The first time I went to Takao-san (Mt. Takao), I am with my friend JM. We tried to do an Amazing Race by going thru the 8 trails as indicated in its official website -- Just for Fun, but it was very tiring. (See image below) Image from Mt. Takao Official site http://www.takaotozan.co.jp/ The second time I went to Takao-san, is with my other japanese friends. This happened during winter. But that time, Takao-san was just a warm-up I did not know we are continuing to its neighboring mountains. After reaching the mountain tops, we ate kimchi and other spciy food to keep us worm. It was very memorable. (You can see more pictures in the Winter Hiking album.)

I think it was autumn when I last visited Mitake-san (Mt. Mitake). Due to the weather, that visit was very special because it made the place more interesting to see. The fog covered the place which brought a mysterious effect to the environment and a nice feeling to me. Images from my Mite Mitake Album Image from Wikipedia As described in Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Mitake) Mount Mitake (御岳山, Mitakesan) is a mountain in Tokyo, Japan. It stands 929 m (3,048 ft) tall. On the mountain is a Shinto shrine. It is one of the many highlights of the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park, which covers more than 1,250 km2 (483 sq mi) of forested mountains, hills, gorges and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo.

Just doing what Kuya Jowel did. hahaha. (Gaya-gaya) What Elmer Means You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You defi...

I was doing my nightly stumble and I saw this article about 5 ways to drive the best workers out of the door. It talks about the things that a manager should not do with best workers. Below is some of my comments of being an employee. 5 ways to drive your best workers out the door -- Listen up, managers: Employees don't quit the job; they quit you. Mistake No. 1: Keep the creative juices bottled up. [E] As a developer, if I will not be able to share my ideas about the development this will really piss me off. Mistake No. 2: Micromanage your staff. [E] Yes I think micromanaging for me has disadvantages. I, myself, don't want too be questioned every now and then about my work status. I will tell you if I have problems or have already finished with the task. Mistake No. 3: Deny new opportunities and challenges. [E] Sometimes there are new opportunities and challenges that comes your way, but sometimes you feel that there is a better path for you. When I was a newbie, I l...
