DAYS OF OUR LIVES

I Love This Game....... My Basketball Life

2007-11-28T19:24:00.000-08:00

My Basketball Life…

To become a professional basketball player is really what I want to be. On my part I know that it’s a very tough dreams but that’s what I really want. This goal was set when I was just a young boy about 15 years old. Before, basketball like an addiction for me, I never let the day pass without playing basketball. I wake up everyday 6 in the morning to practice and play basketball. I do this routine for the reason that I don’t want to be fool by the others when it comes to it. I Practice like a hell to surpass all the people who look down on me. As time goes by, I realize that basketball is not all about defeating others to prove that you’re much better than the others, it’s about how you play the game no matter what win or lose. At first, my objective was to overpower and be top of others but I get it wrong, basketball is about how the team not by me or yourself defeat others. The team is not just compose by me, I’m a part of a team. When the time my view point of playing basketball was change, I play much better than before. I compete so numerous street leagues and barangay tournament before. I have a total of “5 Mythical Five” and 3 M.V.P (Most Valuable Player) awards on street or amateur league. It doesn’t change and turn me into something arrogant guy, I keep the way like I before.

When I just about to graduate in high school, I plan to put my name down in university where I can carry on my reverie. I was frustrated when I heard the news that the try out for a basketball team was just a formality, they already have a line up who’s qualified to join the team. The preferred players are really tall and my height is not like them. So I determined to focus on my study. All through college years, I rarely play basketball and that’s the reason I’m beginning to gain weight. The routine that I used to be was gone. But I accept the reality that it’s not meant for me, I know that there is something for me all I have to do is wait and do what I have to do. Of course I can play basketball when I have a time but now it’s not my goal in life.

Now that I’m working here at Total Information Management (T.I.M), it’s almost a year that I don’t play basketball. But I’m thankful that we have a schedule for playing basketball this time. Last November 21, 2007, we play basketball at Palanan basketball court here in Makati. We all play well and the game was so great. But I really losing my breath that time, I can’t even dash like before and my weight is giving me a hard time. After a week ago November 28, 2007, the game was on again. Like before we all play so well and the only difference is I’m not out of breathing.

Ten years from now, I see myself working and practicing my finished course as a family woman. I would like to apply all that I have learned in my four years at PLM. And all these, would be for my own family in the same way my family had supported me.

Ten years is a lot of time and to dream is also fun. I would be 29 at that time and I think, based on my action plans, I would be successful like every other working girl. Of course, I would want to settle down because I’m getting old but before that I would want to be a leader. I would want to be a manager of a business firm. I want to own everything that I’ve desired for so long like my own cellfone, car and a house. I want to show the world how accomplished I am and that my parents are very proud of me. I want to gain and be part of a world that you’ve long for a long time.
Maybe, if I’ll be given the chance and the experience, it would be that I would do my best to never get out of there because I love my work and from there shall I prosper.

Ten years from now probably I would be in business and have a family of my own. The things that I’ve learned from this subject would mold me to become a better person and a better citizen. Learning Human Behavior is a challenge for me that I would learn to give and evaluate the behavior of others as well as my personal behavior. Ten years from now I’ll share to my family the things that I’ve learned from life and the business I am into I could lead to what the people need and the business so that the business would run smoothly.

Actually, I don’t know what will I be ten years from now, but I have a plan for my life, of course. Ten years from now? Maybe I already have a stable job with my own family. Actually, I don’t want to work here in our country. Honestly speaking, I think I cannot achieve my goals if I’m gonna work only here in the Philippines. I want to go abroad. As much as possible, I want to be in that country called Europe. We all know and we cannot deny it that I can have more chances to be successful in other country than in our country. Well, after being successful in other country, I will return here in our country because I also dream to be an owner of a computer shop. I will let my father to manage it then I’ll go back to the country where I claimed success. And finally, my biggest and heaviest dream, ten years from now, I’m gonna earn my first one million. I know, you may think I’m joking, but I’m not. Though it’s hard to achieve my dreams and plans, I still believe that nothing is impossible and one day, I will wake up seeing my dreams all coming true. And I hope that will happen ten years from now.

Aside from being 29 of age, I think I already have finished my studies and hopefully, I have also graduated my second degree. Maybe in the future I will be working for a big company that compensates me well. During that time, I hope I already have helped my family and that, I had given them good life, especially my brothers and sisters.
And in ten years, I think I will be a part of different organizations, big and small. I will also meet different kinds of people and, of course, bigger problems ahead. But because I had finished this course, I’m not afraid to face the future.

2007-11-20T00:40:00.000-08:00

I can see myself ten years from now as a person of integrity, discipline and respect. Even though I can’t be the best among rest, I will still be proud of myself because I did my best. I can be sure that I will succeed in my endeavor and become a better me and become a better person for others. Because of the things that I’ve learned in the past I can be sure ten years from now that I can be the best of what I can. I can see that there is a bright and stable future for me.

Ryan Ric

2007-11-20T00:39:00.001-08:00

Everybody aspire or dream a happy and stable life. Ten years from now I see my life in a happy and stable situation. Maybe by that time, I’ve already done or get the things that I want to have or to be. I would be helping my parents and my other relatives because that is one of my dream – to return all the sacrifices and hardship of my parents specially my mother. I want to take good care of them and the rest of my family. Maybe also by that time I am building to have a strong and happy family with the person that I want to share with for the rest of my life. I am a successful yet simple economic man. I am using all things that I’ve learned during that 14 years of hardships and trial.

