between fun and anger.


Just got the first season done for the TV series Chuck.
Yeah, it’s quite skimpy I need some more episodes! Give me some!
Damn it. I feel like I’m thirsty.
Man, this night sucks! So boring! I feel like I am sick.
Nothing to do, nothing to waste time with.
I am feeling sarcastic just to have a little more productive time.
Hope so.
Just remember that Xmas is coming and yet I feel so gross.
I lost my mp3 player. Damn. How I missed those head banging tunes from cheese, ratm, incubus, sevendust and others.
How I hate to remember that day being drank loosing a very memorable thing.
Shit. How I hope I had my time machine. Warp at the time when I last seen my player and had a tight grasp on it. How misfortune turned on me.
Hmmm. So long. My head is aching remembering that player.

REDEMPTION


Yesterday is a very emotional day.
Pounding heart bit waiting for results.
Tears on every eyes for they passed and for those who failed.
I am glad that I am one of those who passed the course.
All the time wasted for doing case study has paid off.
All the efforts we sweated out are not wasted.
WOW. How gratifying that I had made it and redeemed myself for starting out weak in the course.
Thank you SIR, for feeding and nourishing me the things I need to surpass this course. Thank you for your unselfishness in motivating and pushing us to be better. Thank you for crafting us to be the hope of our country leading a brighter future.

Conclusion.


Last Saturday. A day of trauma.
Thinking what actions must be done first.
Don’t know what things to prioritize.
SPM or INFO SYS ?!? Who the hell know!


Just one thing I had in mind. Will I pass this last quiz? And surprisingly I had made it at last. Just got the result of the quiz earlier this day. Luck turned this time. But still I fail to do it from start. How I hoped I had made it since the start of the term. But still now I had realized that the mind I had is capable of surviving the course. If I was not that stubborn and irresponsible maybe I had a better chance of surviving this course. An ease to feel that I surpassed the triumphs and able to stand on my own feet. But now I had to exert more effort, sweat out till i bleed my best to strike the passing mark and pass this course.

I may fail but my hopes aren’t dead. I am not deaf to relax. I am not blind to resist. I know I can and yes I can do. I’ll stand every time I fall, endure the pain till I get numb, bleed till I can and crawl to reach the peak.

the final run.


Last Thursday was our last stand to redeem our selves and prove that we could perform a great presentation for the last case we had entitled Moses at the Red Sea. Our group composed of me, estong ,nel and jay was the first presenter that day. We had discussed the relation ship of the eight concepts of executing strategy on how Moses led the Israelite in the crossing of the red sea. Further more we had also discussed the SWOT analysis and defined some problems in the case.
To impart a brief thought of what we had presented the problem in the case was how could Moses evade the pharaohs’ army and cross the red sea. Moses and the Israelites were able to succeed by the help of God. The strong faith of Moses helped them to survive.
One good thing that also reflects in the case is the concept of leadership. Leadership is shown on how Moses led the Israelites wand with his commitment to help the Israelites they were able to succeed and cross the red sea.
One good thing I learned is that leadership is like a establishment of relationship wherein a leader must learn how to listen to be heard. It is like a give and take relationship where if you give respect to your members then in return they will give you respect for respecting them.

That’s all. Hope you learned something and liked our presentation last Thursday. :D

Unstrung Hero Directs.


The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done. – peter drucker


Wondering why I had peter drucker’s quote? It’s because its one of the thing I found interesting on the topic last night. The topic is about leadership. Time to time I kept on thinking what kind of leader could I be? Could I be a great leader? Nor a leader that is responsible to be an example to its subordinates? And if so, would they follow me?

This thing keeps running every time I situate my self as a leader. Perhaps I am too elusive to be a leader. He he. How I hope to be come one of the most top respected leader in the future (Gloria Resign! Bluff! ).

In our time, leaders are not born they are made through experience they had. Leadership is developed in a person through commitment and passion. They are leaders for they not only see thing for their self but for the whole organization. Leaders envision goal not only for their own but for the group. They are the ones who initiate each team member to work and cooperate with in the group. It is like they are the motivators for a member to do their job. Being a leader means great responsibility. Leaders must know every detail of action to create a good environment on the team or organization. He must react to the consequences that the organization may meet not only by himself but with his whole team. He must be willing to accept ideas by his team mates.

And to conclude the lesson discussed last night, I would say that leadership is a skill that anyone poses. It is a talent that must be looked into and developed by each of us. Leadership is not hard when we try to listen and to be heard. It is like a give and take relationship. Take respect by giving respect draft 9:21:00 PM by harvi Delete

first thing first.


Last night our class started the lesson with a review question about the 8 components of the strategy execution process where in I am one the few people called to recite and did not answer the question. It’s because I forgot the topic last meeting and still having the aftershock from the ie-emg night. Then we further discussed about TQM which is one of the factors in strategy execution process. I had learned that TQM is important in the field as an industrial engineer. A good background and knowledge in TQM can help in crafting a perfect strategy where in best practices is applied like the six sigma which uses the DMAIC approach. And after the discussion on strategy execution process we moved on corporate culture and leadership chapter. Here Sir Elise shared some of his experience on his past jobs. In a certain industry there is the existence of culture which is being embrace and lived by. To be able to jive with the culture that is not familiar with us, we must adapt to the environment were into. We must go with the flow and try to function as a member. We must fit into the culture, embrace and try to learn with it.

curfew.beer.and.waiting.


