It has been a habit since we’ve been partners in school to go out and shop after we get our shy pays. We can actually used it all up in one mall visit. There’s food, clothes, “unnecessary” things and more food tripping.
Then we decided to use some of our money to buy books. More deserving of our pays, I think. Thank God there’s Book Sale. You can find books as low as Ph30.00, like I did. I bought two hard bound books, one is for Php70.00 - Little Doors by Paul Di Filippo and After Dachau by Daniel Quinn for only Php30.00. A hundred bucks for two hard bound-used books (they’re clearly looked unused to me) is such a good deal to pass up.
I’m a one sitting reader. If and only if, I find the book really really interesting. There are stories that I can’t stop reading, and would only leave the book open to go to the bathroom or eat. And After Dachau is one of those worthy books for my time. My hundred buck purchase didn’t disappoint me at all. After Dachau is sucha good read if you’re into Reincarnation and English History. It is fictional and at the same time very informative on historical matters that dated back during 1920’s.

I will be trying different things from now on. Things not including alcohol, nicotine, and partying. And spending my whole paycheck into empty things.
Like for example, useful and informative blogging. I have been trying to get into it for a long time now, I just can’t find the right timing and inspiration to actually do it. So what made me start now? Paid blogging. Fun right? Paid or not, I will still continue to blog.
For some blogging is a form of tension release, as well as mind therapy. When you have lots of things in mind, and you can’t stop fidgeting alone, you would always want to talk and say things aloud. Just for the sake of releasing it. The usual bigger problem on top of that is you don’t have anyone to talk to. No loved one to share it with, friends are all busy, or you’re a plain dead kid.. a loner.
I do that. Most of the time. Hell I do that everytime I blog. And often than not, I actually don’t care if someone reads and comments post after post. But I’m getting tired of my usual topics.. i mean topic.. myself. Boring. For most blog hoppers. Not for me. so it’s time to make a change.
From now on, I will keep my personal blogs in my multiply page, where most of my friends can annotate, and informative blogs here. Topics would vary from my passion: teaching to whatnots like grass or rain. Whatever that can be useful to any form of creature who flies around the cyber world. Music, movies, books, people, happenings. My grammar isn’t at all grand, but I learned English enough during my school years, so pardon me if I lack a little in my communication skills. I ask of you now for a little encouragement and appreciation that a small blogger like me can be an instrument to cater to whatever needs bloggers and non-bloggers have. For now, let’s just leave this blog as it is. An intoduction.
Thank you.
In one of the Philippine Daily Inquirer articles just last month, I read with interest the story about policemen taking the roles of teachers in far-flung areas with insurgency problems. They teach with gun on the side and chalk on one hand. The former is true while the latter is, well, just a thought, considering how anorexic the budget for education has been going on for years. But that’s another story. This is the story of how children cope with their pressing environment and of how “human adaptation” is worth thinking over.

Summer’s over and it is “back-to-school fever” here in the country. This year, we are encouraging everybody to follow this simple green school tips.
Kid’s Baon. There are cafeterias saying “no-no” to disposable containers. This means kids would have to use insulated baon containers, or washable lunch kits. This is to atleast help minimize the bulk of cafeteria wastes like soiled tissue, tetra packs, or juice cans.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard more than 30 years ago. We all know him as the founder of Microsoft. He held the title of being the richest man in the world for 13 years. This year, he’s no.3 mainly because he now focuses his time and attention to others in need. Gates has donated about $800 million to charities. Last year, Gates received an honorary degree from Harvard and he delivered the graduation speech for the class of 2007. If you wanna be entertained and inspired, watch the videos here
I’m glad that Commission on Higher Education or also known as CHED stopped any increase in tuition for state universities and colleges (SUCs) here in the Philippines. They are also convincing private higher institutions to reconsider their plans to hike tuition and other fees for this school year…b

Makoy is 26 yr old IT guy who loves to write, thrilled with movies as much as his favorite American food, fascinated with politics, current events and money matters, an entrepreneur in the making, and a certified Ortigas blogger.
There’s news regarding no tuition fee increase in all private and public state universities and colleges according to Commission on Higher Education Chairman Romulo Neri. The one I posted earlier.
According to Neri, CHED officials are still reviewing the petitions of state and private universities regarding tuition fee increase. Well its good news to hear that there will be no tuition fee hike for every average Filipino family. We are still suffering from side by side increase of basic commodity needs like rice, flours and breads, weekly increase of oil and recently the poultry and hog products, veggies and sea foods, effect by recent tropical depression Cosme, we can no longer absorb another increase in form of tuition fees. At least sophomores, juniors and seniors can continue their studies without hard thoughts. Increase was good for the development of facilities of the school establishment, but does the teachings and trainings improves? For some known colleges and universities yes, but how about some schools that doesn’t even passed the CHED standards?
Is it really good news? Well Neri however said colleges and universities do not need CHED permission to increase fees for the incoming freshmen. Whoa, how about other students who wants to get a degree courses or even associates. Survey says many average Filipino families are considerable to be poor these days. What if theses families can no longer afford to take their children to schools? The main reason of poverty here in our country is education, so how can we arise these problems if education it self were too much of the costs. Only in the Philippines, education is a business and not an institutions, you be the judge. Rodel.
I have a lot of classmates who doesn’t want to be in their course (computer science). It’s whether they want to be a fashion designer, photographer and other careers that are not related to computer science. At the middle of the semester, they shift to other course. Others are struggling because their parents want computer science for them. Realizing this, I want to save others from picking the wrong career for them. If you want to be a computer science major, then you need to consider these 7 questions.