2007-11-20T00:38:00.001-08:00

I am expecting that my life will become successful after I finish college. I want to have a better foundation for my family and to have my own family too. I always put in mind that I need to achieve my goals not only for me but also for my family. It is nice for me to see my self as a “professional” someday. Even though I need to start in a small position, I know that there would come a time that a most awaited position for me will come. Thus, I don’t need to work for a high salary; I just want to feel contentment with my work. Also, I would like to have satisfaction and to be able apply my knowledge in particular fields.

Christofferson

2007-11-20T00:36:00.000-08:00

I can see myself ten years from now as a happy and contented person – being able to achieve my simple goals, dreams in my life. To have a family who will support me and to be my inspiration and purpose will help me to become better person. Ten years may have passed but I will still reminisce the activities, the fun that we have experienced in this subject. And try to teach the things that I have learned.

Diana

2007-11-20T00:35:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now… too long to wait. I can see myself that I already have my own career in the field I’ll pursue when I graduate. I wish that I were successful if that would come true.
After ten years, I’m already 28 or 29. I think that I have started my own family, raising it with my husband. Maybe, I have my career, and am satisfied with the path I walked through.
I wanted my life to be a wonderful journey. I wanted that I am successful with the destiny I have chosen. Ten years is still full of journey… a journey that will lead to my satisfaction and the destiny I want to get in.

Sheila Diña

2007-11-20T00:33:00.002-08:00

Ten years from now, I will still be the same person, but in a matured way, I’ll be 29 by then. As I always wish I wanted to have my own business, probably computer rental shop in our province, and at the same time to work on a company to expand and share my knowledge. And maybe by then I already have my own family, which I will apply everything I learned in this subject the Human Behavior in Organization. That is, in life, it is not only the material things that matter but also our relationship with our family, friends and co-workers. I also wish that after ten years I would return to my Alma Mater, PLM, to share my knowledge for the betterment of this university.

Regin Josef

2007-11-20T00:31:00.000-08:00

I really don’t know what I would be ten years from now but I just want to have a decent and good lifestyle. And I’ll just work hard to achieve that.

Maria Luisa

2007-11-20T00:30:00.001-08:00

If I would be fortunate to achieve my goal ten years from now, I would be very glad to see myself successful both professionally and mentally. Professionally, because I want to be successful in my chosen field. As an Information Management student, it is my goal that someday I will be one of the most competitive system analyst in the future. I would become one of the prides in the world of Information Technology. Determined enough to achieve this, I see myself employed in one of the finest technology company. I would share my knowledge and skills that I have learned in college and in outside learning. To be specific, I want to be manager of a big company but I know that unless I’m physically, emotionally and mentally mature I wouldn’t be able to achieve this. So, I know that as time pass by, I will be experiencing a lot of pains, heartaches, trials, challenges that for me will serve as a motivator in achieving my dreams. To sum it all up, I want to be successful in life as a person and I know I will achieve this with work from me and guidance from HIM.

Michelle

2007-11-20T00:28:00.001-08:00

Maybe ten years from now, I am already satisfied and contented with my life. Maybe it is because I have a stable job. I am working for a good company that provides me with a great salary, which, then, can provide my needs and needs of my family.
Also by that time, I’m starting to build my own house. I am preparing for my future. Also, I have savings in a bank. Ten years from now, I am working as a manager of a particular company. At this moment of time, I am applying all I have learned when I was a student. I am also hoping that I would have a great relationship with my co-workers.

Florando

2007-11-20T00:26:00.000-08:00

My life ten years from now would be I, being financially, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, logically, socially balanced. I would have three good children and a good and beautiful wife that will be my inspiration.
I will revolutionize the information system of our country to make the Filipino lives simple and productive. I will do my part to help become a solution on our country’s many problems. My priority is to improve the lower class of our society that I think will give satisfaction to my life.

Kristine

2007-11-20T00:25:00.000-08:00

I see myself ten years from now as an effective manager in a company, as well as at home and my business / enterprise for I envisioned myself today into becoming those of which I mentioned as I have learned the things that I would help me in obtaining that goal. I know that that time, I am continuously working with my sincerest efforts to satisfy what my subordinates, the company / family / environment I am working for. I know that I would also still be eager to learn from my work and environment giving me more opportunity for advancement in the field that I have chosen to be working in.

Allan

2007-11-20T00:22:00.001-08:00

Well in my vision, I can see my life ten years from now, that I’m successful and satisfied with my life. But still, I continue to grow while facing the challenges of life. It’s hard to tell what I’m gonna be but for me a simple life, simple business with a happy and wonderful family will do. Because its a way of life to accept what’s there and never look for the things that weren’t there instead. Do your best to assert your effort to seek your goal. Ten years from now I can say that life will better with the help of my inner me who always stood up on each fall that I encounter, and still understand why that happen ‘coz once I had a course which helped me see things that should be clarified in my mind.

Maria Theresa

2007-11-20T00:19:00.000-08:00

I think my life ten years from now will be… a woman satisfied with her chosen career and have good relationship with her co-workers. Maybe I live happily with my own family and I can supply all the needs of my children as well as with my husband.
Ten years from now, I have helped my family in financial matters and stable enough to stand on my own, without depending on them. Of course, I am expecting that time will come that I will be contented with all I have and that I have achieved what I have wanted to achieve.

