Acknowledgement...

i would like to thank god for giving me a chance to study and pass this term. my professors who helped me and my classmates by teaching us and sharing with us what they know. my friends who helped me on the way. my family who supported me and by working hard to pay for my very expensive tuition fees.

everyone, thank you very much. Sir Fantillo, salamat po and Merry Christmas!!!=)

Hurrah!!!

Hurrrraaaahhh!!!.... atlast! we finished every thing that needs to be done. although our feasibility study did not turn out good because we were told that our grade is C for continuing. we did not manage to submit the revised copy of our study on time and we were told that we will present it on the first week of january.

i have finished almost all of my exams except for information systems because it is scheduled tomorrow. somehow, i am quite confident that i will get the necessary points to pass each subject. however, deep inside of me, i feel a little uncertainty with my SPM and InfoSys.

i hope i have no failing subjects this term... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tears...

8th of December 2007, saturday, i woke up at 7am. washed my face, ate my breakfast, brushed my teeth, took a bath, got dressed and then left for school.

10:30am, i arrived at school. there were no classes in facilities so went directly to the library. there i found my groupmate in infosys and we continued to work on our company study.

12:00pm, me and my groupmate went to class, which is infosys laboratory, but there were also no classes. we only had an evaluation and we are free to go. we decided to coninue to work on our company study and we finished it with many time to spare to work on our take home quiz in infosys.

5:45pm, i finished my take home quiz. i noticed that some of my friends are very depressed. i talked to them but they were not in the mood to talk so left them alone. i decided to read some of the handouts in SPM because there is a quiz coming up.

6:00pm, we were given two handouts, 3 pages each, and told to read it because is included in the quiz. it was an article about Steve Jobs and the other is entitled "Once a technology leader, Japan is now struggling to find its place in the digital age". we read it, answered the questions and got dismissed. i manage to answer the questions however, some of them are incomplete. i hope i got it right because i really need to get high points to pass because earlier this afternoon i had a glimpse of my grade and i realized that i need to be PERFECT to get the necessary grades to pass. you'll think i'm exaggerating but believe me, it's true.

7:35pm, we passed our quizzes finished or not finished. got out of the classroom, went down and i saw many of my friends are drepressed. they said that they were not able to pass their company study on time because it is still incomplete. some of them are crying because they really needed that grade in order to pass. one of them said "kailangan ko karirin ung finals kasi di namin napasa ung company study. yun nalang pagasa ko..." when i heard that, i remembered what i saw in Sir Fantillo's laptop. i realized that if we are not able to pass the company study, i will fail even if i perfected the exam.

i am worried. after seeing the faces of my classmates, i told myself that i will do my best to pass. i'm not afraid of failing. however, failing means that i will have to repeat what we did this term in this subject. its not easy to do company studies and case studies. we spent lots of nights not sleeping in order to finish those studies therefore failing is not an option. plus, the fact that we are experiencing finacial problems that my parents doesn't know where to get the money for my tuition fee. their reason is i only have a few terms left they don't want me to stop. when think about it before i sleep, my tears are coming out slowly from my eyes...

God, please guide me and help me to finish my studies so that my parents will be proud. thank you...

My New Year's Resolution

last sunday, december 2, i went to a morning mass. it was then that i realized that i haven't attended a mass since last year's "simbang gabi". no wonder that i am not receiving any god's blessings these days.

as early as now i decided to make my new year's resolution. i will attend mass every sunday starting from my birthday, which is december 2, until i am not able to attend any mass anymore...

God speed!

Happy Birthday!!!

yesterday, december 2, was my birthday. i was greated by some of my friends. they are harvi, karren, lee, nami(a friend from high school) and rannel.

that is all. thank you! hahahaha.....!!!!

The Variables

i think the two variables are MEAN and VARIANCE.

MEAN because it means that there is no changes or everything is going to plan. no improvements and downstreams in the system. in terms items or products, everything is on the average.

VARIANCE because it means that there is changes. there is improvement or downstreams in the system. in terms of items and products, there are defective and non-defective items.

when you ask your managers in your company, you should ask if there are changes or if everything is going as planned. if there are changes, is it for the better or for the worst.

A Slight Improvement...

waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!.....

earlier this evening i received my quiz 3. i was expecting that i would get a higher score in this quiz and guess what, i did. however, it only improved one point from my previous quiz which is 58 to 59. heh, on the first quiz i got 57. then on the second, i got 58. and now, i got 59. maybe next quiz i'll get 60. i hope not... i wish i would get a much higher score next time because it will definitly help me a lot.

tonight, our classmates discussed about their their case which is louis vuitton moet hennessy.
i would say that the first groups presentation is great because they discussed it clearly and smoothly. although i didn't learn much because i haven't read the case and i missed the first part of their presentation for i have been to the comfort room doing private stuff (if you know what i mean....). what i've learned about the company is that they are very famous because of their luxurious products and its fashion.

i cannot say much about the second group because they came in late and the first groups presentation took so much time. they didn't have the time to present their case properly because there is no more time left. what's left for them is to say something on the company's swot and criticize their strategy. i can say by the way they look that they were disappointed because i think they they prepared well and even dressed up for the presentation and yet they were... dismissed because of lack of time.

i have to study harder and hopefully next time i'll get not just a passing grade but higher...

my quiz number three....

i am worried. i only got 8 points in the multiple choice and i am not sure about the results of my essays. probably, the least i can get is 48 points and its not enough because sad to say i haven't passed a single quiz yet. the first one i had 57 points and the second had 58. i improved a single point. big deal...

the quiz was about chapters 6, 8 and 9. i had difficult time answering numbers 6 and 7 because i have to think about 3 important variables to analyze what a company needs to be competitive and 3 important variables to invest in an industry. there are so many things going inside my mind and i can't decide which one to write. as far as i can remember, my answer is it should have a high marketability, is a low cost provider and... i forgot. my memory is already failing me at such a young age. this is not good. i have to do something about it...

waaa!!!! i have to do better next time. hopefully our case study, finals, recitation and other things that would drag my grades up would go sky high so i can pass. this is really tough.

wish me luck and god speed!
