The Campus Behavior

This was an assignment in PERSEF. Observe La Sallian behavior (5 good, 5 bad). Where do we observe? Pick from A-H! I chose E and E turned out to be one of my favorite places in La Salle, my tambayan for chibog time, AGNO!! Coincidence!? I don't smoke okay! Seriously! Baka akala niyo... :))

After passing by the place and staying for an amount of time for days sometimes together with a fellow Agno observer, this are what I (and the others) have observed.

5 Negative Traits:

1. The very obvious, Many La Sallians are smokers! Mahilig mag YB! Yosi Break!

2. In this place you can hear a lot of La Sallistas swearing. Censored! Bleep! Bleep! Toooot!

3. PDA which stands for "Public Display of Affection" not the device, not the Dental Org, and ofcourse not the Dream Academy.

4. Pushy! Especially when Agno Lane gets really crowded.

5. Not falling in line! There's no line order on the food stalls! Unahan na lang at swertihan!

5 Positive Traits:

1. Obedient to the Yosi Rule!

They are very obedient to this rule. There's a yellow line somewhere along Agno (Although it's already scratched up and faded out that you can't see it much) called the YOSI line wherein the student or even the teacher is only allowed to smoke within that line. Smoke out of the line or you might just end up having a date with the DO.

2. Reunion Time. Observing the people at Agno. I spotted a lot of people who haven't talked for a while or haven't seen each other for a long time. Then they meet each other again in Agno. Nangangamusta at nag-uusap. Sometimes they go YB together and/or get some food or drinks in Agno or just hang out for a while and reminisce. ♫♪ Reunited and it feels so good ♪♫

3. Friendly to the sellers. Who wouldn't? hehe. Your the ones who buy the "Budgety" foods from them and they make it taste and look good for you! haha

4. Bonding. Just like reunion. You get to bond with one or more blockmates or schoolmates and a lot of them you can see in Agno. Either foodtrip, YB, or just making tambay to kill the time.

5. No Littering. No trashes on the ground. Just all debris and big bumpy rocks. Because there are a lot of trashcans on the side of Agno. You won't see anyone throw their trash just anywhere. They would really find the nearest trash bin and dispose it there.

Summarization of the group:

Here's the picture of the 1/2 crosswise yellow pad containing the summary of what we've observed. My other groupmates were also assigned to different places (Agno, South Gate, Goks Lobby, Z Squared, Andrew Library, SJ Walk, Yuchengco Lobby, Ampi).

Hope you understand Megg's handwriting hahaha (Click to zoom)

Enterprise!

INTRICT Diaries - Week 4
*I don't have a week 3. I think there was no post assigned for week 3.

I learned that:
1. China is to blame for the increase of prices of rice and oil! China talaga oh! Joke
2. To Sir Oli, Announcing that there will be a test 5 minutes before the actual is not a surprise quiz since he still announced it 5 MINUTES before the test
3. That wherever there's a McDo, Jollibee will also build one near it. Although it never went vice versa
4. Watch out for Sir Oli's "Announced" quizzes so be always prepared. Study! Especially in advance!

Hahaha but that's not all, we would ofcourse learn something new, And when I mean that something relating to our course duh. Okay so we took this "Announced" test from Sir Oli and the contents weren't familiar to most of us. It was about Computer Enterprising, Business Units, etc... And since the majority got a Single Digit Score, The test wasn't graded. Pinagbigyan kami. *cough* *cough*. So there's nothing to be shy about and I'm proud to say I got nothing but a big fat SIX!! haha.

So what did we learn? After the test there was ample amount of time for Sir Oli to teach us the contents he put in the test. And he continued it on our following meeting. And here I learned the Basic Structure/Chart of a business organization. I will no longer get confused about job positions and their levels. The President or CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is the highest position in the structure and under it are three more chiefs: We have the CFO (Chief Financial Officer), The COO (Chief Operations Officer), and ofcourse the pride of the IT industry, The CIO (Chief Informations Officer).

And this is where the nine units come to the picture. Under the CFO is the Accounting and Finance Department with a VP to lead it, under the CIO is the IT Department also led by another VP. Here it is. It's the COO that has the remaining seven units/departments under it. That's quite a lot! Each ofcourse, is ran by a VP of it's own. The following departments are: Human Resources (HR), Engineering/Product Development, Manufacturing, Marketing, Sales, Distribution, and Customer Service.

Well this is what I've learned so far. I'm still not sure exactly what the specific responsibilities of each units are. That's why their being taught to us right? hahaha... I'm gonna go study about and that and probably put them on my next INTRICT adventure... I mean post...

