ANG HINDI KO NATUTUNAN SA UP


Marami akong natutunan sa UP noong ako'y nasa kolehiyo pa lamang. Katunayan, doon ko nahubog ang halos kalahati ng aking kasalukuyang pagkatao.

Natuto akong huwag umasa kaninuman, mag-aral nang hindi kailangang mandaya o mangopya, mangatwiran kung kinakailangan, huwag matakot kung may katwiran, magsalita kung may nararamdaman, magtanong kung may kakulangan, magsulat kung mayrong ayaw makinig sa katwiran, at manindigan sa mga pinaniniwalaan.

Ang akala ko, ang pagiging UPian ko ay sapat na para maging masaya at kuntento ako sa kung saan man ako magtatrabaho. Akala ko alam ko na lahat. Hindi pa pala. Ako pala ay mangmang.

Mangmang sa katotohanan na ang totoong mundo ay pinaiikot ng mga taong katulad ng mga tinutukoy ni Karl Marx sa kanyang paglalarawan ng mapanggamit na mundo.

Mangmang sa katotohanan na ang boses ng isa ay kailanman di kayang talunin ang pagkapipi ng karamihan.

Kung babalik ako sa UP, hahanapin ko si Sir Rolly at itatanong ko sa kanya kung bakit di niya ako tinuruang mag-edit ng aking nararamdaman upang madali kong maalis ang negatibong pakiramdam tulad ng galit. Tatanungin ko rin si Sir Fong kung bakit di niya ako naturuang mag-prodyus ng mapagkunwaring video na makakatulong upang itago ang aking nararamdaman. Kahit si Ma'am Janet na nagbigay sa akin ng uno sa Kasaysayan, tatanungin ko rin. Bakit ba di niya ako nasabihan na ang saysay ng isang tao ay nag-iiba, depende sa pananaw ng tumitingin?

Pakiramdam ko, wala akong saysay, wala akong kakayahang mag-edit ng nararamdaman at wala akong kaalaman sa pagkukunwari.

Walang kinalaman dito ang pagtatapos ko sa UP. Alam ko, marami pa akong dapat matutunan sa tunay na buhay na siyang totoong paaralan na maghahatid ng tunay ng kaalaman at karanasan.

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...
