Civil Service Passer

Several weeks ago, I was attending a ceremony because I passed the Civil Service Board Exam Professional. For me, it was just an ordinary day. I never special anything about it. In fact, I dont know what address did I used. Hahaha... I just received a message from my cousins telling me that we all passed to the so called licensure.

Nevertheless, I didnt know the significance of this licensure except of course when I had a talk with my friend. Like me, she is a also a Civil Service Professional Passer and their office would now become a department. Thus, there would be regularization of the employees. Since most of her colleagues are not passers even though they are working for a longer period of time than her, they could not be called regular employee. Regularization is very important because it would entitle you to more benefits such as higher wage and the so called security of tenure which are the main goals of all workers both in private and public offices.

Furthermore, here is the results of the last exam. Just choose and select in which region and what type of exam did you take. Maybe, you have your friends and relatives in it. Check this site: http://excell.csc.gov.ph/cscweb/exam_results.html

My cat

When I sign out in my yahoomail, the browser turned out into its homepage. I was really very shocked when I saw a video of a begging cat for his food. This cat reminds of my pet in our house. I used to hug him despite my parents protest and let him kiss my cheek with his cute nose. He is really very fat that children are afraid because his size looks like a dog or old people would like to buy him because he looks handsome. But when he is really starving, he would jump into our table even when we have visitors. He likes to drink milk and eat only fish and bread. Thus, when I am eating and drinking those foods, I am oblige to share those with him.

Furthermore, this is the video of cat begging for his food. Check out this link: http://purinaanimalallstars.yahoo.com/?v=8800385&l=100000085

In a relationship status

Every time that I will see my facebook account with "In a relationship" status, I dont know if I will be happy or sad. I keep on asking myself "Am I selfish?" "Will I have my own karma?". I have to admit that there are positive and negative effects in what I did.

Lets just begin in negative effects, some of the people I know are silently angry with me and they find ways on how to avoid me. Sometimes, they would snarled at me whenever they answer my questions. On the other hand, some people would be happy because their awaited dreams would now come true and I could now have a peace of mind because no one would ask personal questions or further research about me.

I have to admit that sometimes,I am hoping that I could break down barriers. The second guy would appear and we could have a chance to talk like friends. However, I know that this is only an illusion.

Well, I used to remember the words that I told my cousin several months ago "Sometimes , its not a question if you had a successful or bitter-end kind of relationship, what matters most is that your cousin learn things which would help her how to become a better person someday".

Alma Mater

Yesterday, I visited my alma mater which is the University of the Philippines Mindanao or commonly called UPMin to get my diploma and transcript of records. My cousins used to laugh at me every time they would hear that I didnt have those things. But never today, because i have now my diploma and I will receive my transcript of records after 10days.



Furthermore, when I visited my university, I noticed some changes, Roads were now cemented and new buildings have been constructed. I will just upload more pictures because I saw my friend that is why I forgot to get pictures on it. Neverthless, what I really like in my university is the serenity of the place which gives me happiness and contentment. A kind of feeling that I cannot get living in the city.

New P20 bill

Several months ago, when I was riding in a jeepney, a passenger paid his fare to the driver. The driver immediately did not accept the money because he thought it was fake. Soon, the passengers told the driver that was the image of the P20 bill of the Philippines.

Since it was my first time to see the new P20 bill, I asked the driver if I could change my old P20 bill to the new bill. Moreover, I got the new bill and wondered why government officials made a new bill. For me, it was just a waste of money and I had been looking if there was a face of government official because some people would create ways in order for them to be recognized since they are in the working in the government.



Furthermore, when looking at the new bill, I noticed some changes. At the front of the new P20bill is a younger version of the late President Manuel Quezon, Malacanang Palace and the Declaration of Filipino as National Language last 1935. It was like all the features of the old bill was put in one side of new P20bill. Furthermore, at the back side of the new P20 bill are the pictures of Banaue Rice Terraces, Palm Civet and the Philippines map.



When I began to think the features at the back side of the new bill, my perception changed. Maybe, this is a way or means to promote our tourism sector which can help in boosting our economy.

Earth Hour

Today, the world just celebrated the so called Earth hour. This is annual event in which its goal is to combat the climate change by saving electricity. In Davao, the light should be turn off at 8:30-9:30 am.
However, I was attending a ceremony that is why I didnt practice turning off the light. But in that ceremony, there was a reduce amount of electricity which was given by the Davao Light that is why it was hot in our room.


Well, I dont know the explanation why is it the logo showed a 60 number. Hahha.. But then, I got a picture from it in SM Davao. I was very happy because in that "statue' there were notes written by the children on how to save electricity. Well, I just pray that those words will be put into action.

Things

It has been a long time since I write an article on this blog. The topics and pictures are now ready but it seems that I dont have the strength to write words.

Lately, there have been changes in my life and I realize some things. Things that have been added and would help me to become mature. But whatever it is, I know that God is with me even though I am in the happiest and saddest time of my life.

