TumiThesis
Aug 9th
So it’s been a while since the last time I blogged here at ALPSaguado.com. I just opened a new blog which is academic in nature: The Vinculum. There, you will actually see first hand what I learn in school (and yes, I do learn something). In other news, I am happy to say that this would be my last year in the University–well, hopefully. Part of the last scholarly rituals in my undergraduate degree is that dreaded thesis dance. That’s why I was away for a long span of clueless time. I have already decided my thesis topic. So far, I have researched in our college–College of Arts and Sciences (I have to see 4 more colleges) and De La Salle University’s Library. Got a generous amount of researched information, I can say.
U & I: Week Five
May 31st
“U & I” chronicles my life as an intern of Unilever Philippines (ULP). The blog entries under this series would only include my personal affairs with my fellow interns, with the company and its employees. Any kind of corporate information about the said company would never be written here.
Our company-wide project is not only making tangential interference to our department-centric jobs and stints but is also generating some sort of personal corporate dilemma. Sometimes, I just want to escape and make some Absence-Without-Official-Leave diva drama. Every time I have this kind of cognitive ranting, Cezar’s (HR, Learning & Expertise King) words automatically dives into my psychological pool: It’s hard work here at Unilever. I am at least happy that I am touching and learning the corners of the real world in its grandest form. After this internship program, I will let everyone feel my body that’s made of steel.

Scholarly Shit
Mary Johnston Hospital on the Aspect of Change:
A Survey-Analysis of its Organizational Development Process
I was really not satisfied with our OrCom 101 paper although I feel that it would still merit a good rating. Haha. I, Rish and Ace are just slacking off during the paper-making itself–sound trip and laughing about non-sense things. I am quite happy because we were able to come up with a good analysis and conclusion. Oh well, we’ll just wait and see.
I Thought, But
When we passed this last requirement for the semester, I thought we should be happy, but our emotions are just so-so. Maybe because it is brought by the stressors that we have collected during the two hell weeks (the second one being worse). And add to the fact that I am having a hard time dealing with my emotions. Yes, it is hello issues again.
How would you deal with something that you hate but would never change?
Tolerate.
THE Tournament
I will be having my first national debate tournament–National Debate Championships in Philippine Military Academy, Baguio City (October 22-27). And the money I have spent or would be spending is really really big in amount (Yelp!)
Figures in Philippine Peso
Registration Fee: 2400.00
Hotel Accomodation: 1750.00
Transportation: 760.00 (Round Trip)
Pocket Money: 1000.00 (Poor me)
——————————————–
Total: 5910.00 (Almost 6 grand? WTF!)
I need to persuade myself that this would be a detox week for me. But, err, why can’t I? Kuya Aloi said to us that UP-Manila teams should be capped because it is simply prestigious. Haha, how ironic! :) Arvin and I would be matter-loading this weekend with some issues about everything.
Midtown Madness
There is a new world in Robinson’s Place Ermita! It is called Midtown. It is connected with the Pedro Gil Wing and Adriatico Wing(?) of the mall. Super large! Super elite-looking! And, whoa, Water Fountains and Classical Music! Makati much? Speaking of Makati, Glorietta Mall was bombed. Let’s pray for th eternal repose of the souls who have died and for the speedy recovery of those who have been hurt.
I don’t know, but I ended this semester without doing anything special to her.
Is carrying her bulky puncher as we stroll Midtown considered special?
