One minute Manager

I just finished reading the management book, The One Minute Manager and i cant wait to apply it at work.

In a nutshell, its about One Minute Goal Setting, letting your agents know that they are accountable for whatever actions they have. Identifying the problem and finding a solution. If you dont have a solution to your problem, then your just complaining.
Like all resolutions, it should be written down and consistently check if your meeting the goal or not.

If you are meeting the goal, give the One Minute Praising. Acknowledge the behavior that it was accomplished. A touch or pat at the back would be appropriate only if you are comfortable doing it and if its the same thing for the receiver. Do it immediate. Let them feel you are joyous and proud of their achievement. Catch the person doing something right.

If the goal wasnt achieved. Do the One Minute Reprimand, immediately give feedback to the behavior and make sure that its not personal. Let them feel that youre doing this because genuinely you are concern for their performance and the effect it has to the organization. Let it sink in to them that what they did has a consequence but its noting to attack them personally. After the discussion, move on.

So now, im excited to do it step by step and let them know what im doing so they can share it and apply it in their lives as well.

Out of Topic:
Im listening to Kate Nash singing Flourescent Adolescent by Artic Monkey. C-O-O-L. I love her na.

Its not Winter Wonderland Anymore

Last night when i walked through the lobby of my office, i was waiting for the cold wave to hit me. I was disappointed. Its gone. Too bad, my mom gave me 2 jackets, to add to my many jackets, and i was ready to strut it publicly. So ill just wear it in the office instead.

Bebe Gandanghari

I swear when i heared about Rustom Padilla being dead and Bebe Gandanghari is alive and kicking i was so amused. When i watched the Startalk interview on Youtube i thought i would laugh so hard.

I was really annoyed with lolit and Butch on how they question Bebe. Its as if theyre making a joke or a mockery out of his being Out in society.

I respect people coming out and being honest about being gay. You may say i have a different way of seeing things but life is short, we have to make the most of what it could offer. Decisions we do would make us stronger after learning a thing or two on the challenges this brings.

So long live Bebe Gandanghari and all they gay friends i have.

Boracaytion

This should have been posted ages ago. Four friends, another journey. Boracay or Bust.
The best vacay is when you are with the people you love who accepts all your quirkiness. Things to do in Boracay.

Drink San Mig Light under the stars and the cold breeze.

Drink Jona's shake and finish it...brainfreeze!

Snorkle or try snorkeling with the gusty waves and the strong wind. I just had a pix with Patrick then we let him back in the water.

Watch a beach wedding and even pose beside the bridal golf car.

stay in the best and affordable place in Station3.

Cloud watching.

Get a henna tattoo, i got one on my nape too.



Grotto shot

Reef walking

and Drink Frozen Mango Margarita.

Eat seafood

Bask in the sunset.

We did so many stuff like eat and walk miles and miles and talk and catch up. Laugh until we cry and discover each other once more. Until our 2009 vacay.

December Lakwatsa

It seems i was in hiatus during the holidays. My hands were so full i didnt have time to blog. How's your New Year? Im way past my holiday mode, its back to work again.

Just want to share the trips i had last December.

Hanz and I had our annual lakwatsa and we visited Cagayan de oro and Camiguin.

Whitewater Rafting


With the other tourist


Im the one at the back with my mouth open, screaming for dear life.

They made us stand and pose.

And row and row again
After that we went Line zip and walk on planks 100 feet abouve ground with the safest harness and slimest planks in the world.


We had dinner at Divisoria. That's where almost everyone goes out and have a street party. We had the yummies lechon and kilawin. For lunch we had isaw and chicken.

The day after we took a ferry and went to Camiguin. We even saw dolphins in the wild, it was a wish granted.

We visited Guiob Ruins

The place was surrounded by 7 volcanoes and water. It was like water on your left and volcanoes on your right. There was Sto Nino Cold Spring were little fishies are munchin on your skin. The famous Cemetary.

> And since it was Christmas Season, you can see different kinds of Parol per baranggay.
Nice view of the sunset.
Next stop Ardent Hot Spring, check how hot the water is.
In the morning we went to White Island.
