HBO Walkabout: REVISED

At first I thought I was going to do the walkabout on my own. But we were allowed to do it by pairs or by groups of 3's. So I paired up with Mr. Island Boy himself (I call him that, sort of an inside joke)--> Dindo Ofrecio

I paired up with Dindo Ofrecio and we thought of organizing a Surf Camp for first timers. We obviously wanted to make a fun-filled walkabout that we and the 'participants' will fondly remember.

this was the proposal that we made:

We will be organizing a Surf Camp in San Narciso Zambales.

We will organize and teach a group of around 10- 15 people.

Objective

We believe that the Philippines has a lot to offer and one of its

most abundant resource is the environment. We want people to

appreciate nature and experience something new. We would also

want to be able to apply managerial and leadership and entrepreneurial

skills in organizing events which appeal to our interests. We are given a

great opportunity to do this.

The Experience

An overnight stay at the beach, sleeping in tents, there will be a bonfire for the

group during the evening so that the group gets to interact with each other.

In the morning we will be heading the Surf lessons.

The Planning

We will be planning and organizing activities from conception, transportation to

group activities and safety aspect of the tour.

Using the Word COHORT

There is a change going own here at the Asian Institute of Management. The word BATCHMATE (referring to some one who belongs to your class or batch) is slowly being phased out here in the institute. They are starting to use the word Cohort to classify the batches (ex: Cohort 1, Cohort 2)

What does it mean?

A cohort (from the Latin cohors, plural cohortes) is a fairly large military unit, generally consisting of one type of soldier.

hmmm..I feel like a spartan right now. "Madness?? THIS IS AIM!" AAAHHHOOOO!!!AAAHHOO!

Development of Enterprise

Development of Enterprise is a class that I am taking up here at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). Professor Ortigas has been advocating entrepreneurship to everyone and I am glad that there is a class like this in AIM. I am already sold to the idea of creating your own business (it's like preaching to the choir) but I am glad to see the reactions of my fellow Cohorts as they try to think about ways to make money.
