Story Bits

1. Wicked Web just closed last month. Everything happened so fast. My aunt felt bad about spending so much and not earning from Dennis' management of the Internet Cafe. The computers were now sold. Beth expects a goodwill of P300,000 or more since Vien didn't finish the 7-year contract. Wicked Web existed only for about 18 months. Well... that's destiny-- it's life.

2. ISPEL SEX and KITIL, the documentary productions of my ABMC students batch 2006, won in the National Filmmaking Contest sponsored by Pro-Life and National Commission for Culture and the Arts. We attended the awarding ceremony at St. Paul University in Quezon City on June 30.

3. I didn't enroll this trimester. I want to focus on finishing the MOdule ENGLISH WITH NEWSPAPER which I am doing with Sir Umaly. (I want to finish it this sem!)

4. Another reason for not enrolling: I got tired of professors who don't really care. They just get our class cards, give us research works, give us INC mark when we fail to submit on time, then end of trimester na! I think I need motivation and more reasons to finish my Ph. D. degree. (So help me God!)

5. One thing I miss about graduate school: I miss my Philosophy class, not my classmates, to be exact. I miss my two-time Philosophy professor, definitely. I think Sir Archie is the only sensible and credible professor in the Graduate School here at AUF. He regularly holds classes, he sharpens our minds with so many writing tasks, he asks questions during reporting and most importantly, he never fails to talk about the beauty and reality of life in and outside AUF. He is definitely the only reason why I still want to enroll next trimester. (that is, if I am done with the module)

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

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

An Open Letter to my Daughter as She Goes Off to College

Dear Stef, I know you’re excited to go to college, meet new friends, and embrace a more fast-paced life in Manila. I’m also excited for you! I know that the physical distance between us will only make you become stronger and more prepared to face the real world once you’ve finished college. I want you to be fully equipped and well-prepared when that time comes. I’m confident you won’t have problems being on your own. As you know, I’ve been there – was then studying in Manila, away from my parent, since I was in high school, kaya pagdating ng college sa Baguio, halos end of semester na lang ako umuuwi. At least ngayon, meron nang FB, Twitter, Skype and ‘unli text and call’, so keeping in touch is no longer an issue. Pero siyempre, iba pa rin kapag we don’t see you every day para kumustahin ang araw mo. . . Well, malapit lang naman ang Manila from Angeles, and madali ka lang puntahan, or madali ka lang makauwi, but it’s still very different from what I’ve been used to. Ngayon, without y
