At night my mind had been programmed about the strike. That's why I felt difficulty got rise early in the morning. Imagined I rose nearly noon time with a stressed body. I attempted to get in the office in the afternoon, but unexpectedly I was trapped in the main city (Cebu) because of the strikers dominating the crossroad of the city thus blocked the roadway of the passenger vehicles.
I decided then to back home from the hot situation there. Otherwise, what I did was bought 2 CDs, used for burning the secret movie, be given to my brothers in faith who got interested in. Not only burning CDs at home, I enthusiastically designed a bookmark with the picture of Karen and her best friend by using the Photoshop. Thru her I got interested more of using the software and enhanced my photo editing skills. Thank You!

Taking The Responsibility
The schedule of bringing together the "D" and "S" of Locale of Lawaan was set last afternoon. Our plan was to go together for a worship service to the Locale of Cebu City, the center of Cebu District.
Our assembly time was 1:00pm in Lawaan Locale. Initially, we estimated only maximum of 30 who would go with us. But during the time it's exceeded even to 40. We got a trouble of our preparation. The # vehicles to be used as well as the amount of snacks for them.
Through the help of Bro. Atilano, we optimistically found ways on how to solve the problem. Instanly the solution immediately surfaced, when his other vehicle was on-the-go to fetch us after several attempts in finding a driver.
Immediately we rushed out going the place and on the way I was doubtful that we could come on time and get in the worship place.
It seemed someone was guiding our way because even in a small amount time we'd still able to come on time and attended the worship service. I know God is the one responsible for coming out the right solutions and guided our way out.

An Impact of MV Princess of the Stars Tragedy
It's already a week time I'd heard the tragedy of MV Princess of the Stars but I kept away on the conversation of my friends and relatives because I didn't want to felt the negative emotion it brought to the people again and again.
Until such time I couldn't anymore afford not to participate the emotional conversation initiated by my mother during the strong downfall of the rain outside our house. Together with my brother they talked about the sad fate of the victims leaving with a great sorrow of their loved ones and relatives.
As they kept on the conversation, I felt deeply touched when I began to imagine myself in such a tragic situation. I realized that life is beyond our control. Life is priceless that must be valued of every moment of time. Even a great amount of wealth can't saved someone's life. Because we're just a borrower of life. That's why it is reasonable that we must give a heartfelt thanksgiving to the owner of life - God.
Because of this event, I commit to myself to regard my life as a treasure to be valued most. To act in accordance to the will of God and to regard and savor good relatioship with my friends, family and love ones. Give it the topmost priority to serve God and render service to humanity as the ultimate mission of everyone living in this world.

Open Source Initiative Meeting
Open Source Technology is the key tool of Blumango Technologies in coming up a systems solutions. All the projects and applications made were developed under the care of open source technologies.
The latest product being launched in the market is the QuickEnroll- a web-based enrollment system developed by the project team of Blumango Technologies using open source.
Part of my marketing effort is to endorse the Quick Enroll to its target market - schools. That's why last morning I decided to drop at the Cebu Technology School to meet with Larry, in charge in the IT department. Through him I was able to meet the important figure of CEDF-IT and at the same time the president of the CTS school. I just call him by his first name Jose. He is so friendly, smart, and knowledgeable in sharing the power of collaboration being encouraged in open source concept.
In fact before I began to formally gave him an overview of the QuickEnroll, he enthusiastically shared their ongoing project of coming up an enrollment system, charging every student with P1.00 per month. It's a straight competition then to QuickEnroll.
But anyhow, I let him talked and shared about more of their open source initiative project. Until such time he offered me a recommendation that their team is willing and open for any collaboration from Blumango Technologies with their existing project and both would gain good profits.
I completely sold out his idea and instantly asked for a collaborative meeting of which he agreed to make it happen as soon as possible. I felt great about the great opportunity being opened. Thank You!

