The beauty and bastard-ity of corporate politics

Are you caught up in the cobwebs of corporate politics? If you are: what is your immediate reaction towards it? Will it affect you? Will you let it affect you? Shall you choose to ride the tide and go with the flow? Or shall you just shrug it off and just learn how not to affect you. Politicking requires some form of mastery and sometimes it clouds your integrity just because you have to. Power is really blinding. In politicking, sometimes there is no God..people in position plays the God. Like they made you and you have to obey every whims and commands that these people would ask you to.

In reality, these are the type of people you encounter within the corporate world:

The Lazy - does nothing but kiss the Gods. Puts the best face in front of the Gods who appear to know it all when in fact, just does not know anything. The only task these type of people know are to get other people's task to impress and just let the people below do the work for him/her.

The God - who acts and plays God like this person owns the entire company. The epitome of corruption in the corporate world. Sucks from the powers that be. Doesn't care about the people around as long as he/she knows the strategy to be in post and somewhat be relevant to the company. They would, most often, like to convey to the people to command respect and authority.

The Powers that be - well, they are the fronts to the heavens. they are really who runs the entire company. There are great people here but there are also not-so-great ones. Their decisions put the company forward, or may put the company in a rut.

The servants -  alas, these are the people who truly makes the company run while the first three are busy with the politics. They do the work that the lazy hands down, they catch the ire of the Gods if the Lazy are not fronting, and most of the time, these are the people who cleans up the mess. However good these people are, they are still, never, ever gonna go up if the first two view them up as threats.

Sad but true fact, the existence of politics pave the way for corruption and abuse of authority.

In the cobwebs of corporate politics, do you view it as beauty or bastard-ly? Are you considering to ride the bandwagon just to secure your job?

Painful experience of letting-go and moving-on...

Yesterday evening was one of the biggest blows in my life. My girlfriend for almost five years and I called it quits . But it was rather an unforgettable experience, quite having me to pass-on sleeping last night. She broke up with me through text. At first, I was shocked because we were together at church a couple of hours earlier. With me having to pass staying afterwards at their place because I have an important function to attend later that night. She texted me a couple of hours later as I was in the middle of being merry during the event, It goes like, "she loves me very much but she couldn't deal with the hurt I am giving her by not reciprocating my love to her. She has no expectations whatsoever, given the fact that she can't push me to do that and she learned to accept me for who I am, but there are things that she wants that I cannot provide and that we can not be happy moving forward since we obviously have a problem". I was distraught. I did not know what

It's time everyone flies...but with Cebu Pacific? Not anymore...

I am going to set this one straight...this has been Cebu Pacific's catch phrase for their air transportation services, "Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone (every Filipino) flies". I would like to share this horror experiences I encountered with Cebu Pacific, from ticketing up to actual date of departure. So here goes the story: It was January 9, 2008 that I decided to book a flight for 7 PAX to Puerto Princesa. I booked via their Customer Service Hotline Number. I was booked for a roundtrip ticket from MNL - Puerto Princesa and vice versa. I was given a confirmation day on January 12, 2008 on/before 3:00 PM. Ticket fare is P4,515 per head. Came January 12, 2008, a Saturday - I made my way to their ticketing office in Robinson's place, Manila to confirm booking and pay for the tickets. It was a rainy Saturday and I wasn't able to get on time (before 3:00 PM), but fortunately, I was able to have the confirmation time extended upon informing the Ticketing Agen

logitech bluetooth keyboard

I am so happy with this quite-pricey purchase of mine back in SG~the bluetooth keyboard for the ipad2. I find this device quite handy especially for me who likes to utilize the ipad for other things than gaming. It comes in very handy especially when composing emails and doing blog posts using the ipad. Connectivity and range of the bluetooth is very,very superior. Plus, this also doubles as a magnetic cover for the ipad when not in use. Got this device at around S$125 nett of discounts and GST. This also doubles as a casing for the ipad when not in use, and portable and handy that you can bring it anywhere you'd like to carry your ipad. I am pretty-sure that this will also work with other bluetooth-enabled devices like mobile phones and tablets. However, the casing and slot to hold only works for the ipad and hopefully, the iphone 5. When I saw this device over an electronics shop in SG, I never had second-thoughts of purchasing this. Thanks to the mastercard, the purchase was