Louie

2007-11-20T00:18:00.000-08:00

Ever since I stepped on the college ground, I asked myself what I would be after studies. I still cannot see myself on different ground after college then.
But after sometime I dreamed of me working in an industrial company with a high position, a manager maybe. I see this five to ten years after my studies. And now this is my goal. I already set my mind that I will achieve my goal on time.
So I think this is how I see myself now ten years after. Achieving my goal is the meaning of success to me. I will meet this goal no matter what happen and therefore I will be successful. Manager does not only mean a position in a company but also the peek of my success. But it does not also mean the end of my life. It will be just the climax. I will not stop striving until I feel tired. Seeing my family stable financially and happy and contented will be the only reason for me to get tired.
I will be successful! I will not only do this to satisfy my needs and my wants but also to build a healthy family. Healthy in wealth, in mind and most especially in heart.

Charmayn

2007-11-20T00:17:00.001-08:00

Ten years from now I maybe a successful professional on my chosen career of being a system analyst or information manager. I maybe also married and a mother by that time. All of my knowledge in this course can be used in my dealing and relating to my co-workers, husband and children. Ten years from now I maybe a successful person or a failure, but I perceived myself to be successful one because I have confidence in myself that I can compete in the real world, because of the knowledge I gained in studying Human Behavior in Organization. PLM is my training ground for the future competition in the industry. I believe that I will graduate in PLM having quality education amidst the lack of resources.
We can’t truly predict what will happen in the future but I can prepare myself to be the best of what I can be.

Celeste

2007-11-20T00:15:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now I’ll be a successful entrepreneur! I’ll rather use my knowledge I’ve learned to be able to perform my job well. To be a better citizen to my country and most especially to be good motivator for others, a role model for the next generation. And if this happen, I’ll always reminisce and cherish all the people behind my success!

Marilou

2007-11-20T00:13:00.000-08:00

Maybe 10 years from now, I’ll be a successful manager in a company. With all the knowledge I have learned from Human Behavior in Organization, I believe that I could reach my dreams.
If only I will follow all the things I learned especially about employee’s behavior and attitude, I know and I believe I could handle the problems and situations that I may encounter as a manager. Changing employee attitude is one factor of being an efficient and effective manager, why? It is because I could possibly know the situation and handle it as good as it can be. Not only in the company, I’ll also be a successful wife with a responsible husband and a bunch of cute little children. If I could handle the company and employees as well, I could also be successful in handling my family’s lifestyle. HBO is not only for company and management it can also be use on family matters.
I’ll never forget the time I’ve spent with my HBO course, coz I believe it’s the way of my future life.

Josephine

2007-11-19T22:59:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now, I see myself as someone to look up to. I can also foresee that in that span of time, I will be able to achieve my goals.
Of course, I have already graduated in PLM having a degree in IM. And I have graduated my second course which is education majoring in mathematics. And by that time, I am taking my masteral degree in PLM. Why PLM again? I can say that PLM has an effective teaching strategy. Their students had grown to be someone she could be proud of. After finishing my masteral, I plan to teach here as my sense of gratitude. I’ll share my experiences and all the things I’ve learned here to the next generation of PLMayers. And motivate them to overcome their toils and hardships in studying. Being a student of PLM is very stressing and challenging. Faith and determination will serve a their weapon to stay alive after the battle.
Being a professor someday, I’ll be able to practice all I’ve learned in this subject especially in dealing with my future students.
In my private life, I see myself happily married to someone willing to devote his life with me. By that time, I’ll have a beautiful and smart little angel named Simoune Phoebe. My husband is a chief chef in a five star hotel. He can afford to give our family’s necessity. We have a home of our own wherein we could spend our happy day together in times of ups and downs.
Then on, I can say that I’m contented of my life. My present and future families were well guided by God. Having them around gives me eternal happiness that no price can pay. There’s nothing more I could ask for to God but a grateful heart.

2007-11-19T22:57:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now I foresee my life to be a disciplined one. All of these topics under Human Behavior in Organization would still be kept intact in my mind for these topics are quite applicable. I see myself to be an educated manager and at the same time a leader for others. I may never be a perfect person for my workplace for there is no such thing. All I know is that I am knowledgeable and motivated to undergo employee problems.

Clarence

2007-11-19T22:55:00.000-08:00

I’ll be turning 19 next month so I’ll be 29 after ten years. By that time, I would be a fulfilled and committed individual in most aspects of life. That time is the moment that I will consider one of the happiest years of my life because I’m applying all the things I have learned in school especially in college and I’ve got my own business, too. By that time, I’m very much stable and a happily married person to someone that I truly love and probably have a child. I’ll be in a life situation wherein I know that that’s the life I really wanted. What I will be then is because of what I’m doing now. Doing things rightly will lead me on that path. Because of studying and living rightly now, I believe that I’ll be happy ten years from now with those people that I care the most.

Metchell

2007-11-19T22:53:00.000-08:00

I can see myself ten years from now as successful businesswoman. Maybe that time I am already married. And, of course, I have graduated my masteral degree and am satisfied with my knowledge and with my life. I already owned a business because to manage business is my dream in life.
I know that ten years is a long time to be productive. In that time I have already graduated in college and I think I’d been working in a big company. I have accomplished some of my goals and aims in life. I also want to manage a business like “restaurant” so I think that time I already have owned a restaurant. By then, I already have found self-fulfillment and am ready to settle down, like getting married to the man I loved. In that case we are both planning for the future and for my future family. By that time I think I have finished my masteral degree because that was my dream – to learn more in order to be successful.

