Towards the Horizon Further

It seems there’s nothing wrong with how I did the previous semester. I’m now expecting at least decent grades to keep my status in the program safe. No worries unlike the previous semester in short.
Having IS295a as my only major subject this coming semester, I have to start thinking about the final project required of [...]

Footnotes to an Aftermath

So this is the silver lining for me this year.
I just finished the semester at school yesterday after passing my answer sheets for the last exam yesterday. Far more than ending just another episode in the pursuit of that elusive degree on postgraduate studies, I could now sleep for 8 hours like an ordinary person. [...]

School Time

Despite the fact that I have tons of stuff to do at work and school during the weekends, I knew I had to place this somewhere. What can I do? Some things are just too good to leave forgotten among the wilderness of cyberspace. I guess the fact that I’ve decided to go for a [...]

Time to Unlearn

I don’t recall now but I remember someone pointing out that a lot of the things learned in life later are just really about unlearning things taught to one earlier. While the vein of truth was evident there, it was just earlier when my wife and I were taking a look at the contents of [...]

It’s Very Elementary…

For the nth time I’ve never been very much fond of forwarded stuff. I have to admit though that there are worthwhile ones that I come across with every now and then. I find the following for instance an excellent case in point even though I’ve heard it in the news recently.
I’m 100% sure [...]

Blog of the Day: John T. Reed

Technically not a blog but a sensible, honest and logical writer’s official site.
I’ve been reading content from John Reed’s official site ever since the time I searched for reviews of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He puts on more than enough, (the stuff there’s too much of an overkill against the book’s author,) to dislodge a [...]

Admit One

A couple of IT bits for the non-techie from the PDI website:
Next Stop: College!
The latest addition to one’s online searching suite is Schoogle. This one’s about schools and aims to help graduating high school students in terms of college admissions and scholarships. It’s a nationwide project hence the .PH extension.
Anyway nice intentions there that’s why [...]

More Tech Trends

All PDI InfoTech articles for the week under way:
Low-Cost Laptops for Big Returns in Education
I first wrote about XO in this blog entry after having heard about it early this year. Apparently the laptop bannered as a serious economical alternative for students especially for those in third world countries will hit the U.S. and Canadian [...]

Cite ‘Em

One thing hard with citing sources for papers especially for students is that there are many things to consider: citation style, type of resource, author/s, volumes, editions, publication dates, etc.
While there are lots of material readily available for citation styles through the internet, it still takes time to get used to the said styles especially [...]

A Little Bit of the News

Virginia Tech Four Months After
In April 16 this year, Virginia Tech got the world’s attention not as a prominent institution of the US academe but because of the rampage involving Korean student, Sueng-Hui Choi. The said student killed 30 people in all including himself so after the incident, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine appointed 8 members [...]
