True.

Deal with it with Courage

The awkward moment when you see an old friend..

Reality:


This is really me. Haha.

Sana nga.

R.I.P Steve Jobs-

❝ HAVE THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND INTUITION. THEY SOMEHOW ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY WANT TO BECOME. ❞ 

NO ONE WANTS TO DIE. EVEN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN DON’T WANT TO DIE TO GET THERE. AND YET DEATH IS THE DESTINATION WE ALL SHARE. NO ONE HAS EVER ESCAPED IT. AND THAT IS AS IT SHOULD BE, BECAUSE DEATH IS VERY LIKELY THE SINGLE BEST INVENTION OF LIFE. IT IS LIFE’S CHANGE AGENT. IT CLEARS OUT THE OLD TO MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW. RIGHT NOW THE NEW IS YOU, BUT SOMEDAY NOT TOO LONG FROM NOW, YOU WILL GRADUALLY BECOME THE OLD AND BE CLEARED AWAY. SORRY TO BE SO DRAMATIC, BUT IT IS QUITE TRUE.

YOUR TIME IS LIMITED, SO DON’T WASTE IT LIVING SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE. DON’T BE TRAPPED BY DOGMA — WHICH IS LIVING WITH THE RESULTS OF OTHER PEOPLE’S THINKING. DON’T LET THE NOISE OF OTHERS’ OPINIONS DROWN OUT YOUR OWN INNER VOICE. AND MOST IMPORTANT, HAVE THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND INTUITION. THEY SOMEHOW ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY WANT TO BECOME. EVERYTHING ELSE IS SECONDARY.

-Steve Jobs

Hell Month

It's been a while since I updated my blog. I've been busy this week with our research presentation.Indeed, October is surely the "Hell Month" with all the exams, reports/presentations/ and the assignments needed to be passed (I had only one undone assignment for me to pass this week). I could proudly say I'm the only one who passed our assignments on time or at least on a regular basis. Most of classmates in PA 201 has yet to pass a single assignment (We got 6 assignments: 3 readings and 3 admin journals). I'm definitely sure they'll be having a difficult time making those assignments cause' I had a hard time making those with the fact that I'm studying full-time and they're working. 

This week, we'll have our Job Analysis and HR Planning Final Exam and the last group's presentation. Next week, will be our case study presentation for PA 201 and the Finals Exam the week after next. So I'll gonna be busy for a few weeks more before our sembreak. As I see it, I'm quite lucky I'm a full time student so I have all the time I needed (even procrastinating!) to do all my school requirements unlike my professional classmates whose got little time or no time at all to work on theirs. I understand that working and earning a living for their family is a must and taking up their MPA is just an option but I can still see the importance of prioritizing things and time management as the two values we graduate students should embody. There are 24 hours in a day, we could maximize this by working on our priorities and having a to-do list for the day without really abusing ourselves. Stress and lack of sleep would just make us more unproductive. It's okay to sleep late once in a while but its unhealthy if its every night. Especially in this "hell month", we don't want to be sick because of stress. Absences this month might lead to INC's. 

With that said, we should always work on our requirements ahead of time so we won't face the demons of the hell month and we wouldn't be torn into doing our reports/assignments/researches and our final exams. So to end this, I wish all the students good luck in all our final exams and I hope we will get that passing grade we badly needed. :)

On the other hand here are some photos of our Job Analysis and HR Planning Class:

4-PEAT!!

‎2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. After all that have been said by the doubters and "conspiracy theorists", the Blue Eagles kept focused and determined to defend their title and capture their fourth straight and imprint their legacy in the UAAP history as the 4th team to be part of the elite 4peat teams. They give their best to be the BEST. Despite being defeated by the Falcons and was almost forced by thetigers to a sudden death match, they showed what the real BLUE EAGLES is in the FINALS, the biggest stage of basketball. They showed great class and sheer determination. We saw what real TEAMWORK is. And so THE CHAMPS ARE BACK TO THE Mt. OLYMPUS OF UAAP BASKETBALL!! ONE BIG FIGHT!! To God Be The Glory!!
