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. ✌

Double D is for …
D issertation D efenseD r. D ispoBiG D ay : D ecember 8 ~ Save the D ate!
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!

Grey’s Anatomy Leadership
Be worthy of being believed in , of being looked up to .
~ Dr. Edwards to “the other” Dr. Shepherd * (Feb. 26, 2015)
You have to lead .
~ Dr. Harmon to “the other” Dr. Shepherd * (Feb. 26, 2015)
Being a leader isn’t about whether they’ll listen to you, it’s whether they believe in you.
~ former Chief Dr. Richard Webber to new Chief Dr. Miranda Bailey (Oct. 1, 2015)
I call this GA 360 because this is relevant to followers and leaders alike:
Confidence
“There’s a scientific study that shows that if you stand in superhero pose for just five minutes before a job interview or a big presentation or a really hard task, you will not only feel confident , but you will perform measurably better.
~ *Dr. Amelia Shepherd to Dr. Edwards on Grey’s March 5 , 2015 )
From Big Bang Theory
Dr. Leonard : “I’m a little nervous” (about approaching George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch ).
Dr. Sheldon Cooper Confidence is key in these situations.”
Empathy
It’s an evolutionary advantage to be included in things.” [as I teach about affection being a basic interpersonal/social need]
~ Dr. Amy [played by real-life Ph.D. and the Blossom star from 2½ decades ago] about feeling left out to empathize with bf Sheldon
Alliteration and Assonance
You are the K ing K ong of P ing P ong . You are the Menace of Table Tennis … You said you played Bad minton ? More like Sad minton !
~ Dr. Howard to Dr. Raj
Progress
You know why you’re acting this way? You’re so close! I’ve been there … When you’re about to make a breakthrough . Keep going. Don’t stop.
~ Dr. Derek Shepherd Dr. Caliet (wannabe mistress) on GA
^– I most certainly must heed this as I approach my finish line ! –^

During this week’s conference call with my dissertation chair , she called me
conscientious .
I not only accepted this ~ to ♥heart♥ and absolutely at face value ~ as the best compliment from her (when we were discussing the running and re-running of my statistics for my research results ) but also am ensuring that I live up to this standard .
When my cohort members and I were admitted into our doctoral program , conscientiousness * happened to be one of the personality traits for which we tested and that we studied in our leadership theories literature. It comes from the (1b) Big Five OCEAN ” acronym:
O penness (or O riginality)*C onscientiousness (or C onsolidation)
E xtroverion ~ I’ve also consistently tested high for this in the (2) Myers-Briggs ENFJ for E xtraversion • In tuition • F eeling • J udging) both when I took it as a psych minor for my undergrad and again in doc school A greeableness (or A ccommodation)N euroticism (or Emotional In stability) ~ the reverse of this attribute as leaders and doc students is ideal to deal
According to the (1a) instrument provided by my doctoral degree program , someone who is conscientious is “achievement”-oriented and “self-disciplined” ~ so this implies that conscientiousness involves intentions (definitely something for which I strive ).
Currently, my conscientiousness has stuck with me through school ~ as both a scholar educator
This past week, I taught my students about literary terms , so I tied them into ♪music♫ and pop culture:
Asyndeton ♫George Strait ♪The Chair♪
VIDEO
Irony ♫Alanis Morissette ‘s ♪Ironic♪
VIDEO
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Jeremy Lin How to Fit in the NBA
VIDEO
Personification plus Alliteration and Assonance Funny Face Audrey Hepburn
If it (Quality magazine) won’t speak to me, it won’t speak to them.

B anish the B lack * B urn the B lue * B ury the B eige
Think pink * Red is ead * Blue is through * Green ‘s obscene * Brown’s too boo
Now I know that my advisor wasn’t trying to flatter me, but her acknowledgment meant encouragement of the ♥heart .
I challenge you fellow servants and leaders to consider which personality traits that you have in order to enhance your strengths and improve from your weaknesses!

After I helped lead my †Church† in prayer at Vigil Mass, Fr. Bob Pastor , greeted me as “Soon-to-be Dr. Dispo ” ~ to which I replied, “GOD-willing ,” and “to glorify GOD .”
