The Ateneo HS Class of 1990 come back to play basketball for a great cause – burning excess fats.

The weekends are a fantastic opportunity for burning 500 calories while having fun playing Basketball with old High School classmates after a long week of work.

Sundays were set for burning all those excess fats at Gualandi (School for the Deaf) along Balatas Road, Naga City from 5pm to 7pm. Sonny Rivera who is a close resemblance of Miami Heat’s Dwayne Wade invites everyone to the razzle dazzle.

To make the event with much hoopla, a uniform is now on the design board of Dr. Nong Regondola. Expect the uniform to be “dentally fit” for everyone to wear. The budget for the uniform is set at 500 pesos. For more information, you may contact Dr. Nong at 09285504851 or Toots Canlas at 09209508447.

Everyone is invited to come to see the stars of Class ‘90 battle against the players from other Batches. There is no charge for admission.  This is a great way to watch the Class `90 regain supremacy of the hard court while burning beer bellies.

1. Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.
2. Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.
3. Don’t get too comfortable with who you are at any given time – you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.
4. Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you.
5. Each one of you has something no one else has, or has ever had: your fingerprints, your brain, your heart. Be an individual. Be unique. Stand out. Make noise. Make someone notice. That’s the power of individuals.
6. Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
7. The only enemy is ignorance.

1. Wear Headphones – If your job is anything like mine, these are a Godsend. People walk up to me and notice that I’m wearing headphones and are immediately much less likely to ask me about something. Obviously, if it’s important, they’ll ask anyway. Actually listening to music is optional, but it can make this one more enjoyable.
2. Position Your Body ‘Intently’ – Body language has everything to do with people’s perception of your level of busyness. If I’m sitting back lazily in my chair, one hand on my mouse and the other fiddling with my iPod, I’m practically inviting the chick from A/R to bug me about something. When I’m really concentrating, I have a tendency to lean forward in my chair. You wouldn’t believe how much this helps. If your body says “I’m busy”, would-be productivity killers will pick up on it and might just leave you be.
3. Flat-out Ignore Them (at first) – This goes hand-in-hand with number 1. If somebody walks up to my desk and says “Oy, Brett!” (and I actually hear them), I’ll completely ignore them the first time. This is only marginally effective and probably isn’t something you’d want to use on the CEO or anything. If they persist, obviously you’re going to have to talk to them. However, this will weed out a good number of bored coworkers looking to chat about some sporting event or something.
4. Hang a Sign – If the above choices prove ineffective, open up your favorite word processor, increase the font size to 48 or something, and type “IF IT’S NOT AN EMERGENCY, EMAIL ME.”. Now print that bad boy and tape it to the back of your chair, or pin it to the wall of your cube. Far from subtle, but this will definitely be effective (especially when combined with the others).
5. Messy Desk – If you have all sorts of crap strewn around your desk, it’s a pretty clear indication that you’re in the middle of something. I know this flies in the face of being a good GTDer, but it will help.
6. Say “I’m Busy” – When it comes down to it, the other items in this list are just non-verbal ways of saying “This had better be important”. If the person carrying the TPS report is especially dense and still feels the need to take you away from your work, you can always fire back with “Is it an emergency? I’m in the middle of something”. More often than not, they’ll respond with something like “Oh, uh, ok, sure…”. Mission freakin’ accomplished.
