Do you want to WIN in life? http://www.chinkeetan.com/
TAN by CHINKEE
Everyone wants to win? No one wants to be a part of the losing team Everyone wants to be a part of the winning team. Despite of that, some people still does not make it in life. Were there certain seasons in your life, you felt that life was not treating you fairly? Have you ever felt winning for you does not come in often but rather rare? Have you attempted many times but at the end of the day you still failed? Are you really eager to know what you need to do in order for you to be on the winning side? If you are, you got to keep on reading. If you want to win in life, you got to set your life to win. In reality, it is much easier to think of losing rather than winning. In order for you to claim victory, it is important for you to be able to defeat this type of thinking. Your desire to WIN should be greater than your fear of FAILING. If the fear of failing is greater than the desire to win, you will never be able to start anything. The fear of failing will make us stay in our comfort zones. “At least, I am safe; I am stable: I am receiving a secure month income.” “What if I lose?” “What
if it fails?” “What if it does not work?” Having the DESIRE TO WIN can be the greatest game changer in your life. Having the DESIRE TO WIN can give you lots of benefits: Gives You Hope You can lose everything but one thing you can never afford to lose is HOPE. Hope is like oxygen, once you lose it, you stop breathing and eventually expires. Hope gives you the power to continue no matter what the circumstance maybe. “Mawala na ang lahat, huwag lang ang pag-asa.” Gives You Confidence It gives you the right attitude towards what you are doing. Work becomes faster and easier, since you know what are you are doing, it can help you to be more productive. It gives you the right attitude towards working with others. You will be able to work better as a team player rather than feeling insecure that someone is better than you are. Gives You Faith It gives you the assurance and certainty that no matter what happens, everything will still be all right. It gives you the power to see it before it happens. It gives you a foretaste of what are the potential for the future. Just like what Oprah used to say, “The future is so bright I gotta to wear shades.” THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Have you come to a point where you have made a decision to focus more on winning rather than losing? Is the desire to win outweighs the fear of losing? I believe this is the time to cast out all of your fears away and start trusting God that God will work it out for good.

infestation of foreign music in our FM band shores. Then there’s the advent of digital download technology in the internet. And there’s the availability of numerous music software that any artist can now record in his own home with less cost and more time. What then is the REAL state of national Filipino music? Of course, the natural culprit would be piracy, and our ‘acquired’ mentality to buy it, even though by doing so has eaten up the life out of our own music and its future. Another natural scapegoat are the recording companies and music critics, and music producers who have based the music industry standard on the salability of an artist or a song, but who can’t even sing a single note or play a single chord and play their game by trying to please their bosses, or the bosses who only have only one thing in mind – sales. And well, there is the mentality of these recording gods that they ‘own’ their artist and their creations are theirs. While the abovementioned were quite outside and indirect, there were the people directly around Yano and myself personally that tried to convince me to call it a day, like Yano’s management, and members of the family who convinced me to make that choice as a ‘wiser’ option, almost on a daily nagging basis. This was what the question really meant to me. This arose in 1999 when I decided to migrate to my hometown Davao. But that wasn’t the reason. The reason was more of the traffic which in 8 years of being there, I can no longer stand. And Davao’s water, which was the best in Asia and the 2nd in the world. I can no longer stand Manila and why should I be there when there’s a better environment in my own hometown. The music stood still in my mind. And I knew that I know what it meant to be in Davao with the music in my mind. And that’s exactly what I had up on my shoulders and cursing my mind. But NOT really. I was thinking in a different direction. And location. I was thinking about a
for a cause’, not only to the Philippines where it originated, but also to the world,” explains Richie de Quina, MyPhone’s Vice-President for Marketing and Business Development. The Ms. Earth beauty pageant was lunched by Carousel Productions, Inc. in Manila in 2001. Now on its thirteenth year, it continues to be the most prestigious and relevant beauty pageant in the world that pushes for the promotion and protection of Mother Earth. Ms. Earth is also known to be one of the top four pageants around the globe. As one of the pageant’s partners, MyPhone will be awarding prizes, as well as a special Miss MyPhone award on pre-pageant activities of the candidates. MyPhone is also powering the official social media feeds of Ms. Earth’s official accounts on Facebook and Instagram by providing mobile units that will surely be reliable anytime and anywhere they go. Miss Lorraine Schuck, Executive Vice President of Carousel Productions (the organizers of the environment-driven beauty contest) expressed her gratitude for MyPhone’s belief and support to Ms. Earth and its advocacy. When asked what she can say about MyPhone as a partner, Ms. Schuck shared, “MyPhone, just like Ms. Earth, is a Filipino brand. We’ve always thought it best to work with brands of our own, and as a partner, MyPhone has always been wonderful. We are very grateful for their support.”
change in mentality – mine. I thought that I knew what I’m up to. All that’s around me, are around me. But not about me. Mine was a different mind. I knew and defined differently what Filipino Music is all about. Its melody. Its rhythm. Its past. And its future. (Although we’re going to tackle this in length in another article here soon). It was the SAME direction where I was since the 1st album. And my childhood mind before that. We already had it then in the 90s. Even in the 80s and way before that when Filipino music began – our appreciation of our own music. We had our APPRECIATION of our own music. And that’s where I thought is the ground that I should stand on and in. And not be disturbed nor be perplexed upon the supposedly intricate and delicate and even volatile state of the industry as a whole. I’d rather continue on laying my eyes and ears to myself, to what I’m going to say, what story I’m going to tell, I thought. Whatever the outcome of my relationships. Whatever the political and economic climate of the nation. Whatever the development of technology and social media. Whatever the conditions and circumstances at the surroundings. My mind will know what to say. My mind will know what to do. And I say it in a matter-of-factly manner. Even if I didn’t know, and just by saying that I know would result in knowing, and having an idea or a thing. Than if I didn’t know, and just by saying that indeed I didn’t know, then nothing would result
henceforth, would there? THIS was my answer to the question that following morning. And clearly, there is no more guessing who asked that question in the first place. It was I. Hence, in 2003 I did a solo album ‘Sa Bandang Huli’, in 2012 I did the 4th Yano album ‘Talâ’, and just on September this year, Yano released the 5th album ‘Ya Hindi No’ (which was launched in London, UK). And did music videos in 2013. And made the official website http://yano.ph and was up online in January 2014. It was in doing everything alone that achieved more than what all the conflicts should have resulted in. The decision to think in this way or direction was clearly one that was challenged with ambiguity. Yet now, it appears to be more sound and clearer than all the spontaneous dispositions hurled against this decision at the time, even ‘til now. And there is more to thank for now than the continuation of Yano. It is the fact that many are now standing for and behind what Yano is truly all about. It is about all of us, our simplicity; but more so how we ‘simplify’. It’s about our common yet significant experiences in all the songs that are about ourselves. Yet we stand on and for the ‘Ya’ (yes) perspective. Because simply, that is the only perspective that will enable our oneness with one’s self and enable our progress as individuals, then as family and then as a whole nation. And in any situation, we know rather than not, that it is ‘Ya’. In the next article we’re going to discuss about all the 12 songs in the new Yano album ‘Ya Hindi No’.

