Afraid of Karma? Don't do this--->

A girl should be thankful for being single, or should she?

This is something which is inevitable during adolescence. Truly, one should be more thankful if she has suitors, especially if you get your share of roses in which you could put up your own flower shop, and the chocolates. But surprisingly, some teens now toy with the usual courtship and is getting fun out of it.

The saturation of suitors is truly an annoying scene to some. But to others, who deem it as something entertaining, a new kind of game had sprung, inspired by the 2003 movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. This game, along with its simple rules and easy game play, is the new revolution in the traditional courtship. Gone were the days when girls play peek-a-boo; behold, the newest game, How to Lose a Guy.

To play this game has its own requirements. It requires a girl who is femme fatale, battle-hardened, true heiress of a bloodline of man-haters, and possesses the determination to wreak havoc on men’s lives, whether they be gentlemen, or just the usual boy in the neighborhood. The success lies solely on the player’s skills. Actually, there are a thousand-and-one ways to lose a guy, but the ones enumerated here are a surefire way in achieving your goal:

1. Call him in times when he’s so busy. Since he’s so busy, entertaining you would be such a burden for him.

2. Never show up on your scheduled dates with him. He’d probably get tired and just give up the wait.

3. Pamper him to the point that it’s so sweet that it actually sucks. In this way, he would probably get sick of you acting like his mom.

4. Ask for something which is way too expensive for him. He’d think you’re such a high-maintenance girl and brood over his shortcomings.

5. Wear the clothes he doesn’t like you to wear. He might never go out with you again.

6. Pester him with frequent mood swings. Never give him a hint that you’re just making it up. Show disinterest in everything he says. Make sure it’s complete with all the facial expressions, especially the part where you roll your eyes.

7. Tell him you want his hair shaved off; otherwise, you’ll leave him. He might cry and pray you change your mind.

8. Tease him as a momma’s boy. He just might get sick of you making fun of him. If he asks you if you love him, reply with “Nope, but I bet your mom does”. He might get teary-eyed because you just broke his romantic moment.

9. Belittle him in front of his friends. He’d probably be too embarrassed to talk anymore. Beat him at his favorite video game, and call him “loser”. Tell the world what a sucker he is.

10. Deny that you’re his girlfriend whenever someone asks if the two of you are a couple. You might get shocked of his reaction after saying this.

11. Go out with another guy. This might get a little out hand, but don’t worry, you’ll never get hurt, but the two guys will.

The last and the most important thing you should remember:

12. You should never, ever fall in love with any of the guys you were supposedly toying with. If this happens, the game is over. The result would be chaotic, and you’ll just find yourself hurt and your heart bleeding.

Following these guidelines would ensure your success, but one should be ready for any dire consequences that might occur if the situation goes a little bit out of hand. And just like any games we usually play, this has also its own downside which is sometimes hard to evade: falling in love…

Why HRM included in IT/CS Curriculum?

In my own point of view, HRM was included because it is very necessary for us to broaden our knowledge on how to deal with people and to know deeply how human resource affects a company. Since Human resource is a significant factor in a company, people working on that company should know how to manage their relationship towards their co-worker. The subject HRM, will also help us prepare ourselves to face the real challenge after we graduate.

As what Mr. Gamboa said, "IT people will be the cause of company's progress or failure". From this statement, an idea sparked on my mind that as technology evolves, companies also goes up to a higher level that's why they need a computer expert or US IT people to run the company's system. But it is also up to us on how we manage our job, whether we make the company progressive or put the company down. That's why, this subject needs a deep understanding and analysis to have a clear idea why human resource is important.

21st Century Corporations

21st Century is already here, along with this is the evolution of technology. Technology, which is the major factor why we have all these things today. Because of technology, several things had change and develop, and a corporation is one of them. A corporation is the most common form of business organization , and one which is chartered by a state and given many legal rights as an entity separate from its owners.

Today, as we live in the 21st Century, corporations have gone far and start to take on a role of greater social responsibility. It is clear that this increase in power brings with it greater responsibility. I have observed nowadays that corporations are very competitive and have greater social participation in terms of its “civic” involvement. They provide value for the entire society in which it functions with initiatives that are not just limited to its strict area of activity. Human Resources are very significant to a corporation today, because it's the head and the hand that runs the whole corporation.

Businesses use several techniques in downsizing, including providing incentives to take early retirement and transfer to subsidiary companies, but the most common technique is to simply terminate the employment of a certain number of people.

McClatchy Plans to Cut 1,400 Jobs, 10% of Workforce

June 16 (Bloomberg) -- McClatchy Co., owner of the Miami Herald and 29 other daily newspapers, will cut about 1,400 jobs, or 10 percent of its workforce, to save $70 million annually after a record drop in industrywide advertising sales.
The reductions are part of a plan to cut costs as much as $100 million in the next four quarters, Sacramento-based McClatchy said today in a statement. The Miami Herald plans to eliminate 250 positions, or 17 percent of its staff, and the Charlotte Observer will cut 123 positions, or 11 percent, the newspapers reported.
Tribune Co. and New York Times Co. have also reduced staff to save money as companies that historically advertised in newspapers shift their spending to the Internet. Newspaper print ad sales slumped 14 percent in the first quarter, the most on record, the Newspaper Association of America said June 13.

Causes of downsizing:
*Ad sales at McClatchy, which also publishes the Sacramento Bee, fell 17 percent in May after a 15 percent decline in the first quarter.
*The company was hurt by the housing market slump in California and Florida, where it owns eight daily newspapers.
*McClatchy fell 11 cents to $8.04 at 4:01 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have declined 36 percent this year.
*The stock has lost 84 percent of its value since the company announced plans in March 2006 to acquire Knight Ridder Inc., the second-largest U.S. newspaper chain at the time, for $4.1 billion.

The job cuts will come through attrition, employee buyouts and firings.
