The following Definitions of HUman REsource Management/ Personnel Management:

1. In any organization, there has to be someone concerned with the welfare and performance of persons who are a part of the operation.

CRITICS:

All the definitions are all concerned on the welfare and performance of the employees. The number one definition, tackle about the policies of the company in which naturally followed by the employee. This policies are for the benefits of both party.

The second definition tells about the importance of the human resource in the company, it tells that they are the assets of the company. in addition, without them, everyday business functions such as managing cash flow, making business transactions, communicating through all forms of media, and dealing with customers could not be completed. Humans and the potential they possess drive an organization. Thus, human resource management works to ensure that employees are able to meet the organization's goals.

While the Third one, tells about benefits of the employee he can get from the company as a payment for the rendered service. It deals compensation, wellness and safety in which all that are the reason why people. The safety must be concerned of the company for in the field of work it accidents prone area, it identifies how the company treasure their employees.

The forth one it defines who are the concerned of the personnel management it covers all the employees it might be top executives down below as long as it works in the company and gave services. It also states how the employment starts, which begin on recruitment to scrutinize whose applicant is/are capable on the job.

The last definition tells about the proper treatment to the employee. People must taking good care in th e organization for they are the one work hard for the improvement and successful of the business or in the organization. The company should find something to motivates its employees for more productiveness and competitiveness.

As a last statement about this topic i say that Human Resource Management(HRM) must treasure its employees and build a good relationship in both parties-employee-employer relationship that the has a main goal of helping each other for the improvement of the company.

OUR group interviewed Mrs. Florita L. Oliqario, a HRMO personnel of City Hall. We asked about their concept on the nature of their HRM, she said that they believed that employees are the asset of the company. They give so much assistance and care on their employees. She said at first, when they just got started, their HRM focused limited only on the hiring, recruitment and firing. But, as the time goes by, they decided to expand their functions and management, because now they cater everything which involves about employment and the employees.

they improved their division into many elements which cater the needs of the employees. They have personnel planning department, personnel selection, personnel benefits and welfare, and Human Resource Development Division. These is done for the reason of making a good department and to have the better employees in their company.

The government employees enjoy the benefits like good salary and big incentives. They received their payrolls ahead of time, they can get their salaries through ATM and receives at 10th day of the month and 25th day of the month. it is for the reason that they want to provide a good assisstance on their employeees. She said they have incentives like having a free travel package of php 300 in Davao city and a salo-salo package which they have an allowance of php 100 each. they also have semi-annually evaluation and giving of rewards on their best employee. According to here that they lived on the saying about recruitment that "they accept applicants not of whom they know but what ability of applicants possess". The recruitment process is not easy comply, because applicants should be a competitive all aspects in order to pass on their qualification and be employed. They also have trainings on the regular employees for them to be more competitive and updated about the new facilities and new process. She said that they were strictly said that their employees were trained to face their clients nicely and sincerely, like what they have done to us. they valued their costumers so much. The facilities on the City Hall is very nice because the work place is air conditioned, they have a table and chair for each employee and each personnel possesses a computer with an Internet connection! whahhh! its really very nice to be employed their.

She said that their HRMO is more than enough on her expectation. She is very satisfied on their HRM in City hall.


In my view they have really a best treatment of their employees. Each employee are very happy and satisfied in their job. Because they are really taking good care of the company. the company treated them when they have done a good job in the company to boost up more their eagerness and competitiveness in their work. if you will have a work place like that you may really above to stay in that job. Your service is paid earlier even the service is not yet done. wheew here in the city you can find a company like that! So its really better to get a job in the government office and enjoys their benefits!

cheers

04:00pm


Now, is our schedule for visiting our chosen company. We actually do not know what to ask for, because when I asked other group about their interview in their company, they were not really given a nice output. Because their company said, there is nothing to change they have a perfect HRIS in their company. This was the reason I have nothing to say to them. But, because of my enthusiasm, my confident came back.

When we went to our interviewee’s table, he pasted a nice smile, even though we were late. Hehehe. We had our test in OR and it consumed most of our time, that’s the reason why we were late. We explained this to him, and he said its ok, because he just finished his another interview with other student in ADDU, in which we met in the aisle of the city hall.

In our interview, he didn’t deny that they still lacking in their office and that is a website. Based on the interview conducted, he said that they difficulty on having communication with their other transaction with other offices because of not having an access to the said office. He said they tried to make one that might be developed next year.

And we come up to our project. We decided to make a website proposal. After this, we have our snacks outside (street foods). Jovy (one of groupmate) and I decided to attend the mass. And the others went home.

We went to our chosen company to ask there available time about the interview, but unfortunately the said interview was not granted for the reason that he and some of the employees have there practice, practice of something we don’t know. Instead, we set another schedule and he was so pleased to do so. We agreed that interview will be done on Monday afternoon after our class, in which he give his benevolent approval, even he is still very busy at that time but still he was so kind-hearted to please us.

We actually planned our visit day before it was September 10,2008 at the same time but the other group in which he have the same chosen company were set to go there, so we give way (how generous! Chaka lng gud). Our visit is not a waste of time because he gave us their company brochure about their goals, objectives, and brief summary of company history and so on and so forth. That gave us idea how to our first draft in the HRM project.

After we have a short discussion about the information we gathered we go home prepared for our test for the next day. Gud day to all!!!!bleeh

AUGUST 30,2008
SATURDAY
11:00AM

On this day is the second day of the “BPO-HUMAN RESOURCE RECRUITMENT FORUM”, actually the forum was good for three consecutive days. The forum is really helpful for all the applicants that want to work in the country but serving people outside the Philippines, which we called “BPO (Business Processing Outsourcing)”. Most of the speakers were from the call center side. This is well promoted by their representative, they said call center jobs is very efficient jobs for Filipinos, because we know the language and we are good in entertaining the customers and aside from that we are very patient to them. The benefits being a call center agent are the following: big salary, many incentives and it easy being promoted, aside from that you may also become very fluent on the language more.

