Organizational Management, the course we will be taking up next term will basically be a defense. you will work for something for 10 weeks and defend it for 15 minutes. Nice. I hope i do well in this. i mean, during our filkomu docu, it already almost gave a big problem regarding my friendship with my groupmates who are also, most of them, are my bestfriends. then this big thing will come along, how far will it take us? sir oli talked about so many funny and at the same time scary things when defending. funny because obviously, it's funny and scary because you ask yourself, what if it happens to me? im very pessie i know but i am changing. better each day, becoming more optimistic about life. hehehe. anyway, i hope i do well in every defense i will have next term and the other terms that will come.
CCS students, because of these defenses have this bond wherein barkadas are not only in fives or six per group. mostly people hang-out ten, eleven, twelve at a time. Everyone is close to everyone. Which is also a good thing since everyone in CCS are friendly which makes is less scary to go to school everyday.
The price each defense will give is very rewarding. I mean, being able to surpass that 15 minutes of hell is enough. :))
Anyway, its not over yet. INTRICT is not yet over. Judgement day is about to come. Specifically on August 27, 2008, 8:00-11:00 am. wooh! i really hope and pray that i will pass. i never failed on anything yet. i hope this will not be a first!
Evolution of technology
imagine carrying an envelope-sized thingy just for your .txt files. hahaha. so sad. but thankfully, technology is constantly evolving. from these gigantic floppy disk to half an inch usbs which by the way, carries quadruple the capacity of the previous one. the meeting that week was very informative. about the Y2K problem, i never thought it really existed. i mean, i was only young back then so honestly, i didnt really cared. but thinking that there will no longer be enrolment in schools and all records will be erased. i never thought that y2k is a very serious problem. :(
anyway, moving on, this is the first time i knew that our internet connection was from taiwan. the Philippines is soo poor talaga. (said in a very konyo way! hahahaha :)) ) but DLSU is soo cool ever! (konyo parin :D ), i mean, having our own sattelite, ang using fiber optic wires. so amazing! sir oli even used my hair strand just for everyone to see how thin this wire is. And sir oli also discussed how important the gox building is. how power in gox cannot lose! hahahahaha! our planet gox is so important. the future of our university depends on it. :D
there are so many new and interesting and exciting things i learn in this course. (naks!)

INTRICT dance showdown
we were given information about cars and stuff and we were asked questions about it. either we get a plus or a minus with every answer and unfortunately, we all got -30 in the class. The more depressing thing is that, our mistake was because of carelessness and miscalculations. out of this activity, it only shows that technology really does play a vital role in our lives and we, in the future, are the ones who will provide this convinience. Imagine a large company manually counting their profit. what future will that bring them? Because of that, our consequence was to dance in class. Our group did a remix and everyone of us performed, well, except for jason because of his injury but he was able to give some ideas beforehand. all in all, we performed ok, hindi naman kami mukhang nagkalat. I realized many things on that day:
>galing talaga sumayaw ni alvin. nakakabilib ng sobra. pareho sila ni ac.
>si kreeno galing maglakad patalikod! with matching sway sway pa ng kamay ahh!
>mukhang sailormoon sila cesz :)
>si quino ang yaman pala!
>grabe pati pagligo pwede na sayawin! shampoo.. banlaw.. hahahaha! benta talaga un!
>nakakaLSS ang move move shake shake and drop! pati ung dance steps ng group ni jet. hahaha
>si sherv at vince ... the best talaga. lalo na ung showdown nila! as in the face so serious parang step up at stomp the yard ang dating!
>jerik == chris brown (?!) remixxx. :))
so anyway, out of these, i can say that, that activity was very enjoying and fun. the anouncements, on the other hand, made us realize that its not over. may assassination pa! parang intrprg! :)) hopefully makapasa! ayoko nga magrepeat ng intrict!

