The Interview

This morning was the interview for the Search for Model Faculty of the Year.

The members of the panel include Dr. Archimedes David, VP for Academic Affairs, Dr. Nicanor Austriaco, former VP for AA, and Ms Lorie Canlas, VP for Finance.

Well, what can I say?

I actually enjoyed the interview but there's a doubt somewhere in my mind, that it was a good shot.

I'm competing against two doctors. One with Ph. D. degree and one a real doctor who teaches at the School of Medicine.

Then Ma'am Lorie kept telling me to finish my Ph. D. degree. I have no idea what it meant, or if it has meaning at all.

Among the things that they asked was how my research, Charles' thesis, I mean, contributed to my growth and to the improvement of my teaching. I already forgot my answer... ha ha.
She asked me how I return to AUF community the benefits that I get from attending the seminars. I gave her three answers, and I thought she was satisfied with my answers.

Sir Archie didn't ask much. But when he asked questions, it was quite difficult to answer. Idk why...

-------------------------------------------------

It made me quite disappointed because they didn't review my documents. They just saw my documents that morning. I exerted so much effort in sorting out all the documents then it turned out, they did not review them carefully. I felt like they'd just be giving us scores based on the interview. But they didn't ask about all those in criteria. For example, though I have books published, they didn't ask about it. I also forgot to tell them about my being a trainer in the five-day grammar school. The point is, they might have missed an item because they didn't carefully review the documents.

They didn't even bother to read about my Purple Story. Ha-ha. I put in a lot of effort thinking about and doing that, then they won't bother reading naman pala. Sayang. I think they should have reviewed the documents thoroughly before they interview contestants.

-----------------------------------------------

Honestly, this search is important to me.

I'm not hypocrite. I really want to get this. It's among my personal goals this year.

Then, mahihiya ako kay Ma'am Malay if I still don't get this. It's my second time to join. Tapos, nakakahiya rin kay Sir Archie cause I know that he knows how much I want to get this.

I am still hopeful but I don't know.

I shall keep my fingers crossed...

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...