There is also job that suits to our course the technical representative, this job is just fixing their computer at home by not actually being their, you may have instruct them what to do and just merely communication to both of you, and then presto! Problem solved. The speaker said the pay is higher than the sales agent.

Their HRM is very good; before they were exposed to work they will be having trainings and orientation about the job you will be taken. After being employed and become regular the management acquire to have a team building for you to have a unity among your group and enjoy even sometimes. Their performance is being monitored always if you have the highest or top sales and performance you may receive something special from the company even to your group were good it has affiliated reward. But if you have a poor performance you will not get fired immediately instead you will undergone again trainings, the chances of being employed in this job is very wide.

The forums also introduce another job that do not have require you to out your house instead work at home, which is the medical transcription. This job is a job in which you have to convert voice message into written message. There has one speaker a blind that is a medical transcriptionist. It is very convenient to anyone who has the computer and Internet, what you need aside from having those devices is your hearing and some sort of learning about medical terminologies and functions. But if you were not a medical literate you may undergo trainings in some of the center whose offer medical transcription jobs.

I learned in the forum I attended is that, jobs are everywhere what you need to do is just find jobs appropriate to you. You may apply online and got interviewed also online, because there is lot of jobs hiring in the Internet and application is through online.

It made your lives easy because of these jobs that is way the Davao promoting these for giving jobs to all Davaoeños.

The forum at the same time jobs fair but jobs offered where jobs about having works outside the country while staying in here. The booth also has their assimilations in which we tried and we enjoyed it. Sir Randy S. Gamboa was also present in the forum but on afternoon only and he also encourage us to listen and ask questions, in which we did. Hehehe all in all its really a new experience to me who haven’t tried any job experienced.

We go home full with new learnings and have a enjoyable experience!!!! Until next time free forums and seminars in HRM, we are looking forward for that.

SEPTEMBER 5-6,2008

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY


This is our IC festival but we still have lot of paperwork to comply in HRM. This day we presented our Gannt chart because yesterday Sir Gamboa is not around and our Gannt chart was not check yet, so the checking was done Friday morning. But instead of having fully enjoying we revise our Gannt chart. After being checked, some of my groupmates went to our adapted company to ask permission to conduct again an interview and observation about the proposed HRIS that is the HRM project.


FESTIVAL EVENT:

This is my unforgettable festival because it left me a reward worth remembering!

The reward I got was a wound on my forehead because we played “Patentiro”. This game is not really part of the festival games it just our pastime. We don’t join any activities that are way we try to keep ourselves busy, so we decided to play patentiro. At first it’s good and enjoyable until the accident. Huhuhu it really hurt so badly. My classmate and I bumped each other. My forehead bumped into the teeth of my classmate. I got small gush while she got her teeth aching. But now I’m ok, no serious damage it just the shame I got, Im to old to play and its inappropriate in my age. Huhuhu its really embarrassing.

As what other said, its still a long day, so enjoy supporting our classmates and schoolmates on their game. We played volleyball too but just for fun not for competition.

At night is really cool even no faculty as side from one who just visit a while still it really fun. The jokes and jingles about our failures and our tremendous experiences in our college, though embarrassing but that is truth and we have no choice but accept it and try it again. We were have really good time.


10 THINGS THAT BRING SUCCESS

- Thursday, September 4, 2008


10.MAKING RIGHT CHOICES NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT.
Living in the right ways is not easy it is difficult to pass through. It needs lot of perseverance and faith. After surpassing all of the circumstances, as a return you may build self-respect and the respect of others.





9.BEING GENEROUS!
Being generous not all by means of money, it may also one of the factor but not as a whole. You may be generous by simply give the gifts of your precious time and amazing abilities to others.




8.WORKING HARD AT SOMETHING YOU LIKE OR THAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU.

The same with the saying " do your best, and God will be the rest". Accomplishing your work will make you feel good. You will have no worry and cramming for tomorrow comes.

7. STARTING OVER AFTER MAKING MISTAKES.
We must have to bear in mind that last night is just a part of yesterday and today is another day and a new start. Greatness is not measurable by your accomplishments and achievements, it is how you stand up everything you fall. Overcoming on one’s failure is a vast gift for your self. It is good to fail as long as you know how to cope with it, and later, you will know what to do next.





6. CHOOSING GOOD FRIENDS.
It is better to have one good friend that you can lean and rely on in times of need, than to have a millions in name only. In choosing a friend be cautious for there are some may use you for their security sake, and be vigilant even to your best friend as what the saying says, "your best friend is also your best enemy" for they know most of your secrets and weakness that he may use that to defeat you or falls you down.

5. LOVING OTHERS IN SPITE OF THEIR FAULTS.
This kind of love is the highest form of loving. Loving in which you are willing to get rid your pride to accept his/her real identity in spite and despite of his/her shortcomings. Loving without boundaries and limitations is what all been searching for, because it is one in one hundred you may find the right partner that may have you through thick and thin.


4. LIVING PEACEFULLY WITH OTHERS.
Conflicts robs you energy and motivation. This means that conflict brings nothing but notary chaos to you and to others. Peace of mind is the best sleeping pill.


3. BELIEVING THAT GOD LOVES YOU.
If you truly love God you will not limit your self on to Him, in such a way that you will believe on him in times of danger and asking to Him. You as the Christian should know Him and love Him. You will not leave Him in times of good harvest instead you must more be thankful and believing Him more" (Romans 5:80).


2.TALKING TO GOD IN PRAYER.
(Get real with Him. He knows what is your heart desires). It is good to communicate with god every day, it’s like sharing your burdens, agony, pain, boredom and problems with Him. He is willing to help you in times you are in need. God is the best friend to have, because His everything.


