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.

Summer getaways are almost over and two weeks from now, students like me will have to face another school year ahead of us. I know every student is still not prepared to go to school and we’re still enjoying the summer vacation. 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)

One of my observations when I started working as a pharmacist here in Canada is the fact that parents are very open about teenage sex. During my first few months in the pharmacy, I noticed that the Moms would personally come to pick-up their daughter’s contraceptive pills (birth control pills). The popular brandnames for contraceptives are Diane 35, Alesse, Tri-Cyclen, MinOvral, Triphasil, to name a few. Anyway, most of these pills may be used also for acne control. But I tell you, the Moms would pick up those contraceptive pills to make sure that their teenage girls don’t get pregnant. Let’s face it, a teenager will do what a teenager wants to do. I’ve been there.

It was December 1941. Eight-year old Romy was in the two-story house where he and his family lived in the US military compound in Fort McKinley (now known as the Fort Bonifacio Global City). He couldn’t go out and play with his four brothers as was natural for little boys. Outside, bombs and firearms were exploding. A few day ago, on December 8, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and ten hours after that, Clark Airfield, in Pampanga, Philippines. World War II had begun and it had come to the shores of the Philippines and the country was under attack by the invading Japanese troops.
Buenaventura, Romy’s father, gathered his wife and his five sons. He was already in his battle gear uniform. He told his family that they had to evacuate to his hometown in Lian, Batangas because Manila was under siege and declared an open city.
“But Papa,” Romy said, “how are we going back to Lian? There are no buses or cars to take us. And how about the baby?”
“Your uncle Tio Pito and your cousin Kuya Tino have come to fetch you,” answered Buenaventura. “I have managed to find a taxi to bring all of you. You will be safe in Lian.”

As we all know, Philippines has a very long way to go. It’s progress is very, very slow. But before we go on and blame the corrupt officials (take note: I’m not defending them), let’s see things in another perspective. And in this perspective, it’s us, the ordinary citizens, that are in it. I am talking about how we should view things around us. I am talking about ethnocentrism.
But before I give out the meaning (if you don’t know it), let me give you it’s counterpart. It’s eurocentrism. Eurocentrism, according to Wikipedia, is the practice of viewing the world from a European perspective, with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of European (and, more generally, of Western) culture, concerns and values at the expense of non- Europeans. If I were to give my own meaning, it would be, loving anything Western and putting away anything Asian. It’s evident in our country. It’s in the choices that we make and the way we do things.

This incident has made quite a fuss in the Pisay community because the batch also vouched for the “diligence” of the above mentioned graduate, which was honored because apparently, the person graduated and acquired a diploma. Ironically, the diploma itself states that it certifies that the person, whose name is indicated therein, has COMPLIED WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COURSE/INSTITUTION awarding the certificate. I don’t think a 5.0 in Math actually qualifies as compliance to all requirements.
I’d rather not indulge myself in ranting about how unfair it feels or appears to all other alumni of all branches of Pisay, needless to say, I’m quite disappointed that the respected authorities …. (continue reading from the original post … Click HERE…)
Should a student with a 5.0 in Math be awarded a Pisay diploma?
Apparently, someone is marching on Tuesday in spite of a 5.0 (failure) in a Math subject.
Here’s an excerpt from blog entry “Attention : Batch 2008! Ito na ba ang gusto niyong maging value ng pisay diploma?” by the Math teacher / PSHS alumna who started the online discussion:
Don’t you realize that you’re stripping the pisay diploma of it’s worth when you vouch for your batchmates who you know don’t really deserve the diploma?
Alam niyo yan!
Kahit gaano katamad ang estudyante sa pisay, kahit gano katamad KAYO sa pisay, hindi kayo nakakakuha ng grade na 5.0!
Mahirap, sa totoo lang, makakakuha ng 5.0 sa pisay,unless talagang WALA KANG GINAWA! (aka tinamad ka). Kaya wag niyong sabihin na may ginawa talaga ang mga classmate niyo kung di niyo naman talaga alam. Ang sama ng luob ko sa mga sumulat ng letters vouching for the “diligence” of some of your batchmates. Diligence?? What the …?!!!!
Please read the entire post in [this link].
To readers unfamiliar with the Pisay community: Yes, this is a big deal because Math is a major aspect of the school, the school is Philippine Science High School Main Campus, and the grade is a 5.0, not even a 4.0. Read its [Mission and Vision].

It would be imprudent to equate intelligence with broken English. Nowadays, people seem to think highly of themselves whenever they could speak straight English when in fact, these so-called PINOYS cannot even speak straight Tagalog and worse, they prefer to speak TAG-LISH instead. Most of the pa-sosyal people and kids do that most of the time and that’s more irritating. Have these people not been taught at school that you speak one language at a time if you want clarity and cohesion? If you want to speak in English, then speak in straight English and vice versa with Tagalog. You do not add and mix these two languages to make it seem like your cool and hip and smart. It makes you look cheap and maarte, actually. But of course, not all good English-speaking Pinoys are like that and it would be stupid of me to make such a generalization.
To be honest, to be able to speak in English is essential because as we seek to move towards globalization, this language will help us gain the upper hand in getting a job or a career basically. I think it would be safe to equate good education or sufficient education with good English skills instead. Because not all well-educated, good English speaking people are intelligent, right? Some receive good education because they can afford it. But intelligence is rarely developed as it is mostly based in your genes. So some who receive good education and speak perfect English may not necessarily have the brains to think beyond speaking perfect English. Some.
