Business Administration


Sir Macarayo gave us an assignment last meeting which will be passed on Tuesday, June 30, 2009. As far as I can remember, the instruction was to look for a particular organization, describe its structure, market, products and how it operates. I’m not sure of what I’ve heard but I think it each group should provide a printout for it and a powerpoint presentation. He will pick in random 3 groups who will present in front. I’m not really knowledgeable about this one so I apologize cause I won’t be entertaining inquiries. That’s all I’ve heard and if there is someone who knows the complete details, please leave a comment and tell everybody what you know, okay? I Hpe that’s clear :)

Network Administration


Last meeting our mentors had activities the yneed to attend and Sir Laud apparently was not able to hold our class. He just informed some of us that we got an assignment to do and that is to research about “dynamic routing” and print it in a short bond paper. He was not really specific about that so I think we may just do anything about it as we please. It will be passed next meeting, same date as the first one.

I don’t recall anything about haviing homeworks for our Probability and Statistics subject, I think Maam Casquejo wasn’t around last time.

I hope this makes everyone aware of what needs to be done. That’s all :)

Yesterday, me and other two classmates went to smash n drop to make a reservation for two badminton courts. As we were inquiring about their schedule, to our surprise, the only vacant time was on a freakin early morning at 7am-9am. The first thing that popped on my mind was, are we gonna  be able to wake up early? Will the others agree with the idea and won’t back out? Well, we sure did took the reservation and informed the others. So we recruited other possible companions and we got two of them.

So the morning came in. I had a short sleep, still have heavy eyes but the alarm clock on my cellphone won’t keep buzzing me, because technically that’s what is for - to get your ass up on time! So I prepared my things, took a bath, ate my breakfast, sipped my milo etcetera etcetera and packed up. It’s 30 minutes before 7 and I left home early and a bit excited. So I got to the place and I was assuming that my colleagues were already there. As I get the door knob and push, it won’t open. So there I was standing in front of the door waiting for the establishment to open and for my classmates to arrive. Just so you know, I was the first early bird there because we made a pact that whoever comes in late will pay for the shuttlecock.

I’ve waited few more minutes and suddenly the smash n drop man asked if I’ll play and go inside. He opened the door but I didn’t get inside because I want somebody to get in there first, and so there was some middle aged ladies who came, well good for them they come in at their set time. So few minutes passed and Karlo Sobiaco suddenly stepped out from his car. We went inside and warmed up and John Egon Asuncion arrived. The next one who came in was Abdul Abzkan, one of the new player followed by the labeled late comer Charlemagne Panes.  We played in two courts simultaneously and suddenly Sharellyn Enriquez who showed interest and enthusiasm to play when she was informed stepped foot on the premises together with her cousin. So the game was on with the seven of us. Brylle Cambronero who was present the other week didn;t make it and so was Keith who said he had some injuries in his feet he couldn’t join. Anyway, Abz did good for his first time playing, so was Sharellyn. but not her cousin. Little by little have her opponents knew that she’s into tennis and that explains her expertise in whipping off the racket with unusual strength for a woman. I can say taht for a varsity tennis player like her, she got a strong arm and athletic body that can keep up with the Charlemagne and the others.

It was couple of hours playing badminton and as usual, we head off to the mall to cool down. We bought some drink and strolled around. They went with me in the CD-R King Gaisano South to buy  a UTP cable for my router to PC connection and a DVD-R. We had some talk and tripped Sharellyn with some text messages involving Brylle. After more than an hour we decided to go home but I suddenly got the feeling that there were some miscalculations done by that CD-R King girl who seemed to be infected with Ah1n1 because she keeps coughing and coughing. Of course who Am I to judge?I’m not from the department of health..hehehe. So I had my business dealt and we headed home separately and bid good bye to each other.

I’m enjoying doing this every Saturday and I hope this goes on regular. I wanna practice more, improve my skills and of course sweat off and get pumpin! Hmm.. Next week again! :)

Few days ago, we were designated to our groups and asked to do a reporting this day. We were assigned to go for the Spanish Colonial Era of the Philippine literature, a freaking long and detailed topic. I had my contribution research written down in an index card and handed it over to Bernil Jane Salarda who’s gonna do her thing. I’ve also politely asked Mavis Joy Ibanez to prepare a visual aid for the presentation. So this day came. We had so many things to deal with and the subject was quite neglected and the tasks that was supposed to be done was incomplete and taken for granted.

