Marketing

I think there will be more marketing reading than I have anticipated. 

My proposal needs revising and it will be focusing on adding more analysis on the technology funded by my chosen Program. 

I am still slow on the review department and have been thinking of taking a leave so that I can spend more time procrastinating...what do you think?

It is almost Monday...back to work again. 

Hope your weekend is great. Ours are full of fun.

Time Warp

It was a crazy week. I spent all day playing and surfing without any output. My list of things to do is useless. I want to spank myself for being lazy but I think this is part of the transition from lectures to exam (board exam-like).

Tomorrow will be consultation day with my faculty adviser or FPA. Sorry I can not remember the entire meaning of the acronym. my bad.

will post anything when something sinks in as I try to read and organize my thoughts. 

Happy Tuesday.

Do That

I found a cute poster (downloadable) from a friendly blogger that says:

What brings you REAL JOY?

DO that...
Be that...
SHARE that...
SPEND MORE TIME WITH that 
and 
get more joy!
I would say, it is okay to do something that is not Real Joy as long as you find yourself useful on doing something that can be not that interesting. Tomorrow is the first day of school (there are no announcements yet if it was moved or something).

I hope to find something to talk about tomorrow. 

REVIEW UPDATE:

Still on marketing management. 
Hope to hop on to R&D Management by Saturday. It is a bit slow but there is not much to do about it.

Looking forward to graduation day where everything about this business will come to an end.

Have a great Tuesday.

Up to the Challenge

I am lazy when it comes to opening emails (except if it is a personal,family/bestfriends related mails).

Today, I found an invitation to join a yahoo group sent by my professor for my only subject this term.

It has been on my blog for quite sometime. Not enough though to expire the invites. At least I still get connected to the world (other than my own, super personal world).

The egroup contains reminders on the mid-August examination (so it is real!, it can not be budged, moved, pushed over to another three months. boo.). It also have some documents that contains guidelines, syllabus for the subject and format of reports. 

We are yet to start the class on Wednesday.

I am looking forward to a stressful term. The good thing about this is that I have started early knowing it will be a lot of fun term. 

At least I am ready.

I am not sure if it is a good thing though.

I am acting crazy lately. I am actually reading my notes...reorganizing my copies of lectures and clearing my desk. 

Even the husband was staring at me like he is seeing someone else the other day while I work hard writing and murmuring to myself on my desk.

Husband told me that he is  not surprised to see me starting on my review. Was informed that his impression is that I am the person who gets what I want. 

I think he is right. Even if I was slacker during the learning process, it does not mean things are neglected until the end. 


You see,
I am Up to the Challenge.

W.I.P.

That's what is happening to my status as a student. 

I am now reviewing, although slower than supposed to, for my exam. Currently hooked on Marketing Management.

Fluffy Cloud

Yesterday I enrolled on my last subject for my Masters Program. It is my 12th subject, the 3 units that completes the 36 units of the Masters degree for technology management. 

I am happy to reach this far.


There are many things to do but the procrastination always win so even if it has been written all over this blog that i have a review to finish. Maybe a list of subjects here can help me. Here are the subjects that I have to review:


  1. TM 201: Overview of Technology Management
  2. TM 204: Management of Research and Development
  3. TM 206: Technology Marketing and Commercialization
  4. TM 205: Financial Analysis for Technology Managers
  5. TM 281: Strategic Technology Planning
  6. TM 241: Technology Acquisition and Assimilation
  7. TM 291: Management of Technology Programs and Projects
  8. TM 251: Technology-based Entrepreneurship
  9. TM 298: Technology Forecasting
  10. TM 298: Intellectual Property Management
  11. TM 231: National Innovation Systems
Yes, there are two TM 298's but they were different subjects and professors. I will try to break it down per two weeks. I have 8 weeks to review and what ever I can not tackle... I leave it to the God and Luck.


For this week, I will start with the Management of R&D while reviewing the summer 2010 subject which is TM 231 NIS.

Off to the University

Hello people! I am trying to be as connected as possible. So here I am, reporting the updates.

I will be off for school today, it is enrollment day. If you are reading this blog, you will probably realize that this is the last semester for my Masters and hopefully it will be the term where I get to complete this degree. I am excited to tackle the remaining activities for this semester although it is gonna be a long night and days for me since there will be a lot of pushing on my side to work on the paper and keep up with the review.

Anyway, here's a scenic view for you to enjoy. Have a great day ahead.

I hope to have a vacation there after graduation.
