When I was in first year, the decision I really regret until now is that when we drop the subject Computer Programming 1 for a reasons that we cannot able to understand the subject, we don't know how to make programs,we don't have computers at home and that we are pressured by other subjects that also takes place that time. We are so damn crazy that time. How I wish I could turn back the time. If I able to comply all the subjects from the past three years, by March I will graduate. Now even though I stayed for four years in this institution, I'm still considered as a third year student as well as next year. Probably, I will take BSIT for six years and I will graduate hopefully in year 2010. I'ts quite shameful on my part because all my batch mates way back in high school will graduate on time and that I'm left behind.
At night before I sleep, i keep on thinking about the current situation of my studies. I cannot put the blame to my professors that has a power to terminate us. It was really my mistake since I didn't show the best of me. I didn't come out to my shell and show much effort to study harder. I sometimes think that I have to transfer to other school like what my other classmates do in order to graduate as soon as possible. That is one of the reason why I work in order to have some money for all the fees if ever I will transfer. But then I come to realized that I have to continue what I've started even though I will stay for about six years in my school. I have to study harder so that I will not fail. The things I've learned inside the classroom and outside the school premises will help me to become a competitive individual in my future work.

Our second visit with our chosen company happened last July 05, 2008. I’m the first one to arrive there. I’ve been waiting for my group mates to arrive for almost an hour. The time they arrived, we directly go to Mr. Llano’s office to conduct our interview and ask about our topic which is Job Organization and Information. When we arrived in his office, he is actually conducting an interview to the three applicants. We just wait for him for about 30 minutes. He entertained us while he gave exam to the applicants.
We are really confused on some of our topic that’s why we want to asked it personally to him. Without hesitation, he answered all the questions we asked for us to understand more our topic. We frequently asked about Job Description, Job Specification, Job Analysis, Job Design and Job Organization.
My assigned topic is to give some benefits derived by an organization from a complete job description, job specification, job analysis, job design and job evaluation. According to him, the work is more organized because there are certain qualifications to be followed when it comes to hiring employees and etc. He also said that, it is easy for the administrator to evaluate the performance of an employee which is true because it is under by job evaluation. We are really impressed to him because he always had an answer to what we are asking.
Our first visit with our company which is LYR Group of Companies was indeed a memorable one. We’ve been there for almost an hour waiting for us to be entertained. We are patient enough waiting for the HR manager. One of the staff of the company asked us who we looked for and what is our purpose in visiting them. That time the HR manager, Mr. Carlito S. Llano was quite busy. The time he saw us he set aside his work and entertained us. We introduced ourselves and then asked some questions about their organization. We are really amazed when he started to explain everything. He is like a teacher to all of us. He imparts his knowledge to all of us without hesitation. He never had second thoughts on sharing to us all his knowledge for us to understand what is the role of Human Resource Management in a certain company.
I really learned a lot from him. According to him, there are 4 characteristics of an employee he looks for. That is being Honest, Diligent, Loyal and Obedient. With that characteristic, an employee will help the company to achieve their certain goals and meet the expectations of others thus making it globally competitive.
Mr. Llano quoted, “Learning is Unlearning”. It means that to learn is to unlearn the things that are not good. Like always being late, for someone learns getting up late, he/she must unlearn getting up late. We can really relate to that quote since it is somewhat applicable to our daily lives.

Human beings are the most important, potent and critical resource of an organization and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its own resource. 
A certain organization or multinational company cannot stand without human as their workforce and some resources to maintain and improve it. Man is the soul and the brain of the organization since he/she is responsible in making the company to become a successful one. Without them, the company cannot meet the expectations needed for it to be called a competitive organization.
Employers must provide employees with much more information about the operation in the workplace. Thus making the employees more useful for the company endowed with good working habits.

Human Resource Management plays a major role in an organization in terms of managing and building people's capabilities in a highly fulfilling manner.As the semester started, I was quite strucked about having a Human Resource Management subject since we are not belong to BSBA or any business related course. Why is that so?
For me HRM is included as a part of our curriculum for a reason that the subject impart us knowledge on how to deal with other people especially when we are hired in a certain company in the future. Being a part of a business organization in the future requires good relationship with other people in the workplace. That is why we have to learn and value HRM not just because we need to study it but also to bear in our minds that we can apply these learnings when we will have our job in the future. Likewise, it will mold us to become more responsible person equip with knowledge on how to be a good worker of a certain organization thus building a pleasant relationship with different people not only to those IT people.

21st century is said to be the century of Common Era, a part of the 3rd millennium.Modern technology rises and it brought big impact to everyone's life. As years goes by, technology improves. It makes everyone's way of life changed. Every now and then new technology created to improve the way of life of every people and to make work done more easier and challenging.
Since we are in the 21st century, Corporations are now also engaged in the fast pace technology. 21st century corporations are more efficient and innovated compared before. That is because of the so called modern technology we had now. The use of technology will make their businesses more competitive and ready to face the world of chaos. They undergo a radical transformation as far as competition is concerned. They see to it that they will not be dumped by others. They make use of some technology that will produce good products preferably for the consumption of humans and thus satisfy the demand of every consumers. Latest softwares are also developed to input corporation's confidential facts without doing it manually. Because of it the work is done more simpler without being pressured. Likewise, Internet is widely used now. Through internet, they establish good communication in terms of business with their distributors and suppliers.
Based on what I've observed, corporations in this century make used of those brilliant machines unlike before that work is done by humans workforce. Maybe in the fast few years work must be done by robots. Pity to those people who really need work because they couldn't have it at all because of the latest technology trend. As far as I know, human is the heart of the company or corporation but now I guess it's the machine that takes place. Well technology somewhat gives advantage and disadvantage in anyone's life. It makes work done better and easier but it will make some people's life undergo a big change.
