Happy birthday to me! Well, actually, my birthday was yesterday, but I celebrated it tonight because it's Friday. Had a get-together here at home with my friends and classmates. Oh, 23. It's such an "ordinary" age, isn't it? But I'm feeling old. Hmmm. Yeah, it's definitely kicking in...

PhilNITS and more

Tuesday, October 03, 2006 Posted by Mary No comments
I was in Cebu over the weekend. I was there with some schoolmates and our teacher to take the PhilNITS certification examination on the Fundamentals of IT last Sunday. The PhilNITS exam isn't a licensure exam. It's just a certification, known before as the JITSE, or the Japan IT Standards Examination....

He'd be at the Computer Center almost every day (even during Saturdays)... walking around, supervising, making jokes with people. Last month, he suddenly had a heart attack. He was airlifted to Cebu and a bypass surgery...

I've been pretty busy recently, but we finally finished presenting 75% of our design for our OJT. It's a step in the right direction, but of course, it's still a long way to go. Things are really sinking in right now, though. I've finally realized that I'm almost down to my last semester in college....

Sometimes I think being a Scorpio is such a curse. True, we rule the house of sex, and while I dare say that our partners can be quite lucky because we're always lusty and passionate, we have so many bad sides as well. I'm a Scorpio, and I can be really, uh, prickly. I have to know what's going...

Portal in Siquijor

Last Saturday, the staff of Portal 2007, the Sillimanian Yearbook which I am the Features Editor of, had an outing to Salagdo-ong, in Maria, Siquijor. I've never been to Siquijor before, so I took advantage of the opportunity to go there. What do I think of Siquijor? Frankly, I didn't know what...
