Happy One-Week Anniversary of my Doc Grad !
This is where I reminisce about GOD’s plan .
When I thought that things were going wrong just because they didn’t go my way, it turned out that everything fell into place perfectly:
My Intent
What Went Wrong
GOD’s Perfect Plan
To wear my medal at my public dissertation defense and graduation
I couldn’t find it where I thought that I stored it … or anywhere else
Bishop Mike Pope Francis rosary
To have my professors sign my dissertation with our dissertation signature pen
I misplaced it from the special spot where I set it aside for the past few years
Brought the “I Thank GOD for You” pen that Sister Jyothi gave us Religious Education teachers
To film my public dissertation defense with the tripod from Bestie Evie
Despite deleting Fast and Furious iPhone 6 plus , I still ran out of storage space as I presented results for my 15th out of 17 null hypothesis
Lessons learned: don’t consume too much memory on my devices or include so many variables in my research – but at least I recorded the majority
To walk across the stage without falling flat on my face – while wearing my cowboy boots instead of stilettos (like my high heels at my previous graduations)
I faced my school President while my dissertation chair hooded me instead of the crowd like the rest of the doctoral candidates
Bestie Evie
To reserve the restaurant for my luncheon 3h after my graduation start time
Car accident on the major incident delayed our graduation procession, and major traffic jam getting out of parking lot delayed my reception
Time to catch up with my dad’s fellow Filipino Catholic USAF buddy with whom he was stationed in Germany and his wife (so we didn’t join impatient drivers and passengers) – shared stories
Thanks: GOD, my parents, my bestie Evie & her family, Drs. D & C-B, my colleagues + Team Dr. D for sticking w/me through my PhD journey!

Two-Day Game Warning: Almost the End of Regulation !
As I approach my Big Day (Public Dissertation Defense ) to complete my Doctor of Philosophy , my journey toward this ultimate goal may be drawing to a close while my next one toward my career advancement will begin.
However, my Ph.D. pursuit has helped me grow, not just professionally , but also personally , and most of all: spiritually . Furthermore, this undertaking couldn’t have been accomplished single-handedly: GOD’s grace provided, JESUS’ example was all-sided, and the HOLY SPIRIT’s light guided, in addition to Team Dr. D, who had my back. I forever will be grateful to the †Heavenly HOLY TRINITY† and my positive supporters here on Earth , who’ve rooted me on all the way , leading up to this Tuesday, December 8 ~ save-the-date
My next anticipated title this Advent : Tita Elaine .
We expect my future niece or nephew to arrive around CHRISTmas time ~ the very 1st grandchild of my parents , who recently celebrated their ♥wedding♥ anniversary . Yes, my family is very blessed . Regardless of these joyous times, I pray that we’ll always turn to the LORD , as we lead our lives here while preparing our eternal home in Heaven .
Sending peace and goodwill to San Bernadino, CA, in the wake of this terrorist tragedy. ✌

After I passed my presentation with full faculty on Veterans’ Day , I followed my Bestie Evie
Take a Me QT Day.
While I still worked on revising my paper , I also set aside Spa Time this past weekend!
Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force ‘s The Glam Guide acne and **dark spots :
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:
and polished my finger nails with my own lacquers:
O•P•I Got the Blues for Red & Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener + Revlon Orchid & Silver Screen + Sally Hansen i ♥ Nail Art Striper in black
My top tip to achieving a lasting nail paint job:
Run freshly coated nails in cold water and dodge hot water!
Cold water seals in moisture, while hot water repels and drys it out
If I hand wash dishes, I wear special gloves
I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!

We can’t go wrong with positive reinforcement …

Lately, rewarding myself helps ease the toughness of a rigorous project !

While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance
Stretch
Relieve those muscles computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

Happy National Dessert Day!
My peers who’ve preceded me in finishing their doctor of philosophy degrees can agree:
Cleaner and clearer are better.
That means: clean desks and clear minds …
Plus clean PowerPoint s to clear our minds !
Two of my esteemed classmates who graduated a few years ago and whose guidance I sought for my paper and slideshow both explicitly pointed out that I most certainly must cut back
Down to 120-140 slides, no more than 150!
As the ☼summer☼ drew to a close ~ during my most recent hurdle (that lasted four months as we entered fall term ), my statistics ~ I already reached 300+ slides and reached 300+ pages of my dissertation
Yet that’s way too many to fit into a two-hour presentation (including professors ‘ Q&A) ~ so I’ve reduced down to almost ½ so far!
This slide: an indicator that I measured a TON of stats ! I ended up taking out 50+ slides last night … Shooting to eliminate more. Next issue: making sure that the fewer slides that I look less cluttered
Just as I’ve had to minimize my clutter-bug and shutter-bug ways, I’m also de-cluttering / cleaning and clearing up my PowerPoint
That way, I can advance into the next round !

Happy Columbus Day!
As I prepare for my committee defense , I’m connecting and comparing my upcoming dissertation presentations to playoffs for post-season sports :
First Series: Committee Defense (for my team of 3 professors) — 2 Rounds anticipatedSecond Series: Faculty Defense (for my entire conference of professors) — 2-3+ Rounds anticipatedThird and Final Champion shipPublic Dissertation Defense Doctor and everybody) — last Round, a.k.a. the Final Reveal well-anticipated graduation
So, who is my competition, you ask?
I could say my faculty of professors, but they’re on my side to succeed, so I’ll have to go with myself on my level of resilience to determine whether I stay and sustain through the game: Yours Truly vs. Yours Truly
I got this! Bring on the determination and confidence fear and dis couragement
Also, my good family friend, fellow devout Catholic, my ♥Tita Lydia♥ pointed out to me this:
