xmas vacation

Christmas vacation is one of the wonderful vacations that students have especially those students who want to come in their province for the said Christmas day and New Year’s Day. They expect that the vacation will be wonderful and especially to forget about the problems especially about schooling but many of us including me. And think only to bond with the family members that only went home for Christmas but sadly it was not the Christmas vacation I want.

proposal nga system

Think about your approved/proposed systems, is it worth the three or more years of learnings you get from the university? Describe how you arrived with this proposal.

Our proposed system is worth the three or more years of learning that I get in the university, since creating system is not easy and even documenting since many problems arrive during the documentation stage and especially creating the system. And luckily we have undergo some of lesson on how to prevent the problems occur in creating a system. By these I can say that our system proposed system is worth.

Actually our approved proposed system was our second proposal since the first proposal was rejected for some reason. As a group we decided to contact the relative George and he wants us to create a system. And we come up to propose about the payroll system of the FIDA but unfortunately our instructor talks about a payroll system as a simple system. Maybe for him it was simple maybe because he have done many system before and maybe the reason why he say that it is simple is maybe he wants us to create something extra-ordinary that can be presented and can give a reward to us and to the USEP. And maybe by this many companies will hire the USEP student to work in their company.

intrams... kanus-a?????

Intams , intramurals???????? Nag-unza ko ato???????? Hahaiz… well we have a class that day I want to play the softball and basketball in women’s division and represent our college the Institute of Computing because every intramurals I have participated in the said event. But luckily I didn’t participate because of……. intramurals is one of my favorite events in school because I can make work my muscles, tendons and even loss weight and make my mind forget about schooling and think about playing.

I think therefore I am

A saying was introduced to us by our professor during our class in the Nodal center last December 6, 2008. It was around 9 am when our professor writes a quote in the white board that stated “I think, Therefore I exist” by Rene Descartes. Honestly I don’t know what the quotes talk about. I doubt what would be my answer. Since my classmates tell that the quote was about I exist because I think. But as the days goes by, I don’t really know what the real meaning of that quote was. So I sat down on the chair and google the phrase “ I think, Therefore I exist.” – Rene Descartes. It is all about thoughts and doubts. A certain writer tells and formulated that Existence = doubt + thought. But I don’t really know how they come up with that idea if we derived it to find thought = existence – doubt? But I don’t really get the idea. So as I reflected on the sermon of our professor in my own idea that for me, I think therefore I exist, means that each one of us should think not only in our selves but also for others and for the good of everybody. Existence not only in physical aspect but also mentally aspects. That Saturday was another day that will mark my calendar because another call or sermon that was again delivered to us. But luckily our professor did not get mad to us. But as summary “God think, Therefore I/we exist”. Have a nice and wonderful day. Merry Christmas in advance..

late comerzzzzzzz

I was late in our subject Future Technology last Saturday November 29, 2008 and our professor said “Diba nagsabot na tan a la nay malate… riza”.. I only reacted with a smile… hehehe (naulaw jud ko…). I felt guilty I thought I was the only one late but thank God I’m not.. heheheh. Though I’m late but there is only one quote that always reminds me that “its better to be late than to be absent” hehehe but as a student I must come to school early or on time. Actually it only takes 15 minutes in order for me to arrived in school. But I don’t know that usually around 8 – 9 in the morning that’s the time were many people go to their work. And it is traffic.. since I’m not used to go to school in the morning it is usually at noon. Hahaiz… (late na gain sige pako explain… heheheh).
All group was finished the report in that day. Its hard for me just to seat and listen to the reporters. In the morning unit 3 was able to present their assigned topic almost 3 hours. Imagine 3 hours of sitting and listening. I find my self weak that time. no other work just sitting and listening. Hahaiz… in the afternoon time for unit 4 and unit 5 for their presentation.. now another 4 hours of sitting and listening. Iam able to report my topic which was the future of education.. but I was not able to deliver it well since I am hungry, tired and specially sleepy. But then the report must go on. Imagine it is about 4 hours without a break. If you were in that situation maybe you will collapse.(over… hehehe). It is about 5 pm when I sign to April that it is already time. because I want to go home, I have felt at that time headache and my eyes is tired and even my mind.
There’s one question that our professor asks to us.. it was “ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE FUTURE?” my answer is NO….. future will come no matter what we do. It is a part of our life. Maybe many things will happened that time. and in that time I’ll make sure that those things whether BAD or GOOD will make me a productive and a better person…….

career????

Think about yourself worthy to be called as IT professional, how do you see yourself 10 years from now, what are your strategies to get there?

Every one of us thinks what would be our career after graduating college. My reason why I study in college is only to have a college diploma to make my parents proud of me, an educational attainment for my future work in order to have greater chances of winning a certain work. I observed nowadays many of college graduates are not into practice their courses. Many IT graduates often work in the call centers but that’s not their course all about. Maybe it is still dealing with IT, because it is working with information, but what they are thinking earning money. Most of people don’t have works in their field, maybe they don’t suit with the career they have, maybe it’s hard to find job or the career they have is not that in demand. But IT, I think the course I have chosen will give me a lot of opportunities to get a better job, maybe this one will make me rich someday. But it takes time, it needs strategies, it needs knowledge. Now I realize, being a successful one in the future cannot be predict or be seen while your still studying. Lot of people does well in their school life, but when they have graduated they don’t have strategies to get a nice job. Like our neighbor who was a Mechanical Engineer and only turn out as a charcoal maker, he did not used his education as his career in life maybe that is what he wants to happen in his life. While there are people that is not that good during their college life but got a very nice job when they have graduated, and I hope I am one of them. So I can say it just depend with your strategies in life, on how you handle things to make a good reflection to you. There are also many accounting graduates often work as cashier in malls and establishments. I don’t know what the reason behind those wrong career choices. But one thing for sure others think that maybe those are their stepping stone to achieve their goals in life. I think education is the basis on how people treat you in the community. People will respect you if you have achieved college and have graduated. During my elementary I have dream to become an engineer because I think people will adore me and be proud since I have reach the profession as an engineer. During my high school years I have dream to become a policewoman why? Because one of my uncle is a policeman, I think police profession will make me a strong woman and being respected by others as I wanted to be respected. This is one of the major careers that come up in my mind, when I am about to graduate high school. But unfortunately I don’t enroll in the courses that I have dream since my elementary and high school days.

