    "i've just been to a talk by ms. carissa villacorta. she graduated from the ateneo de manila university in 2000 with a degree in bs management. i find her very approachable and bubbly. from her talk i can deduce that she loves to reflect on things. unlike us, she tries to live out the lesson she learned from her past experiences. i would be very grateful if i had the chance to have a sister like her. she has so many stories to tell and she's never been afraid to try out something new 'cause she knows that each path she takes will lead her to where she should be. i'm so happy that my leadership and strategy teacher gave us the chance to meet her.

    and if there was anything that i really learned from the talk it's to stop and take time to express what you really feel, whether in writing, painting, drawing or whatever it is that you feel can fully express what's inside.

    now, there is excitement in my heart to continue life's journey... wherever it takes me. someday, somehow, i'll know what i really want to do with my life. i've got only one chance to live it, so why not make the most out of it, not just for me but for God, my family and my friends as well."

Eventually I visited her website, read up a few of her works. Her ideas ring more in simple and candid writing style. Then i read this article - for workaholics! - I was a self-confessed workaholic, working beyond working hours without pay, a "bayani" awardee at that, and I dunno if this could equate with a place at the LNMB. What Carissa said is so true, she couldn't have said it any better.. just read on.. Our 5-to-9 lives Carissa Villacorta, Oct 05, 2005 It's always either your personal life gets in the way of your work, or your work gets in the way of your personal life.I used to be the first one to arrive and the last one to leave work. I didn't mind staying late to finish things up, or doing work at home. But lately it's been a whirlwind..."
