    3 Quick Tips in Getting Rid of Distractions

    by Haifa Carina May 2, 2020
    by Haifa Carina May 2, 2020

    I started reading Poor Charlie’s Almanack yesterday. On the topic of attracting clients, he said “It’s the work on your desk…. It’s the work on your desk. Do well with what you already have and more will come in.“ To simplify: FOCUS.  Earlier that day, I finished an application for a community accelerator I was interested in. The application required a series of essays and a video. I decided to start and complete it that day. I wouldn’t do anything else unless I click the submit application button. 5 hours later, I completed my application. Yay! It is on occasions…

    by Haifa Carina March 26, 2020

    Leadership, career growth and community development are the topics I’m passionate about. Thus, when I give public presentations these are the topics I enjoy sharing my thoughts on! Today I’m so happy to share that my presentations are now live on Slideshare!  It was only around 2017 when I started to store all my public presentations in one Google Drive folder for quick reference. All presentations prior that I don’t know where they are. Sometimes I make a Bit.ly link to share with the audience for a presentation, sometimes I don’t. Last night with so much time to ponder on…

    Day 10 of Metro Manila Lockdown

    by Haifa Carina March 24, 2020
    by Haifa Carina March 24, 2020

    Today is officially Day 10 of Metro Manila Lockdown (Enhanced Community Quarantine), a government effort to contain the COVID19 virus which is spreading exponentially across the globe. Some conspiracy theories say is a biological epidemic orchestrated by China. Some say we’re experiencing the wrath of God while others say its Mother Nature trying to recover. I think it is what is – an epidemic that needs to be contained and cured. It is a problem that needs to solved. Everyone’s doing their part to contribute in the solution – government, hospitals, foundations, businesses and regular citizens staying home to avoid…

    Happy Birthday Father of Nonsense Family!

    by Haifa Carina August 4, 2019
    by Haifa Carina August 4, 2019

    Months ago, I read an article written by a father to their daughter on his lessons and message on navigating life. I thought it was sweet so I shared the link to my father and asked him if he can write a similar article (he’s a crazy good writer). His response was “but i’ve never been around when you were growing up”. I felt sad but said then you can write about whatever shared memories we have! Since today is his 68th birthday, I thought maybe I’ll be the one to write for him instead! To my dearest father 1,394…