Leslee

2007-11-19T22:52:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now… I’ll be 30 years old and I hope to have a family and a son at that time. Maybe, I’m already a career woman and a very promising programmer. Definitely, I already learned a lot about my career and how to manipulate my life in the right path. I hope to encounter lots of hardships and trials in life and learned a lot from it. In that way, I’ll be a strong and self-oriented woman. I hope at that time I already have established a strong career so that all my efforts from studying will not be wasted. I’ll have a restaurant and bar business, a house of my dreams, 4 cars and a loving husband and a son beside me. I am not hoping for millions, just a savings account for emergency purpose. Money for me is not that important, unless if I let myself cling to it, but I think what really matters to me is to pay back all the love that my parents gave to me. I promised myself that when the time comes, I am the one who’s earning money, my parents will no longer work, I’ll give them money and let them enjoy it. I think ten years from now, I’ll call myself successful if I’ve accomplished everything that I want to do and that is to be productive and a very good person.

Richel

2007-11-19T22:49:00.001-08:00

My life ten years from now will be, maybe, I have my own house with my family. I am also a millionaire and have enough capital to run a business that everybody will patronize. I have also finished my studying and have a good job and very successful in everything. I will be a good system analyst so that I can buy all my needs and belonging like clothes, foods and have my own cars. Or maybe I would be a good manager in a company with my good followers and subordinates. I am also hoping to have responsibilities to my husband and children. I will be a good housewife for I’m willing to do anything that is best and capable enough to think what’s the best for myself.

Lovely

2007-11-19T22:43:00.001-08:00

Ten years from now, I see myself as a successful woman. I have a stable job and maybe I got my own home. Probably, I also have my own family. I am very busy with my work and in dealing with other people. Aside from my work I also have my own business. That will my life be ten years from now and I believe that it will surely happen because I learned a lot from human behavior in organization because through this subject I learned how to deal well with people and also to myself as well.

Jimson

2007-11-19T22:24:00.000-08:00

Maybe ten years from now, I see myself that I’m already a professional and have started my small business. I know life is not just a 4 letter word that we can read with our eyes; it’s a word that we should all put our heart and mind to it, because life is a one time gift to us so better be good using it. I don’t want my 10 years from now to be full of regrets, that’s why I will take my life one step at time. So I think 10 years from now is long enough to increase my knowledge and skills that I gain at this course to support my family.

Karen

2007-11-19T22:20:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now, I can see my self and my life still growing. Growing in the sense that I would learn more and can share my knowledge. I can see myself successful in the field that I have chosen and as well as satisfied and contented with what I have. I’m looking forward to having many friends that I can help. And with the knowledge that I have learned and would be learned, I know that I can be an interior designer, incorporating computer designs. These are the things that I’m looking forward ten years from now. Maybe this is also the time when I can repay all the persons that have helped me reach that position. I know that a simple “thank you” and appreciation can give them the happiness and joy and self-fulfillment.

Negelyn

2007-11-19T22:18:00.000-08:00

I can see myself, ten years from now, having my own house and lot, cars and a stable business. Also, having my own family. These things, I think will satisfy me as a person a long as our family and our business have blessings from God.

Irma

2007-11-19T21:40:00.000-08:00

Hopefully, I strive to be a successful manager ten years from now. A successful manager, for me, is someone who can achieve the organization’s goals through the proper motivation of employees. With the lessons that I have learned in Human Behavior in Organization, I am hoping to understand employee’s behavior so as to develop programs that will suit their needs and satisfaction. This, in return, will yield to their productivity as workers. I am also hoping to apply everything that I have learned so that I would boost their morales, satisfying their needs, not only financially, but mentally and psychologically as well.
Also, I am hoping to build better relationships with others. Understanding their behavior and communicating with them effectively will help me achieve that. With that ten years of experience, I am hoping that I would build or improve my self-confidence and self-esteem. This will largely influence my disposition in life as a person, a worker, a family man, and a friend to all. Also in ten years, I am hoping that I have reached out to others, to the best of my ability, making them understand others so that love and respect would reign in everyone.

Ronaldo

2007-11-19T21:38:00.000-08:00

My life, ten years from now, would be I already have graduated at PLM and would have gone to Australia. I want to try to look a job outside of our country because I have a chance to be rich and to find a good job. My cousin has a job in a certain company, and I want to be with him.
Also, when I graduate at PLM, I want to work at Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas because my whole family are there and when I work four years from now I want to take masteral degree because I want to be a manager someday.
I will build my own family when I step at age of 28 because, maybe, I have my own house and car and have established my own family.

Veronica

2007-11-19T21:33:00.001-08:00

Ten years from now, I see myself as a successful career woman. I have a stable job and with this job I applied all the things I’ve learned – to interact and get along with people in a right way. I also see myself very happy with my life and my job. Maybe I could have a family of my own. And by that time, I’ve already help my parents. I’d help them financially, physically and emotionally. I’d help them to have a better way of living. I’ll give them a comfortable life. In this way I could repay all the things they’ve done to me. This is also my way saying Thank You to all the love, care and support they have given me. Ten years from now, I see myself very happy with my life and my family’s life and with my job too.

Analyn

2007-11-19T21:31:00.001-08:00

Still, I don’t know what my life would be ten years from now because there are still questions that I’m unable to answer. But then I picture myself heading for a simple life. I will be a good provider for my parents that I can be able to help them in every step of the way. I maybe having my own family to raise and a good husband by my side. I don’t want an extravagant life but I wish that these little dreams would come true.

Archie

2007-11-19T21:27:00.001-08:00

Only God knows what will be my life ten years from now. Because I believe in God that He’ll always be here to guide me in the right direction. My only wish is to finish my study and have a simple life, that I can feed my family.
Maybe, I’m starting a new life, trying to be successful man. Get a happy family, have a simple house, driving my car to office – if I finish my studies. But I will find the answers with God and am hoping to grant this simple wish.

