Got some suggestions early this year from my mentor, and one of them is to register with Kontera as this would give an additional revenue for my site with it’s contentlinkâ„¢I almost forgotten his advice until last May 21 when I’ve got no sites to lurk, I suddenly found myself on Kontera’s website applying as a publisher. I recieved an email from them and told me they would review my site, and that I would have to wait two days for the results if websaytko.com would pass the requirements. read more..

Who Can Threaten Your Relationship?

Maybe it’s us, girls, who are mostly concerned about the answer to the question because we’ve been accused of being perpetually jealous of those people around our men (or women). It’s like no matter how faithful our partner can be, still, we cannot remove from our minds the merest possibility of an opportunity for infidelity. Gut feelings can be helpful. However, an overworking imagination can spell danger and disaster for a beautiful relationship.

For the men, I think they are the jealous type, too. Only that they wouldn’t willingly admit that they are jealous, in keeping with their cool macho image. Haha.

So, who are these people that can threaten your relationship?

No more moon?

just a moonNorth Korea unabashedly blows up the moon

NORTH KOREA – The world thought that North Korea didn’t have the nuclear firepower to hit Japan let alone the moon. They were wrong. At approximately 11:20 P.M. EST North Korea changed the world forever. Using an advanced space missile that the world has yet to even wrap their mind around, the North Koreans showed of their firepower to the world by hitting the moon. The launch point of the missile remains unknown although an anonymous source says the government thinks it is Nampo, North Korea. read more

But are you certified to take this picture?

Manila Bay Sunset_erisacTesda (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) whose sole mission is to provide direction, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skills development here in the Philippines, has been approached by the FPPP (Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation) and some of Manila’s old time bigwigs in the professional photography community to develop a certification and qualification standards for all Filipino photographers.

What brought this about was supposedly the emergence of cheaper, better, and easier to use digital cameras, which is now breeding a new generation of wannabe photographers. I think this certification business is fine and dandy, BUT I wonder, does this certification apply to everyone, or only to those who had purchased a high-priced dSLR from the past year or so ago and now becoming so good with it that he is fast becoming a threat to the revenue stream of professionals currently doing advertising and wedding shoots?

If certification becomes a requirement to newbies only, won’t this propagate the so-called ol’ boys network and keep the new talents outside hanging by the fringe; forever dependent upon the blessings of the old timers? Hence, hinder inchoate trailblazing perspectives associated with the young.

Will Tesda someday require our composers to take certification tests as well? Come to think of it, with the proliferation of affordable synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines and Mac laptops, anyone can write music as accompanying soundtrack to those TV ads. I’m not sure about the local music business, but in the States, I know of young people making substantial income from royalties derived from writing music for TV commercials and video games. None of these kids went to music school; they’re simply driven by their intense desire to make music and now making incredible money from it.

How about our writers and poets? There are now computer programs available to make writing novels and poetry easier. Shouldn’t these people be subjected to certification as well?
