chillin’ like a villain
I can’t wait for this sem to end! Everyone is going crazy! Seriously. You know people are going gaga when your FB notifications about acads are cascading like a waterfall. And oh, people are tweeting non-stop to relieve stress or what have you. Thank you Twitter. We love you!
Anyway, being the travel freak that I am, I always look for beautiful places to discover. Sembreak is just around the corner and my boyfie’s board exam is a month away too! So what better way to reward ourselves than to have a fabulous vacation!
So where to go? We really don’t want to go to Boracay anymore because aside from being overrated it is seriously EXPENSIVE. So I relied on my ever reliable and abused search engine, Google. Thank you Google for making life easier! I just punched in keywords such as beach luzon, batangas, palawan, puerto galera, coron etc etc to look for reviews and tips on pristine beaches! yes this sembreak, I want to be a bitch on the beach hihi. I really do not go for reviews from Tripadvisor and the like because I want real experiences from REAL PEOPLE. Thank God for Travel Bloggers! Not only do they provide unbiased reviews, they also give tips on how to stretch your hard earned money!
Currently, I am thinking of going to either Amihan villa or Potipot. Palawan will have to wait. They are both beautiful places and they very accessible! I encourage you to check these places out and have a nice sembreak before all hell breaks loose on our last semester in UP Manila.
So chill like a villain this sembreak!
Find your own special place and sit back and relax!
P.S.
You can message if you want to join me! 🙂 ako na gagawa ng itinerary 😉
ANG UNIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS.
Sabi nga ng mga magulang ko, edukasyon lang ang maipapamana nila sa akin. Kahit magkanda kuba sila ay okey lang basta makatapos kaming magkakapatid ngunit paano na kung pilit kinikitil ng mga mapang malabis ang pagkakataon upang makapag-aral?
I OPPOSE THE BUDGET CUT.
UP FIGHT.
Lalalala
This rainy season, people can easily get sick. Cough and colds are diseases that can easily infect anyone. (Just imagine the horror it could bring to a jam-packed mrt coach, Que Horror indeed!)
mga kuya, keri pa?
These viral infections can be catastrophic. They can make you miss your class, an outing and heaven forbid your date with a prospect beau! Which could probably jeopardize your entire life completely well, atleast your love life but that’s another story.
So what are you waiting for? Arm yourself with the best medicine available!
And the best part is that its is absolutely free ladies and gentleman!
YES YOU READ RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY FREE!
OC 152 Lab gives you a healthy dose of
LAUGHTER
Yes folks! They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor a way but I beg to differ, we all know what happened to dear granny when she got addicted to the Ipad.
Laughter boosts your immune system to help fight diseases and helps release Endorphin for instant GV! 🙂
even the dark lord needs some evil laughter
So how will we tickle your funny bone?

The plus
Whenever I chance upon ads for job hiring, I get a bit discombobulated. Most of the positions posted are not your usual boring typical blue or white collared job. Every position seemed to have a “suffix” of some sort.(Let us call thy suffix as “Specialist”). Technical specialist in Xbox games, Online shopping specialist, Canine care specialist and the list goes on..
The Age of Hyperspecialization
(My two cents on it)
Jobs nowadays are rapidly becoming highly specialized. Before, a supervisor does not only look after the performance and well, supervise his unit, he also took care of the nitty gritty stuff like filing documents. Now, jobs are becoming so specialized that if I were to exaggerate, this would mean that in the process of manicuring nails, each process would be handled by an expert of that step and that would mean that your nails will be carefully handled by a nail cutter specialist, nail color specialist and nail cleaning specialist. Strange analogy but you get the point:) This also means that you would receive the best manicure experience in your life bought to you by only the best of the best!
Let us face it. We mere mortals cannot be possibly good at every single damn thing we do. There would always be another person better than you in a certain way and vice versa. People tend to be exceptionally good at something and we must be able to realize that and make it work to our advantage. Imagine specialists working on a project rather than just a few people. Not only does the work get done FASTER, the quality of the work increases as well as long as the project is directed by a person that has the capacity to maneuver the people in the right the direction.
So what’s in it for the Stakeholders?
The Company
It means that companies save money because they get the job done faster and as a bonus outputs are of quality due to the level of expertise of the people who had done the work.
The Worker
The pool of specialized workers will have the opportunity to do what they do best. Having jobs broken down to bit size pieces means more jobs for people.
Conclusion: A win- win situation for both parties!
But for this to actually work we need people who could bring the two together the ” + ” or the operation in Company + Experts = Happy Relationship equation.
The “+ ”
Organizational communication is the thread that knits the stakeholders together. It puts together the supply and the demand from the stakeholders to perform the task. We can see Organizational communication as the facilitator in speed dating wherein OrCommunicators find the perfect match from the pool of people to be able to assure that a good relationship between them may occur. It is very important that Orcommunicologists get the messages to and from them So that :
- The company will be able to get what they want
- The specialists/experts know exactly what they are tasked to do
- A good relationship can form

My random thoughts after reading
The Age of Hyperspecialization by Thomas W. Malone, Robert J. Laubacher and Tammy Johns. (A MUST READ)
Want P80M? READ THIS.
Time is gold.
In the frivolous world we live in, things do not come cheap. A good old G-tec pen which used to be P35 (circa 2002) would now set you back P7X.XX! Prices sky rocket at a pace that our pockets cannot handle and not to mention leaves many in neck deep debt.
With the minimum wage pegged at a measly P426, Pinoys have looked for ways to get rich, FAST. Hence the boom boom pow of the following:
yes, the ever annoying Willie Revillame.
Shows have practically aligned themselves strategically. People need money and shows have become an avenue for companies to advertise by giving hefty moolah / prizes to the masses.
Well, it works!
Who doesn’t know “Walang aww sa Pao!” LOL
Then there’s
the ever elusive lotto.
Folks! When the super lotto reaches P100 million you can bet that the line reaches from baranggay to baranggay and this is not an exaggeration. (I was one of the many hopeful lotto ticket holders)
And finally the love child of the Internet.
The ever lovalable
TUKO
Could this “little” tuko be a Pokemon?
Pinoys are going gaga over this reptile! The tuko or Gecko, is probably the most talked about and researched animal in Google Pilipinas. But who can blame them? With a 400g Tuko being sold online for P80 million who wouldn’t want to board the millionaire’s chariot.
The Tuko fever started online. With countless of ads wanting to buy Tukos (that allegedly can cure AIDS) that weigh 200g and up for a huge sum, the tuko spectacle reached even the far flung areas of the country and even caught the attention of local news programs.
The buzz?
The Tuko treasure may just be a big hoax.
Yay or Nay, there is no contesting the power of the mighty internet.