Maria Divina

2007-11-19T20:35:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now, that will be in the year 2011, October 5. Well, honestly, I can’t see a very clear picture of myself for that time. Before, whenever I’m asked, “What do you want to be?” I just simply smile and say, “I want to be a successful person someday.” A successful person –an answer that reveals that I’m not certain who I really wanted to be.
But now, still, the answer is I want to be successful person. But this time successful, complete, dignified. Someone who has learned.

I firmly believe that, after ten years, I can handle myself as a good individual. In that way, I can do my best to my work and to my family. I believed that after ten years I will have my own career to handle and that career is my foundation that will build my own family and that will help the country by sharing my knowledge and skills.
These things can happen because I learned the knowledge from my different subjects especially in Human Behavior in Organization. I can apply and also teach my son and daughter in the future the good values that every individual must possess. I also believe that God will help me happen all these things. When this time comes, I will make sure that I help my parents and thank them for supporting me and same goes to my friends, classmates and teachers.

Ten years from now, I could be a manager, or I may have my own family business, a computer center. Well, if ever it may happen, I get to be the boss, like a manager of a small company “our computer shop.” I get to meet new people and learn something about them, like how they want it to be. Their attitudes and things they need. I also get to hire my own helpers / employees / subordinates. If that happens I’ll have a practice about leadership as well as motivation of my workers.
And not just that I get to fulfill my high school dream, to own a computer shop. I’ll have the chance to do my thingies about PCs. I can give tutorials and special classes on computers like operating system basics and web based programming and web page developing. Even give tutorials on DOS based programming like C language, COBOL and assembly language.
Being an IM student gives me my stepping-stone to my dreams.

2007-11-19T20:27:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now, I will be one of the respected and honored people in the industry. That’s one of my greatest dream or my goal and I want that to happen. I’ll make sure that I will apply all my knowledge that I gained in studying Information Management especially in the field of computers. In that way, I can help our government to improve our technology. It will help a lot to uplift our economy. And, of course, I’ll help my family.

2007-11-19T20:25:00.001-08:00

I do see myself ten years from now, having children of my own, and a loving wife that will comfort me. Same goes to them. And, of course, I will be having a stable job that I like and contented with.
And, of course, I will be giving all my parents what should they have and will not be forgetting to give them love that won’t change through time. And at the same time, I will be securing the needs of my family.
And lastly, I’m succeeding in all the aspects I’m doing and wanted to.

2007-11-19T20:22:00.000-08:00

Probably I’m working in a good company with a good salary, of course, and with a better life with my wife and children. I will be a good employee in a company and I will apply what I learned in my course in BSIM so that I can share my knowledge about what I learned.

Daisy

2007-11-19T20:19:00.000-08:00

For me I think I have my own family and successful, of course, in life. I’ve also become a good housewife or mother to my children. Maybe in that ten years I get all my goals in life especially having a dream house and a small business. In that year, maybe, I have also helped my parents and have achieved their plans for me.

Katrina

2007-11-19T20:17:00.001-08:00

I can see myself as a career woman; a professional manager in a certain company. I handle system analysts and programmers. Even though my income is not that high, it is enough for my family’s necessities. I also see myself talking and doing business with the executives of different top companies. Of course, I’ll use what I’ve learned in HBO – how to handle and communicate with these kinds of persons. And with the way I manage my subordinates will be not that authoritative. Of course they can ask me questions about the tasks I’ve given them. I’ll also show them my presence more than my division of task to them. I’ll also show them motivations and encouragement for them to have enhancement in doing their job. I’ll be an employee-centered supervisor rather than a job-oriented one. I’ll make it a point that I’ll be successful ten years from now because I’m satisfied with my job and I’m happy with my family.

Ten years from now, I would have a family of my own. I would have my dream house built and my dream car bought. I would have a son by then. I would manage some of our business, but preferably I would be just a plain housewife. My husband’s very successful and we own lots of buildings and lands. Maybe I could pursue my studies and have a degree.

Erwin

2007-11-19T01:46:00.000-08:00

Ten years from the future, hell that’s a lot of time. By that time I’m reaching my late 20s, I’ll be heading in the third decade of my life.
I see myself, having a stable source of income, not employed, but running my own business. And hopefully, God’s willing, I’ll marry her (you know, who else) and raise and start my own family, living in a clean exclusive village.

2007-11-19T01:18:00.000-08:00

Ten years from now, I already have a business on my own. I don’t want to work for the rest of my life; I want to have my own establishment. By then, I can say I am successful in my career life. And I guess, I am also married by then and have children to raise.

Sheena Mae

2007-11-16T01:20:00.001-08:00

Ten years from now, I can see myself as a successful employee because I applied all what I have learned in this course. Living as a satisfied person, with good relationship in the society, achieving all my goals in life.

2007-11-16T00:55:00.001-08:00

Ten Years From Now:

Maybe my life ten years from now will be more meaningful and deeper than before after what I’ve learned in this course. I see myself as a successful analyst, or a manager. I want to treat my subordinates as my friends because I don’t want them to think I’m boastful because I was a manager. I will be more responsible with my act. I will also respect the perception, values and belief of my co-workers.

