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 blessed me before my dissertation defense and gave me the 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 from my 128GB 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 pointed out that she noticed how I did the sign of the cross before I walked across the stage – which showed that I put GOD first
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!

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 !

Who would’ve thought that the advice offered by Belinda Selene in this month’s Seventeen magazine would actually help yours truly (who’s double the title age)?
Indeed, this tip is relevant to ~ not only social media trendsetters with followers, but also ~ anyone who has an audience ~ in particular:
Apparently, Jessica Alba must be extremely influential with her following ~ she’s now branded produce ! | Courtesy Seventeen magazine, October 2015
Bottom Line: Public Speaking revolves around our Audience , just as Writing revolves around our Readers !

A dvice / A necdotes (like the A lliteration ?) 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 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 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

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 psychometric assessment that uses the “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 (as an 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 and an educator !
This past week, I taught my students about literary terms , so I tied them into ♪music♫ and pop culture:
Asyndeton in ♫George Strait ‘s ♪The Chair♪
VIDEO
Irony in ♫Alanis Morissette ‘s ♪Ironic♪
VIDEO
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Jeremy Lin ‘s How to Fit in the NBA
VIDEO
Personification plus Alliteration and Assonance in Funny Face that featured Audrey Hepburn !
If it (Quality magazine) won’t speak to me, it won’t speak to them.
~ Ms. Prescott, Editor-in-Chief

D own * D reary * D ull * D epressing * D ismal and * D eadly
B anish the B lack * B urn the B lue * B ury the B eige
Think pink * Red is dead * 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 , our Pastor , greeted me as “Soon-to-be Dr. Dispo ” ~ to which I replied, “GOD-willing ,” and “to glorify GOD .”
