Pwede bang tanungin ang sarili?


Subukan ko nga...

1. Fist choice of course in UP:
AB Mass Communication-Journalism at UP Baguio
2. Second choice:
BS Psychology at UP Diliman
3. Third choice:
Wala.
4. Saan natapos:
UP Baguio, kulit!
5. Bakit sa Baguio?
Ang totoo, hindi pa ako nakarating sa Baguio noon kaya pinili ko yun. Malay ko bang papasa ako...
6. Ilan kaming pumasa mula sa Araneta University :
Sa batch namin, tatlo lang ang naging UPian
7. Nag-aral ba ako sa UP Diliman?
Oo, isang summer lang. Nakipag-away pa nga yung grupo namin sa pila noong enrollment. Ang dami kasing taga UP Dil na sumisingit sa pila :-(
8. Sinong da best professors?
Sir Jimmy Fong, Sir Rolly Fernandez (kahit mababa magbigay ng grades), Ma'am Mendigo at Ma'am Rodriguez
9. Bakit sila ang DA BEST?
Si Sir Fong, every sem yata teacher namin. Super sarcastic but very professional. Si Sir Rolly? Ahmmm... ang suki namin sa pagbibigay ng 2.75 at 2.5. HIghest ko sa kanya was 1.5 lang. MInsan lang nangyari. Talagang "dinudugo" ang papel ko kay Sir Rolly. He loved his red pen very much. Pinakamahilig siya sa pagko-comment sa mga papel namin. Di lang yun. Sobrang dami ng requirements sa kanya -- three to five papers a week plus punta kung saan-saan to cover news: Ad Congress, Phil Military Academy, press conference ni former president FVR, press conference ni Bongbong Marcos, etc. IBA si Sir Rolly! Si Ma'am Mendigo naman-- she used to call herself "Donita Rose." She said she liked the Filipino actress/VJ with that name. Mataas grades ko kay Ma'am Mendigo sa Advanced College Writing class. Kaya lang, ang hirap kitain ng grades sa kanya! Konti na lang, siya na ang female counterpart ni Sir Rolly. Si Ma'am Jane Rodriguez -- twice ko siya naging professor. At sa kanya lang ako nakakuha ng UNO! Ang subject: Kasaysayan. Sa UP Baguio kasi, may sikat na kasabihan: ONLY GOD DESERVES ONE! Madalang ang nagbibigay ng flat one na grade.
10. FAvorite canteen ko?
Lower canteen. Di ako mahilig kumain sa upper canteen kasi tambayan ng mga org at frat members.
11. Unforgettable experience ko sa UP?
Marami ako neto pero ang pinakanakaka-shock ay nung nag-sign-up ako sa isang invitation nang di ko alam kung ano. It turned out imbitasyon pala yun para sumama sa isang roundtable conference sa PMA. Nasa transpo service na ako nung nalaman ko. Gusto kong mag-backout kasi lahat pala ng nag-sign-up ay magbibigay ng short speech about social issues sa harap ng mga PMAers at mga general dun. Muntik na akong mahimatay sa kaba dahil wala akong alam. Pero siyempre, MassComm yata ako kaya, I survived! I even earned the warm CONGRATULATIONS of one of the generals na nandun. Pati mga PMAers bilib din. Akala nila prepared ako. Di lang nila alam na gusto ko nang umuwi nung makita ko ang napakaraming kalbong kadete na makikinig sa amin.
12. Member ba ako ng sorority?
No. Never. Maraming nanghihila para pumasok ako sa APO pero hindi ko kaya. Nakita ko kasi yung hita ng dormmate ko na noon ay katatapos lang ma-initiate. Kulay green na may violet ang legs niya. Parang mapa ng mga ilog na may maraming lumot. OMG! Hindi ko kaya magpapalo ng kahoy sa mga taong di ko naman kilala.
13. Frustration ko sa UP?
Akala ko makakahabol ako sa pagka-cum laude. HIndi pala kasi may isa akong INC. Sa PE yun (tennis). Di kasi ako nagpapasok dahil ang lamig sa Baguio sa umaga -- ang sarap matulog!
14. Favorite tambayan?
Di ako mahilig tumambay. Deretso uwi ako sa dorm or sa boarding house. (Totoo 'to ha -- ask n'yo man sina Bene, Ate Che, Imee, Hazel, Phyrra at Ethel --- silang closest dormmates ko)
15. Yosi, inom, Sabado nights, night life?
I tried but never liked them, esp. yosi and inom. Night life -- only when there is an occasion tulad ng birthday ni Imee (Hi Imee!).
16. Org ko sa UP?
PLUMA (Progresibong Lupon ng mga Mamamahayag), KIKO (Kilusang Ikauunlad ng mga Kabataan ni Oble), UP Corps Sponsor (counterpart of UP Vanguard)
17. Pinakamadalas kong puntahan noon?
Sa telephone booth. May dala-dala akong napakaraming coins. Di pa sikat ang cell phone noon. Nag-iipon ako ng coins at pumipila lagi sa phone booth para tawagan ang boyfriend kong nasa Manila. Dahil sa tiyaga ko tumawag, asawa ko na siya ngayon! :-) (Hello Han!)
18. Paboritong partido ko kapag eleksyon ng USC?
KM!

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