When the first reporter was finished, we were next, but our representative bernil wasn’t around. She was with our another mentor to discuss some matters regarding our schedule in our ethics class. So, to my surprise, I was brutally and harassedly forced to do the presentation which I was not supposed to. I was babbling and pretending to be paniced to buy some time but hell our teacher raised her voice saying “I” give you all 65 if nobody goes in front and report.” Oh my God! So with my groupmates staring and yellin at me, I brought myself into the front and started to do what I must. I started off just fine when suddenly our teacher asked me a question and I was not able to answer it because I tought I did not know. She started counting numbers so that my other colleagues would help me out but nobody did :(. All of a sudden Bern appeared out of nowhere and was lucky to answer the question. Well, to clear things out, I have mentioned the explanation right before I started talking inf front and maybe our teacher was not aware or listening because of the freakin noise and disturbances.

Bern carried on the reporting with the powerpoint presentation that we do not own and tried her best to explain the ideas in there. It ended with the conclusion of our teacher asking us whether to repeat and refine our presentation next meeting or just pittifully accept a grade of 65. So we chose the obvious and the reporting resumed to the next group.

I’m absolutely not blaming anybody and I’m just fine with what happened. Things like that happen and its part of learning not only academically but as a person, allowing you to grow.

I’m planning to have a nice long and early rest this night because tomorrow is another day of fun at Smash n Drop with my classmates, we’ll be playing badminton again! Wanna join and feel my wrath?hahaha.. joke :)

Konohninja, signing off…

We have recieved a word from people around us yesterday that this day the faculty of our school is having an activity, something like conference/forum/meeting or whatever. Schedules were shortened in reverse, it was supposed to push the schedules late but they moved it earlier. We attended classes but none seemed to be regular, most of our teachers had errands to deal with and just left us with some activities and assignments. Anyway we were required to pass a progress report for our thesis in Systems Analysis and Design which took a while of our time. I left school early in the afternoon and went to the mall to buy something. I got home early, had a quick nap and woke up. I checked my stuff over the web and ended up watching video tutorials for C#. I’m starting to practice C# because it’s gonna be the language we’ll be using for our thesis program. I’m happy that I’m feeling great because I hated C# because of its complexities but it turned out that with dedication and a learning tools, you’ll like it and you just have fun.

Well, I’ll be off blogging now because I got an assignment to do and I have to do it right now so I can pass it tomorrow! :)

This morning, I received a yahoo messenger conference invitation from my classmate, i joined it. The talk was about the assignment in technopreneurship and a plan to watch Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. So there I was few minutes past 11am at NCCC mall of davao waiting for my classmates. To my surprise, the agreed rendezvous time was at 10:30 but only one big man was standing there, it was Jopal Matthew Dumanig. Because the others haven’t arrived yet, I decided to go together with Jopal to globelines to pay half of my internet bill (I brought it with me). After which we walked back to the meeting place and there was the macho nerd there, Ronald Borla sitting on the food court. Few minutes past and little by little have our classmates arrived. Together with me aside from the names mentioned above were Abzkan Abdul, Bryle Cambronero, Karlo Jesus Sobiaco, Sean Lester Benitez,Patrick John Yap, Jan Benedict pilapil, Paul Mark Barsarsa, and Jenver Puno. When we no longer have anyone to wait for, we immediately went to the theater to buy some tickets. As we entered the cinema, we discovered we missed some of the trailers but we managed to catch GI Joe. So we sat back and feel the unending freezing breeze of the place. We were excited back then and it continues as the show began.


