It's no surprise that employees at the Internet search giant Google -- whose wacky cubicles are known for their Mr. Potato Head, superhero and Elmo doll adornments -- was ranked as southeast Michigan's top workplace in the medium-sized company category (151-500 workers).
"Our culture is something that we take a lot of pride in," said Jake Parrillo, spokesman for Google, which has offices in Ann Arbor and Birmingham. "Everything that we do, we do to make a better work environment for employees."

Employees enjoy a vast menu of in-house perks that include massages, free gourmet lunches and gyms. Dogs can come in for visits. The Ann Arbor facility is the headquarters for Google's AdWords operations.

Davang Shah, 32, head of marketing for automotive, said truth and openness came to life for him when he came to Google. He and his boss share an office, which encourages free-flowing discussion.

"Out of that come the best ideas," he said. "It's not very hierarchical. It's an organization that values ideas and not where they came from."

Shah has been at Google for 13 months after three years at Ford Motor Co. He receives the training he needs to do his job, and his bosses encourage him to take time off, placing a premium on employees continuing to be well-rounded individuals.

Volunteering is one of the favorite aspects of his job -- whether it's painting a school, working at a soup kitchen, or raising money for breast cancer research.
He also appreciates the diversity in employees when it comes to skills, ethnicity and religious backgrounds.

"When I look at the organization as a whole, experiences go far beyond auto-related experiences, start-ups, tech, advertising," he said. "I believe strongly that that leads to better, well-rounded ideas."

But the most rewarding part of his job is that he enjoys what he does.

"I look forward to coming to work, I'm tested in a way that I haven't been tested before and that I have the resources and work in collaborative environment to do what's best for the client."
Grady Burnett, director of online sales and operations, says Google's success lies in that collaborative environment.

"Everyone is empowered to solve big problems, we encourage them to take on challenges, that it's something they should own."

Community involvement seems to make a big difference in employees' lives, he added.

"We've seen a lot of great success and commitment in this area," he said. "The majority of people I work with are very civic-minded people. I think it gives a feeling of purpose and belonging to the broader community and it's fun to do these projects."

All I can say is wow! Those lucky bastards! I wish I was one of them. -Jay Castillo-

I've said to myself before that I would be a lot better with my finances if I would only treat my personal income the way a CFO would manage the finances of the company he/she works for. Imagine if you tracked your income and expenses and know at any given time your net cashflow for the month. Personally it was really hard at the start but with the right tools and mindset, I was able to do it.

Anyway, to get you started, why not try reading Flexo's explanation on how he’s become the Chief Financial Officer of his own life.

More than a year ago, this inspired me to start using MS Money to track and manage my own finances. It only took me a month to go from living paycheck-to-paycheck to having a positive monthly cashflow. After a year, i can confidently say that I have managed to save at least 25% of my total income, which are now in various investments. The breakdown of where my income went to is summarized below.










I'll make another more detailed post about this in the future.

Tell me if you found this as helpful as I did!

If you're like most people, you've encountered situations where you had to do something, even though there was something else you really wanted to do. Perhaps you wanted to take the kids to a movie, but you had to finish a project for work. Or maybe you had to attend a meeting, but you wanted to spend the afternoon working out. Chances are that whatever you had to do won out, and what you wanted to do got put on the back burner…yet again. Such a scenario happens all the time. People are torn being doing what they want to do (which usually involves personal activities) and doing what they have to do (which usually involves work activities). As such, they're continually searching for life balance-the buzzword of the 80s and 90s that gave people yet another thing to stress about. Consequently, too many people are running at a crazy pace in all directions, all day, only to end up exhausted, unfulfilled, stressed, and dreading that it's going to be exactly the same tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to choose between personal and work activities-between what you have to do and what you want to do? Fortunately, such an option does exist. You simply need to stop multi-tasking and start multi-purposing. Read More about it from the source.

When I read this I thought to myself this was the story of my life. Well, not anymore, thanks to this article!

Not something you see everyday, Honorable Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay surrounded by naked guys with their penises exposed.

I wonder if my wife who finished her studies at UP would actually look forward to this event. I chanced upon this picture at pinoymoneytalk.com.

I was getting coffee during break time when I heard some officemates talking about people who where rich like they were the scourge of the earth.

It then occurred to me that these guys will never become rich because thy hate rich people. If you hate them, then you definitely don't want to be like them. If you don't want to be like them, you most certainly won't be like them and this will happen through the decisions that they would be making for the rest of their lives. Makes sense right?! Of course people who get rich at the expense of others are a different story and should not be admired or emulated.

Think about it...

After an extended power outage, our e-mail server conked out and wont even POST. Our server is an HP DL380 G4 and I never thought that this 3 year old server would fail this soon and require a system board replacement. Oh well, Murphy's Law has come back with a vengeance.

Hopefully we'll get the server back online with the arrival of the replacement system board.

This will be my first post after 5 months, obviously I've been too busy to update my blog. Well at least a lot of great things have been happening lately. Let's see, I have joined REBAP Marikina chapter, I have just conquered my fatty liver (my liver enzymes are now within normal levels thanks to Liveraide), I have finally decided to buy a Hyundai Getz 1.5L CRDI, and of course, my wife has just passed the 2007 bar exams, yipee!!!

I'll discuss more about all of these in the coming days...