1.DISCOVERING GODS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE.
(He has the best plan.). Allow Him to enter in your life and live according to His will.


29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

A letter of the Daughter

-


Dear Mama,



Ma, I am just a damn daughter to you, I just destroyed your dreams, ruin your life and gives you a miserable life instead of fairytale living. I am the black sheep of the family and a burden to you. I always do things I want. Yeah, I knew it that it hurts you, I always wanted to hurt you in that way I can take my revenge to you. Do you know why? It is because you don’t have time for me. You don’t see my importance as your daughter instead you just keeping me to be one of your followers that follow everything you say with open arms and with a head bow down.
I always take you for granted and if hard days comes you always there, but still I despised you. I really don’t care about what you fell at all; I just care of myself alone, care and listening just myself alone. I never tried to listen to your reminders, requests and counsels instead discard it and retort to you instead. I give you shit for your goodness and take you a way every time you come near to me, I build a barrier between us. Everything I give to you is heartaches, agonies and pains. I always ask but return you nothing, you always tried to be good but instead of thanking you, I do discriminate and rebut you.
I always get you upset for the reason of catching your attention and likewise to Papa. I just want you to know I’m here, hello!?. I’m here in front of you knocking that please notice me notice the good in me not my clumsiness, failures and rudeness. And still you don’t hear it. That’s way I keep on doing bad things and shows it to you. Yeah, it’s very effective, I have you for a meantime, at last you notice me, you talk to me, I fell that you are here again with me. I love looking your furious and despising gaze. In that time I can have an eye contact with you. I have you and you have me too.
You know Ma, I’m just jealous to others, whom have a great family bonding. They were very happy in each other’s company, you can see it in their faces. They are very sweet to each other they share jokes, opinions and everything about their experiences on that day, they talks as if there’s no tomorrow. They laugh together and very very happy. Does it happen to us? No it didn’t. I can’t remember that we’ve undergone that. What we usually do is fighting and insulting each other. I haven’t heard you say that you love me even ones. I don’t remember that you hug me tight and kissing me. You are very cold and numb. You are very busy of your business and go home late and tired. Most of the time when your home you’re scolding us if not your sleeping, you really don’t have time for us. You want us to understand you, but youdid not tries to understand us too?
Ma I do love you, I really do. It just you are very hard to approach because there once I tried to come near to you and started to be sweet to you, you haven’t like it instead you said do you want something? You know Ma it crushed me into pieces, I said to myself I will never do it again, I don’t want another embarrassments again. There was one time when I gave you a letter, its valentines day and our teacher asked us to wrote a valentines card and gave it to the one we love. So, I decided to make one and thinking that you would like and appreciate it but what had happen was you take it for granted and put it somewhere and it was blown away. Starting that day on, I promised myself never to make a letter again address to you. Because it truly hurts ma, it crushed me to death, it’s like being toasted in the oven toaster, and the feeling of neglecting is what really I felt that time. Even through I was in elementary years that time, I matured a lot from that experienced, I still can’t forget it, it always come back in my memory. There was once also that I tried to be nice with you and trying to be sweet through hugging and kissing you but you get angered with me because you were very tired that time and you don’t want somebody to disturbed you. That time also I started to hate you for ignoring my effort. I thought that you would be glad of what I did, I just try to ease your wearisome, but you take me a way. I’m afraid to you because you are cold-hearted Ma. You never tried to come near to me, talk to me and exchanging thoughts with me. You do no action for us to be in good terms again. Based on the things I remembered to you when I was in my childhood days that you are always busy of going somewhere you don’t have time for us that’s way that if they asked me "kinsa imong ganahan si mama o si papa?", my answer is always "si Papa" because his always there for me, he hug and kiss me always, I found by importance in papa’s arm. I don’t remember any good times between us, I always remember from you that you are kuripot and busy, but still I love you. I know that I don’t have right to question you, you are my mother you deserve my love and respect. Who I am by the way, I am just your daughter that dependent still to you, in short a burden.
Ma I’m sorry for every bad things I’ve done, I mention above my reasons I hope that that you may forgive meI love you so much!


Loving you so much,
Your Prodigal Daughter.

SEPTEMBER 3-4, 2008

This is the day that the group decided to make our Gannt chart. We haven’t do the Gannt chart early because no one ( my BSIT-3 evening class before) have the idea what a Gannt chart is, and Sir Gamboa didn’t explain so much about it. Sir Gamboa let us discover it by our self. When some of my classmates ( third year regular) finished their projects, that’s the only time that we got an idea what a Gannt Chart is, what for.
He made our Gannt chart in my boarding house while we were making the project we tried to enjoy ourselves, even it is not easy to schedule your activities still things run out smoothly and good.
When we were already done, my group mate volunteered to pass it. And at exactly Sept. 04, 2008 at 4:45pm.
unfortunately Sir Gamboa was not around so we decided to left it in his table!!!

