Free IT school in Las Piñas

Published on July 27, 2008 in Anything. 1 Comment

Educating Las Piñeros is one of the main projects of the Aguilar family being in politics for several years in a row. Previously, the Mr. and Mrs. Aguilar, who both became Mayors of the city already, have reconstructed the old public schools and have created new schools for the people of Las Piñas City. And of all the schools in the city, it is the Las Piñas TESDA and Don FC Aguilar College whose been the highlight of the project. For what i know, the Las Piñas TESDA is a free learning institute with technical and vocational courses offered to Las Piñeros of all ages. While the Don FC Aguilar College offers free college scholarships to poor but exceptional graduates of the city’s public high school. Through these years, a lot of smart students and eligible residents of the city benefit from this project.

However, the Aguilars didn’t neglect the poor and average students of the city. “Those smart kids are already assured of a future. But those whose grades range fom the 70s and below are not. I want to make their dream of going to school a reality” Mayor Aguilar said in an article about the free IT school in Inquirer. …continue reading

UP 100 bills

Published on July 26, 2008 in Anything. 2 Comments

Looks like the 100 years celebration of the University of the Philippines is really a big one. I don’t bother much about it really since i’m not a UP graduate and i only shared a post about a free jeepney ride in UP Diliman by my company just for the sake of sharing it to UP students who might read about it. Days ago, i happen to get two P100 bills that has the logo of UP commemorating their 100th year this 2008. Guess i would be keeping these simply because it amazes me to actually have two of these special edition P100 bills unexpectedly :)

Sun Cellular postpaid vs prepaid

Published on July 5, 2008 in Anything. 6 Comments

Ever since Sun Cellular came into the market, i’ve been an avid user already though from the start i’ve been a prepaid user. Sun is very helpful and “sulit” that many users opt to have it especially couples and barkadas. The unlimited service for call and text is very affordable and useful and if you’re using the regular rate its just Php .50 per text sun-to-sun. Most Globe and Smart users do have an extra phone and that’s for their sun sims. As for me, I do have my sun sim as my backup/extra phone with my primary Globe sim. There’s only thing not so good about Sun which i got used to already is the signal/network coverage. Well, i guess they don’t have that much cell sites as Globe and Smart and the worse thing during evenings it really hard to make a sun-to-sun call. I hated Sun because of it coz its been like that ever since. But one thing i found out - if you’re on postpaid, its not that hard to make a sun-to-sun call anytime especially during evenings and the time limit is not limited to 15 minutes! honest! I’m on Sun postpaid already and i’ve proven this scenario! Plus its more “sulit” than the prepaid. (well i guess that’s the advantage of being a postpaid subscriber, i’ve proven this also with my Globe line).

So what do i like with my sun postpaid versus my old sun prepaid? Number 1 on my list would be the signal. I don’t have a problem making sun-to-sun calls anymore anytime of the day. Number 2 would be the rates. Postpaid users gets the 30days unlimited call and text rate at Php350 versus the available Php450 for prepaid users. Number 3 is the free text. Since i’m on plan 600, i use the 350 for my unlimited call and text and have the remaining 250 as a consumable amount plus i have 350 free text to other networks. (I also had one for my sister - the plan 350 which has 250 free text to other network and as for the 350 amount you can either use it for the 30 days unlimited call and text feature or just use it as a consumable amount) Cool isn’t it? But of course i still love my primary account - my Globe postpaid at plan 800 with Php 800 consumable amount plus 200 free text to other networks. Besides, the signal, rates, and services of Globe are really the best and far better than Smart and Sun. hehe :)

my career so far…

+ to stay or go away?
This is probably the biggest and hardest decision i had to make for myself. It was tough for me so my decision was largely influenced by my family. Its all about deciding if i’ll be leaving my current work and find a new company OR just stay where i currently belong to. I have listed all the positive and negative things for both and asked opinions of friends and family. I did have a lot of “buts” and “what ifs”. It was hard to decide and i wished i never had to but i must. In the end, i have chosen to stay.