Life Songs: Album Art

Here's our assignment in PERSEF wherein we had to make an album containing compilations of songs that explain our journey through life. No! CD's aren't needed FYI! Album arts only. Here's my Album art with my compilation of songs. My songs are arranged randomly and are all what I think have a message about life or something relating to life. By the way, don't think I'm evil cause of the color designs. I love using these colors a lot. Hahahaha

Clayworks

During our first PERSEF class each groups were told to bring clay. And during our second PERSEF meeting which was last week we were told gather by group even though the activity will be individual. We will get a share of clay from our group and we will mold something that represents "Me as a La Sallian". Although the activity was individual, Jerik thought of combining our works into one masterpiece. We each made a person with our clays. It was really obvious most of us can't make a decent human form. I think it was only Quino, Kev, and Kris who made decent ones. I dunno which is there's so

Here are the screw-up artists! hahaha:
1. Mine (Bottom-left most part) is "Boulder Boy" because of the spherical body. XD
2. In my creation's left is Nicole's "Limbo Girl" because it kept on bending over! hahaha...
3. then next to Nicole is Jerik's "Hooded Penguin" hahaha...
4. If you skip the one after Jerik's, you will see Megg's creation, "LAMANG LOOB". Because her clay man looks like it's insides are spilling out.
5. If you go back to my work and move to the right this time, you will see Alec's Pillsburry Boy! (he rather calls it "Kokey") hahaha

Symbolism: How did this symbolize the La Sallian in me? Well here's our group's explanation. We united our clay man's by making them hold hands and form a circle to represent "One La Salle". Our MUTANT clay men symbolize that La Sallians are a variety of people with different background, culture, and characteristics. But despite the differences, there's still unity within the individuals. That's the La Sallian in us. We're different from each other but still "UNITED". \m/

Oh almost forgot the HEART!

Coat of Arms

Do you know the coat of arms is? If you don't it's a logo usually found in the shield or shaped like a shield that symbolizes a certain place. During our first PERSEF class, we were told to make our coat of arms that symbolize us. We were given a paper with a blank coat of arms, we will make our own coat of arms there by filling each division of the shield. Then were divided randomly into groups (They will be our group from now on) to share our works. Here's mine. Don't have a scanner though so I just took a shot of it from my camera. And also, my handwriting and drawings ain't that good so hope you understand them! hahaha... Just click on the picture para luminaw yung view

PERSEF Invasion!

Don't mind about the title! haha... From now on, my blogspot won't only be for my INTRICT assignments and senseless ideas but will also be my PERSEF portifolio.

To start off my first official PERSEF blog post I will answer the questions from our HANDSOME Prof, Mr. Cabredo! :))

1. Who are you?

- Hahaha what a first question! My name is Angelo Abraham P. Arnaldo, you can call me "Gelo"

2. Strengths and Weaknesses

- I consider my humor, hyperactiveness or rather lively personality, and my little outgoingness as my strengths. Though when stacked up with work I get SOUPED! As in "SABAW". Also, my short attention span and lack of eagerness to work hard are what I what I thin are my weakness. But I still am the type that wants all the work to be accurately and completely done. Another weakness that I have is that I hate getting emotional, I can't really get to say all that I want because of that reason but there are times that I can't take it anymore or something else similar that it makes me become what I hate, getting emotional but sometimes it's because of that I can consider that it as a Strength whenever the result is positive (For Ex. Confessing what you feel to your parents and they suddenly understood you well).

3. Why DLSU? Why ICTM?

- Why La Salle? Well, since I was a little kid, I wanted to be in La Salle already maybe it's because of family influence. Then time passed by and I still wanted DLSU, then I found out that the course I wanted was approved for excellence in La Salle. Coincidence at it's best. haha. Why ICTM? I loved computers a lot when I was kid and until now of course. hehe. I chose ICTM cause it matches my interests. Plus, IT dudes make a lot of money in their field! hahaha

I.T. Job Recruitment Analysis

INTRICT Diaries - Week 2

As another assignment on our INTRICT, we were told to find 25 IT job postings. We should know what are the technical skills, non-technical skills, and responsibilities that companies expect from an IT Professional. Here are graphs that show the most demanded technical skills and other traits, the y-axis on the graph shows the number of companies (25 companies) who favor the current trait. (The items on the graph are only those that are mostly chosen by the companies so the topic would not be too broad):

1. Technical Graph:

The graph shows that more companies look for those with good skills with SQL then next is both Visual Basic and UNIX
The fewest was both COBOL and Java. Geez! Why bother teaching us Java then? :))

2. Other Traits Graph:

This the graph that shows both the responsibilities and the non-technical skills.
The most dominant trait companies are looking for is being able to speak and write English well
What lands on the second most searched trait is becoming willing to work anywhere or willing to travel to any place. Of course the travel has to bee work related! hahaha
Analytical thinking and being able to adjust with the work schedule both come in at third place. The person must know how to analyze and think of a way to solve a problem. He must also be able to adjust whenever his work schedule has to be changed, especially in terms of having a night shift.