OCTOBER 02,2008
1:00-6:00PM.
SATURDAY



This is my most awaiting time, our last meeting in our subject. It’s not actually that classes are already ended, but kindly like that. It happens because our teacher believes that learning is not only found inside the classroom but also learn how to live in the real world. Instead of having a class discussion about theories and a mere imagination about the topic discussed, why don’t we have it in reality? This is how our subject HRM in USEP under Sir Randy S. Gamboa being held.
We do have an actual class outside the university by having visit companies asked, observed and learned strategies that best used to get hired and being a good and productive asset of a company we will be hosting someday. Its not only let us just be a merely dumped flaunt but to be a responsible worker to whom that we might get served. The said activity molds us at the same time processing us to eat our ass, oops its not what like that.@#$ I mean to be people what we meant to be.
We do have miss conception if we may say life is just a piece cake, this is one of my learnings, like asking for a favor from a top people for allowing the group lend their time and talent for entertaining the group requirements (to conduct interview into the assigned topic). The feeling is like a bread in a oven toaster, you are being toast in their gazes and throws questions. But all of these gives an idea how to behave next in facing people it might be just a simply an employee or the big bosses. Our patience and perseverance is being test, until such time that it take like hell. In such a way that you almost losing your hope, for in real world, asking favor needs much effort and style to win the heart of the people you need the most.
I also learned to create some sorts of lies just to catch their intention, like listening to what they have said even its half-truth, you still have to keep focus and interested, sometimes you must have to throws compliments to boost their egos and win their hearts.
However, it helps me realize that all we are doing of today affects our future. Thanks to you sir for taking off the blindfolds, the blindfolds that covers our eyes for quite so long. Keep going sir and have a nice day to you. And also to my classmates and everyone that might accidentally read this hope that you enjoy reading all my sentiments! Have a better life ahead to all of us!

STAY POSITIVE. Work towards maintaining an optimistic attitude and interacting with others in productive ways. Be accepting and tolerant of yourself and others.


GO TO CLASS. Attendance in class brought to be one of your top priorities. Your academic success and successful stress management is dependent upon good attendance.

STAY FOCUSED. Academic life requirements to focus and concentrate. Work to avoid and reduce things that interfere with your concentration.

FREE TIPS IMPROVING STUDYING RESULTS


STUDY IN SHORT, FREQUENT SESSIONS.

It has been proven that short burst of concentration repeated frequently are much effective than one long session. So, even if you have 10 minutes, do it. Take a break. Then study another 10 minutes. This Distributed Learning approach is highly efficient because it honors the way the brain likes to work. The brain needs recovery and recharging time for “protein synthesis”. The rest periods are when your brain assimilates your effort. They are powerful tool, which many teachers do not acknowledge. To sit and study for hours and hours is not only boring, it creates fatigue, stress and distraction. You cannot learn if you are fatigue, stressed and distracted.


TAKE GUILT-FREE DAYS OF REST.

This follows the same principle as above, but on a longer daily time cycle. The reason for resting is to refresh oneself. However, if you feel guilty (“I really cant study) then, your precious rest period has been used to create more stress. The brain will not absorb new data if it is stressed. On days off from studying, really enjoy yourself and do not feel bad about studying.


HONOR YOUR EMOTIONAL STATE.

Do not study if you are tired, angry, distracted or in a hurry. When the brain is relaxed, it is like a sponge and it naturally absorbs data without effort. If you are emotionally stressed your brain literally repels data. Forcing yourself to sit and study when your mind is on other thing is a complete waste of time!

REVIEW THE SAME DAY.

When you learn something new, try to go over the points and then make
efforts to review the material it will seem much familiar. However, quick reviews later in the day tend to cement the information into your brain so that next “official” studies session; you will recognize it and it will seem easy.


5.OBSERVE THE NATURAL LEARNING SEQUENCE.

Think of the activities you did when you were in nursery school. Using your whole arm, you probably the song goes: “put your right hand in, put your right hand out”. Then, in kindergarten, using your hand, you might have been asked to draw lines or circles with crayons. Later, in first grade, now holding the pencil with your fingers, you drew smaller lines and circles to create letters. Believe it or not, this natural learning sequence, moving from large to small, coarse to fine, still remains effective even though we are now older. When you study, if you try first to grasp the big picture and then fill in the details, you often have a more likely chance of success.


USE EXAGGERATION.

Why does a baseball batter warm up by swinging two or three bats? Why do runners sometimes strap lead weights to their legs? In both cases, exaggeration during practice makes the final result seem easy. This concept can be applied on studying anything. For example, if you are studying spelling, exaggerate the sound of the letters to help you remember them. So for studying purposes “naïve” would be pronounced “NAY-IVY”. By getting, used to this exaggerated pronunciations, the correct spelling seems obvious.

PREPARE YOUR STUDY ENVIRONMENT.

If you require certain elements in your environment to help you study, try to always make this priority. For example, do you need special lightning, silence, music, privacy, available snacks, etc.? Pay attention to what works for you and repeat it each time you study for best success.

RESPECT “BRAIN FADE”.

It is normal for the brain to have an attrition rate and forget things. This does not mean that you are stupid! Instead of getting mad about this fact, you should expect it and deal with it accordingly. See your self as the depositing layers of knowledge. As you place more attention on top, the lower levels become older and less available to your immediate recall. The trick her is simply to review. Since we can anticipate the eventual fading of our memory, creating a review aspect to your study session will solve the problem. Once every two or three study sessions, simply review older material that you will still need to remember. Often, a quick overview is sufficient. Sometimes, a complete detailed study session of the older material is required. “Brain fade” is completely normal (Unless you are gifted with photographic memory, which is extremely rare). Our brain has two kinds of memory: the long-term memory and short-term memory. The long-term memory is memories that not easy fade like special events of your lives; you may reminisce the special event it takes long time. The memory is already cemented in your brain, while short-term memory is that memory that easy forgotten, for the brain store the data for a while. For example, your lesson in the school you may remember the lesson after you study and while having the test, but as time goes by, what you had studied is already forgotten after few days.

CREATE STUDY ROUTINE.

Generally, if you scheduled certain times of the day to study, you will get into routine and accomplish more. If you just “fit it in” during your day, chances are there will never be any time. An effective way to do this is to literally mark it down in your date-book calendar as if you have an appointment, like going to the doctor.

SET REASONABLE GOALS.

One of the main reasons why people don’t reach their goals that are manageable, even if they seem too simply, you get in the habit of accomplishing them and gradually you can set higher goals. Also, recognize the difference between long-term and shot-term goals. Set your vision on the long-term dream, but your day-to-day activity should be focused exclusively on the short-term enabling steps.

