Blessings from the One

When blessings pour, they come without a person even noticing them.

I must be lucky these days. When I knew I will soon have a baby [my third :-) ], I also found out that I was promoted to being the Chair of the Mass Com department. The following day, I was told by my Dean that I was appointed by the Chancellor as the Assistant Director for the Institute for Communication Arts.

Few days after, I got many words of recognition for my daughter's great performance during the play CATS at AUF. Of course, I have to agree that my daughter did great. In fact, even the Director - General told me that he liked the way Steffi performed onstage. He said that he found the right girl to portray ANNIE in the next play he might produce. The choreographer also told Mr. Mabesa that "Steffi perfectly fits his standards." He said that Steffi was able to do exactly as he wanted the actors to do in the play. Even the University chancellor and his spouse approached Steffi after the last play to congratulate her :-)

At the back of my mind, I was thinking that Steffi must have developed her personality and her talent/skills in such kind of performance when she joined and won LMP four years ago. But even at a young age of 3, Steffi's being a bright girl was already obvious.

Anyway, I'm sure these are all blessings from the One who created us.

I couldn't be less thankful.

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl...

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o...

My SHAIYA battle for a week

A duo with -kamikaze- MMORPG. Online games. Virtual world. SHAIYA. The past holy week signaled the beginning and end of my battle in the virtual world. I started playing an MMORPG for a week -- trying to level up my character named SexySteffi in an online game known to players as SHAIYA . It wasn't as sophisticated as Wow but most things are basically the same. The best parts would be killing monsters to level up and killing darkies to get higher ranks. Another good thing about online games like SHAIYA is the opportunity to talk to people or gamers from different parts of the world. I've met gamers from Columbia, Chile, Texas, Australia, Canada, etc. Gamers really come from different walks of life. Some are young, some old, some married, some single, some just fooling around, some serious about leveling up. As a priest, SexySteffi is in demand in the game :-) Some players would always invite her to a party so that they could conquer the monsters without getting killed a...
