Two of the most important persons I met in Baguio last weekend

I participated in a BROADCAST JOURNALISM seminar in UP Baguio last July 5 till the next day with 40 Communication students from auf.

Susan Enriquez was one of the best speakers who were there to share their insights and experiences with the students.

Among the best participants who did not run out of questions to ask, was my former professor in UP -- Sir Jimmy Fong. He was my professor in my Broadcast Comm. subjects. I was so glad to be there, no longer as a student, but as an educator, just like Sir Fong.

Except for the signs of aging, nothing's changed with my former professor. Matanong pa rin sya at skeptic. In fact, when he first saw me, he asked me about the credibility of the organizers. He said he hasn't heard of the organizer's name before and he voluntarily told me that UP has nothing to do with the seminar. Ni-rent lang daw ng organizers ang UP audi. Of course, reading between lines, he was skeptic of the organizing committee.

But then, with strong speakers like Susan Enriquez, I was sure that his doubt faded at the end of the seminar.

Anyway, nothing feels better than being in a place that nurtured me when I was alone during college days. I really love Baguio and going back there even for only two days is like reason enough for me to become stronger and more prepared to face all the challenges I am facing in school and even at home. At least, nakapag-relax din kahit ilang saglit lang. Masarap din pala kapag walang computer -- sa hotel -- at least, I had a reason not to check mail or to check my writing account.

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...
