ohmski goes back to school

before i have already realized that we don't have any professionals in the family. no one ever took a college course that will undergo board exams and professional licensing processes. i belong to a family of 4 children and 2 of us already graduated. my sister now works at a hotel company and i am working at a multimedia company. not very much fulfilled with my status but everything is under control. (i hope.)

out of the blue last sunday, my parents had something to pop out of their heads. suddenly they offered me to go back to college for another Bachelor's degree. this time, to become an engineer or an architect someday. i was just typing something for my dad's work and they want me to take up a professional and licensed course. they thought that after my younger siblings graduated, they will be enrolling me immediately back to college.

i've come to think about it since i've wanted to go back to school someday. maybe for a Master's degree or a vocation. i have agreed with them as long as they will be providing all expenses. as for me, back to the spoiled person and just opening up my hand for daily allowance and tuition fees. lol

engineering and architecture are both good courses but i'm confused of what to choose just to give in to my parents' request. i want to escape that Math theories and formulas etc and especially Physics that's why i went on another course before. i have no regrets of taking up Advertising and PR in fact i graduated with honors. the only problem is, i still have no practice of it since i graduated. :( i fear that what if i don't excel in the field that i would be taking up, would they get disappointed? maybe but i don't want it to happen.

i'm also concerned of what school to go to when they send me off again. i have no problems with my school before but this time, is it wrong to demand to them to send me to a private school? maybe in a more recognized university?

i have a few months left to think about this because my brothers are graduating next year.

AyosDito.ph speaks for itself

the online shopping community has been going around for years now and it provides us comfort to find items with just one click of the mouse. similar shopping sites mostly require sign-up and since it goes global, it might be hard to arrange for the delivery of the items you bought online. if you have something to sell, there's a lot of processes to finish posting your item.


but a new site has made all these problems easier. no sign up needed, you can post your ads easily, and best of all, it's free! www.AyosDito.ph may be the newest online marketplace in the Philippines where you could find the best deals for a wanted item. with customized selection of ads, you don't even have to worry about the delivery problem for you may find your personal gift just within your region! for example, i am looking at the CALABARZON area where i was living, i just have to find my region "CALABARZON" and i will be directed to the marketplace all from CALABARZON.

you can also be very specific with items you want to buy. clothing would be the best seller for both sexes and you can have the results easily. there could have been quite a number of results but with the search bar for your assistance, it wouldn't be a problem.

as i've said, posting ads isn't so much of a problem. if you have services or products which you want to sell, they have the proper Terms and Conditions. and since this is from the Philippines, the sellers and buyers you can encounter are all Filipinos. communication is no boundary here.

the Balangay sails June 24th!

the Philippines is so rich and it's got very interesting history. a part of which is the journey of the first inhabitants of the Philippines. one question might be how did they ever get to the archipelago? an answer is using the Balangay.


Kaya ng Pinoy, Inc. is motivated to recall how our ancestors traveled the seas by rebuilding the Balangay. thru the leadership of Art Valdez, the Balangay has been rebuilt and it is open for the public to see. as some people would thought that this is so ambitious and impossible, it has not stopped Mr. Valdez to rebuild it and now he's ready to sail the seas on June 24 2009.

as for me, i have already ridden it thanks to the invites of Kaya ng Pinoy, Inc. Mr. Art Valdez even relayed to us how our ancestors used natural phenomena as their compass and even traveling tools to get to a destination.

earth has even posted the course of the Balangay as it sets sail on June 24.
