Usher Notes

These are notes I took down during the preparation and orientation of usher and usherettes and some ideas came after my personal experience.

Places you should know:

- Smoking area (first, make sure if smoking is allowed in the event)

- Rest room for male and female

- Food and Tissue. Some might ask coffee or bottled water.

During the event

- Be observant enough. Ask the visitor if he/she has companions.

- Ask for their tickets

Avoid picture taking during delivery of speech.

Preparation:

- Sitting arrangement of the audiences.

- Picture arrangement.

- Copy of pictures of persons assigned to you. Familiarize yourself with the people you are assigned to. Before the event, it’s much better if you kept in your mind an imaginary picture of those persons.

For you.

- Eat before the event.

- Don’t bring lot of stuffs.

- Bring some energy bar just in case you become hungry.

Picture taking:

1. Oath Taking solo

2. Oath Taking with family

3. Official signing with Family

4. Official signing solo

“Birukan mi kayu”

There are some VIPs that suddenly have no place to sit, saying positive words like you will find a sit for them is a safe approach.

Search for Foundation

Still searching…. Foundation is something a should-invest-thing for a woman but I usually find those kikay kits tiresome. Once, I was so uninterested but it came to me as a necessity in the later part of my life. Part of proper hygiene is what I call it.

Since I am not really that exposed with no one nearby to influence me, I am still on my own venture into looking for the one that suits my needs. Technology got into the bloom but beauty products haven’t changed so much in where I lived. A lot of cheap products but seemingly useless still manage its way in the market. Business.

Too much factors to be consider too that I still have to uncover on my own.

With the absence of decent mall, I don’t even know where to find stuff aside from searching online. I know no one who I can seek for professional help, or just some generous tips and tricks from a friend. Still, somewhere in the road, I stumble into someone who got an admirably cool make up.

Yet I see a lot of people who doesn’t look good in their make up. Some wore a very white make up that it looks so unnatural; the color of their face and neck doesn’t even match. I myself is very conscious of the thing I use, I’m partly afraid it will just make me look worse. But being inexperienced, I am not even a good critic of myself.

Going back to foundation, so much skin service is offered that I don’t know what to choose. Should I add facial wash in my routine? Or I’ll just try over-the-counter products? If only I can just get rid of it. I’m getting fed up into retouching 3 times a day and feeling like cakey. I am thinking of a powder free life with a radiant look skin but I wonder if that would cost an arm and leg or if there’s already a product that promises same thing with a reasonable price.

Experience will teach me…

It’s good to be reunited with my blog again. I felt incapacitated during the long waits of the return of internet connection. Expect tons of blog I’ll be posting these following days. Anyway, the dates of my post in July are set into the date I created it. Due to failure in internet connection in the past, I was not able to post it right away.

Investing for my skin

I tend to have a very dry skin. It was something I don’t really mind before, but it feels like a responsibility now. Good for those who inherited a radiant looking skin from their parents. Lucky genes.

Honestly, it was a lackadaisical thing for me, but I’d better do something now before regret from aged skin will overwhelm me. I’m not used into investing something for the future. But to be wise? I have to. After all, everyone will come to that phase.

I’m careful of my health and very particular of how I spend my money. For people like me where money is something very hard to earn, wasting it to different health plans, life plans and so on is a just so serious affair. New kind and brands of supplements are being manufactured in a wink of an eye that it made me wonder of its reliability along with their manufacturer. It’s very trendy that it disturbs me when vitamins are being recycled or imitated for the expense of those disgusting businesses. I can still forgive fake gadgets, but when it comes to health? Faked medicines? It’s just so much.

I was pondering about things such as:

- Trusted brand vs. price

- Time of taking the vitamin

- Ingredients of such vitamins

- mg needed by my body

I was a fool to think of products intended outside the skin alone, for I realized, even it was partly late, that care should also come from within. No matter how much you indulge into beauty products, when you are ugly inside it doesn’t make sense at all. Nonetheless, what’s good about skin is you can affect in inside and out.

Beauty matters because beauty is our responsibility.

