mORE pRACTICE...HA..HA..HA

I need more time and my work is really getting the best of me...I just gotta spend more time with my digital piano...I cant read music sheets and I'm self studying to play by ear...I don't know if this will work but I am so enamored by the sound created by the piano...I just want to finger the keyboards but I haven't found the time...right now I'm trying to play it using guitar chord progressions and I'm trying to do my own cover of...somebody by depeche mode...and superman by five for fighting...hopefully I could finish what I am trying to do besides my job...I miss jamming with my band...work has really separated me from my musical inclinations...all I could do was and is play on my own...guess its gonna be like that for quite awhile...maybe I could go back to my song writing again after a long hiatus...another one of my plans that gets derailed due to my job's eating up my time...I hope to do better time management in this case...set my time and priorities...any other way...there will always be the lack of time...so I better GIVE Time for these things I have set myself to be doing...as my escape from my job...good luck to me and until I can finish studying and playing those songs..ha..ha..ha..

If you ask me to...I just like this song

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

As performed by M.Y.M.P.

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling darling since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me darling
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you...

Asked me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby, for you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to...

Morning Talks...

Definitely...I have a scheduled "Talk" with the general population that is every monday morning...part of the company's culture is an embedded program wherein every morning all the employee will gather at the chapel and the daily gospel is read to the body...afterwhich this is followed by sharing and testimonials coming from various department's personnel...sometimes a reflection on the daily gospel is made by the HR Officer where there is an absence of speakers...anyway...being a predominantly catholic country...this practice is not even so commonplace to other working environments in the country...I have work in an economic zone where there were many foreign nationals have relocated and they couldn't care less on the spiritual side of development for its employees...I once asked a resigning manager what impact has the company made to him after his 10 months of service?...I was expecting a rather normal answer such as work experience...or compensation but instead He told me that He has become more prayerful...Which I do believe is quite true...I believe that whatever your communion with your god is and in whatever religion or form of what is and not...it is always there that such a belief that there is somebody "up there"...whatever that is to you...that motivates you to...be of service to others...to do good deeds...to be honest...to be generous...to be careful not to hurt other prople...to think of others needs...to be helpful...to take good care of your family...friends...to share whatever you have...can only do good for your fellow men...whatever the religion does not matter anymore...I have used my manager's talk during such times as an opportunity to empart values and instances where I could make a small dent on the vagaries of life...evil thrives where good men do nothing against it...

TQM as a management Tool

I've been tasked to develop a management strategy on how to use TQM as a tool of instilling Quality as part of the Corporate Culture...its another experiment that I could design and implement on an actual corporate setting...my thoughts are quite clear...my intentions and pure...but to have and implement such a program from scratch is the challenge..my mind is running...along so many ideas and concepts...

A critique on me...

I seem o have been lost in some way...as I read my recent post...I'm more churning up thoughts that my work seems to be getting a hold on me...its like getting suck into a paradigm...a set of protocols...or parameters...that i'm getting too linear with my behavior and thoughts...we I guess I can't help that but ...I still have to get myself "out of the box" in order for me to look at things in a different way...or think of a post that is not related to my current job...on thoughts on that...but then again musing has no rules at that...I'm a little concern that my thinking is getting too "straight"...or my job is basically getting the best of me...anyway...thats probably it...so I need to get my juices of grey matter to start looking at things...life...events... in a different light so I can write a more creative post...

Thoughts on Becoming A General Manager

I had a long meeting with the VP-Administration, she has told me that their plans for me is to groom me for the position of a general manager…to let me handle the whole operations of the factory…I have told here that on the general Administrative side of things I am really quite capable…but my competency does not include the technical…engineering side …production or manufacturing wise…A technical/production guy does not necessarily mean the he can be good in management…vice-versa….an admin guy as a production guy…well there’s the challenge of it because I feel that These things could be learned like any other skill…but still one needs to build up his competency and in this case…I need to learn and understand the process and technical side of production to be a good general manager…I am thankful that management has confidence to look my way and out CEO to mentor me on things such as these…I just hope I could learn the ropes and perform well…this I gotta see for myself...
