UFM DPs: UNLEASHING CREATIVITY As part of the University Freshie Month campaign, AdCore members were asked to change their Facebook profile pictures into one of three illustrated images of Lego people.

However, rather than simply doing just that, we used this as an opportunity to make these DPs our own.

Cinderella s t o r y Back in 2012, I remember never having enough space to tambay with all mems and co-apps. There was too much furniture that hogged all the little space AdCore had, the floor was always dirty with food and beverage stains, and rats and roaches weren’t out of the ordinary. As semesters rolled by, I’ve witnessed the constant relayout of furniture, the disappearance of some, and the appearance of others newly-bought.

But something happened to the AdHouse while all the members were away enjoying the 4-month summer break.

Its very own Fairy Godmother appeared in the form of Mayrick Ong who decided that “Enough is enough. It’s time to pimp this room.” With the power of his small Chinese eyes, he and his cleaning army transformed what was becoming a storage room into a true home worthy of its consistent perfect cleanliness rating.

Only time will tell when our precious tambayan will find its other half (that is, another half of a room). One thing is certain: mas masarap nang matulog sa umaga. Thank you, Team AdHouse! Therese Aseoche

#2 Fill in the blanks. With AdCore, ______.

ANSWER:

Your body accepts the rest and relaxation it knows it deserves.

With AdCore, you couldn’t ask for more. —Elijah Dizon

The moment your body is telling you to relax, you need to say yes. You can’t do your tasks without a rested body, right?

Otherwise, you’d be producing not-so-okay stuff, you might fail

I think what is important to “lessen the guilt” is that you have

ANSWER:

Hi there, anonymous person. I take it since you asked me

a question about time management that you’re having trouble

that you’re polite. Because at least when it comes to work (let’s

balancing what’s on your plate right now. To be honest, I’m not

say within teams or asking another mem for help), I think we

that great an expert on time management.

are all pretty open to helping each other out. Generally, i think

its hard to get people to do things for you if you sound bossy,

are masungit or approach them like your best friends when you

really aren’t (aka feeling close). Because admittedly it works or

can work with some people, but I think these can only take you

so far. Eventually, hopefully sooner than later, you should

really try to get to know the person/s better because what might

work for someone, might not work for another (I think

this would be especially helpful if you’re working within teams).

I remembered writing a paper on this for Eng 10. It was on procrastination and how it is an inevitable thing; that no matter how much you try not to procrastinate, you’re still doing so by putting one task ahead of the other. Don’t worry. There’s a solution for that. It’s called “prioritizing your tasks”. You can weigh out whether task A is more important that task B and/or C. If so, you can go ahead and do so. Otherwise, do task B/C/D/

If its really hard to get a “feel”of how a person wants to be directed, then I would suggest just asking that person directly.

There is a way of bringing up how you do things and finding a certain compromise or common ground with how other people do things as well. Because what we feel might be working, might not always be accurate and so to lessen miscommunication, I would suggest just putting it out there.

Timing, i think would also help. If you already know the nature of your request, evaluating how long it will take for a another person to do it will help you in knowing when to ask. Because for sure, if you ask a mem to do something heavy and give them limited time, not only will you feel guilty but also suffer the thoughts of a mem feeling angry or annoyed towards you. —Sabrina de Ocampo

#8 Angela Rayos del Sol, how to stay fresh and bibbo amidst strezz ANSWER:

It’s common to hear people say to “not spread yourselves

too thin.” Personally, though, I think there’s no such thing as

“too thin.” Stress is something that you’re given the

opportunity to handle. Para lang yang time that flies fast, but

you’re the pilot. It’s up to you how to balance the stress! When

you feel that it’s taking over your life na, STOP - BREATHE

- THINK IT’S A GOOD LIFE! And of course, love what you do.

Always! That way, you’ll never feel burdened.

And my favorite line -

Stressed, depressed, but well dressed

Don’t let your stress show! Walk it like you talk it – with all

confidence and style!

Noong App Ako As members of the organization, we’ve all had certain unforgettable moments that we had when we were just applicants. Of course, these moments are unique from one another. Whether we were alone or with a group, we all had those special and life-changing experiences during our application process. To better reminisce these memorable instants, here is an AdCore version of a #ThrowbackThursday and #FlashbackFriday merged into one based from personal accounts from members. Sam Tamayo

5. Spend Your Free Time at AdHouse or “Thank you for reading what I wrote” At the end of the day it does not take a spy to actually complete a sigsheet. Rare mems will always find time to go to the AdHouse even if it just to say hi to old buddies. Just keep your eyes open and never be shy in asking who just came in. It also helps if your buddy parents are Connectors because your sigsheet days will be a breeze. Having the sigsheet is important because it provides us the opportunity of saying hi to each other because even in that brief moment we know that we belong to the same team and the same family.

You know their names, and you know their positions. But who exactly are the ExeCore IX? How are they able to manage an organization made up of loud and crazy members?

It was the first

semester in my first year in college when I applied, which meant two things; I had a ton of time on my hands, and a lot to learn about college life. The app process allowed me to meet so many people, people who introduced me to college life, and became some of my closest friends.

6) TIPS ON HOW TO BE THE BEST MANAGER OF HIS/HER DEPARTMENT?

Create something that you’ll truly be proud of, a concept that you can really call your own, something that excites you every time you see it. The high you get when you see your work come to life is really motivating. So motivating that you wouldn’t notice what a great job you are doing already!

2) WHAT WAS YOUR APP BATCH AND WHY IS IT THE BEST APP BATCH
