Baguio Photo Diaries

These photos were taken by Kevin (Kim, Dong-wook) when we were in Baguio City. We went to UP Baguio (my alma mater), Mines View Park, Burnham Park, Convention Center and of course at SM. I really had nice time with Charles and Kevin on April 2.

SM Baguio looks so nice here... It's a grand mall in the mountain province :-)

I didn't know Charles took this photo. We were at Mines View Park here. Kevin is on the background looking at the camera :-)

This is OBLE's rear view -- ha-ha-ha!

Kevin and Charles wore the native costume of the Igorot for picture taking. They paid P10.00 each for wearing such. (lol)

I was looking at the view at Mines View Park.

Another candid photo?

OBLE in another angle :-)

"When you gotta go, you gotta go..."

Background Sometime in July, Jobstreet.com sent me list of job vacancies which are aligned with my degree and experiences. Well, I have been subscribing to Jobstreet for years and I already have tried applying to some companies in the past, but for some reasons, I didn't get any response. For some, I got replies and even had interview but I didn't have the courage to leave my full-time teaching job. So that day, while checking on the list, I saw an interesting position, social media research analyst. When I read the qualifications and job description, I told myself, "Wow, this must be an interesting job. Something I love doing, and no doubt, I'm qualified. I can do this." So, because I was fascinated with the job description and qualifications, I updated my CV and attached it to an e-mail, then sent to the address given. I can still remember, after clicking on the "send" button, I whispered to myself, "I hope I'll get it." But da...

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...