Back To Information Management

B.S Information Management Batch

2003

Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila is a place where the best among the best was born. It’s strengthen by time, it was remain standing up to now because of a strong faith of students to their teachers and mentor that serves as the foundations of the school. I never thought that I could possibly exceed all my subjects, without the help of my teachers and classmates it could not be possible. In the first place I thought that high school life is much better than college life, but as the years go on with college days I can’t even tell the difference on both school days. I really miss the laughter and tears, the overnight stay to meet the dead line of our projects, thesis, etc. And keep thinking what happen to those lovers (hehehe… me nagkatuluyan ba?) are they still together or not? I had a great love before. All I can say to her is thank you for sharing your time with me and walking along with you. As life goes on, slowly I realize that life never ends until you say I give up, just like basketball, it’s not over until there’s a time left. Life is not constantly running in a smooth way or path; it never ends when there’s a road block, sometimes it runs in rough way when there’s a time you want to give up and keep thinking why it’s too painful to go on, but if you continue to go on and face the entire rough road, you will slowly learn how to soak up all the pain. For me, pain sometimes not really means hurt; sometimes it means “a lesson from your past” it teaches us how to survive and made us to be strong. In this world that we’re divided by fear, we’ve got to believe that there’s a reason we’re here. It’s been 4 years since we all left PLM. I wonder where are the others, what happen to them, where do they work? Did somebody get married? I hope that they all doing good. I can’t wait to hear all the news about them.

Guys….. Let’s make the best out of our lives……. But first let we take a look what you said when we’re on 3rd year about yourself ten years after.

Makati Bomb Blast.......

2007-11-05T14:57:00.000-08:00

Makati Bomb Blast……

The public and the relatives of the casualties are still looking for answer if this catastrophe is accidentally happen or not? The entrance to the mall, the lobby and the activity center were a total wreck, buried under piles of wooden planks, slabs of cement, and parts of the roof and the concrete floor of the area had also been raised by the blast. All fatalities appear to have been recovered and search and rescue operations were called off Friday night. Police did not immediately name likely suspects for the attack. But the police, citing initial reports, said the blast may have originated from the storeroom of the Luk Yuen restaurant, which was initially tagged as the site of the blast according to the report the explosion left an eight-meter (26-foot) wide crater on the ground floor and blew a hole through the roof on the second floor. Ayala Corporations do other investigations to solve the mystery behind this catastrophe. There are several casualties and losses occur in this blast, family and relatives of casualties are still in the state of shock because it happens so very fast and all of a sudden it’s gone.

For the relatives of the casualties, some of them still looking to know the truth behind bomb blast and some of them said that whether this tragedy is a terrorist attack or not they still have a lost of life. In their heart and mind the memories will keep them alive.

Here’s a letter from the husband of one of the casualties of the Glorietta bombing:

Good day everyone,

I wish I were writing under different circumstances.

I would like to inform you that my wife Leslie Cruz

was part of the casualties in the Glorietta 2 Mall

bombing in Makati City, Philippines. She was supposed

to have a minor out patient surgery at Makati Medical

Center at 230pm.

I had taken a leave from work to accompany her there.

We dropped off our daughter, Amber, at my parents

place in QC to baby-sit at around 10am. We then

proceeded to Makati and was there at 1230pm. Since she

had been fasting in preparation for her procedure, she

wanted to move around and listen to some music while I

grabbed a bite to eat. We parked at the basement of

Park Square 2, and headed for the Glorietta 2

entrance. We parted at the top of the escalator, she

turned right towards Filbar's while I went left

towards the restaurants. That was the last time I

would see her. Around 120pm, she had called me so that we can meet at

the Glorietta 2 exit just in time to make her

appointment. As I made my way there from Glorietta 1

through the connecting hallways, and was about to turn

the corner, I heard 2 deep thumps and the shock-wave

from the blast hit me. At that moment my heart dropped

as I knew that the origin of the blast came from the

same place where we were supposed to meet. I tried

getting to where my wife was, but the dust was too

much and it was as if I was staring at a white wall.

I still tried to convince myself that she was able to

make it out, and that after ringing her mobile without

a response only meant that she dropped it in the

confusion. After 6 hours of searching from Makati Med.

to Ospital ng Makati, the blast site, and back again

to MMC - with the help of all the people I could get

hold of, that I was able to get confirmation in what

the state of my wife was. My Dad and Uncle signaled me in from the
ER of MMC.

My Uncle (who's a doctor) asked me to describe Leslie's

appearance to another group of doctors. I saw in the

eyes of one that the description made sense. Instead

of confirming it to me, they huddled together, then

brought me to a small examination room. It was only

through a digital camera that I was able to confirm

(and deny) that she was indeed gone.

I have so many regrets. I should have met her sooner.

I should have run instead of a brisk walk. I should

have not chosen to park where I did. I should have

braved the dust and went in the blast site. I should

have ...

Today's the 4th day. It is still terribly difficult to

breathe, let alone wake up realizing that your source

of strength, your best friend doesn't lie beside you

on your bed. That my deepest worry is when Amber

starts asking for her Mama.

I am glad that Amber's too young to understand the

loss and pain. In time I would like to tell her the

details of how her mother died, but more importantly I

would like to raise her as how her mother lived - a

loving person, strong willed, decisive, caring, and

nurturing. She has always cared for her family and

friends, and sacrificed her career for being a full time

mom and home maker.

As with all couples we had our ups and downs - none of

which I regret not going through. The sweet is never

as sweet without the sour. For almost 4 years of

marriage, we've finally hit our balance in life only

to be taken away in an instant. I have no regrets

about our marriage. She has loved me and Amber beyond

her capacity. I will always love her.

It is my first time to write to egroup as I've lurked

and watched emails being sent to and fro. All I want

now is that for each of the couples here is to cherish

each moment that we spend with our loved ones. Pretty

simple to say, very easy to take for granted.

