The Bad Mix-up : Nihongo Exam

Of course I knew how big deal is the coming JLPT Nihongo exam for me and for my company. But again I was reminded, knowing and realizing are totally different from one another..

It's been weeks since my preparation for the upcoming nihongo exam started, which is today by the way, and to be frank with you didn't go so well. I wasn't really serious whenever I attend my nihongo class, I would joke around the class and to my sensei(teacher), cheat on quizzes if given the opportunity and so on.

I was always the cramming type of guy when it comes to exams and such, recently I've been spending more time in blogging than opening my booklet. I'm not saying blogging is to blame nor it's Winston's fault for introducing me to blogging :D , blogging just interest me a lot, and am planning to stick to it.

It started on a beautiful morning of Saturday, I was excited to chat with Winston and get my new domain name and host that day, but my excitement was utterly ruined by my internet connection. Hours passed, and the exam came into my mind. I was still lazy, my urge to sleep was far more superior than studying that time, so i kept myself from my booklet and had the longest sleep before my review. I slept around 3pm, I was supposed to get up at 7pm and start my serious review. But things just won't go my way that day, I woke up 2am the following day, the day of the exam.

So I rushed to the kitchen for some nourishments, and went up to start my review, but as I gather my materials, I realized I left my reviewers in the office, it was one of the moments that I wanted to hit myself in the head. I just told myself its OK I still have tomorrow, we start at 8am, I'll just come early and review before the actual exam, so I slept. . again..

I gently opened my eyes, it was still blurry, I turn to my left, there was the time. . . It was 7:45!!! I'm late!! I rushed to take my bath, get prepared, it just took me 12mins, I was amazed at myself but still not enough, though De La Salle University is near my place, I took a cab.. hoping time would stop.

I called some of my office mates and told them I'm on my way, I was relieved seeing many examinees on a long line to the entrance I quickly rushed and was glad I made it before the actual exam started.. . about the exam. . don't ask I'm sure to fail. .

What a mix up....

How to make money in BLOGGING?

Most of the blogs I've visited so far never fail to include post on how to earn money online, here are the things I've learned so far.

First and foremost to make money through Blogging is to have traffic, which means to make your blog popular. I just started blogging and to be frank with you I find it very difficult to find readers or to increase the number of visitors.

Keep blogging
As told by almost every blog that pertains to making cash online, blog posts must keep on coming, and constantly. You don't want someone visiting your site, only to find out you don't have anything to offer.

Comment on other blog
This is and will always be an effective way to gain traffic to your blog. Leave an interesting feedback every time you read a post and always leave a link to your blog, this way you lure readers to visit your blog.

Use of SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to your web site from search engines. SEO is being aware of the trends, of what people searches for in the internet and making post related to topic. Using http://www.google.com/trends/ to know latest trends is the only solution I have for SEO, and I think is sufficient.

Following these steps according to blog experts will produce results in a month. Hope this helps, I'll write a follow up post maybe after a month to report the result of this post. ^_^

INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and.....

PROF: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
PROF: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
PROF: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
PROF: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
PROF: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal Him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)
PROF: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
PROF: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
PROF: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
PROF: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
PROF: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
PROF: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
PROF: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
PROF: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
PROF: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
PROF: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
PROF: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
PROF: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
PROF: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
PROF: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
PROF: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
PROF: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
PROF: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
PROF: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
PROF: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
PROF: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
PROF: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

- I came across this post when I was still in college, forgot where I found it, but surely treasured it. It kept reminding me to have faith, and that God has the best plans for everyone.

How to survive working for a Japanese company?

"Survival of the fittest", guess that's the word to describe working in a Japanese company. First of all they require employees to understand and speak Nihongo, to do that they let you take Nihongo classes (in my case at least 3 times a week), which is supposed to be a good thing but because you are always busy and always in need to render overtime to catch up to every work, Nihongo class becomes troublesome. And FYI Japanese are very strict, in terms of quality and productivity, for example, you need to log all work or task you did every time like what time you started, to the time you finished. Sometimes you also need to be more specific of the given task (e.g. each task could be categorized to parts like investigation, coding, debugging etc.).

"You can't avoid Overtime", if your division or department is working on a big project, it's impossible not to have overtime, especially if your team is delayed, in my case going home after rendering 2 hours of OT is the earliest it can get.

"Work fast, or FASTER", when you're given a task evaluate your task and its given target time to finish, if you think you can't reach the due time, approach you leader and ask for extension. Because if you don't and you delayed your task, expect an interview( more like a hot seat ). So the best thing to do is to finish the task as soon as possible then try your luck on relaxing a bit, because the next task is already waiting for you.

"Never be late", punctuality is a great deal among Japanese, a punctual person who doesn't render much OT has more chance to get promoted to a person who renders 5hours OT.

It may seemed extremely harsh and it really is, it is also very competitive, but the only real good thing that you could get from all these is the experience. Your growth from working for Japanese companies is a lot better compared to local companies. Somehow it trains your body to adapt easily, to accept more knowledge in a short span of time, to be very flexible (I've done about 3 different task in just a month), to practice team work and to be very competitive.

All in all, if you survived and could excel working in a Japanese company, many companies will go after you.
