Learn how to deal and manage bad managers in the workplace. We spend half of our waking life in the office so it is essential to learn how to manage bosses that are giving us a hard life.
Bad boss behaviors discussed here are bosses with favoritism, bosses who don't listen to you, bosses who don't respect your personal time and puts pressure on you to work until late, and bosses who demand the impossible and asks unrealistic deliverable from you. I also discussed 4 general types of bosses and how to influence each type accordingly.

Bike Ride - Manila to Padre Pio Bulacan
Bike Ride from BGC Metro Manila to Lourdes Grotto and Padre Pio Mountain of Healing Bulacan
Going back, we proceeded with Paradise Road rather than go back to Skyline Road. Turned out to be risky at night because it was off road, no lights, and is a dedicated road for dump trucks.
ERRATUM: San jose del monte bulacan, not san juan del monte. Sorryyy naaaa sabaw talaga si tita nyo arlet 😂😂😂

Office Halloween Party & Scariest Lines You Hear at Work
Angkas Halloween Party 2019
featuring Scariest Lines na Narinig ng Team sa Office
Was an insightful Halloween as I asked my team the scariest lines they have heard at work (safe to assume mostly coming from me or their leads who have mirrored some of my ways) - Jump to 2:10 minutes on the vlog for this - watch in HD :)
For myself, it scares me when people tell me "kaya mo yan." (you can do it) When I'm given a new project, or transferred to a new city, or asked to handle problematic situations, or hit new targets, or deal with certain people, and everyone tells me, "kaya mo yan," I get scared. I feel intense mental pressure as if I'm not allowed to fail. This is why my answers are only yes or no. Either I'll do it or not, there is no try.
But someone told me, "to try only, do not feel like you have to do something well, but you only have to try it."

Biked from Makati to Tarlac Goshen Resort - My First Long Ride!
I biked from Makati to Tarlac (Goshen Resort). Grabe. My hands and pelvis were hurting after around 60km. My willpower started to drain at 70km. Then my back and legs started to hurt at around 80km. Long rides do not test one's physical endurance only, but more so mental endurance.

I tried not to use the battery of the ebike, but by around 70km, I couldn't keep up with the group's pace anymore so I had to turn it on to not delay the group. My pack was heavy so rather than giving me a speed push, the ebike just helped me carry the added weight i was carrying - around 7kg (2kg for battery, 2kg for water, 1kg for ulock, 2kg for other tools / food / clothes)
The road to Tarlac is flat and supposedly easy, but it was tiring especially because we all did not have enough sleep prior the ride. This is my first 100+ km ride (one way.) My longest ride before this was only around 40km (one way.) It was really a new experience for me.
For now I want to do maybe around 50-60km ride only (one way) to practice, before I do a hundred km again.
Some learning from my first long ride
- Buy higher lumens and battery capacity beam light - better if can be both usb and battery enabled so can last longer (at least 6hrs) - or buy spare beam light
- Buy saddle gel to make the saddle more comfortable
- Check saddle set up. I had pelvis pain during and after the ride :(
- Check handlebar / brake set up - After maybe 50km, I had hand and backpain also.
Thank you Trinx Bikerhood Philippines for letting me do my first long ride with you guys!!! I could not have done it without your support and assistance! Woohooo!!