AVOID THE FRUSTRATION ENEMY.

Ironically, the quicker the person’s nervous system, the faster learn. Yet, this fast nervous system also works overtime in being self-critical. So they are the ones who always think they aren’t going fast enough! In contrast, the “type b”, less intense person who learns slower yet is more self-accepting, end ends up ultimately learning the material in a shorter period of time. This is because he/ she doesn’t waste energy blocking, getting upset, and thinking that they are not good enough—they simply keep moving forward at a slower 9but unblocked) pace.

FREE TIPS IMPROVING STUDYING RESULTS




STUDY IN SHORT, FREQUENT SESSIONS.

It has been proven that short burst of concentration repeated frequently are much effective than one long session. So, even if you have 10 minutes, do it. Take a break. Then study another 10 minutes. This Distributed Learning approach is highly efficient because it honors the way the brain likes to work. The brain needs recovery and recharging time for “protein synthesis”. The rest periods are when your brain assimilates your effort. They are powerful tool, which many teachers do not acknowledge. To sit and study for hours and hours is not only boring, it creates fatigue, stress and distraction. You cannot learn if you are fatigue, stressed and distracted.


TAKE GUILT-FREE DAYS OF REST.

This follows the same principle as above, but on a longer daily time cycle. The reason for resting is to refresh oneself. However, if you feel guilty (“I really cant study) then, your precious rest period has been used to create more stress. The brain will not absorb new data if it is stressed. On days off from studying, really enjoy yourself and do not feel bad about studying.


HONOR YOUR EMOTIONAL STATE.

Do not study if you are tired, angry, distracted or in a hurry. When the brain is relaxed, it is like a sponge and it naturally absorbs data without effort. If you are emotionally stressed your brain literally repels data. Forcing yourself to sit and study when your mind is on other thing is a complete waste of time!

REVIEW THE SAME DAY.

When you learn something new, try to go over the points and then make
efforts to review the material it will seem much familiar. However, quick reviews later in the day tend to cement the information into your brain so that next “official” studies session; you will recognize it and it will seem easy.

5.OBSERVE THE NATURAL LEARNING SEQUENCE.

Think of the activities you did when you were in nursery school. Using your whole arm, you probably the song goes: “put your right hand in, put your right hand out”. Then, in kindergarten, using your hand, you might have been asked to draw lines or circles with crayons. Later, in first grade, now holding the pencil with your fingers, you drew smaller lines and circles to create letters. Believe it or not, this natural learning sequence, moving from large to small, coarse to fine, still remains effective even though we are now older. When you study, if you try first to grasp the big picture and then fill in the details, you often have a more likely chance of success.

----SONA---

- Wednesday, August 6, 2008


State of the nation address of the Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during the second session of the 14th congress of the Republic of the Philippines 28th day of July in year 2008.

As your president, I care too much about this nation to let anyone stand in the way of our people’s well being. Hindi ko papayagang humadlang ang sinuman sa pag-unlad at pagsagana ng taong bayan. I will let no one—no one’s political plans—threaten our nation’s survival.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo


What and why does a president giving a SONA?

The SONA is a privilege given to a president where he/she is holding an office. Here he/she can state his/her achievements and accomplishments, country’s improvement under his/her administration and also stating his/her plan for the future.
In this way he/she can reach out his/her countrymen. As a typical Filipino and a bonafide citizen of the Philippines we are required to listen to our president speech to find out what he/she had accomplished and to evaluate his/her future plans.


In relation to HRM subject, economics has something to do with the human resources. Economics and HRM are partners. If the economic is unstable, people also feel instability in their living but if the economy is stable and progressive, people may get rid in poverty and may live in prosperous life.
In the assignment given it asked three areas of the SONA which concerns in HRM. In my opinion their main concerns are: the basic needs and consumption of the people, health insurances, and stability of the businesses and employment rate.
The basic necessities and consumption of the people affects HRM, because in HRM it involves needs to motivate the employee to perform well to earn for survival. It is the primary reason why people must work to earn and to buy his needs and wants in life. And if the economy is prone of increasing goods price but there is no wage hike, it truly affects their performance if their income is insufficient to them. It may cause of protest if the management won’t accept their request for wage increase. It may result chaos between employee and employer or it may become the reason of turnover of employee to his job to look for highly compensated job. In industry, company may undergo downsizing to address the employees’ request.
I include the health benefits in the three areas concerned in the HRM it is because if the employees are healthy the company also becomes healthy, the same as what saying “health is wealth”. If the employees are mentally, emotionally and physically healthy they may more effectively and it may reduce their worries for the future in ensuring their health condition. Our President promotes their program nationwide; some of the indigent beneficiaries largely come from West and Central Luzon and Ilocos and still spreading this program in the poor provinces.
Business stability also does affect transaction in HRM because human rely on the company. If the company is unstable and unproductive this may cause bankruptcy that leads on downsizing or worst closing of the business.
In the SONA of our honorable president she addressed about investment and investing. The government budgeted of php 350 million training partnership with private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010.

I just hope that all of this hopes and promises will not be forgotten and not just vanished like a wind. I hope that our government and our people will work hand on hand for the benefit of our own progress and for the brighter future of our new generation.



THE REAL SCORE

- Thursday, July 31, 2008

“The Real Score”


Who truly surmount the world, you or me? Nobody can tell it just you must learn to adapt the sensible changes happening surrounds you.


Time passes so fast that I did not notice that I am already behind to others. I thought everything is fine; I have nothing to worry about. Everything is like a piece of cake for me: anything can be controlled. Word hard doesn’t exist to me. I let time passed for there are many next time. I made “no” into “yes” because I follow no other laws for I am the law. I take no other master for I am the master. I take everything for granted for I deserve only what is the best. I see myself as the lord of the world for I am powerful. I overlooked people under me in such a way that I recognized no one. I foresee that I am in the top. I have born just to heir and take control the world.

