Be the best that you can be.

Hey, what's happening guys? I have no idea what's happening to me. However, I feel that I am changing. Even all my friends tell me that. " Hey Alvaro, you have changed.", yet none of them has told me how I have changed. Yet I know that it's a pretty negative change. What happened to those tiny conversations that I used to have which seem to be going on forever? Is this a sign of change in maturity or simply just me becoming someone who is not good with his words. Even after a few weeks, I have yet to find the answer. The answers that we often seek are the ones that we do not really want to know. #AhBoysToMen. Recently I have been slowly progressing into one of my childhood dreams; Acting. As a kid, I always thought of myself having the stage or people acknowledging my efforts. Even though I missed the auditions of an upcoming local movie, I managed to get in as one of the platoon soldiers. Th...

Good news. My efforts previously have not gone down the drain. It was actually helpful to the test. Finally, I have a paper that I'm confident about. Anyway, tomorrow's paper would be about Principles of Management which is more of understanding and I have not read much of it. Hence, I shall be using the exact same method to remember and speed things up.. So bear with me.. Module No: BE 6105 Principles of Management ~~~START OF TOPIC 1~~~ Management seems like an easy word however we need to remember the definition of it. DEFINITION: Process of WORKING WITH and THROUGH OTHERS to ACHIEVE ORGANIZATION OBJECTIVES in a CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. It involves the COORDINATION and OVERALL SEEING of WORK ACTIVITIES of others so that these activities are completed EFFICIENTLY and EFFECTIVELY. In addition, we also need to know what efficiency and effectiveness is. Efficiency : MOST OUTPUT from LEAST inputs. Effectiveness: "Doing the right things" will help the orga...

Hey there. I have been reading my notes and realized that nothing could really get into my head. I'm on the verge of breaking down, but oh well, I have got to pull myself together and bring out of it. Hence, I have decided to do a blog post on the topics that I'm going to study tomorrow. Bear with me, guys. The module that I would be tested on tomorrow would be Introduction to Hotel & Leisure Facilities Management. ~~~ START OF TOPIC 3 ~~~ Topic Three: Profile of Hotel Guest Here in topic three, we would be talking about the profile of hotel guests. I have heard from some classmates that this topic is the toughest to get in. But you know what? With the awesome Alvaro, you would understand everything immediately even without taking this course. Let's ask you guys a question. What's a profile? Let me give you a hint. It's basically just some chunk of guest information stored ( in the computer ) for use by relevant departments like the front office personn...

This post is dedicated to all lovely people who love their mother and beautiful mothers/fathers out there, I wish you all a  Happy Mother's Day! Our mothers have brought us into this world and gave us life. Suffering that excruciating pain, she gave birth to us without a word of complain. Just a single smile on our faces could give our mothers the littlest bit of happiness. As long as we are happy, she would be happy. It is really not easy to bring up a child. I have once thought of how I would bring up my child when I have one in the future. After pondering on this question for some time, I still could not figure out the perfect way of bringing up a child. Therefore I conclude that there is really no perfect way of bringing up a child. Every mother has their own special way of bringing up their own and this resulted in many different personalities in everyone. I could not possibly imagine the children of the entire w...

Hey readers, Ever have that feeling of not being able to sleep because you just couldn't sort of your thoughts? I'm sure that many of us have that feeling, at least once. To be honest, I could have just gone to bed without blogging and I know that I would be able to sleep well. However what's the point of holding something back and pretend that the problem doesn't exist? Though I might be able to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow as though nothing happened, the problem would still come back some other day. Tonight, this blog post would be rather different as I wouldn't be caring much about my grammar or the way I phrase my post. Instead, I would just go along typing what's on my mind and rant. This is going to be a long rant. So, please bear with me. Badminton Yesterday was the badminton trials and I went for it. Initially, I was afraid and just simply did my best for the trials. However after getting word that both of m...

Today, I would be doing a post on my view of friendships. Friendships; This simple relationship with our friends holds many different meanings to different people. For me, it could easily be concluded by simply wanting the best for our friends. Yet again, many hold different conceptions on this. For some, it would mean going along with the friend's wishes and demands in order to have him/her happy. However, that would be entirely opposite in my stand. Though I might sometimes follow their demands and say things that make them happy, I still put on a strong stand on doing the right thing. The first thing I would do would be to analyse the entire situation before making a move. Let me give you an example which we would come across in our everyday lives... EXAMPLE A: Say, I have this friend whom I have known for quite some time and I know most of his flaws; often getting pissed off by them. I do not hide the flaws from him. I would let him know it in his face...

Today was the official opening of school. As you all know, I have moved onto another chapter of my life. I am currently pursuing my diploma in Hotel & Leisure Facilities Management (DHLFM) in Singapore Polytechnic. Though it might be one of my top few choice, I told myself that I am going to make the best out of what I have gotten. From what I have observed, the students in polyclinics are much different from secondary schools; The way they behave, the way they see things. Before I entered the school, I have already heard much about the friends that I would be mixing with. You know, the usual stuff.. "Two-sided friends"; Those friends whom you would be talking to a lot and think that they are really nice yet they could be completely different behind your back. "Hi-bye to. Well, initially, I never thought of such stereotypes to be true. However, I have been seeing these, those friends whom you would bump into in school but never really have any chance to talk uch peop...
