The KOR - PHIL IT Training Center

The institution shown in the photograph is where I am currently taking my English Proficiency Course.

My training will conclude on the 15 of July 2009. After which if I pass I'll be receiving a certificate from the Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

The course I'm taking runs for a total of 100 hours and there are two schedules: 8 AM to 12 PM and 1 PM to 5 PM. I belong to the afternoon class which I find convenient since I don't have to wake up early.

The center which is located in Guiguinto, Bulacan is actually under TESDA. Aside from English Proficiency Course it also offers: Network Management, Call Center Training, Korean Language and many more.

TESDA provides a scholarship and a transportation allowance for the duration of the training, to avail of this all that one needs to do is to pass the pre-qualifying examination.

Learning a new skill or refreshing one's knowledge is a very productive way to spend idle time, so to those who have are unemployed like yours truly, this is a good way to exert your energy on.

Wapakman

This is the teaser for Manny Pacquiao's latest movie entitled WAPAKMAN. According what I've read this is a scifi - comedy, duh! If the title doesn't make you laugh then you must be vey stoned.

Anyway, I don't expect much acting prowess from Manny, after all he's a boxer. I just hope that he stays that way, and same goes for his mom. I mean there are already too many comedians and comediennes.

I Miss The Closer!

This is the new group photo of the cast of The Closer season 5, starring my favorite heroine of all time Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson a.k.a Kyra Sedgwick.

I was able to watch the entire season 4 when I was in Singapore. Unfortunately the t.v. station which airs this program here in the Philippines is out dated.

Last time I checked the station RPN 9 will air season 3 but not until the end of this month, which is of course very disappointing. I can't wait to buy a dvd so I could buy a copy and watch it to my heart's content.

Being unable to watch my favorite US shows is one of the things that I regretfully have to suffer here in the Philippines. But anyway at least I am with my family, and who knows perhaps next year I might return to the Lion City with my mom and my sister Andrelyn. Things will definitely be happier then.

Rightnow, all I can do is wait and like what Brenda would often say: "thank y'all very much!"

Beauty and Brains?

Good fortune seemed to have poured continuously for Marianne Rivera. From being an unheard of starlet she rose to stardom, after clinching the role of "Marimar" and since then projects from left and right started coming her way, as a bonus she even managed to bag her leading man Ding - Dong Dantes who was formerly engaged to Zsa Zsa Padilla' s daughter Karyll.

Her network GMA 7 announced just recently that she will also be portraying the all time Filipina Superhero "Darna" and of course none must forget that she was also chosen as the most beautiful star by YES magazine.

My trainer agrees that indeed Ms. Rivera has a pretty face, that's all. Intelligence would be another issue as she states: "siya yung tipong maganda pero huwag mo na lang pagsalitain.

What Goes Around Comes Around

The controversy brought by Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr. and Katrina Halili has been raging for quite sometime now. I have seen the sex videos and I have watched both of them on the television from the get go, each one airing his & her side of the story.

If someone were to ask me why I'm only writing about their story now, well, its quite simple. I never really cared much about it in the first place. What happened to Ms. Halili and Dr. Kho is indeed something to talk about but it is not that shocking. Its not even original.

A lot of people, mostly women have suffered the same way that Ms. Halili does. But their stories never made it to the front page and the NBI or the Senate never bothered about what happened to them. That's why try as I might I couldn't possibly find the slightest speck of interest in my heart to write about these two,until now.

This afternoon a friend of mine brought up the subject and for some reasons or another she is still fuming mad about what Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr. did to Katrina Halili. I have to agree with her that its of course wrong to video tape someone especially if the person is on a very compromising situation.

To most Dr. Kho is a monster, but just to be fair Ms. Halili isn't entirely blameless. She maybe a victim but this wouldn't had happened to her in the first place, if only she had the common sense, not to get involved with her friend's (Dr. Vicky Bello) boyfriend.

Like Justin Timberlake's song: "what goes around, comes around!" There is such a thing as karma after all.

R.I.P

I have not written anything in my blog for quite a while since my return in the Philippines, as most of my time have been spent with my family.

Yesterday I have decided to start writing again but I didn't have any particular topic in mind that I would like to write about. Luckily this morning when I turned on the television, I watched a news program announcing the death of Michael Jackson a.k.a the King of Pop.

Well its quite sad that he had to die so that I could find something to write about but nonetheless, his demise will at least mean something to me in the years to come. I may never have enjoyed his music but his death certainly inspired me to write again.

Dear old Michael wherever you're going it is my solemn wish that you find peace. Good bye!

I Hate You Then I Love You

I hate you then I love you! This is exactly how I feel about you right now. You drive me crazy sometimes, but in the end its alright!

I love you very much, my strength, my heart, my song, the only one who could truly move me to love. I'll see you soon.