Relationship Highlight
Together with Sir Bingo we went to Boss Coffee for a meeting with the IT Manager of FairChild Company named Benjie.
As we going to the meeting place I had a good conversation with Sir Bingo about the marketing status and strategies to have a good position of our target market (MEPZ companies. He told me an effective approach he applied from his other company, the Newgen Chemicals. The approach of relationship building in dealing with industries where hard selling has no room for it. I treasured the tip being shared because I personally sold out the concept from my previous reading of marketing books. Yes, this time would be a real scenario of what I've learned from books.
Immediately in the office, I updated my personal development enrollment sheet. Because I opted to enroll the new course "Relationship Building".
From now on, I'm committed to take this course seriously until it's completion.
Once again, thanks for the tip!

A Good Complain
We got together with my brothers (Rex and Joel) and a sister in faith(Shirley) to the establishment of Home Sonic Appliances Center occupying a place at the 2nd floor of Gaisano Fiesta Mall.
At first we felt uneasy to proceed with our purpose. The purpose to clarify and make a request of return to the products being claimed as the winning prize of promo. We decided to return in back because they we sensed that they manipulated my mother to the extent her supplementary card had been charge of the worth P51,000 as the way to claim the prizes. Aside from that the we looked at the products as liabilities not an assets.
With my brother, Rex we had fired the manager in charge a lot of proving questions that we observed the failure of her to gave a direct and honest answers. She kept of swerving my questions being thrown out. Imagined she denied about their words of what they told to my mother about promo winning prize. Instead she reason out they had informed only about their gift certificates offerings. In fact my younger brother could witnessed their emphasis about the promo as their very sweet word of convincing.
I knew she would never get the word about it because she was might be in question about of DTI permit number.
I understood their type of sales strategy. It's a matter of manipulation just for the sake of selling even sacrificing the customer satisfaction.
To make the story short, upon our professional proving questions that nearly surfaced their manipulative strategy , they had not any more resisted our request to return back the products in return with the cancellation of our payment.
From then the conversation went so friendly after I gave my apology of being so harsh to her and unfriendly tone of voice.
It was my first time to act a bad guy and I couldn't imagine I did it perfectly after hearing the recorded conversation.

Unquestionable Promo
As I opened the door going inside my house, it caught directly into my attention the comfortable massage chair lying in our sala. I began asking my parents where it came from and who brought it. My mother told me that she won it in the promo. I was surprise and glad to know about it. Gave a hand of congratulation to my mother and immediatley sat down the massage chair. It worked good and massaged my back more satisfying and relaxing. I was so impressed of how technology brought comfort to people's lives. A few minutes I found out that there were add-on prizes just like inductive cooker, door buzz, and others.
Later, several minutes passed by, my mother confessed to me at low voice about the real scenario. She told me that someone called her from the Home Sonic Appliance Center located in the Gaisano Fiesta Mall. Together with my brother she rushed out to claim the prize. As what my mother foretold that several sales lady welcomed them warmly of which my mother was overwhelmed the excitement. Until to the point someone told her that in order to claim the prize of the promo she must bought any item worth at least 50T pesos and got immediately the winning prize of massage chair worth 100T pesos. My mother wanted to pull back the offer but she wouldn't able to refuse because of their manipulative sales tactics supportive back my sales team. According to my mother that they were so hard in convincing her to use the supplementary credit card just to take advantage of the good prize promo.
At home my mother was so regretful of the decision she made, a worth of 51,000 pesos was charged from the credit card.
With the situation being presented and analyzed it, I raised the following questions of doubt in my mind about the promo validity:
1. Why they could not clearly tell the winning source exactly?
2. Why they never ask any coupon for claiming?
3. Why they had charged a price in exchange of the prize?
4. Why they were so manipulative?
5. Why my mother had not received any certificate of winning?
Because of these aforementioned questions, I decided to talk to their management and clarify the things I formulated thru the mentioned questions.
