A Letter from a Student

I was so hopeless at the time I'm about to step in my third year of being a MASS COMMUNICATION student.

Honestly no money for school expenses though I'm a 100% scholar of the school, I still need to pay miscellaneous fees and other lab fees. I've got a lot of problems about family matter, social life, time management, schooling, and spiritually.

I applied in every part-time jobs with vacancies, but still failed. I entered the business world, I sell almost everything; bags, make-ups, perfumes, dresses, candies, beauty products, slimming products, slippers, watches, belts, accessories,etc.- and again failed.

I'm really terrified, I don't know what to do or where to go. Until I visited my teacher's office.
My teacher since first year up to present. She's so intelligent and when the first day I saw and met her I already admired her. And wished to be as good as her. I've learned a lot from her, not only with the lessons she's putting in our heads but with the tremendous experiences she's sharing to us.

Do u know what happen next? I entered her room to make her sign the dropping forms I'm handling at that moment. And we ask how's each other and I told her about what am I feeling, what am I experiencing and why dropping some subjects. This teacher gave me hope and told me to pursue my studies even though the situation get harder and harder. She said that someday I'll be successful because she believes in me. I don't know If the teacher still recall this experience with her, but that's not important.

Now, this teacher had a severe depression and got to leave her classes for a while. She's the most responsible professor I ever had. Her teaching profession is her passion. "Siguro kahit siya nalang ang teacher ko ng 8 subjects ay gaganahin parin akong pumasok!" I really missed her a lot. She's one of my inspiration.

Forever na mamahalin ko ang espesyal kong guro na nagbigay pag-asa sa'akin. Ma'am Virgie ikaw lang walang iba. Nais ko lamang pong magpasalamat sa lahat. Palagi ko po kayong pagdarasal. Sana po bumalik na kayo.

Miss na miss ka na po namin.

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
