MBA - APEX

After a long time planning... I've decided and am doing it!

I recently started by MBA - APEX at my old University this month. The used to be 3year-MBA program now digested into uhm... hopefully... 1 YEAR! hehehe..

I had some apprehensions as to how I'm going to cope going back to being a student since it entails a lot of routine and practices I have no longer accustomed to doing. It also meant a lot of changes to what I AM accustomed and there are a lot of sacrifices to be made ~ but I thought WHY NOT?!! I am 26, it's the right time for me to stretch my vision as to what I really want to do in the long-run.

For the first time in my life I know what I really want. Hopefully I can fuel it up til I get it right.

Anyways, arriving to school last June 9,2006 sent me a melancholic feeling. Walking at the pathwys I used to walk 6 years ago or so. I had a few minutes to spare so I marvelled at the many different structures that was once not there.. hehehe... I remembered there was a construction at my last year in the University, now I see the new facilities and buildings that we used to joke "yan, yan ang reasons why tuition fees are going up!" hehehe...

Arriving at my Graduate School class.. I saw unfamiliar faces and was shocked... we are but 7 in the class. I thought "yup, here we are, risking ourselves into accelerating the 3year-mba to 1". After listening to each stories, a splurge of energy brought me new-found excitment. I am part of a group with explendid backgrounds. Thought we were 7, no class can match our class hehehe... composed of a Doctor of Medicine, a CPA, a Sales and Marketing person, an Area Manager at the same time a Civil Engineer, a Satellite Office Head of an Australian owned company, a Gen Manager of a Pharma Company based in Vietnam and also a Biology grad and I hehehe.... not to mention the vastness of age gap! 20's 30's 40's and 60's! and our professors in their 50's hahahaha...

It's remarkable to be with these people and I am sure not only will I learn a lot on the modules of the academe, I'm sure I can extract some experiences well beyond my years!

Translations

Words are oftentimes mis-used or even mistranslated when you over-translate them. It even loses it's meaning and may come out funny. One classic example would be TOOTHPASTE. I'm particularly interested in this word (or noun) because it doesn't have a translation in Filipino or in our dialect. Well, for those who know what the words are then please correct me :) I came across this topic in a skype group the other day, we were chatting our hearts out with people from around the world (well most are Filipinos but in different countries) then one person blurted " so ano ang tagalog sa toothpaste? " Everyone kept silent then someone suddenly blurted " joke ba yan? " then most chorused " COLGATE! "... much to my demise, I realized, I didn't know what the tagalog word is for Toothpaste, yet alone know the bisaya term for it. So, I researched online but nothing. Then started texting my friends (Globe lang coz free txt ako sa globe hehhehe) then pe...

Joke Text Messages --- A Reflection

Sa sermon, bag-ong Kano nga pari gitabangan sa Pinoy Interpreter: Pari: The Lord was crucified between two robblers. Roy: Si Hesus gilansang tunga sa duha ka goma. Pari: If we do not repent. Roy: Kung dili ta mamintal ug usab. Pari: The wrath of God will come upon you. Roy: Ang mga ilaga sa Dios moanha kaninyo . (Nangatawa ang mga nanimba) Pari: Well.. well... Roy: Atabay, Atabay.. . Those are one of the many jokes I often receive on day-to-day basis and it truly makes me smile and wonder: How do makers of these jokes ever conceive such simple yet effective ones? Well, maybe it's just me, maybe mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko .. or simply maybe my tickle bones are just too sensitive. But it's funny.. most especially the joke which follows: During the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread and shared to the twelve. So did they share with the wine... then Jesus said, " Naa diri kaninyo karon ang tao nga mag- betray kanako" ... Then Jesus looked sternly to Judas.. Judas...

Watermark...

Listening to Enya's Watermark makes my heart melt like ice in a hot summer day.. I wonder how the artist/composer felt like while creating such a touching song.. no rhyme nor word is used.. just pure emotion... .. to me feels a lot like loving someone so much yet one doesn't know how to convey.. a feeling only a gentle kiss or a warm hug can express.. How happy it is to love and more if the love felt is mutual.. so many have searched for it, yet only a few are graced by it's presence.. I admit I for one long for it.. the feeling where you need not worry coz someone will always love you, imperfections and all. As I see couples everyday... I can't help but ask myself, "Do they ever realize that many are longing for someone?" Before when I was still younger I despise the couples... but now, I truly envy (?) them.. hehe.. My heart beats extraordinarily whenever I see old couples kiss, hug, talk together, hold hands and just enjoy each other's company for they...