So, I decided to make a manuscript of my life. I settled up a fairytale life. I chose the most picturesque location where to shoot the movie of my life. I assigned myself as writer, director, and proofs man at the same the best actor of my own written story. I play it beautifully and gracefully until I realized how boring this life would be. It goes with the flow of living happily ever after story, no challenges, no sufferings and everything are dull. It is very animated, too much fascination (It is my realization when I got older).

So, I dumped the first manuscript and started a new one. I sketch and figure out a deeper story. I learned that I should make it more realistic; I must involve other actors and actresses played for different characters. When they came and performed I learned to fake smiles for I have to appreciate them---physically. I feigned affection to be part of the circle. I became cynical about love for the love portrays mockery. I stated to wear other shoe in order for me to be accepted. I totally lost my identity. Everything I see is pessimistic. I apprehend only the best pretender survives. I found out how harsh my life would be. So, I decided to dump it too.

So, nothings left for me but the two old dumped manuscripts. I start scrutinizing and analyzing what’s wrong with my past writings. I compare, contrast and evaluate for I fabricated a slouch life. I have found that it is all lie. The first one, I just planned for happy long hours of sunny days but presaged the storm, expecting rainbows though unprepared for rain and left no place for grief and could not foresee pain. It is living in fairytale worlds in which only exist in the mind of the imaginative writer. While the second one is living in the cruel world in which life is full of lies and mockery. It makes me vain and better.

I realized now life is unfair, it is unpredictable. Nobody have the power to dictates or appoint which things to be done. I prepared a master plan of my life for the future without thinking the possible circumstances, obstacles, and hindrances might come along my way. The set blueprint I had made is about gaining without losing, successions but full of pretensions. I am lost; I am confused which way to be taken. The only thing clear to me is life is never been fair but it planted equality. Everyone is neither equal in the eyes of God, no rich nor poor, no weak nor strong. Everybody has carried a cross of it’s own. A realization comes to me; one should learn to prepare always for the rainy season to come….

This is our scheduled for our interview in the City Hall HR department. The director is Mrs. Laperacion A. Daplin and she offered us her HRIS personnel Mr. Bobit Nasella.

When we asked their cooperation about our intention of having interview to them well, we don’t any problem. The Directress is very hospitable and nice. She accepted our request and allows us to proceed on our intention.

The interview that is Mr. Nasella is a gentleman and approachable. He is one of the System analysts of the HR department. He graduated at Bohol but didn’t specify where. And we haven’t able to back-up personal questions because his not comfortable to talk about it, so we decided not to ask too much of his profile.

And we proceed to our purpose. Our purpose on conducting the interview is to gather idea bout the application about HRIS aside from theoretical area for having an active sharing in the class. He said that HRIS caters two categories in their office only: the permanent employees (plantilla) and the non-plantilla (not permanent employees it might be co-terminus or temporary). Their HRIS coves the operation of office standard processes like Personal Database records, personnel selection, Hr training, Benefits and administration, performance management and etc. He said that the system should satisfy the needs of the client. This is really their main goal so they have to work hand in hand because in making the system is not advisable that only person makes but it better if it done with others, he said two heads is better than one. The next step is identifying what necessary system should be made. The design of the system is based on the needs of the company. He just said that programming is the last part of the process.

He said that HRIS is very important in the company for it makes thing go easier. It is very useful in the company. Their system is design for the employment in which it is easy for the end-user to access in the ready-made database system in viewing and appending new information or data. He said that their system is not that high technology like in the foreign countries but tried their very best to be updated on latest technology, besides they undergone trainings and seminars for effectiveness of HRIS. MS Sequel is the system they were using and they also avails the free platforms available in the Internet. But they have undergoes researches for the improvement, they have room for improvement.

We have lots of information gathered in the interview and really better we you talked to professionals than just simply read. This strategy of Sir Randy Gamboa is very effective on the learning pattern of the students.

After the interview of course picture taking inside the office with our interviewee and the Directress of the HR department.( Also picture taking in the Rizal Park. Hehehe)

3:00pm


This is the day that we decided to visit our first choice IT Company that is the SIX ELEVEN CALL CENTER. The company is not actually big; it has a little space but well enough for the employees to operate. Its a two stories building but based on my observation it’s a commercial building, and they just rent the place. It has many computer units (of course it’s a call center). It is not totally a call center but also it’s a training school for English language.

When we visit we were not entertained first instead we waited for their transaction with the applier to get finished. But we understand it, (who we are by the way?// haler!!!). I heard in their conversation that we are discussing about the allocation after they finished their training for almost one month, that they (applicant) may proceed to be a call center agent or instructor if they have a good and it satisfied on their qualification, it just defend on the performance. The training is worth php 6,000.00 but they have discount if you will bring someone to apply too, you will be discounted of php 1,000 instead of php 6,00 you will pay only 5,000.

The interview was not gone through into our report but we just still try work it out good and its end partly good. The interview was not that efficient because the persons we got interviewed were not really the HRM personnel but the Directress and her assistant. The company we visited is only branch so, the coverage of the scope is limited like they cant totally manipulate the HRIS but they were considered as the End-User of the program. If they have new applicant or employee/s they will have to add the personal information into Internet goes through to their office, they were not responsible on the creation of HRIS. Instead we just asked them about their HRM, how it goes? They answered as far as now well it runs smoothly no problem encountered. We tackled about the acceptance and discharge of their employees.

In this interviewed it wasn’t suits in our objectives that’s why I don’t like of what the results. So, we decided to proceed into our second company in that is the City hall HR department. In this day after our interview we went into San Pedro into The City hall HR department and assigned schedule for our interview…. And it’s being my next journal! Hehehe ( just to have lots of journal).