Amid the crisis, however, the CSC Forest represents bounty. Today, squirrels can be sighted in the forest including snakes and other wild animals. It represents an ideal environment beyond the four corners of a government edifice. It represents an environment of what our country should be.
We lost track of the trees we planted at the Department of Agriculture and NIA. It reminds us of the past, however, whenever we see flowers of rain trees blooms as rainy season approaches while we walk along the alley of the Office for Legal Affairs. We can only hope, however, that those trees are now as tall, as big and cared dearly, where squirrels can hide, live and play in peace, like in the Civil Service Commission’s Centennial Forest, presently under Acting Chair Cesar Buenaflor.
The CSC Forest . . .

Summer getaways are almost over and two weeks from now, students like me will have to face another school year ahead of us.

But still we cannot change the fact that we will be coming to school soon, so I prepared a BACK-TO-SCHOOL guide.

YPEC: The Beginning
Bringing Back the Christmas Breeze: A Look at Global Warming, Greenhouse Effect, and the Simple Solutions that We Can Offer… It all started with a blog post, a post that has turned the spark into a flame and fueled the desire to do something for the rescue of Mother Earth.
A lot of articles about the environment have already been written and published – its present condition and the problems it faces in the midst of technological developments. Realizing that something has to be done beyond words and print, several young professionals have joined together to take steps towards saving the environment. The Young Professionals Environmental Club (YPEC) was born.
The young professionals in our society are the ones who will take the place of our leaders in the future. They are the ones who will be the future foundations of families, the prime movers of change. Therefore, young professionals should be aware of our society’s pressing problems. They should develop the spirit of initiative in facing and solving these problems. It is only then can they be really prepared to take the place of the leaders, ready to provide the people direction towards a better life. It is only then can they be really ready to become strong foundations of families, capable of preparing their children to take on responsibilities as able successors in leading the society and founding families when their turn comes.

As I have already spread out in the first part of this post, there are many factors why the rice prices are going up, way up high. Personally, I believe that there is a rice shortage, unlike the statements of our government officials disputing the rice shortage as a myth.
The Philippines has been scrambling to boost stocks and supply cheap rice to the poor as rice prices soared to near-record levels in recent months amid increased demand, crop failures, a shift to biofuels production or other land uses, and poor investment in the farm sector. The Philippines imports about 10 percent of its domestic rice requirement. The problem with our culture system…

Letting go of someone for everyone seems to be the hardest thing to do, especially if that person already made a mark in your life. Somebody special to you and was there all thru the years, months, or days in your life. We always remember the things that had happened, the experiences you’ve been thru, it could be that saddest or the happiest moments. You can always recall that there was this moment in your life that nothing else matters in this world and that within this world the only significant thing that exists is between you and the person you love. To lose someone special gives pain that you wont know when its end. And every time you hear a hymn of a love song, makes you remember and even cry.

I’m so not into high school drama. But of course, being a regular high school student, it makes me a part of it no matter how I try to hide from the soap opera. High school life is mostly referred to by some as “the best part of your life”.
Honestly, I can’t say that it is the case for me. Why? I’m not a very intelligent person as what my parents believed I am. Though I was quite fortunate because I belong to the NODE section in our school

Rice is the most staple food in this country, where in every corner of this archipelago, people are looking for rice. We never thought that there would be a rice crisis - or shortage of rice production, - but here we are now, at the center of the rice crisis. The government spends about $0.46 in every $100 of agriculture output, a level much lower than those of developing countries, which spends $0.53 in every $100, and much much lower in highly industrialized countries at $2.00 in every $100.
Now, where is the Philippines in this picture? Let’s not pin-point the Philippines as the main culprit. But yes! We do have contributed in this crisis - and we are in the forefront of the crisis. But there are many other reasons why we do have this crisis.

Here’s a free software for you guys (download link below) who would like help boost traffic to your blogs. It practically enables you to search a keyword and the blogs that are related to that keyword you typed in. You will be able to quickly find the blogs that are “up there” in the ranks and you can start putting comments to their blogs to increase your own blog’s exposure. As illustrated below -
1. type a keyword related to your blog. i.e. “pinoy”
2. type in your domain name (this is related to point #4)
3. PR stands for “page rank”
4. if you typed your domain name in point #2, it will show if that domain name has links with the top blogs. In this case www.i-filipino.com doesn’t have any links with the top blogs
5. you can see the highest ranking blog related to the keyword “pinoy” - in this case it is “sunstar.com.ph/specials/election” (the lower the number, the higher the ranking)