Most of information I found in the internet are food suggestions and claims of different vitamin products. Rarely do I find, or not at all, about how that vitamin does technically helps us. I’ve been curious a bit of how those stuff works. It would be something educational if they’ll enlighten us. Become a more conscious and wiser consumer!

Thesis thing…

Are you an Information Technology student who’ll soon have their thesis-making?

Something college students should be prepared of. This is also a very head aching phase of college life that even until now, remembering the word makes me anxious. A nightmare.

CHOOSING A MEMBER

This is a vital part of your thesis life, and somehow should be dealt in best possible seriousness. Before determining your group mates, you should first ponder about what grades you really like to have. You should also be something that has a market value before being egotistical in picking your partners in this very critical venture.

Presenter

You may want to have someone who is communication wise. Who is witty enough to answer when the jury starts to throw open ended questions.

Designer

It doesn’t really have to be so flashy. Simplicity still applies but you have to take account the environment and the users you are engaging with. It might come into a formal look yet easy to be understood. Take risk but not too much.

Source Researcher

No man is an island. You will need the help of other people. You need a member who is “madiskarte” when it comes to finding the right people that can also contribute to your team i.e. older schoolmates who can give advices. The researcher might also be in the form of a brilliant researcher in subjects related to the project.

Programmer

A member who is going all the cody stuff is needed. Having many programmer will be a less of advantage when not behaving in a team way. This is a very hard and time consuming work.

Money

Choosing a member who will just pay instead of contributing scholarly will just divide the team. Worst is having a member who got OCD problems where contributing money is painstaking and little biased-like event makes them nagging a lot. Be wise. Choose someone who’s not in only for the profit but into the experience and work.

Writer

Not so much but you cannot just run away from the documentation of the system. One writer is enough, usually from female line.

Leader

You need a leader who will LEAD.

Don’t go for a member who you can’t trust and vulnerable of getting jealous from achievement of other member.

However, this is just an ideal kind of group. Rarely will you find a perfect team.

MS Excel Line Chart: Curving the Line Chart

Figuring out how to handle simple problems when it comes to very complex software is like answering a puzzle. It gives head ache but the joy it would bring is indeed priceless when you hit the bull eye. However, the opposite is depressing especially if answer doesn’t exist or impossible. Still, you can have a short break and try stuff for a while and continue experimenting after.

Microsoft Office is a very known software but the depth of it was barely realized by many, only those who’s curious enough wanders the extremity of it. Even now, I’m still surprised to discover stuffs comprising it and finally realizing the full potential of it.

It’s not just a simple typing software, but a developer tool. It was something I realized late in my course. It is a programmer’s environment that I was taking for granted for I thought of Java, Turbo C and VB.Net stuff only. So much place to wander.

Anyway, the topic is not really of what Microsoft Office offers but this head aching simple task I was asked to make. Excites me. I miss programming.

The Line Chart shows a word legend.

Shown in the chart is the legend (x-axis) represented by number. The main problem.

Shown above is the desired result of curved line chart with word as a legend.

SCATTER CHART’S LEGEND NOT SHOWING (XY CHARTS)

A curve line chart

Problem:

She wanted me to let the legend show below the Scatter Chart. In Line Chart, it is an easy task as it will automatically place the legend below. But it was something very hard when modifying Scatter chart.

Configuring through Select Data Source window will not solve the problem. I presumed the Scatter Chart is only intended through number versus number axis. I almost gave up when suddenly I happened to convert the Scatter Chart into Line Chart.

1. In the chart, right click the Horizontal (Category) Axis and click the Change Chart Type

2. Click the Line in the Sidebar and click the first Line in the choices and click Ok

Raw data that will be used in chart

Reminder:

Before the instruction above to be done, proper selection and configuration of data that will be used for the chart is still needed such as proper highlighting of cells and selection of data for x and y axis.

There is always a solution; it may come in the form of right way, short way or long way.

It’s always possible.

There is a help section but most of the time, it doesn't help.

It doesn’t make sense. It actually has sense.
