WordCamp Philippines 2009

Posted on September 22, 2009 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

WordCamp Philippines  2009 was  a mixture of different resource speakers who gave interesting talks. Congratulations to the organizers. Woot, woot!

Beau Lebens represented WordPress. Beau’s presentation can be read here.

Markku Seguerra presented WordPress in the wild with topics about deployment,  performance, optimization and security.

I enjoyed Danny Arao’s lecture on being responsible bloggers.

I guess a lot of  bloggers need to be reminded that not because they have the freedom to express their opinions mean that need not practice restraint. And tact. ‘Nuff said.

Seth Bindernagel spoke about the localization of Mozilla. This is Seth’s presentation as seen in Scribd. Translation in Filipino?  Hmmm…

Jeff of VisitSagada.com talked about writing and blogging and yes, it is advisable to “not burn bridges and be nice”. Positivity rules.

Gail Villanueva (her presentation is here) and Karla Redor talked about things tags, CMS,  plugins, custom field, and the like. (Pass the tissue please, am having a nosebleed, hehe)

Transforming Negative Energy in the Workplace

Posted on June 23, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Negative energy has the tendency to zap out the life in you. Negative energy is not good energy for when it is aplenty, you feel burdened, slacking and lethargic.

Negative energy in the workplace does not produce the best in people who are supposed to be productive, creative and

So how can you transform negative energy in the workplace?

Be able to know the source of the negative energy. Is the negative energy coming from the situation in your place of residence? You may wake up late, hurrying through your morning rituals and riding it out through rush hour traffic. Now you know you need to devise ways to deflect this negative energy that seems to drain all your energy even before you reach the workplace.

Is it the overbearing boss? Or the pay that is always given delayed? Or the co-worker who pester you with mundane details of her job description that you almost end up doing what she is supposed to do?

Examine yourself. Be honest with yourself. Do you maintain a happy disposition and positive outlook in life? Do you feel stress and have periodic bouts of stomach cramps and headaches during the day? Do you have trouble sleeping?

The Weekly Question will focus on this topic about our paying jobs, be these former jobs or current ones.

Do you love your job?

Love Your Job

Posted on February 27, 2009 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

With the global economy slowing down, people do not choose what kind of work they have anymore. This is so true especially to those living in the third world countries like ours.

While it is also true that some people are choosy with the kind of employment they have, others make do and are thankful that they have work that pays even if the pay is meager, even if it means being away from their families. Sigh.

Others find work beyond their qualifications while they weigh their options. Nothing wrong here.
