.
i don't know him, my friends do.

apparently, he suffered from a gunshot wound
from a guy who wanted his cellphone,
right in his own neighborhood.

papa will freak out as soon as he reads this.
i will probably get a call.

but that's reality. you never can tell what will hit you.
sometimes.

for now, i'm hungry.

slow applause to GMA

still running even after NINE years as President +

could-have-been-prevented rotating brownouts +

dubious Smartmatic deal +

dubious party-list nominees +

loyalist AFP Chief +

Supreme Court ruling TODAY



and that's just the last THREE months.
and you tell me ALL WE NEED is COMPETENCE? good luck.

shameless plug

the past few weeks have been about shamelessly promoting your cause
and brand and guy and all the crazy things that go with them.

just this morning, we just finished shooting a video
that hopefully will go viral for a senatoriable.

interesting times.
but won't end this without a shameless plug of myself.
just received this message from a girl named Sharmaine:

Hello po Kuya Karl! I'm one of the participants of the Leadership Training in Baguio last 2006.. hehe.. Anyway, it's my pleasure to see you again after 3 years.. I know you're doing great Kuya Karl! Keep on inspiring others.. Take care po.. God Bless! KEEP REMINDING! :D


that was 3+ years ago and it was a fun training
and 3+ years down, i'm still reminded of it.
