batsilyer on people management


I do not intend to preach about how to handle people for i believe that there are different leadership and supervisory style applicable to different groups of different people. this article if about MY style in dealing with groupmates.

today, i learned new things about management:

a. work "smart hours" than "long hours" which basically means if you are left in the office every night cramming because of deadlines, you should reconsider your "style"

b. team management is not about how to deal with what team you have, it is more of how the team will grow (literally and figuratively)

c. the team is not the ONLY concern in management because even supervisors, managers and process owners are PART of the TEAM!!!! every member of a team is important thus all their needs (as long as it is employment-related) must be addressed.

i admit i have lots to learn and know that learning will not be completed in the near future. right now, i admit that i am enjoying the "work" because i do not have people working for me or under me but working with me.

Really, that's one fun job!!!

batsilyer ... ejusdem generis?


a friend of mine (Lady ES) called my attention whether my batsilyer blogsite is for bachelors ONLY. I felt guilty because that was neither the idea nor the intention. I cannot place in an exclusive privilege a certain class to the absolute exclusion of another. In fact, there are ways to hold the classes in unison and integration, without the other being left out.

let me reiterate the purpose: a new online hang-out for BACHELORS or those who in one way or another, are parts of the lives of bachelors. sounds exclusive? i think the "those in one way or another" clause is a catch -all intention. Thus Lady ES, for your peace of mind i say, batsilyer is NOT a proponent of "exclusio unius". If you are a bachelorette (or another bachelor for that matter --- we do not discriminate) who in one way or another has been (or is still is) part of the lives of bachelors (or past bachelors), this site is ALSO for you.

to clarify, batsilyer should not be taken from its obvious meaning and traditional concept. batsilyer is an expression of how "single life" or "being single" is. kasi parang hindi naman maganda kung ang title ng blog ko ay "SINGOL!" :)

BATSILYER loves to travel!!!


I always thought that travelling is a luxury for those who have lots of cash and lots of time to visit other places, enjoy local delicacies and meet friends and acquaintances. Now, with available low fare rates and the affordable accommodation, the joy of "backpacking" or weekend retreat can be experienced by those who have little savings and less leave credits. Travelling (at least locally) is not a luxury anymore. It is a means to recharge from the strenuous and stressful corporate environment and let the body and soul be soothed with relaxation.

I will personally share places i visited and if time and memory allow, then even the budget and tips. Everyone is free to add with their own "bachelor's information" and reviews of places, local dining sites and of course, good and affordable buys. Local hang-outs to meet friends and new souls are appreciated (we refrain from naming them to add to the mystery any local destination can offer).

I have the opportunity to travel every month this year and will soon post the destination (or origin? i think will depend if going to or fro) one at a time. Past travels with friends and family will also be revisited. If there will be experience-sharing bordering on too personal items, feel free to call my attention :)

Thats it!!! Batsilyer loves to travel and will have you all in the next travel destinations!!!

Dedication Page

please watch out for the opening of a new online hang-out for BACHELORS or those who in one way or another, are parts of the lives of bachelors.

the sight offers THOUGHTs, opinions, INSIGHTs and the process of empirical approach in the daily lives of those who opted (for a moment or for good) to be single (not necessarily uncommitted).
