Anecdote - Enrollment Adjustments

While waiting for my class (HR 24 - Personnel Management) I decided to wait near the table of the department secretary. One student suddenly came out from the office of the department assistant chairman. He asked the secretary, "Miss, may I know who is Dr. Astillero." Since I am pretty sure I am the only one bearing that surname I turned around towards him and asked, "why?" He said, "Sir I was told you are the one handling HR 24. Can I enroll in your class?" Of course my answer is at the affirmative because I only have 20 students.

He was right that I handled HR 24 subjects. But he was misinformed when he addressed me as Dr. I am still pursuing my doctorate. But I didn't bother to correct him. Hehehehe

Trapik

I often wonder how come despite the presence of hundred of traffic "enforcers" in Cebu City and Mandaue City, the roads still remained chaotic.

Is it the system of laws?

The implementation?
Lack of knowledge and information?
Simple ignorance?
Blatant disregard of the laws?
Or plain stupidity and lack of discipline?

God knows HUDAS not pay anyway.

Uncommon sense - from Tony Blair

When asked about what should one’s motive be for entering politics?
"Public service."
“It’s a noble profession, not always nobly pursued.”

The difference between party in power and party in opposition.
"The good thing about [being in] the opposition is it’s what you say that matters, not what you do.”

NOTE: The Rt Hon Anthony Charles Lynton Blair or simply Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 2, 1997 to June 27, 2007.
