Happy Big Day to yours truly!
The time has arrived: I’m defending my dissertation this afternoon after my anticipated blessing from Bishop Mike
While it’s still surreal until I actually achieve this vision , I’ve planned everything in advance down to the details of my appearance …
After all: fail to plan, plan to fail ~ to no avail!
That way, my smile will glow, and the coffee stains won’t show ! =D

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. ✌

A dvice / A necdotes (like the A lliterationFall TV
Grey’s Anatomy Dr. Meredith Grey (center), here with her ½-sister from her late mom, Dr. Ellis Grey’s side, Dr. Margaret Pierce , a.k.a. “Maggie” (to her right/viewer’s left) & sister-in-law from her late husband, Dr. Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. “McDreamy ‘s” side, Dr. Amelia Shepherd (to her left/viewer’s right) after they demolished a wall ~ as my doc friend –turned published author #HomeReno #DISPObustAFlow Rando Info: Doesn’t the actress who plays Maggie look like the Special K commercial chick in lumberjack (red and black ) plaid on a bus? | Courtesy ABC
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 ! –^
Side chart note: Without McDreamy and McSteamy in the mix at Seattle Grace (now Grey-Sloan ~ bad-to-the-bone), it’s “Attending Poser” / *NEW* *HOT* Intern who I’ll chase [not really — just making time to rhyme as always all days]! #DISPObustAFlow

All Day I Dream💭 About SOCCER⚽️
World Cup Champs! 🏆
After all, how’d I land my muscular legs ?
Actually, although folks have pointed out how I could pass as a kicker, I didn’t play fútbol, but I’ve surrounded myself with many fellows who 💕💞💓💗💖💝love💟❤️💛💚💙💜 the game, including
F is for … F lashback F riday
Don’t use this peak 🌅summer🌻 😅heat💥 as an excuse not to kick around the ball. You may have an indoor field ~ just like the one in the city where I’m pursuing my PhD which is happens to be run by someone from my hometown (how’s that for a small 🌍world?)!
FYI: All Day I Dream About 💡Scholarship🏤 …
And I’m taking those steps👣 to follow through toward scoring my goal!
Just like in soccer!

Two months ago …
Tito Regie (visiting from the PI🌴): When’s the BiG day ?
Yours truly : 🙏GOD-willing, December 2015 !
Uncle Reg meant when I’d become Mrs. So & So , & I meant when I’d become Dr. Dispo ! 💒💍🏤
#DISPObustAFlow #DISPOsAlwaysFly #NotLookingForAGuy #PhD #DrD #TeamDrD #DrDispo #TeamDrDispo
Just like many brides👰🏽 may 👣step👟 up their 🏈A-game🏀 to get wedding -ready, I as a 🎓Ph.D. candidate am doing everything in my power that backs up my dissertation , up until the day of my full defense:
First of all, I’ve been wearing my class ring on my left hand since I received it after my candidacy (compare engagement/popping-the-question to comprehensive exams/answering-the-questions )
Waking up every morning with it on my mind and tuning those thoughts into actions that support it (contacting folks [like in wedding planning], writing [like in marriage vows])Posting affirmations to remind me of my goal everyday, including this gorgeous reminder ~ inspired by TIU ‘s K&K👙 in FFF📖 dashboard )
YES, I made it up: PhD for Pretty HOT Driver ~ what can I say? This. Is. LEGIT. #fuego
Keeping my defense dress👗 hung up in plain view ~ so I can see it and envision myself presenting🎤 my paper📜 (I’ll also have a dress👔 rehearsal/run-through to practice while wearing it ahead of time)
Exercising both my body and my brain for the physical and mental fitness to endure and persevere
Hitting the sack one night closer from turning this 🌈dream💭 into a reality🏆
Last, but certainly not least and actually the most important :
Always PRAY .

Lately, I’ve been in conference calls with doctoral graduates for tips on getting on the grind and finishing our respective terminal degrees . Here are some of the paraphrased pieces of profound advice that they imparted to this candidate, yours truly, as I push through my dissertation :
Dr. Alex
You’ll graduate in †GOD† ‘s time
If †GOD† led you this far, He won’t leave you at this point.
Dr. Díaz
It takes ♥love♥ and commitment because it is a labor of ♥love♥ .
Treat your dissertation as your job by putting in your hours and ♥love♥ what you do.
*Also, my aforementioned colleague — with whom I used to teach in South Texas who always has been a brilliant mastermind and now has his book on the way (about the border, around the corner) — who is a fellow, active Catholic, who pointed out that we all have our †cross † to bear , established this group for St. Joseph the Worker
… to whom he would pray everyday before writing his dissertation.
Dr. Toya
Treat your dissertation as your final project : the last assignment that you need to graduate.
Write an affirmation …
… and place it on your bathroom mirror…
… or refrigerator.
I also posted it on my desk!
I’m ♥ lovin’♥ it
Constant reminders may be just the key to my Ph.D. Dr. D Coffeebeats teeth )!
