Isang Panawagan para sa LTFRB at sa CIty Mayor ng Makati

Magandang araw po sa inyo. Nais ko po sana magtanong kung approve na po un pagtaas ng pamasahe sa pagsakay po sa tricycle? Kanina po, pag uwi ko galing opisina. nag-aabang po ako ng tricycle sa may talipapa sa tapat ng Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop sa may Sampaguita ext., Brgy. Pembo, Makati. Ako po ay papuntang Milkweed street. Doon po ako nag-abang kasi sa kabilang street papuntang Cembo sa tapat ng isang parlor, mahal po maningil ang mga tricycle driver, "Special" po ang pamasahe pag doon kayo sumakay, 15pesos. Habang nasa tapat po ng Cebuana LhuilIier Pawnshop, isang tricycle po ang huminto, at sinabi ko po na sa Milkweed at pinasakay naman ako. Maayos naman ang byahe. Pumasok po ang tricycle sa loob ng Milkweed street. Nagbayad po ako ng 7pesos kasi di naman po ganun kalayo ang talipapa ng Pembo sa Milkweed. Sabi po sa akin ng driver, 10pesos daw po ang pamasahe pag nagpahatid po sa loob ng Milkweed Street. 7pesos naman pag may kasama po ako. 7 pesos din po ang bayad kung sa kanto po ako ng Milkweed bumaba. At sabi pa ng driver mataas daw po ang gasolina kaya ganun na po ang singilan. Sana po inyong mabasa ang aking reklamo laban sa mga tricycle driver na abusado. Gawan nyo po sana ng aksyon para matuto po ang mga tricycle driver na abusado. Kawawa naman po kaming mga commuter, mahirap na nga po ang buhay, dindadaya pa ng mga tricycle driver na abusado.

Ang palatandaan po sa tricycle na aking nasakyan ay "UTPETODA 4596". Malaking lalaki po ang driver at sa loob po ng tricycle nya ay may picture po sila ng kanyang asawa na nakapangkasal.
Mag-ingat po kayo sa tricycle na ito.

Isa pang babala, maraming abusado na tricycle driver sa Bry. Rizal at Brgy. Pembo, Makati.

Dry Eyes.. oh no!

Last last Wednesday, a week ago, my eyes got red and I felt so uncomfortable. I thought it was a Sore eyes so I medicated with an anti-bacterial eye drops, 1 drop/day. But as I observe for 3 days, I was wondering why there was no itchy feeling and the redness only occur inside of my lower eyelids ( I don't know the right term). I went to our company doctor for a checkup and the diagnosis is Dry Eyes. First, he asked if I'm using contact lenses and i said yes. He said that wearing contact lenses can cause Dry eyes. I should wear it for not more than 8 hours per day. And it is much better if I change my contacts monthly coz I'm using an extended one. He also said that heat is also one factor to cause Dry eyes. I guess that's the main culprit why I have dry eyes, it's so very hot lately. (Climate change!) The doctor also said that dust, air pollution, and dirty places can also cause dry eyes. He prescribed an Artificial Tears eye drop to lubricate my eyes. He also told me to rest my eyes because my work requires me to sit at the front of the computer for more than 8 hours. And lastly he advised me not to wear contact lenses until my Dry eyes were gone. Oh no! Sadness but i have to follow. I bought an Artificial tear eyedrop at Mercury drug and it cost me Php326. As of today, I can say my eyes condition improves. Still waiting for the day when I can say "Byebye Dry Eyes, don't ever come back.". Hahaha! :)

May 10, 2010: At last, I'm counted!

I was able to cast my vote around 5:30pm. It was hassle-free, unlike in my morning experience. Fewer people, not that hot, and the long line was gone. Hope my Presidential and VP bets win. If not, it's fine with me, at least I have voted for the people which I think worthy to be leaders of our country. May God bless us all and our country.

What an election day..

Today is May 10,2010. The 1st Automated Election in the Philippines. But as of this moment, I haven't voted yet. Why? Because there are a lot of people in the school where the the election is held, it's too hot, the line is too long, and the voting process is too slow.. it's a total chaos in my opinion. Good thing is they announced that the voting is up til 7pm in the evening. I'm wondering if they will extend it till tomorrow.

Anyhow, I need to exercise my Right to Vote.. I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. Our votes is for our country's future. Vote Wisely my fellowmen. May God bless us all.

Without Trust You Cannot Lead

I just want to share this article that I accidentally found in the net:
Without Trust You Cannot Lead by James M. Kouzes, Ph.D. and Barry Z. Posner, Ph.D.

I extracted some parts that caught my attention:

"If you're going to be in a business of any size, you're going to have to develop the kind of leadership qualities that allow you to attract good people, guide them, encourage them, and ultimately trust them--and let them go and do their jobs. Oh, sure, you have to take deep breaths, but mostly you have to trust them." --Bill McGowan, founder of MCI

I truly agree. I remember my previous boss said before:

"You are matured enough to manage your time. You can do whatever you want as long as you deliver your results on time and with quality."

and

"You are defined by your outputs."

I believe that he's a good leader who knows to take care of his team and will fight for you as long as he knows that you are RIGHT. Anyway, back to the article..

In reality this one really happens:

"Without trust, managers often take a self-protective posture. They are directive and hold tight reigns over their subordinates. Likewise, subordinates of low-trust managers are likely to ignore, disguise and distort facts, ideas, conclusions and feelings. They are suspicious and unreceptive, perceiving their manager's actions as attempts to manipulate them. In follow-up experiments where participants were briefed about their manager's low level of trust, attempts by the manager to be truly open and honest were ignored and rejected by subordinates. The mental set was so strong that the manager's honesty was viewed by subordinates as a clever attempt to deceive them. They were cynical and generally reacted by sabotaging the manager's efforts even further."

I remember an incident that someone mentioned that all will be treated fairly in terms of job assignments but he also mentioned that they as managers also have "Preferred Persons" to do the job. whaaattt??? Fairly versus Preferred? I also remember that someone added me before to be a friend in one of the famous social networking sites. I'm thinking if he did it just to sneak if I'm working or not. Is it a sign that he doesn't trust his subordinates..oooppps! :x


Final notes:

"Trust is a risk game. Leaders must be the first ones to ante-up."

and

"Without Trust You Cannot Lead"


It's May 1, 2010, Happy Labor day!
