♪Happy ☼Birthday☼♫ to my Dad today!
Go, *Dallas Cowboys* this NFL ☼Sunday!
Just like any fortunate child who has grown up with a father or paternal figure, I feel extremely †blessed† and grateful to still have mine as a constant part of my life.
Papa Jun is one of the most well-rounded people who I know and admire:
Even as an adult, I still keep learning from my Dad, who always enlightens me everyday, through his example and his wisdom as a prayerful soon-to-be first-time grandfather with whom I attended Church today. Cheers, Pops!
Maligayang Bati, Papa Jun, at ♥Mahal♥ Kita!

Advice / Anecdotes (like the Alliteration?) from Fall TV
Grey’s Anatomy revolves around 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 says, we “build out of bricks,” so here these 3 are, starting over from scratch. #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 on 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 {next three examples}
Dr. Leonard: “I’m a little nervous” (about approaching George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch).
Dr. Sheldon Cooper: “Get over it. 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 King Kong of Ping Pong. You are the Menace of Table Tennis … You said you played Badminton? More like Sadminton!
~ 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 to Dr. Caliet (wannabe mistress) on GA (March 26, 2015)
^– 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

The time is here!!!
As the Golden State Warriors of the West one-upped the Cleveland Cavaliers of the East to lead the 2015 NBA title series, I also reached achievement to feel victorious:
I landed at a happy medium for my Ph.D. participant total for my survey sample!
Come a long way … Still more to go! #DISPObustAFlow
One step closer toward World Champions status for these ballers, one step closer toward dissertation defense for yours truly!
While this may not be the most exciting news for the entire world, what it means to me is that
I now can run my stats STAT #DrDISPObustAFlow

Exactly eight months after I started collecting data (despite the slow start, it’s really about how I execute and complete), I’ve now entered this well-anticipated phase …

Yesterday, my student who I tutor and I went shopping for plants!
I want to emphasize to my pupil and all of my students the importance of maximizing their full potential.
These are the flowers that he picked out!
Hibiscus in the (green)house!
We need this vegetation for his science project …
Hibiscus Red for ♪♫Pop♫♪
… Which is to determine the effect of ♫♪music♪♫ on plant growth!
Hibiscus Mandarin for ♪♫Hip Hop♫♪
He picked the hibiscus because they’re barely growing, so they have yet to bloom and blossom, plus their petals will look beautiful in hair!
Hibiscus ☼Sunny☼ sans ♪♫jams♫♪