It was April of the year 2005 when I take my entrance examination in USEP Mintal because USEP Obrero entrance examination was closed that time. The thing that comes in my mind that time is when I did not pass the exam I will no longer studying college. But luckily I have passed the examination the first course I write in the paper is ECE and second choice it the IT. But I have decided to take IT as my course because there is no summer class like in engineering. I have my summer job in order to gain money and that money will be paid in my fees in school. It was the first semester of my year in college when people ask me what is my course I said that I am an Information Technology student. They always say “Good Luck. Mo shift japun ka.” And I answer the with “sige lang ilhan bitaw na kung mo shift. heheheh”. That time I begun to think that I should go with my course or shift? That one question I ask in myself. Many of my classmates have shift into other course. But I have decided that since I choose this career I must graduate with this profession. And I have confidence that I can get a nice job after college, because as I can see almost all of the companies even plants are using advance technology, even the control system of plants are now being controlled by computers so I think its not hard for me to find a better job. And what I have in mind if luckily ill graduate soon ill apply work even it don’t have that big salary, all I want is just I can practice my skills and be ready for the big events that may come to my life. There are many opportunities if you only have the strategies. Strategy is the best key to have a good and profitable job. Strategy, it includes your moral manners, they say, a brain with a heart do nice things. I am not too worried about my grades because I think I can be better in applications than theory. Like what others says, you will learn many things in your work that haven’t teach in college.

I think I can call myself as an IT professional if I already achieve my goals, my aims before choosing this profession. I can call myself as and IT professional if I’m earning money with my career as an Information Technology Analyst, as a Computer Programmer, as a Software Engineer, as a Systems Administrator, as a Web Designer, as a Web Developer, as a Webmaster, as a Maintenance Technician, as a Network Administrator, as a Database Administrator. If I can do works what a professional can do. I can do my works without any help from others like creating unique programs, creating a new programming language. And even say if those other professional that they clap their hand because of the work well done. But as for now it’s hard for me to do all those things since I am still a student. A student needs help from others in order to make my assignments and projects. A student needs advice from superiors like instructors and even in my parents and family. A student needs financially help from my parents too. Without them I cannot even go to school since they gave me money everyday in order to reach the school. But I am not just a student but a student with a course of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology student doing al my best to finish my course with all the knowledge, with all the leanings and with nice grades, to become a professional IT someday. And I think becoming a professional one takes a lot of challenges, in other courses they take examinations and have to pass a very broad thesis book related to their field. Maybe I can face all that challenges soon if I already have the guts. Also, I can call myself as a professional one if I can already share my learning and knowledge about my course, if I am able to teach other people base on my career, or just simply to say to be an instructor someday, like my instructors, I can call them as a professional one, or they are really professionals, that’s why they are called professors. And who knows? I become one of them someday, but still needs lot of strategies.


Maybe I can be a professional IT 5 or 10 years from now, 10 years from now is a very long term. Lot of things may happen, maybe I have lot of children at that time, but lets talk that as if I am already a professional information technologist at that time, with a happy family, lot of money or just say a millionaire because of my career. Maybe a famous programmer, where I am just sitting in front of my personal computer, no, not a personal computer anymore but a laptop. I’m sure I have a lot of laptops a that time, which I don’t even have one right now, just sitting, waiting for the money as a payment for my work. Maybe I become an analyst, but I prefer myself to work in other countries cause they are more advance in terms of technology. I want to learn more and lot of things related with my profession which I can’t get in staying in our country. As I have said, I also see myself as an IT instructor someday, a terror one, maybe I have a straight hair if that time comes. And ill teach my students very well like what our instructor did to us.But of course before I can take my big step in that wonderful future. I must begin it with a small step this small step makes the big step achievable. I should have my own and personal strategies in order to achieve my goals in life. It started when I think what course and career I should take. As for know my simple strategy are studying , eating nutritious foods, surfing the net and gathered information that are related to my studies, sleeping well and of course practicing my profession. Maybe after graduating college I will find a job and that job will be my stepping stone to achieve what I want to be. Maybe when I graduate, that’s the time where I should make a very wise strategy. I think my first step is finding a wonderful and course related job. I am applying as many companies as I can, of course related to my career. My aim with that is to train myself and to be exposed to the current technology.

So I can say, as a summary to my long story, in order for you to get that word professional stick with your name, you must face all the challenges, the you must face time. And of course the key word, “strategy” you must learn these word, or I must learn more with these word. I must practice myself, practice my skills, all skills, specially English speaking and writing skill, in this profession I should be literate enough to face those they called big boss, because I can’t use my dialect, my bisayan dialect in communicating with the persons within my field. It takes time to be a successful, professional IT so I’ll use that time wisely and rightly.