  • ___dated July 1, 2008; 3:00 pm

In this day our group in HRM subject decided to work in our project which is to look an IT industries and conduct a case study about their Human resource management.
Our group decided to divide our group into two. The first group were Kathy Feranil, Jovilyn Sandoval And Jeanette Japitan while I (Venus Millena) and Ilyn Mapalo is assigned as the second group. We do this enable us to get or to have many referable industries because based on past experienced of the former student of HRM, the said it wasn't easy to ask permission for the company.
Our journey is not became so easy. In our experienced , we need to walk along just to look a company. After we found an IT industry you need to beg and ask their permission allowing to conduct a case study in their company, After a long hours of discussing our objective and discussion that this study is for our study in HRM mostly refused in our request, they said that they dont have time for an interview others don't care about HRM, but this did not discouraged us instead it boost us to look for other company whose broad-minded and willing to help us,
Whewww its really very tiring and hot walking along...huhuhu!!! After few hours of pleading and convincing ..wheew finally we found two IT companies: the Six Eleven Call Center and City Hall.
This is our first visit of the company. We just purely asking their approval and consent. Next day after we sent them a letter.

"Human beings are the most important, potent and critical, resource of any organization, and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its resources"

Q: What is a human being?
A: A natural resource.
Q: What is a natural resource?
A: A basic ingredient of all organization.
Q: Who is the basic ingredient of all organization?
A: The human being.

It is noticeable that above conversation only moves in one cycle, human as resource and resource is human.
A company, corporation or organization needs human resources to manage, develop, control and administer their businesses. Even if technological advancement and innovative systems are present today, its still needs a man to administer and manage this device.
But this potentiality, capability and creativity of man are mostly neglected, least understood and worst managed. The organization must take good care of their human resources for they benefit so much on the great labors of their employees. They should give incentives, compensation and good wage on their employees. In unity their is strength, if the employer and employee have give and take relationship to achieve best result and success of the organization.

Ours is wrong, should be judged, belittled, ridiculed? but we have lived this way.

It started some wondrous years before, he is my physics teacher in high school. I despised him for no reason cause he looked so confident, self-assured, things that i really like.. its contradictory that I hated people with things I like... jellyfish. But I realized, that I'm just mesmerized,,, wow,, what a rhyme. I used to stare at him whenever he is angled sideways, been so careful not to be noticed by him and by classmates who also got a crush on him. His eyes were crystal clear, drawing, magnetic, jaw dropping body, voice- a mixture of cold and melancholic tune that will explore my senses. He is indeed very attractive, not to mention his irrefutable intelligence. He is eleven years my senior, he is twenty seven, I'm sixteen. He never really noticed me. So everyday, I tried to do everything to be somewhat excellent to get his attention. My intellectual guise enormously succeeded. He always called me during recitations, and during free time whenever we crossed ways along corridors, it seemed that somehow he likes me too, imagination? could be, but I thought he just need to be discreet to keep the merit of his profession so as not to invite me to the cafeteria maybe..to avoid gossips. hush.. ambitious me.
Days passed till it reached January, 2.5 months before graduation. fearful as I'm, I risked... I sent him a note, unnamed , I put this on his table before the class will start careful enough to attract anyones attention, saying:

"I had always liked you,and this maybe had transformed into love. this could be wrong, but then before I'll die i was able to extend this crazy feeling."
My heart leaped when I've seen him unfolding the crazy message, he didn't react, much to my disappointment and also much to my relief. Paradoxical feeling swallowed me into deep euphoria that maybe someday we could be together, but that is impossible, everyone will judge and even persecute the thought of us being @##$$$!. but whatever it is, i still cant stop holding on to this dream, farfetched it maybe.. but what if!!!! so i sent him a note the next day, this time in our dialect + engtagbish....

" hi sir, nabasa na nimo aQ message gahapon ...u didnt react man, sorry sir , but di man gud xa mapigilan, di sad ni xa puppy love, bsta, di nQ ma explain pwo kbalo Q Love ni. have a nice day, luv you."

I sneaked it the way i have before, maybe I'm just lucky not to be noticed with everyone. But of course, I tried so hard to change my handwriting.

I've seen him eyeing the paper, he read it, this time he threw it on the trash can.
He's getting more attractive and yummier everyday... when he's back is at us when he's scribbling something on the board, its like I'm deep seat belted on my chair dying to touch his nape... am i getting maniac, but maybe this is not abnormal, my classmates already have their "friends" and some are doing it young as sixteen... people said that i look attractive, a nice package they used to say ,some also tried to "win" me, but i would only feel attractive if Mr. Physics will be the one to notice me. My beloved Mr. Physics, fantasized and dreamed. impossible....
Well now it seemed that my intellectual guise is not working anymore, i got the highest scores but he kept on calling Meg, she is also one of the brightest in the class... the potential valedictorian along with me and Buddy. I found my self in deep envy.. she is very pretty with skin and body to die for. But its not that my Mr.Physics is "eyeing" her, maybe im just insecured.

I, again sent him a message:

"I looked at you everyday.
though i know its not okay...
this could not be right,
but this could also not be wrong.
take care always.

This time, he put the message on his case... I felt nervous. bloody hell!!! but hey I'm not British, sus!!! ambot!!!

One Sunday, I strolled along the beach all by myself for since I eyed my Mr.Physics it seems I'm getting to be a loner. I tried to pick up a deformed shell, but then as I tried to reach it, a hand got it already just in time for me to hold it.

He said - "gusto mo to?"
am i hallucinating? why is he here, Im dumbfounded, speechless, trembling.... richer scale no.7 !!!! (help!!!)

me: hah, uhm sir na lge ka dri, kinsa imu kauban?