Movie Summary (absolutely no spoilers)

The movie started off with the ancient time 17000 B.C. showing a group of people discovering the existence of the Robots we call the Transformers and a mayhem caused by the decepticons in China. I won’t elaborate much about the details but some of the exciting parts of the movies includes Sam’s mom being emotional for getting into college, Sam discovered that he had a small piece of shard from the cube left in his jacket’s packet, started seeing symbols in foreign language which eventually lead to the creation of new decepticons which nearly put their house in the ruins, but bumble bee came in to rescue. The situation gets a little emotional with bumble bee crying with falling fake tears. So sam went into his boarding house and met the computer geek bunk mate. He met this chick which actually was a decepticon in human form which was revealed on the middle part of the movie, attacking Sam, his girlfriend and his bunk mate who joined the adventure. Pentagon was shaken when a new man given the authority from the president to carry out orders started banishing out the autobots. The villain robots were up to reviving all their fallen comrades (including Megatron), resume invading the earth and bring their leader named “fallen” to earth to strengthen their force and rule. Series of funny events started to show up as Sam’s Bunk mate made humorous mistakes. Sam, almost got killed by three decepticons was rescued by Optimus Prime, which sadly ended with the enemy’s success leaving the leader of the autobots dead. On their way to uncover the secrets of other robots which were already on the planet earth long ago, they met an old rude decepticon who turned side to the autobots and made friends with Sam and the others. One of the decepticons created on the Sam’s house incident also turned side and started flirting with Mikaela (Sam’s girlfriend). The oldie has the ability to teleport, bringing him and the others to Egypt, the place where Sam’s vision of symbol points to. It is where the matrix, something that can bring a dead robot to life and power up a destructive machine which was sealed somewhere by the clan of Primes . They must find it before the enemy does to prevent them from using the machine and use the matrix to revive optimus prime. They accidentally found it but it became powder, poured it in a glove, pulled few strings from the pentagon to bring optimus prime to egypt. Enormous enemies started to arrive, some were super gigantic, ready for their mission. Lots of explosions and firing and amazing visual effects took over. Because Sam was far away from where optimus prime was dropped, they must reach there safely with the powdered matrix to revive optimus prime, the last living descendant of his clan who is the only one capable of defeating “fallen”. So the shooting went on and unfortunately Sam was badly hit, making him dead, but only for a while. In his dream a group of Primes talked to him and woke him back to life. The powdered matrix suddenly shaped back to its original form, and so Sam stroke it to Optimus’ spark and revived him. Shortly after optimus was back, fallen came in and stole the matrix, while optimus prime struggled for a fight against many enemy. The old rude decepticon who was dying offered his power and body parts to him, making a new and even bigger and stronger optimus prime. The matrix has been placed to the destructive machine but optimus prime blew it with a powerful shot. Another tremendous fight emerged which concluded to Fallen’s death and Optimus Prime’s victory. Megatron, damaged and wasted immediately escaped and said “this isn’t over yet”..hmmm.. smell’s like another sequel..hehehe

Well, that’s all the movie is all about, I hope I didn’t spoil you..hahaha… ;P

Today is just like any other day in my life. I attended school, listened to the teacher’s lessons, and of course copied assignments. Well, there was something with the assignment that is already usual to us yet class a hs united again to join forces against the invasion of probstat assignment. Our teacher gave it to us last week but no one dared to answer it, you know. Arinstar was flooded with lads babbling and complaining about the assignment. Well it was a fast one, we made haste because we were up against time and when you race with it, there is a big chance of losing.hahaha. And so we entered the room late and got ourselves scholded. amf. Anyway we learned another new lesson in our computer networks administration, everybody got puzzled about ip routing because it was hell of a task. It was fun though.

When I got home, we celebrated our housemate’s birthday. There were cakes, ice cream, spaghetti and softdrinks. I’m very full rigth now I could puke..hehehe. I ended up watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King, I have finished watching the first two and I was halfway on the last one. I eventually finished it and I was greatful because now I almost understand everything about the story, just so you know, I already watched it on the television but I didn’t understand it. Just want to share I like it more than Harry Potter and that freakin silly High School Musical,hahahaha!

I’ve got to go now because there are people who are asking for my help which I would gladly offer if ever I can. Have a nice night folks!

Well well well. What do we have to say today? hmm… Just a couple of things about us being seniors. Our class is now officially on the senior year and today is the first of becoming physically one. Well actually me and some have already wore the uniforms during our OJT and we have also dressed up with it for a little while during the enrolment.

Just today, we wore our very formal and elegant senior’s uniform with smiles on our faces, some even stroke poses and took pictures. Excitement and confusion were clouding up our minds yesterday and this morning whether to wear it or just the normal school uniform. It has been confirmed and so we put in what we are supposed to.

