This blog is mainly about my thoughts on life, work, and business but I sometimes throw in some of my art and poetry, reviews of my favorite tools and workflows, and my gaming.

This felt really stiff and awkward. That’s to be This felt really stiff and awkward. That’s to be expected after not playing for so long. I was just focused on getting used to the court and loosening up my very stiff right shoulder. When I’m not hitting well in practice, I try to focus on things like recovering from a bad game, or forgetting the last shot and focusing on the current one, or not losing my temper. There’s always something to improve even in situations that don’t seem to be working out. As usual, I’m wearing my @altamaboots Maritime Assault shoes. I do everything in these shoes.
Active day today! Worked-out at 6am, played tennis Active day today! Worked-out at 6am, played tennis at 2:30pm, and ran at 5:30pm. Did them all in my @altamaboots Maritime Assault shoes. I really think a disciplined and active lifestyle is the best way to deal with stress, anxiety, and lethargy. I like how reps combine to form mini accomplishments, and these remind me that there are still many areas under my control, and as long as I stay committed and keep progressing, I can look forward to a great future.
Yesterday’s gym! This is what I take with me whe Yesterday’s gym! This is what I take with me when I travel (plus a yoga mat). Combined with running, yoga, and body weight workouts, that’s a lot to keep me challenged and on track to stay high energy, pain free, and extremely functional.

Saturday Morning with @elijahbonifacio. Excited fo Saturday Morning with @elijahbonifacio. Excited for the new Venom movie coming out! Let there be Carnage! I love drawing, painting, playing Minecraft, and creating with Elijah and other kids because they ask you, they challenge you, to make stuff you wouldn’t normally think of. Anything is possible in their world, and it’s fun to go visit them there.

I was talking to my good friend @neilnakamoto abou I was talking to my good friend @neilnakamoto about a favorite theme: The Future of Work. One question that came up (that keeps coming up in other conversations): Will you require your employees to go back to the office? Here are my thoughts: Let’s start with Clarity around our mission, customers, customer value, and priorities, then let’s ask, “What are the Competencies we need to achieve all those?” Only then do we ask, “Where are these competencies best acted on?” Where we work is not a function of management convention, individual convenience, or popular social media opinion propagated by media that do not care about our organization’s goals. To us, the question we’re asking isn’t “Should people come back to the office?” but “How do we empower ourselves and others to create and capture massive value for our customers, our organization, and ourselves?” The WHERE becomes clear when the WHY, WHO, and WHAT are aligned on. We have a wonderful opportunity to redefine work, by that I mean how we create and capture value. Let’s not waste it on reactive questions, shallow opinions, and linear answers. As for me, I want to create and capture value anytime and anywhere. And I want the same for all our teams. #onlydumbhashtagsfromnowon
@jujut_e, John Januszczak, Mayor @vicosotto, and @ @jujut_e, John Januszczak, Mayor @vicosotto, and @jannadeguzie signing the partnership agreement to bring even more accessible SME loans to the city. Dynamic City (@pasigpio) + Dynamic Bank (@unionbankph) + Dynamic FinTech (@storiesofaccess)! Looking forward to rolling this out! Thank you to @jemanzanero, @dsgoyo , and to everyone who made this possible. Driving home, I thought about the amazing things dynamic leadership can accomplish, about the possibilities that open up when leaders look for solutions and put the people they serve first. This is just the start!
If you can keep your head when all about you Ar If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! — If, by Richard Kipling
A simple morning routine does wonders. Every morni A simple morning routine does wonders. Every morning, I workout, do my devotions, and meditate. For breakfast, I only have a cup of coffee or Matcha (no milk) and and glass of psyllium husk, to avoid getting out of a fasted state. The best routines are the one that help you achieve your goals, and they’re different for everyone. So define your goals and set your routines mindfully.

@elijahbonifacio and I found old @raspberrypi part @elijahbonifacio and I found old @raspberrypi parts and built a @lego house for it. We then connected it to the TV in the living room, my @logitechg gaming mouse and @logitech Bluetooth keyboard = a minicomputer that can get on the Internet and play media! Though the peripherals cost most more than the computer, I think it’s important for kids to know that they can put machines together themselves and understand how they work. It will be a good foundation and give them more ideas of what’s possible in the future. #familyprojects #raspberrypi #raspberrypibuilds #legobuilds #fatherandson #diyprojects #familydiy #techdiy #legohouse #legotechology