Fit N Right

A year ago, I was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis or wound in the stomach. I was really ashamed of it because narrow-minded people would think that I didn't have money to buy my food. Well, personally I don't what now is the cause of it because I didn't skip any meals. One thing I know, i have an ulcer. Hahahah....

This kind of illness would prohibit me from eating or drinking foods that can contribute to weight loss. Every time my aunt would buy Fit N Right, I really wonder what was the taste of it.

To cure my ignorance, I bought Fit N Right two days ago. I was really proud because I drank all of it without stomach ache. But after three hours, I feel very hungry to the point that I would collapse. This phenomenon decided me to go to McDonalds since all the stores near at my boarding house were closed.

I was shocked because there were a lot of people in that fast food chain. Moreover, I saw some of my friends, schoolmates and former roommates. There I realized that Davao is just a small place.

ATM cards

ATM cards play a significant role in human life. Employers send their worker's salary in their ATM card or the so called Automated Telling Machine card. When I was studying in a university, my parents used to send my allowances in my ATM. It was more convenient because I was very sure that the money was not fake and I didn't want to handle large amount of money with my own hands or placed it in my pockets.

As of now, I have two ATM's---- the PNB or the Philippine National Bank and the Landbank. The latter is my original one and it is a government bank. We applied in that government bank because my uncle is a employee of that bank. I used to remember my uncle would me advices about some tips on getting money from the ATM machine safely.

Moreover, when I was surfing the internet, I just read an article which had the same advices just like my uncle. I wanted it to share to all people because this information is really a very big help. Check out this link:

Plight of a tutor

The situation that happened in the tutorial could not still get off my head. Contrary to popular belief, I was the one who told my mom to get a part time job because I want to have an experience in becoming a better person. I envy my classmates who had experienced in teaching students. However, when I told my classmates about this they would just keep silent. Also, they told me that they look down on their tutors. I did not expect that this were true.

Moreover, the management in the tutorial gave me two to three kids. These children are slow learners and indolent. The management is hoping that if a teacher who was a graduate of a national university in the Philippines would handle them, their grade would increase and they could graduate in elementary. As, what you can see, the pressure is with me. Nevertheless, I had to make the learning enjoyable as much as possible and I have to "spoon-feed" them. But to make matter worst, they did not tell me about their assignments and I have to bargain with them every time we have a lesson. If I would not do it with them, they would just play around.

Now, I decided to resign from that tutorial because I received too much insult from them. Yet the management was on their side. In just a matter of P50 per 1.5 hours I would receive a a hurtful insult. I did not think highly of myself but in a matter of P50 this would happen to me. Sometimes, I think and ask myself is this the plight of workers in the Philippines?

Stupid and ill mannered student

Today, is my one month anniversary as a subject tutorial. I am supposed to be happy but I have a bad news. I quarreled with one of my students. This student has been studying in one of the prestigious catholic university in Davao. As expected they have to be good mannered and religious. However, I was really very shocked because almost all of the students in that tutorial know all kinds of bad words. To make the matter worse, this black complexion student of mine is a slow learner.

During my first week, I just reprimand him. But as time goes by, he is getting worse. Since he is slow learner, I am oblige to give him basic problems and after that turning them into complex problems. When I did that thing for the first time, he gave me a f**k sign or the infamous PI in tagalog. I just got out at the room or I would not look at him for the rest of the lesson. Sometimes, he would even said in front of me "i**t teacher" or "your **ther is a s"n of a d**k". I started to think that when I would shout back at him, he would respect me because I am a strict and he would be afraid. Because of this, I decided to say all bad words that I know and telling him that he is the most stupid student in that tutorial. In short, I stoop down to his level and I also insulted him.

This student decided to change to another teacher. I dont know what is the reaction of the parents or the management but I am willing to fight for my own rights no matter what cost. I am not afraid of them because I know that I am right. In fact, I want to talk with the parents.

Unsual thing

The things that had happened yesterday night could not still get out of my head. It was like a wound that keep on inflicting as time goes by. I wanted to send a message on friendster if I am really the topic. This was very unusual because it was the first time that he opened what was really in his mind. Yet, I am afraid of the consequences because we are not the only people living or working in this planet. Sometimes, we have to think the welfare of the others.

Last paragraph

I am writing on how to describe myself and as a past time I was about to write an article about what I feel for these past days. Why I would want to sit in once corner while looking at the darkness. Well, this article would be another post because I have an important matter to discuss.

Nevertheless, I searched my university in the youtube if there were available post . I end up clicking with all the programs such as a lyric that has been played and performed in our university. Even if I was tired, I still read the words which was posted last October. I read this lyrics because it has been one of the most popular song in my university. But what caught my attention was the last paragraph. I really asked myself if I am the topic. Until, now I keep on remembering what had happened. I dont know if they would be happy or not but I did not feel guilty about it. For me, it was the opposite. Furthermore, I would not say something about it because it was already too late. As what they say, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Besides, what had happened would be cover up with the present relationship that the boy has. :-)