Mr.physics: aQ friend (bze girlfriend) (envious feeling inside again but I understand, I never really get furious to the thought of him with attractive women....normal Lng gud,, boobs ra man jud gud q mapiLdi bah ug ang ..... basta)
so a mujer just appeared into the tumultuous scene of mine..

girl: hi...ur student?...
MP: yup hon, one of the brightest....
aQ: (agay!!!! gibato ku bayot!!!, hon daw!!! ayp! afa bya xa, pwo maz nQ...)
high maam, ur a teacher pd?. ( nice plastic-iest grin)
G: nope, im a banker!!!
aQ: ahhhh. nice meeting poh. (hah, sah daw to?, bangkera bah na sa bisaya nang job niya... duh...)
MP: why dont you join us, my resto don oh... (tagalog jd ni xa, bt he can undastnd man bish)

aQ: (nganga ang student) uhmm. yaw nlng sir, npa man koi adtoon...
MP: sure? mukha ka kzing gutom
aQ: (jeli Q, and if im jeLi im famish, so bhala nah...) ulawa pd woi.......
Girl: (singit2 pwa mgkadialog: ) cge na gang...
aQ...( since this is Hab2, so go, go!!! the contruction worker way na ni dutz,, pwo poise saon nlng) uhhhm, ok poh..

Much to my disappointment the girl is really nice,,, its ok sna if she's not so I'm gonna be not remorseful, hay. she even said Im good looking... gosh!1! and opposite sex will be chasing after me,,, if she only knew...........
But theres would always be a sudden change of fate to everything. we are going to have our "retreat" before graduation. our adviser was not able to go with us coz her son was sick, and it was Mr. Physics time to shine with us.. i felt nervous chills, im happy, "itchy" maybe. hehe, i cant explain the feeling. but its ok, i prided myself as a great pretender. its on a very scenic quiet place, but not really a retreat house, its like a forest resort... after the common "methodology" of the event, we prepared to sleep. since its our is our last nyt, i strolled aroung the place at 11pm, much to my shock, (y man he's there oy, he's so maninintal) he is there at the garden (naghinuktok) i was to go on and disappear but ............. "gising ka pah" (caught!!!)

me: opoh, (obvious bah) explore2 lng, pwa sulit ang bayad. mahal baya.
xa: (laughs reavealing nice set of teeth> )
talaga!!! kakatawa ka nman.
me: wla, uhm, bsta, nice man gud ang place. (spexally coz he's there)
xa: u wna say something?
me: hah? wat man sir...
xa: about the letters...
me: hah!!! (kandila pls, i nid to die) (y does he know?, he's also an astrologer maybe aside from being witty?)
xa: i admire u. ur very brave. but di tlaga halata na ganyan ka pala....
me: (decision was made, admit!!!)
uhm sir sori jud, pwo wa jud xa nQ gituyo... cguro ani jud Q mski di halata.
xa: ok lang...
me: from now on sir, di na jud q mag char2...
(but why would i flip the lid on the situation noh na ani naman jud ni.. its better that he knew, no pretense)
xa; ur still so young.
me: how do you come to know? (englisheyra me andar2)
xa: i have my ways of knowing.

From that encounter, im so careful. he started txting me, dunno how he got the number... didnt reply.... but whats wrong, its just quotes and after all he is really fond of txting the class maybe because he's still young, except that im not replying lng jud, so i replied, hi's and hello's coz its gonna be bye2!!!
Graduation.

We started painting the stage for the grad, grad practice, not much class, im just 3rd hon mention, but im so glad still, got my slip for a state u nah or college to be a BS BIO stud, im a half scho, things my whole fam is so happy and pride of.... if they only knew how terrible i am... but this soon pa hinu-on.
I really like to paint so i stayed late, six o'clock!!! how late... but since theres no more reg classes everybody is rushing to go home.. there are only five of us left... i went to the backstage, i've seen MP there examining the draft to be posted on the stage... sir, we'll go ahead napud...."ahhh.. ok... but can you see this?" said he.... so i took the paper, its a paper with a message, " i now realized i felt the same,"
And he kissed me, i returned of course... dream come true!!! pathetic me. that was our first, it turned out that its really been already "us". (inconceivable thought)
we've been so discreet, very much... avoid being caught... my parents would really be furious. luckily we managed to keep it.
the banker girl is still there but i dont care anymore as long as he's also partly mine , always been a part of me coz he's always be my baby!!!! (evil laughs)
generosity! people of engotlandia!!! its like share a load.
Ours have been four years of immaterially sounding but great and divine "love" . "we do the usual llover norms when im in college. we would just meet in a place a bit farther than ours, but this is never a hassle for us. we shared so much passion. then came a heavy rain... we are on a farm on a countryside... we rushed then into his car... and there for the first time as we were both heated by the coldness, we shared the passion we had inside screaming, dying to explore every inch of emotion as if this would be our last.... (yuck----author ni, y am i writing this... pang abante rni dli Pulitzer.)
Time passed. i graduated with my pre-med.
we constantly changed letters since i studied offshore to pursue my Medical practice... its another four years. im 29 now.. a neurosurgeon.... he's 40...still attractive and the vice president in a state college....
Years passed and for eternity, this would only be like this.... for in this world, we should accept things we cant change.... we both have "families" on our own now and we are both been good providers..... he's and mine are both commended by society as a model, with our love affair at hand that is being kept, filth as considered by people the one we considered divine, we flourished to be unsung lovers, tested through the torrent of times.
unfathomable decision and risks is our custom, love affair the gods would spit off for....ours is undefinable.... a pandemonium, a bomb yearning to explode.
We secretly meet on our "nest" a 5 hour drive from were we live... bought a nice place near the sea.... and tried to manage to do "a normally-abnormal" life.
fate had played with us.... but we know that in our hearts , no one could ever replace him to me, my ever beloved Mr. Physics and me to him, the dreamy student... though we are of the same sex.