Thank you all for the prayers. I would still like to

ask you to please include Leslie in them until her

40th day so that the path to God's kingdom is well lit

and she is no longer in the dark.

Sincerely,

Carlo Cruz

Let us all pray for the losses of Glorieta Bombing and hoping that it will never happen again and to outshine the pain.

The Makati bomb blast is a very heartbreaking incident that happens to us. It also awake us that we should always give love to each other coz in a split second we don’t know what might happen. Saying I love you to your love one and having a smiled back to you and say “I love you too” is a very unexplainable feeling. So if there’s a chance to say it you have to do it, coz it might there will be no other time....

The Makati bomb blasts give so much pain and leave a question for all of us. “When do you plan to speak out the word “I LOVE YOU” to the one you love? When do you plan to say “SORRY?” When do you plan to show that you “CARE?” IF NOT NOW?

WHEN………

Life is too short don’t take a short cut

2007-10-24T18:29:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder why so many accidents happen for the most part in the road? Have you ever consider that maybe sooner or later it will be us? Nowadays, we all hear the news about vehicular accident including bus, jeep, motor bike and private car. Almost 5 to 10 vehicular accidents are reported everyday. We don’t want to put our love ones in menace that’s why many of us take the road with so much care but the problem is does the others know how to care with others? Did they all know that the way they drive will lead to injury or even to fatality? Like what happen to me last Sunday. When I’m on my way home to Quezon City, there’s guy driving his motor bike in the middle of the road of Commonwelth Ave. and I saw the way he overtake the car going to left side of the road and it causes the car to stop because the driver knows that he might bump into motor bike and the sad part is the vehicle behind the car hit him but fortunately it’s not that horrific. And you know what the driver of the motor bike didn’t even know the terrible cause he did. As I go on my way home there's the motor bike again and he’s on the left side now and I’m thinking that he’s going to take a u-turn at Ever Gotesco too, the scenario now he’s in front of my car then all of sudden he just stop! All I can do is to make a full brake and blow a hard horn on him and stop, he's on my left side now and I can tell to myself by looking at him that he was so angry at me. “huh?” and I’m thinking “kaw pa me ganang magalit!?” then he hit my hood, “nagulat ako syempre sya pa nagalit skn!” then I open my door and try to approach him and rapidly he drove away so fast and say “##%$!@*(*&”, and I’m thinking what’s on his mind getting angry with me. I think he’s about 19 to 21 years old boy. A tip for all the bikers, when you’re on the right side of a car it’s so hard for us to see you. Tailing cars, buses, jeep is not a good idea for all bikers and I think you should all be aware of that, the reason why is…… what you’re going to do if the car in front you suddenly stop? Does your bike can make a full stop with high speed not going overthrow you from your bike? Or you’re going to turn right or left all of the sudden? What if there’s a vehicle on both sides? Let’s change the scenario, your tailing a car not in high speed all the way then not knowing there’s a modest hole on the road that only four wheel car can go over with it or there’s a portion of rock come into sight? I think you can’t just make full stop out of it….. You know what’s going to happen……. I’m just trying to say is please be liable for your own life and others life, in a split second there’s a big change of life and even die out all your dreams….. Keep that on your mind…….

Maulan kaya madulas ang kalsada na naging dahilan ng vehicular accident sa harap ng Napocor sa Quezon City.

the way other buses, jeep and motor bike drivers act and drive:

BUSES

· Pag nagmamneho sila parang kotse lang dala nila
· Palipat lipat ng pwesto, pupunta sa kanan tapos kakaliwa
· Kahit alam nya na may ibang sasakyan sa kanan nya, pag me nakita na pasahero yan bigla na lng kakanan yan at iipitin ka
· At me &*!^@&(*%%$ ka pa!! pag nag busina ka.. hahahaha!! Ang galling noh?
· Hihinto na lng bigla pag me baba
· Pag trapik kahit alam nila na pag dumiretso sila ay hindi sila mkakadaan din, didiretso pa din sila sa gitna hindi na tuloy mkadaan ung pa cross na side kaya talagang trapik lalo. Haaaayyyyy………..

Note: Hindi nadadaan sa bilis o pa zigzag na pagmamaneho ang kikitain sa araw araw, pahalagahan mo din ang buhay mo at ng ibang tao. Kahit punong puno na kayo sa loob ng bus mag sasakay pa din yan…. Sige kasya tayong lahat dito pasok lang.. hahahaha…….. Basta pahalagaan nyo din ang buhay nyo at ng ibang tao…….

Jeep:

· Ang “Green Light” sa kanila ay “Stop” at ang “Red Light” ay “Go”
· Lahat yata ng kanto hihintuan nila
· Palipat lipat din ng pwesto parang sila lang ang dumadaan
· Gusto nila laging overtake ng overtake kahit makitid ang kalye
· Mag bababa ng pasahero kahit sa gitna ng kalye

Note: kahit Green Light na nakahinto pa din sila sa mga kanto para mag antay ng pasahero kahit alam nila na makakaabala sila sa mga nasa likod na sasakyan. Pag Red Light naman pipilitin nila mag go para maunahan ung ibang jeep makakuha ng pasahero. Hehehe….. “Pag hindi ka pa bayad alam nila” pero pag me sukli ka pa nag kaka amnesia na at minsan nag gagalit galitan pa….. hahahaha……. Konting ingat lang sa pag mamaneho manong marami din kayong pasahero araw araw…….

