INTRICT ENTRY #5 Sayawan na!haha..

Yah right!...It's the dance showdown day.The most awaited day of Sir Oli but not of his students.=D..We were required to dance to fill up the 45 points that was lost during the database challenge. Actually not all of us danced, there were 6 out of 7 groups who faced the consequence. Sir Oli provided us the list of the songs in which we had the remix of those.

During that day, we found out that we have some blockmates that are gifted in doing the moves. =D. It was really fun watching our blockmates dance! Thanks to sir Oli because without him we won't able to see how talented our blockmates are.=D

INTRiCT ENTRY #4.....MAKRO!!!^_^



We had our field trip at Makro Makati last July 25,2008. We were given a chance to see how Makro receives their products from different suppliers around the globe. Before we had the tour at the warehouse, Ms. Girly Valenzuela,the Branch Manager of Makro Makati, gave us a brief introduction and history of Makro. After that, she brought us in the wet area where you can find the fish, meat and poultry goods. We were just like reporters trying to get the side of Ms.Girly.=D
Some of our blockmates used their phones in recording the voice of Ms. Girly cause we can't really hear what she was talking during that tour so they decided to use technology..=)) Anyway, after the wet area, we proceeded to the dry area where you can find obviously the dry goods like chips, soaps, and also appliances. She also showed us the place where the delivered goods are being dropped. The dry goods are being dropped in what they called the dry dock while the wet ones are being dropped in the wet dock. After the tour, Ms.Girly gave us time to ask questions regarding the processes that she had discussed during the tour. Then, after the question and answer portion, we now headed back to DLSU to make our report.


Sir Oli told us to make a project which is a report on what we have learned during the field trip. We were all surprised when he told us to pass the project 2 days after it was announced. To make this possible, we should have teamwork and patience for us to finish the project before the deadline. He asked us to make use of the newly introduced Microsoft Visio in showing the diagrams. At first it was sooo difficult using this software, but as we explored it we were now familiar with the features of this new software.=D..


I can say this is one of the most unforgettable experience I've ever had. For the first time I stayed at school doing this project till 11 o'clock in the evening! Haha. =))


INTRICT ENTRY #3..INTERVIEW w/ the BOSSES..^_^




Sir Oli gave us an adventurous assignment..It's an interview with the managers!..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go with my group mates on their interview (but I helped them in doing the powerpoint presentation) with the Manager II and Deputy Chief Director of the Department of Loans and Credit of Bangko Central ng Pilipinas because of some reasons. Anyway, they told me that they had lots of fun interviewing the people behind BCP. As I've watched the video, I've learned that being a manager requires alot of leadership skills and also the ability of working with different people. I've also learned that they are using Microsoft Excel to make their work more organize and accurate and to be more productive in doing their job.


Being a manager is a tough job especially when handling the Department of Loans and Credit in BCP. It requires alot of patient and knowledge with numbers because these managers will be dealing much with money. In this case, they should have a good technology that would help them to gather precise information and data.=D..Okei folks, that's all..=p
