A MOTHERS LOVE
By unknown Author

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00 For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00 For going to the store for you: $.50 Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25 Taking out the garbage: $1.00 For getting a good report card: $5.00 For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00 Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

Lessons:
You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent
Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give, besides money.

Advice: IF your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her.

I LOVE YOU so much MA.. Thanks for everything.. ADVANCED HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

The Emperor and the Seed
by unknown author

Here is one f the inspirational stories about integrity. Once there was an emperor in the Far East who was growing old and knew it was coming time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or one of his own children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It has come time for me to step down and to choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you." The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One seed. It is a very special seed. I want you to go home, plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring to me, and the one I choose will be the next emperor of the kingdom!"

There was one boy named Ling who was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his mother the whole story. She helped him get a pot and some planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.

After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept going home and checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by. Still nothing.
By now others were talking about their plants but Ling didn't have a plant, and he felt like a failure. Six months went by, still nothing in Ling's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn't say anything to his friends, however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she encouraged him to go, and to take his pot, and to be honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to the palace.
When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by all the other youths. They were beautiful, in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, "Hey nice try."

When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the emperor. "Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!"
All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"

When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. "My name is Ling," he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!" Ling couldn't believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?

Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grown, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!"

*╬ThouGhts oF my hEart╬*

Go to your bosom:knock there,and ask your heart
what it doth know.

The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched. They must be
felt with the heart.

All the music is important if it comes from the heart.

If you want to know me,look inside your heart.

It is only with the heart that one can see right;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

All the knowledge I posses everyone can acquire
but my heart is all my own.

If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect
flowers to bloom.

Few are those who see with their own eyes
and feel with their own hearts.

Nobody has ever measured, even poets,
how much my heart can hold.

What comes from the book is knowledge.
What comes from the heart is wisdom.

A joyful heart is the inevitable result
of a heart burning with love.

The definition above about the personnel management is clearly define and understandable. I agree on the author that personnel management seeks to motivate employees with such things as compensation, bonuses, rewards, and the simplification of work responsibilities to improve their job performances.

2. Personnel management is concerned with the effective use of the skills of people. They may be salespeople in a store, clerks in an office, operators in a factory, or technicians in a research laboratory. In a business, personnel management starts with the recruiting and hiring of qualified people and continues with directing and encouraging their growth as they encounter problems and tensions that arise in working toward established goals.

my beloved Friends

FRIENDSHIP

Many people will walk in and

out of your life.
But only true friends will leave footprints in

your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Friends

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds

discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money,loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from

the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make

them all
yourself.

Friends, you and me...
You brought

another friend...
And then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our circle

of friends...
And like

that circle...
There is no beginning or end...

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

That is why it is called the present.

Show your friends how much you care...

Assign #8: Interview about personnel

Last, Wednesday September 24, 2008 we interviewed Mrs. Florita L. Oligario HRMO3 of City Government of Davao to ask her concept on the nature, scope and role of human resource management. Her concept is similar to that of the management of organization and I agree with her because of her understandable and comprehensive explanation about it.
First she discussed to us the nature of human resource management. Their nature has evolved now and then. She told us that, before they were not so organized, they only have small group of employee, lack of facilities, they were limited to some transaction like hiring and preparation of documents and appointments. Right now their nature is more developed, their functions have expanded, their limited transaction like hiring is improved and their facilities are more convenient to use. She also added that their employee right now has some annual benefits and incentives. She enumerates some of incentives for their employee like travel package here in Davao 300pesos each and salo-salo package 100pesos for exemplary achievement of their employee. These are based on their performance rating every six months. If an employee has a good performance in 2 succeeding semester he/she received 2,000pesos and if she has fair rating, she will dropped from rules. She appeals to people that are saying employees of City Hall was not good, but they take it as a challenged to motivate their employees. Ma’am Obligario believed that Human Resource is the asset of the company and can be a human capital.
About the scope of their human resource management, she cites some of them such as recruitment, training, and payroll. In the recruitment of their permanent employee or plantilla they have some qualification to meet. First, take the qualifying exam and followed by interview with the personnel selection board. After that the credentials is evaluated, then they prepared a comparative report. The last is the approval of the City Mayor. They also have to take Civil Service and meet the minimum standard. For their non- plantilla there’s no need to take some their qualification. She stated that “not whom you know but how you posses your ability on the job”. They also conduct training for skills required and needs of their employee improvement. Their payroll is every 15th and 30th of the month through ATM.
When we asked her about the role of human resource management, she only answered us to “meet the need of the clients” same as our first respondent Sir Bobet Nacilla told us. Then we asked her if she meets her expectation of their company, she answered “More than enough of my expectation. Job is fulfilling though it is stressful and I worked beyond office hours”. The last statement she said and very proud to say it “WE ARE EXCELLENT”. (She laughed aloud). hehe..

At last..Huh!

Last Monday, Sept. 15 nainterview na rin namin si Sir Bobet. He is the head of the System Admin of the City Government of Davao. From that interview we gather some information and tips for our major paper. Even though he is so busy, he still given us time for our interview. To sum up our interview with him, all i can say we all enjoy it because our interviewee was so jolly and approachable. After our interview with him we brought some snack for him, hope he like and enjoy it. hehehe..
