The Apprentice of Donald Trump

Lately I focus myself much in watching Donald Trump's "The Apprentice". I like the movie much because you could get lots of lessons from it particularly about leadership. You will see from the show potential people getting fired just because of one stupid mistake. Occasionally, one stupid mistake can be a player's downfall. Although it's just a show, a contest but in the real world of professionals it really does apply. We tend to overlook many tiny details and these series of small mistakes will add up resulting to our downfalls. Being a project leader is indeed challenging. If your project fails, the blame will be put unto you. That's why you need to balance everything. You get push always but inorder to survive you need to push harder also or else people will use your weaknesses against you. And at the end, you will be the one getting fired. I really love the 2007 series of "The Aprrentice". I love the players in there. They were all very tough and competitive. The show will teach you how to gain higher self-esteem that is believing in yourself or else no one will. Being confident in ourself and what we do, that'll be reflected in our work and how we treat people. As what Donald Trump said, we need to blow our own horn and let people know about our accomplishments. Wow, that movie really inspires me a lot. In fact yesterday, I downloaded the final episodes of "The Apprentice" season 2007 from youtube.com. Good thing the utility I used in getting that video now offers mp4 format and so I got a clear copy of the episodes. I planned to visit a bookstore maybe tomorrow or saturday to search for a book written by Donald Trump. His advices were all really something worthwhile. I also made research just this morning and I found a blog site of Mr. Trump. Lots of things about leadership that he posted and I'm so happy that I found this site. I started reading his page about leadership. Please Click Here if you want to visit it also. I'm sure you will like it and you will get lots of things from there too. Enjoy reading.

Davao's Trip

I arrived here in CDO last saturday afternoon. That travel was so tiring since I wasn't really that conditioned to take that trip. But since there's an urgency to implement the system already to our client's office located at Lanang Davao City, and so i did went. I bring along one programmer with me to help me monitor the behavior of the system. We did found bugs but we managed to fix it immediately The initial implementation was successful and so far the user's acceptance of the system was positive. After doing implementation, we get the chance to tour a little bit. We went to lots of cafes and resto bar. And most importantly, I got the chance to eat and eat and eat LOL. I really love to eat a lot each time I travel. It's like long trips eats up my energy and inorder to regenerate it, I need to have lots of intakes. We ate pizza's at Damosa, tasted Harana's chicken barbecue best and also the finest meal of Igloo. We also went to tsuru, a japanese restaurant. Their foods were very terrific by the way. After eating at Tsuru, we went to People's Park located at Camus Davao City. It was very nice. They have opened it to public just recently. There are lots of fantastic views in there where you could post and have some pictures on it. Although I was already very drained that night, I still managed to enjoy the views. Our office by the way is located at Bajada Davao City. We occupied the 14th floor of Landco building. From there, you could get a very fanstatic overlooking view of Marco Polo Hotel and others. I love that office. Wish my office here is also like that. I could surely concentrate well and think high often. Overall, that trip was ok. I was even happy because it was a job well done for us. Well, we will just have to wait for our next trip. I'm sure it will be a challenging one again.

Here are some of the pictures that we took. (Mobile Captured)

I miss blogging

I really do miss my blogging here. I was really very occupied these past few days since it's our last days of my summer class and I need to comply all of the requirements given to us. Thank GOD I finished it all and I can relax now. Well that's what I thought :( My boss sent me an email this morning giving me mandate to travel to Davao City as soon as possible. He wanted my presence there within this week to handle the system implementation of Up & Coming Company located in Lanang ,Davao City. I will bring along one programmer with me. We will be travelling to Davao this coming Wednesday and we'll be back here in CDO by Saturday. At least I will be here first week of June. It's my sister's birthday and I think it's enrollment period for 1st semester. Hooray ! I'm now second year and soon I will finish my MBA. Well that is if I pass the comprehensive exam. I miss my classmates but few weeks from now we will see each other again. And we'll surely have lots of funs again. I really enjoyed there company. They were all very warm and passionate. Hmmmm that's all for now I guess. I need to prepare everything for the scheduled system implementation of Up & Coming. For sure I will post my escapades in Davao. I'll try to have lots of pictures in there too and will post some of it here. So please visit me again.Till then.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz ..

Oh My, I feel so sleepy today. I had three cups of coffee already but still the spirit of drowsiness is on me. I gave myself a break from programming and browse youtube site to check on some recent videos. Gladly I found this one and it really made me a little bit awake. It's actually a music video of the song "This Guy's Inlove With You Pare" By Chito Miranda of Paroyka Ni Edgar band. It's so funny. I keep on smiling while watching this video. Watch it and you will surely enjoy it. LOL

It's a Wonderful Monday

Hello. I know I wasn't able to post messages here last week. I got sick but thank GOD I'm doing well now. Although my sleep is a bit disrupted, still I feel great this morning. I was able to do my workout yesterday morning and in the afternoon I was a bit busy eating ice cream and spaghetti together with my family. This week is a challenging week for me. I have receieved additional task from Big Brother (my boss, I'd like to call him that LOL) and that is to construct new web application for a certain client here in CDO. This time we will be focusing more on revising our existing Point Of Sale system to fit user's requirements. We need to finish it on or before end of this month. That means I have 25 days more to go to contruct it huhuhu. Also, I need to finish the Customer Care system which will be deployed and implemented to a certain telecommunication company in Tagum Davao del Norte. Hmmm I think we will be having lots of travels again by the mid of this year. I'll be attending my PBE class tonight at the university. Time passes so quickly that I didn't even notice our summer class will soon end. By June, we will be enrolling again for the 1st semester. My MBA training will be finished soon and I'm really going to miss all my new found friends in there. So while we could still see each other often, we need to savor all our happy moments together. It's like learning at the same time having some fun. Oh I got to go now. I need to answer Big brother's mails. Till my next blog. Bonjour!