Makro Midterm Project
there is always a first time for everything. first time i didnt sleep for 40 hours and im still all hyped up. that night was a very challenging night. my connection was turning on and off so i cannot download my microsoft visio and communicate properly with my groupmates. i tried to communicate through text but my goodness! text messaging for school work is very pathetic. i think i lost my patience that day because of my internet connection. but after 3 bottles of nescafe, 2 cups of homemade coffee and a bucket of tears, we were able to do our project. almost every s13 on my contacts are still online by 3 am. funny actually and almost all of their stats were about coffee and makro and stuff. the following day i went straight to z^2 to buy another can of coffee then on my way back, i saw sir oli. at first, my brain was too drained and my mind is blank so my mind was processing slower. i wasnt sure at first if it was sir, his face was blurry until he came closer and i was able to recognize and greet him. the way to g201 was surprisingly long that day. it was like 30 mins walking travel. hehehe. but anyway, our group was able to submit on time but unfortunately, sir placed our with the 'wrong' group because of some handwritten parts but its ok since i know that we did our job well. :D
Reflective Essay
--i can say that one of the meeting that struck me most was when we had the topic about love. not because of the 'love' part. This part made me realize that men and women are really different. opinions contrasting in every situation. but still, even though we are so different, we still fall in-love with the one who is completely opposite with us. the leadership module, while i was making this portfolio, also affected me. as i was walking down memory lane, it made me realize things. how i cannot be a good leader and an achiever simultaneously. and being a very sensitive person, this thought bothered me. yea, i think i need to do more thinking and help me outgrow and balance these two situations. this course also taught me how to prioritize. to realize which things are of worth and which are worthless. i also learned more about myself. i thought i am an introvert. maybe im just shy or there are just times when i dont feel like talking or socializing. this course also made me feel proud that i am a part of this wonderful institution. because of this course, i easily adjusted to the college-life. it helped me know the strategies and behavior that are appropriate and right as a lasallian. actually, persef is one of my favorite courses so i am very participative and 'comment-tative' (?!) during meetings because i am aware that i have 'issues'. so my mind is set that maybe this course could help me improve these issues and do better and it did, in a way. of course some of my issues weren't covered but there are some that were given solution to because of this course (naks! :D ).
Leadership Style
PARTICIPATIVE
--i want the participation and help of my members, full cooperation and teamwork. But i admit, that there should still be a line where a leader must be the one to have the final say. Still, taking into consideration the opinions and suggestions of my members. I let my team or group do their work but with my guidance. I want a team that could also be leaders on their own.
I am not at all shocked with the result because i am already aware that i am a participative kind of leader. I used to be a leader..back in gradeschool. Back then they say im pretty good at it. i can control the noise of our class. We usually are the 'most quiet section' and we would get stars on our doors. I am pretty proud of that achievement. What went wrong? I got too emotionally attached to my work. I tend to cry when somethings went wrong, at a very young age, i think i already a perfectionist. it hindered from doing well on my studies to the point where i lost my academic achievements. And because of that, i lost my leadership touch in highschool. But i was able to gain my awards back during my senior year. i guess i need to learn to balance leadership with my studies.

Lasallian Citizen Watch
1. In your few weeks of stay here in De La Salle, can you identify one area of concern that affects the quality of life in your school?
--i've been spending less time with my family lately. it didnt affect me at first but then there was this time when i was looking for my brother and everyone else but me knew that he was having a retreat. it sort of made me realize that if im not in school, i am in front of my laptop or i am asleep. during dinner, i am too tired to talk with my family and too worried for my school work.
2. What is your proposed solution to this problem?
--i am actually in the process. i am performing this solution right now. since it is only during the weekend and dinner that i get to spend my time with my family, i decided that even though i am tired and exhausted, i will try my best to talk to them and connect myself with them more.
3. What do you commit yourself to do so that this school would become and ideal school?
--i would be a good example to others and proclaim how wonderful this university is. if they will see that the product of this institution is a great one, it will only reflect positive things about our school. which will make it an ideal one :)