So there we were in the school, strolling around concious and a little shy about our outfits. If you have seen our faces, we were utterly struggling because it doesn’t feel comfy at all when you’re outside the laboratory, it is like hell is upon us…joke! hahahaha. Anyway, the blazzers are of great use because it can make our body heat up and prevent hypothermia from the freezing air conditioner of the laboratory and dark room.

The excitement didn’t end there because class a cat walked to Penong’s with most of our Blazzers on. Some even displayed it at the People’s park after the dinner. I am a bit happy and my hopefullness was lifted up into some degree when we had our software engineering class where I tried to bring back my memories in c# programming and grouped ourselves for developing an inventory software which wis actually a big help for our thesis in Systems Analysis and Design. Thank you Lord for helping us out… Good luck everybody and please do your best with the project because our group might be needing your outputs… :)

Whew…So many tasks and assignments await us tomorrow, that’s all for today! signin’ off from blogging world. Have a nice rest everyone!

Whoa! hahaha. It’s been really quite a while since I posted an article here. Well, I’m kind of busy these days and I hate to say this but I have disappeared in the blogging world for some time. Just want to make this blog keep kickin’ and pumpin that’s why I have been reincarnated! hahahaha.lol?! I have so many things I wanna to talk and bable about for the past months filled with mixed emotions brought by distress and happiness. Hmmm Maybe we’ll get to that as soon as I have replenished my blogging desires. ;P

Well here’s the story of the day. I feel so freakin tired right now I could sleep like oil if not disturbed by noisy environment [if you get what I mean->F****** neighbors]. As I hit every key on the keyboard typing this post, I could hardly do it because my hand has lost so much energy and I think it’s going to have a muscle pain soon. I played badminton this afternoon at Smash ‘n Drop together with Karlo Jesus Sobiaco, Joseph Brylle Cambroniro, John Egon Asuncion, Charlemagne Panes and Keith John Laquinon for three straight hours which was supposedly only a couple of hour. I flooded my body with stinkin sweat and powered up my muscles. I think might be getting slight muscle pain tomorrow unlike the past three weeks where I played with the other three of my colleagues mentioned above. I drank two bottles of mineral water and a tropicana twister to replenish my body from the lost budy fluids due to physical exertion. It was a nice game with the star players Keith and Charle who had a single match with Keiths cousin at stake and I don’t kow what it would have been for charle. hahahaha! You really tried your best Keith anyway, you even argued with the scores.nyahahaha. After the game I went straight to Kasagingan Torres to meet up some of my friends and classmates namely Joseph Rey Sator, Sharellyn Enriquez, Paul Lawrenz Estrebillo and Mark Anthony Panganoron who were making there Systems Analysis and Design Thesis and picked up a UTP cable from Joseph Rey sator for my home network. I wasn’t supposed to make tambay there but hell I got stuck there talking to them with the cool air of the aircondition that soothed me and made me feel cozy. So we had some nice talk. I didn’t know if it was hunger that brought the idea of going out somewhere with pizzas and stuff but all of a sudden we decided to go for it. So we ditched Kasagingan and had a long walk to the mall and found ourselves on the line for Chucky’s free taste afterwhich we went and started ordering at Pizza Hut. We ate and had a talk again and also had a hard time slicing the pizzas into peices to fit our number. Finally we got a hold of ourselves and made it but Sharelllyn who was like giggling while passing me my peice, suddenly dropped it into the table. Amf! Well it still tasted good you know..hahahaha. I’m pretty sure they had their tables there sprayed with scientifically engineered bacteria fighting solutions. hahaha. After that we departed ways as they were heading to Raquel’s Apparels for their uniform issues and I went to the department store to stroll around and bought something. I was really exhausted but I still managed to hop on different stores…hahahaha. I gues that’s what they call adrenaline, but isn’t that supposed to get released while I was playing? Anyway, I headed straight home, had my dinner and finally got a rest lying on my bed in fornt of my laptop, checking my ikariam, facebook and stuff and making a post to share! :)

I’m so damn sleepy now so I should be resting soon for I have another day ahead! Have a good rest everybody!
