Last January 21, 2010, I attended the session on Business Economic Briefing For HR Practitioners spearheaded by Ariva!

Glad I was there because it confirmed my initial thoughts and I was able to align some of my plans with what is happening in the local business front. I think all those who attended benefited from the session, read what others have to say

The topics are very relevant and informative. The facilitators is knowledgeable and experts on their respective specialization. Hope you have trainings/seminars that are specifically cater to the BPO / Call center industry.

I loved meeting new friends in the HR world and got to know their best practitioners thru their sharing and inputs. This is the best ever I’ve attended. The facilitators are very inspiring. Highly recommendable… ARIVA

Great! The fact that ARIVA pursue some advocacy directions. The ARIVA staffs are very approachable, accommodating and know how to take care of their clientele. The speakers are good and experts in their respective fields. If my company would allow me, I would like to attend another ARIVA seminars. - Earvene Jared S. Cunanan - BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY

Thank you for the opportunity to attend this excellent program!- -Anonymous-

The two presentations were excellent! I liked the videos as introduction & can relate to the topics. The facilitators were excellent. One day training was not enough to discuss everything. Lack of time for open forum for the 2nd presentation.

As the presidential election approaches, friends are asking who will I be supporting?

One friend thought I am supporting Villar because he saw a photo of me and Villar in Facebook. But he sent a message and said he is confused because after the photo with Villar, I published a photo with Mar Roxas , Chiz Escudero, Bro. Eddie Villanueva, then with Gibo Teodoro… Ha ha ha. Well, one of the perks of having an online persona is that you are presented with opportunities of meeting these high profile individuals. Allow me then, to take this opportunity to make my disclosure:

Win Some Lose Some In 2009

While planning for 2010, don’t forget to look back at your performance for the past year (2009).

Looking back, I have done better in some areas, and perform badly on others. One area that I performed poorly, among others, is that I blogged less beginning the 3rd Quarter of last year causing the Alexa ranking of this blog to drop. Yes, I successfully opened new blogs but I just don’t have enough time to update all. The demands of daytime job is simply too much. Likewise, I successfully opened a new stream of income by selling online and doing consultancy on web 2.0 marketing. I did well on the Marketing of health products but unable to keep up with customer demands, again, because of the requirements of my daytime job.