Here comes Yuletide a’cheerin AS a secular journalist, I have the responsibility to be politically correct at all times. Thus, I never use the word Christmas. If there’s a corporate party during December, I call it a yearender. Per Church tradition, the Christmas celebration is supposed to start on the first Sunday of Advent. That will be on November 30 this year. So the secular activities between now and November 30 I’ll refer to as Yuletide. Yuletide used to be a solely paganic festival in Europe. When Christianity invaded the continent, they retained some of the popular cultural activities.
That included Yuletide. They then incorporated certain elements of Yuletide to Christmas because both fests are celebrated duing winter season. One of the more Yuletide elements of Christmas is the ham that we eat during Christmas Day. Today, Yuletide is associated more with the commercialism of Christmas and it is where I’m focusing my column on. At exactly the first day of September, shopping malls from all over the country fed their public audio system with Christmas hits. Only lately did I know that this phenomenon is not exclusive to the Philip-

pines alone. Everywhere in America, Christmas decors also start popping up as early as September. This will be pronounced even after Halloween and more so during Black Friday and Thanksgiving Day, which is the run-up to Christmas Day. Here in the Philippines, we have our own All Saints Day and All Souls Day which interrupts the commercialism of malls to fully instill the Christmas spirit. But after All Souls Day, huge Christmas balls start appearing. Decorations are a’plenty hawked. Even prisoners join the foray. (The Misamis Oriental Pro-
vincial Jail comes to mind.) Manila-based companies start their provincial tours and award top-caliber employees, suppliers and partners as early as the second week of November. (I can distinctly recall Globe and GMA Network …hehe!) They do this so they can tour all the major cities just in time to be back to Manila by the third week of December. The Church has its own duty to remind the faithful on what matters most during Christmas – that it is the commemoration of the Savior being born to redeem humanity. Thus four whole weeks of preparation

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - It’s family time! You need to spend some energy on your older relatives -- or at least in digging into your heritage. You are sure to learn something cool if you make the effort. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - You’ve reached a new emotional milestone today -- and you feel incredibly secure as a result! Things should start to add up to something new and wonderful as long as you keep moving. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You need to get thrifty and make sure that your energy is directed toward the right goals. It could be that you just need to rejigger some household expenses, but it could be something big!
CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Your emotional side is powerful -- and right now, it’s fully engaged with whatever problems you’re facing. You may be able to take on some additional challenges if you push yourself! LEO (July 23 – August 22) - It’s past time to try something new -- you’re due for a little shake-up soon! Things may start to get really weird if you stay in this rut, so do whatever it takes to bust out!

are needed to remind the faithful regarding this – those are the Advent days leading up to December 25. But it cannot also be denied that Christmastime is also the time for secular society to gather round and celebrate the year that was and look forward to the year that will come. Whatever your disposition of faith is, it is still a call for thanksgiving – we must be thankful for all the blessings that we have received the past year. And we must look forward for more blessings and awesome persons and things to come in 2015. The whole Yuletide

Special Gospel of the day: Luke12:5459(November12, 2014-Wednesday) Luke 12:54-59-And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into “prison.” I tell thee, thou shall not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite: Jesus criticized the people for being blind to the presence of Jesus in their midst.

Your energy demands fresh contacts, and while you may not always feel like mixing it up, you can tell that today is somehow different.

You’ve got plenty on your plate even if you don’t yet realize it, so try to just stick with the stuff you’ve already got. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Your personal energy is flooding through your mind right now -- so much so that it’s powering up your IQ far above its normal range!
