A Guide on How to Study

With all the improvements of technology, many of the students today have been exposed to countless choices of things from food to lifestyle. A type of gadget can have multiple brands to choose from. Anyone can choose their own hairstyle over the Internet. You can choose different entertainment channels. Everything today can give you myriad of choices which makes it impossible to choose correctly. Despite all these, some things never change. One of these is the way we SHOULD study.

This is the worst news that I've heard about crimes involving minors. An 11 year old girl (orphan) was raped at a vacant lot at Monteverde Street, Davao City. She was stabbed and left there to die. However, it was not yet her time. She struggled to cross the street despite her stab wounds. She reached the front of a bank where an employee of DTI was able to see her. The security guard of the bank helped her. I was told that her woulds were serious that her internals can be seen by your naked eye. She struggled to keep it intact. They said that her blood was nearly drained. Apparently, her genital was inserted with a cola bottle. The girl recounted that she should have died at the vacant lot, but her mother waked her up. Upon reaching the bank, she was also ready to die, but again, her mother waked her up. It wasn't her time to die. My question is, would it have been better if she died? Justice will not be served because of the existing law that exempts criminal liability to persons below 15 years old. The four suspects have been identified: Mike, 16yrs old, Jerry, 11yrs old, John, 12yrs old, and Dennis, 12yrs old. They are now in custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Three of them are below 15 years of age! How can justice be served? If that girl was your sister or your daughter, what would you have done? I really hope that our senators will do something about this. They have too much blood on their hands already, especially the proponent of this law!

Yesterday we attended the Student Researches presentation at the University of Mindanao main campus at Matina. UM really has such a large campus and I can say that it's also nature friendly. You'll be healthy if you study there--no need to be hard on yourself to exercise, the campus does the job for you. I just hope they don't build too many buildings there.

Four schools were able to send representatives: Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU), University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC),

It's quite interesting how we can get tons of information through the web. Much more with blogging. Well, paid blogging did not just give me additional income, it also informed me of knowledge that I would not have earned on my own. One example would be home based business. I have been thinking about this a lot. I think it has been years now and I still haven't thought of feasible home business ideas. I'm quite reluctant to visit those "secret to success" sites which often sell you books that don't even contain the least bit revelation to their riches. I've read Robert Kiyosaki's books and at first, I was really impressed. Rich Dad and Poor Dad had their different perceptions. Then I read Cash Flow Quadrant, Retire Young retire rich, and still did not quite get how to start the darn money-making facade. Well, at least I still got a few lessons learned. Still, I did not quite understand the "secret". Again, I got nothing to lose. Reading this things do help. I've yet to try another thing I saw on the Internet. It's called Plug-In Profit Site. Although I still haven't digested the marketing, I'm quite interested in this. Why is it called "Plug-In"? Is it like the paid link ads that you just "plug in" to your website? I'm up again to satisfying my curiosity. You should try this too--get your own Plug-In Profit Site and visit: http://www.HomeBusiness.us

I've learned another origami from the internet. It's a better looking rose than those that I already know.

I was really happy that SSS had their online inquiry where we can check our remittances via their website at http://www.sss.gov.ph. There were three problems however. One is that it takes months before the figures get updated. Second is that their website is too slow. The third problem is about security. You're only asked of your SSS number and your birth date and you can view contributions.

To keep myself from falling asleep, I watched Wall-E a while ago (well it's already 7:26 am here). The movie was nice. Imagine if you can plant a pizza tree lol. The early part made me feel nostalgic. I don't know about movies, but empty streets give me that feeling. It's not that I'm terrified by it, but it just feels familiar. I guess emptiness is just a part of me.

I kinda like to have my own wall-e robot. One who can survive on its own. It knows how to repair itself. It also knows how to charge itself through solar energy. It's a simple yet intelligent robot. But hell do I wish I know much about electronics and that money here is easy and prices were low. Well, if there's a will, there's a way right. I've downloaded an ebook about basics on electronics. I'll be studying it soon. 24 hours just seem short. Again, if there's a will there's a way.

After getting by going nuts over the Lenovo laptop cam, guess what? Another food trip! We went to Coco's grill. My goal was to eat the all-you-can-eat pizza. Bad news! No such menu! Grrr. Well, we ordered other great tasting menu. I ordered the menu that consists of a bread with soup inside (with a bunch of seafood). As usual, I forgot the name of the food. Damn I'm such an idiot. Next time, I'll be sure to take note of the menu. My colleagues ordered what looked like calamares. I was really fooled by it. I really thought that it was calamares and even commented on how to cook the squid to make it soft to eat. Those were onion rings! waaa. Again, another idiotic moment lol. At least I'm sure of one thing, the baby back ribs was delicious! And I'm sure that it was the right name of the menu, and I'm sure of the ingredients. Here are some pictures (not good quality due to the hardware).

Just arrived from going out with my college classmates. We had dinner at Siggi's Grill. It's located at 37A Mabini St. (Near Mabini-Torres junction, near Badminton World, near Tumble Tots. I think this is enough for you not to get lost). Thanks to blogie for blogging about this place. I discovered that it was owned by my classmate in MBA, Mr. Bervin. It was nice having been updated. I had a few minutes chat with Bervin and thanks to him, my wait was diminished (my college buddies had me waiting there for one and a half hour because they were lost waaa).

Damn I forgot what I ordered. I think it was called "Catch in the sea" which consists of garlic rice and a fish with really white and soft flesh soaked in margarine with a sprinkle of garlic (I think I'm being stupid with my descriptions. I don't know the name of the fish).

After dinner, we went to Kopi Roti for coffee and chat. There was this weird menu. Almost raw egg with soy sauce and something else. I like the kopi bun, but the egg was weird.

Anyway, here are some pictures:

It was a great day. I had my activities planned out well. In the morning, I woke up not too early as there was nothing much to do. As usual, I turned the computer on and checked my email. Did a little coding and designing for this brochure that the other guy I asked to do so might not do. Got lazy doing it so I decided to post it here to gather some suggestions by which only one made a comment. Ate my lunch, took a bath, and took off for my masters class. I arrived at school on time 1:00 pm. Well at least I thought I was on time. On time for what? No one was there to have a class! Did I miss something? From what I remembered, our professor last Saturday said that we're going to have our exams "next Saturday". Well that day was "next Saturday". Damn I was so stupid. I knew that we're having classes every first and third Saturday and I took his word literally--"next Saturday". That day was the fourth Saturday. The "next Saturday" that he meant was the first Saturday next month! Well, remind me to just listen carefully. Listen and not just hear.

Suggestions... I need suggestions... Got tired designing... :(

Just a thought, what would it make you if you were always copying your assignments from others while you were a student? Copy and paste an essay online. Buying essay from your classmates, or avail the paper writing services near Bolton street. Well, I personally think that it is still better to do things by yourself. It's alright to ask for help from others but not letting them do our work. We'll end up becoming students all our lives. The web has many resources that we can tap into. Just take advantage of it. You can avail of many custom essay writing websites for assistance (not for full creation of your project or thesis!).

One of my blogs now has a money bag beside it! Weeeee! Check it out.