Exhausted

I feel so exhausted now. Wish I could do my workout today so I could burn some calories and regain some strength. I wish to do it tonight but I think me and my PBE group mates’ needs to meet to discuss our report for Monday since we couldn't do it tomorrow night. I'm listening to some Bossa Nova songs now but the more I hear it the more I wanted to have some workout. I usually play Bossa Nova when doing some exercise because it helps me relax. I'm doing some programming now for our Hospital Application but my body is aching. I did my workout last Sunday but it has to be twice a week but now I'm just doing it once huhuhu.Before I'm doing it thrice a week. So it doesn't matter if I ate and ate and ate because the calories will be burned anyway. But now I still ate and ate but workout is just once a week. Hmmm maybe that's the reason I'm getting heavier now LOL. Should I go later and meet my group mates? But I really wish to have some workout tonight after office hours. Huhuhu what shall I do??

I feel bad. I forgot I do have other blogsite that needs an update. It's quite hard maintaining lots of site though LOL. But I'm sad because I forgot to maintain that one and it happens to be where my interest revolves, Music :( . Promise, I'll make an update today and upload additional songs for you. I'm on the process of uploading now the songs. I am going to add additional mp3's of ASIN songs and my other Bossa Nova collections. I will try to scan my other collections and will post some of it in there. Free to download but again just for personal entertainment. I don't want to break any rules imposed by blogspot. I want to share what's music for me to all of you. I maybe an old fashion sometimes LOL but I love songs that touches one soul. Hope you will experience it too. Please have sometime to visit my Definitive Collection of Songs later. Visit me again. Thanks.

I had fun @ Duka

Last Saturday was indeed a successful event as we held our annual outing at Duka Bay Resort. I had fun although I didn’t got the chance to do the snorkeling. I just can't :-(. But anyway we did enjoy the event and we've accomplished our primary purpose and that is to do team building. Our CEO was there too and it seemed that he really did enjoyed seeing his people participating in the games that we had prepared especially the "SURVIVOR" game. He even donated additional cash as prizes for the games. It's actually our own rendition of improvising the mechanics of the game "SURVIVOR". We had prepared the obstacles and it was indeed quite hard to perform it. But still all the teams had cooperated besides cash prize is now bigger. The cheering competition was very good too and as what we had promised; before the competition started we presented a cheer dance to them. We had lots of bloopers while doing it but overall it still went well. Foods were great. There were lots of leftovers so most of the people just brought it to their homes. I think I brought some too LOL. Anyway, since I couldn't do swimming at that time, I spend much of my time mingling and talking to people especially to the bosses. Our CEO talked to me and he gave lots of inspirational words. I shared my experiences while studying MBA and he gave lots of advices and wisdom. He even told me to look for a book title "BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY". It's all about management and surviving in a business. Hope I could get a chance to actually read the content of this book. I have lots of plans in the future and I'm preparing myself for it. Well that includes learning a lot while still young. I will start looking for this book in the bookstore and maybe from a friend so I could borrow. By the way, I cut my hair a bit. Applying some hair styles for a change. I feel and look different too. I guess.. I don't know. You be the judge. LOL. Also, below is a picture from DUKA beach. Glad I could post some of it here. Hope you like it. Till my next blog.


DUKA BEACH

HEP! HEP! HOORAY!!

Boy we're too busy practicing our cheering chants for tomorrow's outing event. As the game committee, we need to think of something that could give encouragement to the three teams that will be competing tomorrow. Highlight of the event would be the cheering computation therefore we need to present a cheer dance number as the introductory of the program. Oh my!! My team wanted me to stay in the front and hold a microphone to sing at the same time dance.Gossh I feel too shy doing this but it seemed my team enjoyed it a lot so I guess I just have to let myself do it besides as a team we bond each other more. So this will be our break from all those pressures. Ok Let's sing and dance...!!!


Outing Theme: Hawaiian
Teams: POLU, MELE, ULA


This is our cheer chants.. LOL


(Tune of "Katawan" by Hagibis)
La la la la la la la la ohhhh (2x)
"Lingon agad pag ang POLU ay dumaan
Lalo pa't magaganda ang katawan
At saka nakakalokang tingnan.. "

Go go go go go go go PULO... (2x)

(Coke commercial beat)
"Sila ang team sabay2x
Sila ang team walang sablay
Pabilis ng pabilis
Di nag mimiss, di nag mimiss
Get's mo na? Get's mo na?
Ahhhhhhh, Ula Ula.."

(Tune of "Wowowee by Lito Camo")
"Wowowee sila ang team Mele Mele
Dahil sa team nato ay di ka magsisi
Wowowee lamang ba ang Mele Mele?
Yan ang aabangan ng marami.."

(Tune of "Name Game by Laura Branigan")
"Come on everybody.
We say now let's play a game.
We betcha we can make a rhyme
Out of anybody's name.
The first letter of the name
We treat it like it wasn't there.

But a "P" or a "U" or a "M" will appear.

Ok, let's try POLU
Pulo2x popolu bonana fanna popolu
fipay momolu
POLU!!

How about Mele?
Mele Mele popole bonana fanna popole
Fipay momole
MELE!!

Fipay mumula
