Sayang kaya?

Ilang araw na lang, start na ng Study Tour sa Singapore. I was supposed to attend the tour kaso nagkaproblema ako sa documents para sa passport. Sayang pero buti na lang dahil sa invitation for a tour in Singapore, nalaman ko na may problema pala documents ko --- or may problema pala ang sistema sa DFA Clark. Imposible at matagal na proseso ang pinagagawa nila sa akin para maaprubahan ang passport application ko.
Sa tingin ko, insulto sa akin na ipabago ang entries sa birth certificate ko ngayong trenta anyos na ako. Hindi typographical error ang problema ko. At alam ng DFA na wala akong kontrol sa kung anuman ang mali sa documents ko. Ang tingin ko lang, ang trabaho ng DFA ay i-examine ang mga dokumento na pinakikita ng aplikante para patunayan na sarili niya ang iniaaplay niya ng passport at hindi siya gumagamit ng pangalan ng may pangalan. May iba pang paraan para sagutin ko ang tanong nila tungkol sa nakita nilang inconsistency ng pangalan or apelyido ng nanay ko sa birth certificate at sa marriage certificate ko. Bakit hindi nila maintindihan na nag-asawa uli ang nanay ko at nang ikasal ako, ang apelyido niya sa stepfather ko ang legal name niya? Bakit kailangan ko pang papalitan ang entry sa birth certificate para mag-tally ang dalawa? Napaka-istupidong suhestiyon yata na baguhin ko ang birth certificate. Hindi simple lang yun. Maaapektuhan lahat ng mga nangyari sa pangalan ko sa buong 30 years na nag-exist ako dito sa Pilipinas na may gobyernong walang kwenta.
Dahil sa kung anu-anong pinagagawa ng DFA sa akin, nagbasa na rin ako ng napakaraming articles at related cases. Hindi kasama sa RA 9048 ang correction na pinagagawa nila sa akin. Pero protektado ako ng RA 9255. Magulo talaga. What's the point of making myself appear as illegitimate (RA 9048) kung may batas naman na pwede akong maging legitimate (RA 9255)? Paikot-ikot lang ang argumento dito. Nakakasawang i-discuss.
Isa lang masasabi ko. Ito marahil ang dahilan kung bakit noong una pa lang ay hindi ko ma-imagine ang sarili ko na pupunta sa Singapore for the tour. Hindi pala para sa akin ang opportunity na iyon.
Okey lang. Sigurado naman ako na maaayos din ito at mayroon pang mas magandang opportunity na darating.

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...

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...

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...