Last night I went to ie-emg convergence nights at Palacio de Manila. Our school introduced the different set of officers from school council to the different organizations (PIIE, PROMAP and ORSP). This officers does not only took the oath on stage but also showed their skills in dancing.

Then came the pageant for mister and miss ie-emg were one of our friend was crowned as the miss ie-emg 2007(JUNE congrats).

The night was launched and ended successful even though there are some problem encountered specially in handling the visitors. There were no enough seats for the audience that some waited the other to finish their meal before they could eat on a table. And that the food catered was not enough for the crowd.

We even got stocked in the palace because of the curfew ban by the stupid government. We had no choice but to spend the rest of the night in Palacio de Manila.
But still we find ways to have a good night with a couple of beer thanks to Sir Elise.
The night is one of a hell of experience some of our friends was even cough by the police mobile patrolling around the Malate area.

Last night was one of my most nerve racking night.
Thanks to the company of my friends and to the cans of beers I still had fine night.

Hope to see a good show to compensate what we had paid for,

With a little dose of anything.

This night we had our class discussion about executing strategies.

At the very start of the class discussion, were asked to share something about our experience working with a group. At that point when we were asked, one intriguing situation has triggered my mind. It’s the way how I am pissed with my other group mates in feasibility class. I would say that some of my group mate (sorry if you’re hurt!) is a big waste, doing nothing. Just like a pig just waiting for his next meal. Is it so hard for someone to ask if his group mate need help? or should he be more responsible to see that his group mates need help, by the way all of us would benefit for the completion of the project. Why should he act like a stone as if his not a beneficiary of the study we are making? Is he blind to see that were sweating it out just to pass the requirements on time?
Maybe he does not want to work with us, after all those ideas he has would just be spoiled and would never been used.

Hmmm, well bad memories are over. The topic does not only focus on the experience on working with a group. Another thing that I remembered is on commitment.
Commitment is like a responsibility or obligation that must be done whether we like it or not. It’s like having the motivation to do things willingly while gambling the risk that it may meet.

One good example is the movie Pearl Harbor were Hawaii is bombed killing and wounded thousands of Americans.

The aftermath of the bombing led to Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt to declare a war against Japan. Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt commitment to fight for his people is shown. He had mutually had the feelings of his people which keep his motivation to command a war against the Japanese.

After seeing the segment of the movie we are asked about commitment. Frankly speaking I was nervous that time to be called because I am not certain on to answer the question. But after the trip going home, a thought came to my mind about commitment. In life commitment is having the complexity to involve one feeling to another. In relation to the lesson, commitment is the will to do things with respect to the risk and it’s like an abiding law that is to be followed whether you like it or not. Commitment is an action for desire not only for own but for common benefit of all.
Commitment is like giving a word of honor.

PUSH. my faith is fading!?!

Yesterday, I had my quiz number 3 result and guess what?
I missed 6 points to pass the quiz and just got 59. Bad!
Supposed to be it is my chance to stand for my name's flag in the class by getting a higher score this time but I had still failed to do so.
Am I cursed? I know that i can do better than what i had right now.
But why can't I bring the best out of me? Am I foolish enough to depend on what others say? Or that I am just stupid to develop the potentials inside me!
Anyway, what’s done is done, life must go on...
I must push my self to strive what I must strike.

I almost forgot. LMVH (louis vuitton moet hennessy) case was been presented by our classmates. LMVH used to sell luxury goods and apparel. The company started as a small business entity and at that time big business used to buy small business entity. The LMVH had his partnership with another small business to avoid being bought by larger businesses. And there all start for the LVMH to start expanding and having its own identity as one of the best luxurious dealer in the world. The company used diversification as a strategy to dominate the market. The presentation of the first group was great even though I did not learn that much because of chit chatting with my seatmate. They presented their case smoothly where each details of the case was mentioned. That group really did a great work that they are recognized as one of the top three group in case presentation in SPM.

For the second presentor, they were not able to completely present their case analysis due to scarcity of time.

And after the class we went to JERWIN's bday party. Tsong belated happy bday.

theres a bullet in my freaking head :D

hmmm.. quiz 3? tragic?
in short. wla ako masagot sa exam kanina.
Parang na storm bolt ako ni sven sa dota pagkabasa ko ng mga tanong.
Nag short circuit ung utak ko at di ako makasagot sa exam.
Parang may tubig sa ulo ko na-aalog alog.
Nakakapraning...

I am still disappointed on how i handled the exam.
feeling uncertain in every word that i wrote, doubting on how to end every sentence.
its the feeling like i missed the lecture because were in hurry coping up with the missed time thus i didn't fed well on every word my professor shared on those days.
its so cruel to end the day by having a disappointing exam spoiling the efforts exerted to surpass every mind boggling question