Motor Bike:

· Gusto nila pakita na mas mabilis sla sa mga kotse (kung big bike ka cguro pwede)
· Noon bike ang umiiwas sa kotse, ngayon kotse na umiiwas sa bike. Hehehehe
· Ngayon nsa gitna na tumatakbo yung iba ayaw na nila sa gilid o sa isang side lang
· Pag nag busina ka titignan ka pa ng masama
· Pag hindi pa na kuntento sa tingin me (((^%$$&^(()_) ka pa…. hanep ka boy........ hehehe
· Maasahan mo mga Motor bike dahil lagi silang nsa tabi mo…. Hahahahaha…..

Note: Suot nyo na lang helmet nyo wag nyo na lagay sa braso o sa manibela nyo dahil bka mas ika disgrasya nyo pa yun. Huwag kayo magalit pag nag busina lng sa inyo mga sasakyan, warning lng un na meron kayong katabi baka bigla kayong lumiko.. ok? Hehehehe…..

I’m not against with you guys, I just want to give some good advice and to let you know that life is so short don’t make it shorter………
Please drive with care…………….

All About Dirk

2007-10-21T16:47:00.000-07:00

"7-0, 245, Born June 19, 1978Country: Germany 8th NBA Season … 5th NBA All-Star "

For me Dirk Nowitzki is one of the best and matchless player in NBA..... Game weel thought-out one of the league’s influential players… Outstanding inside-outside scorer, possesses tremendous range and is able to shoot over smaller defenders … Ranks among league leaders in points, rebounds and double-doubles …... Named to his first All-NBA First Team in 2005…A two-time All-NBA Second Team selection (2002, 2003)…A two-time All-NBA Third Team selection (2001, 2004) … Averaged 28.7 points, 9.1 rebounds in seven games for Germany in the 2002 World Championship in Indianapolis, earning Most Valuable Player award ... Competed in the All-Star Shootout in 2000 and 2001 … Selected by Milwaukee Bucks in first round (ninth overall) in 1998 NBA Draft … Draft rights traded by Bucks with draft rights to Pat Garrity to the Mavericks for draft rights to Robert Traylor on draft day.

Nobody has been more dynamic and fascinated more criticism than Nowitzki, who was the favorite all season to win the MVP last year, won it, and then afterward suffered criticism when the Mavericks were upset in the first round. The irony was almost too much to take considering the same thing happened in the 2006 Finals, when cries of him being overrated resonated as the Mavericks collapsed after holding a 2-0 lead vs. the Heat.
Getting down to it, he is a magnificent athlete and shooter, but he is not the low-post player people expect him to be with his size. And really, why should he be? He is a fabulous perimeter shooter. Did he buckle in the playoffs? Yes, but that doesn't diminish what he accomplished the rest of the season and how he has helped create the most dominant regular season team of the past two seasons. His next step, obviously, is to win a title. Certainly there have been plenty of superstars in this league never to win a title, so it isn't a prerequisite.

---------->How about playing style?<----------

Nowitzki is one of the best shooters in the NBA, and is capable of shooting a high percentage from both medium range and beyond the three-point line, unusual for a 7-foot forward. His tall frame and favorite fade away jump shots pose difficulties for defenders, and in 2006 and 2007 he shot over 90% at the free throw line. Nowitzki also has an effective high post game in the NBA, able receive passes near the top of the key and bring the ball down to the low post to score on a turnaround jump shot or a drive. He was also very effective working the pick and roll with former teammate, Steve NashNowitzki's defense improved under current Dallas coach Avery Johnson. Nowitzki notched a career high in blocks on January 6, 2006, with 7 against the Denver Nuggets. Nowitzki is the only player in NBA history to register at least 150 three-point field goals and 100 blocks in a season (he had 151 three-point field goals and 101 blocks in the 2000-01 season).Nowitzki has been compared to Boston Celtics forward Larry Bird, both being prolific scorers and admired shooters. Both Bird and Nowitzki are rated as three-point contest champions and excellent free-throw shooters. However, Bird's career high season records exceed Nowitzki's in terms of season average per game assists and rebounds.

----------> How about the early years of Dirk?<----------

Nowitzki decided to declare for the 1998 NBA Draft at the age of 20. He had a promise from Boston Celtics head coach Rick Pitino that his team would take him with the 10th overall selection. However, one other team was interested in the German prospect: the Dallas Mavericks, and they selected him just one pick earlier. Technically, he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Bucks were selecting for the Mavericks; the two teams had a pre-arranged deal. The Mavericks had likewise selected Robert “Tractor” Traylor for the Bucks with the sixth pick. Even though the two teams were selecting for each other, the Nowitzki-for-Traylor deal has gone down as one of the most infamous and lopsided trades ever. The Mavericks also got the draft rights to nineteenth-overall pickPat Garrity, but that same draft, Garrity was traded (along with other players and future draft considerations) to the Phoenix Sun for young point guard Steve Nash. On that night, the Dallas Mavericks acquired two of the pieces on which they would build their franchise for years to come.Mavs GM Don Nelson touted Nowitzki as the sure-fire 1998-99 Rookie of the Year at the draft, a lofty expectation for a 20-year-old who was in the U.S. for the first time. Dallas fans were understandably upset, then, when Nowitzki looked lost when on the floor in mop-up minutes as a rookie. Determined to prove that he could be a force in the NBA, Nowitzki returned to Germany in the 1999 off-season, working hard on sharpening his total game. The summer of work helped immensely, as Nowitzki emerged as a starter and future star in1999-2000, when he averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, finishing second in voting for the league'sMost Improved Player.The following season (2000-01), he averaged 21.8 points and 9.2 rebounds and became the first Maverick to be named to the All-NBA-Team, making the third team.
