Time swiftly flies

Image inset was entitled “time watch” by Pipo the craftsman via PS2 mouse strokes on CS2.

Seems just a while ago, when I innocently started in AOV as an outsourced generalist for Go-[US states].com… Now, exactly, my service to the same client turns a year old.

Time really flew swiftly.
October 2005, I graduated. I still don’t have our Project Study finished, yet we got no more subjects left to take, so we’re given the privilege to march. I never attended the graduation though. ;))

November 2005, I sailed to Cebu island to review at EXCEL for the board examination. I remember the taxi driver overcharged me. I paid him P130 where in fact other taxis could get me to the review center for P50.

December 2005, I went home for the holiday break. Spent most of my time working on our project study. and much more of it playing Red Alert 2 and Crimson Land. I went back to Cebu on January, trying to finish parts of our project there.

February 2005, end of general review and start of the refresher course. I went back to Iloilo to finalize our project. Many modifications were done. We need to have it done so we can catch up passing our TOR for the board exam. March came and the Ormoc landslide news was airing everyday. More days passed, my teammates lose hope we could get the April 2005 board exam. Me too.

Detour. I need resources while staying on the city completing our project. A Job Fair was held on CPU on March 10. We (me and Pipo) applied at Eversun. Reported for interviews, and did project tests. And we hang on there - hoping a call for first day of duty might come. None. I keep on searching available jobs - on announcement boards, classifieds, radio, tv… It’s either I’m not qualified for the job or it’s not what I want. Or they don’t want me. Or there is no availability at all - for my field of training at least.

Sometime on April, we successfully presented our project study: Digital Crowd Size counter for Rose Memorial Auditorium of Central Philippine University. No reasons to stay in the city after that.

I spent my vacation at home. A usual scene for a newly grad. I returned to the city on May 15 for official family business. Then, I continued my job hunting. I was about to pass my resume and application to some companies yet I received a call from Eversun, May 16. I started working May 17. And today, is again May 17. I’m just a year older.

I’ve known much of the web business since. From data mining, to quality assurance, to article writing, to blogging, to SEO, to graphics designing, to logo making, to website design, to html, to css, to flash, to php, etc. I discovered, it only takes a good PC, a reliable internet connection, and some talents to find a stable livelihood on the net. And maybe, some luck. ;))

Runnin’ on a dedicated DSL line

Yes, an emphasis at that. Me and my team mate is sharing a 1 Mbps DSL internet connection. Speedtest.net’s result inset…

Ehehe, wanna say somethin’?

Theorygame on Game Theory…

Game theory is…..

According to wiki:

“Game theory is often described as a branch of applied mathematics and economics that studies situations where players choose different actions in an attempt to maximize their returns. The essential feature, however, is that it provides a formal modeling approach to social situations in which decision makers interact with other minds. Game theory extends the simpler optimization approach developed in neoclassical economics….”

In my own understanding, game theory is a relationship game. It could be applied to professional friendships, or in short, business relationships. In the process, the balance in both party must be preserved, where each one is secured of the benefits they are getting from the other, and vice versa. Each side’s needs must be satiated, and the relationship must be maintained to be mutual in order for the relationship to last. Any shortcoming of either side creates treason to the mutuality thus scars the trust, the sympathy, and soon, if not attended, could cut the string of commitment.

The key tool to preserve the balance of the relationship, although not a guarantee for a perfect match-up, is openness and trust. Openness begets trust, and trust begets openness. From there, the professional relationship becomes deeper, making way to personal friendships.

We are human beings - rational and social beings. We have the ability to reason, to feel, and are sensitive to what others may do especially when it concerns us. The theory of the game revolves there – our relationships with our subordinates, our bosses, our business mates…

One mistake, either intentionally or unintentionally done, when not addressed properly, may start a gap, a small gap at first, but that small gap will choke openness, which will then betray trust, however little, will betray it all. Trust is indivisible…

The next big question is - how to fix that imbalance? Easy. We can simply go back to the essential keys - openness, trust. Regain it. How? You can think again how it started and redo the applicable things you did during the first days of acquiantance. Yes, communication is inevitable. Bargaining is inevitable. Come up to a common point, where each party is happy. Come up with a win-win situation. Listen. Talk. Explain. Good communications is very important. And of course, extend your horizons. …

continuation…

Ops. Too shallow thought on there. Too biased. Seems taken from the idea of a three year old. Easily said really, and I forgot the complications of the matter… There, you can see someguy’s comment… follow the link for a more clearer, deeper theories.

… mistrust

… atleast have the advantage

… security first

…they are starting to ring in my ears.
