In loving memory of my dad, who left us with laughter, tears, and a bunch of holey socks. It's been ten years since you started your never-ending comedy tour, and not a day passes without me yearning for your contagious giggles and sharp wit. The void you left behind, dear dad, feels insurmountable.

You were more than just a funny guy; you were a hardworking superhero, effortlessly juggling your responsibilities with a mischievous smile. I still remember those evenings when you'd come home from work, proudly presenting me with my favorite hamburger from your office canteen. Exhausted, yet always ready to entertain. Your comedic timing was spot-on, even if your dance moves made us question our own coordination.

You were the ultimate family man, a steadfast source of love, support, and those dad jokes that were simultaneously hilarious and cringe-inducing. You worked tirelessly to ensure we lacked nothing, and your legacy as a great provider continues to shine in our lives.

But beyond the laughter and jokes, you had a special gift for friendship. Your humble and down-to-earth nature attracted people from all walks of life. I'll forever cherish the memory of you cracking jokes with your Latino coworkers, even though you didn't speak a word of Spanish. You had a way of connecting with everyone, bridging language barriers and lighting up hearts with laughter.

Dad, you left an everlasting mark on our lives, and though the void you left remains deeply felt, we strive to keep your memory alive. We aim to embody your exceptional qualities, even when our own attempts at humor fall short and our dance moves stumble. Your absence is a constant ache, but your presence in our hearts shines brighter than ever.

So, dear Dad, wherever your spirit now resides, we hope you're surrounded by eternal laughter, an endless supply of puns, and an otherworldly audience that appreciates your unique sense of humor. We miss you more than words can express, and though words may fail to capture the depth of our longing, your memory lives on in our hearts.

Merry Christmas!

In this season of giving, let’s be reminded that when we give to others, when we share selflessly; that’s when we find our greatest joy, and our greatest purpose.

May your Holidays be full of warmth, peace, and happiness.

Cheers!

What’s your favorite self help book?

Honoring American Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month:

Did you know that the first Asians documented in the Americas were Filipinos when they landed in California back in 1587?! Did you also know that Asian American and Pacific Islander or AAPI own one in 10 American businesses, employing 3.6 million people?

I am one of them! I was born and raised in the Philippines and moved here with a dream of opening my own business. I did that almost 3 years ago, then I realized… "I opened my business in NYC". 😉

We currently employ amazing therapists from the Philippines and Taiwan, and looking to hire more. Do you know of any rockstar PT who envisions of changing the world with us?! Being here and working here gives us hope of a better life, and an opportunity to better other peoples’ lives. Kinda like a superhero.

As of 2019, there were 4.2 million Filipinos, or Americans with Filipino ancestry, in the United States with large communities in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Texas, and the NY metropolitan area. Due to history, the Philippines and the United States are connected culturally. In 2016, there was $16.5 billion worth of trade between the two countries, with the US being the largest foreign investor in the Philippines.

I’d like to share this quote from actor, , - "I hope Asian American Kids watch Crazy Rich Asians and realize that they can be heroes of their own stories".

To go cappuccinos

Today, I happily turned 40!!! 🙂
And if I could give my 20-year old self some advice, then there are 12 valuable things I would share with him…or me.. 😉

1. Read. Read. Read. Time is short, read books, learn from others’ mistakes. You’ll find special interest in self-help books. For you to stay happy, you need to keep growing, keep learning, & apply the lessons learned. Continuous improvements will lift you up towards new understanding & living. Growth is not automatic, you have to put on the work to get better. Commit to it. What you lack in talent you’ll make up with pure determination and relentless desire to be the best version of yourself.

2. Consistency compounds. You need a morning routine to set you up for the day. Take control of the morning so you control your day. To be mentally healthy, you need a routine. Exercise daily. Also, plan your day. If you don’t plan your time, some else will help waste it. Have a healthy sleep habit.

3. What you eat becomes what you look like. Have clean water as your drink of choice. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Stay away from sugar. Combine proper nutrition with daily exercise. Let food & exercise be your medicine. Be proactive.

4. Start developing financial discipline as early as you can. Make a plan. You’ll learn that having a wealth mindset solves a lot of problems money can’t buy. Small steps can get bigger really fast.

5. Prioritize & spend time with people you care & love the most. You’ll have hundreds of friends for sure. As you meet people, try to build strong meaningful relationships, observe your emotions, & create a community around your values. Focus on improving your attitude and behavior towards others. Stay away from toxic people, instead you should surround yourself with happy individuals who motivate you to become better & to believe in the importance of positivity.

6. Widen your imagination & be creative. You’ll be dancing on the streets of New York. This would be one of your creative outputs which would bring you so much fun, joy, and excitement. Everything is created twice, first in the mind, then in reality. You become what you think about.

7. You’ll experience a lot of challenges, some of them beyond your control, and it’s okay to sometimes fail. Keep in mind that these mistakes will be your guide and are only speed bumps to your success. Evaluating your experience is going to be your best teacher.

8. Feed the leader inside you and practice it in every opportunity you can. Use your head to lead yourself, use your heart to lead others. You chose the right profession. Keep helping people and live a life in service. Influence and inspire others who shares your vision. This is your ‘Why’.

9. Always seek help when needed and identify the demands of life’s 4 dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. You’ll find experts who will teach you to keep your balance. If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you. Strengthen your strengths, amplify them, your natural strengths will give you energy back. Delegate the rest.

10. Your behavior is a function of your decisions, not your condition. You can subordinate your feelings to your values. Do not take things personally. You have the initiative and responsibility to make things happen.

11. Improve your communication skills. Words are powerful, be impeccable with them. Learn how to articulate your thoughts to the best of your ability. If you want the right answers, you must ask the right questions. You can start with “What would your greatest life look like?”

12. Change is a good thing, and it’s best when it’s inside out. Change how you look at things and the things that you look at change. There are 2 ways to see the world. Some people see the thing that they want, and some people see the thing that prevents them from getting the thing that they want. You can go after whatever you want, you just cannot deny anyone else to go after whatever they want. The lenses you see the world will help you make sound judgement and better decisions.

Bonus tip: 20 years from now, you’ll look exactly the same. The secret is..
keep smiling! 😉

Cheers!
