Simply Complicated

KANLUNGAN

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

natatandaan mo pa ba, nang tayong dalwa ang unang nagkita?
panahon ng kamusmusan sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
doon tayong nagsimulang mangarap at tumula

natatandaan mo pa ba, inukit kong puso sa punong mangga
at ang inalay kong gumamela magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
malayang tulad ng mga ibon ang gunita ng ating kahapon

ang mga puno't halaman ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
sa paglipas ng panahon bakit kailangan ding lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik at tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
makita ang dating kanlungan tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
ngayon ay naglaho na saan hahanapin pa?

lumilipas ang panahon kabiyak ng ating gunita
ang mga puno't halaman bakit kailangan lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

lumilipas ang panahon kabiyak ng ating gunita
ang mga puno't halaman bakit kailangan lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

I'm a few minutes from the end of what was a terribly busy week in the office. The few days i lost two weeks ago from my dad's wake really messed up my schedule. I had to cram in most of my projects to catch up. Still, luck wasn't on my side, latest happenings in the industry im in added into my already huge stack of worries.

I am working for a pre-need company right now. One of our competitors, a top player in the educational plan segment, fell into a huge SEC mess. In some types of businesses, a competitor having problems opens a window of opportunity for the others to gain a bigger share of the market. However, in the industry im in this observation would not be entirely true. Financial companies rely heavily on consumers' trust in order for them to push their products and services. If one player loses it, the effects will be industry wide.

As marketing, it is imperative that we protect our company's interest and come up with announcements that will assure our planholders that we are unaffected by the issue. This translated to a busy week of scanning through internal and industry figures, drafting powerpoint presentations, and yes....meetings. Im so glad this week is through.




Tama na 'yan inuman na
Hoy pare koy tumagay ka

naghihintay nag aabang

Gerry's grill kami tonight!
