Maraming Salamat! | Thank You! | Dhanyavaad!

I would like to thank God and everybody and everything that he used as an instrument to make this year a very pleasurable and fruitful one.
I can't ask for more.
This should be the most memorable year of my life:

I survived the dreaded Final Exams.
I passed the Mock Board.
I graduated from university. (My mentors were always there to give encouragement)
I recieved an accolade.
I spent a few months to review for the NLE and everything went well.
I passed the licensure examination with a good rating.
I got my first job: I earned my first salary.
I was able to meet lots of people from all around the world, share my knowledge and experiences with them and learn from their culture.
My beloved friends are always there to give specks of inspiration.
I have a beautiful and understanding girlfriend.
I have ever-supportive family and relatives.
(not the last and certainly not the least) I have Him in my life.
To Him be the Glory!

"Thank you" is, indeed, not enough for all of these.


The countdown for the next year has started.
We are all uncertain what will happen to us this 2012.

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Is it the end of the story or a new beginning?

Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)
Is it a new morning or night about to fall?

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)

Aane wala waqt dega panahein
Will time that comes gives us space to enjoy?

Ya phir se milenge do raahe
Or shall we be getting dilemmas (tensions, troubles)?

Khabar kya, kya pataa
Who knows....?

Let's just hope and pray for the best. 
Let's do our best to make our lives better.

Whatever happens, please join me in this journey towards a new chapter in my / our lives.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
LET'S ROCK 2012!
(Anyways, I don't believe the next year will mark the conclusion of the world. ^^,)


***Thanks to the Hindi movie, Udaan or "Flight" (2010) for stimulating me to make this blog post. I personally recommend this highly appealing movie.

Undaan is a 2010 Hindi film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane which features 17-year-old Rohan (Rajat Barmecha) as he is expelled from the reputed Bishop Cotton School in Shimla.

Congratulations Philippines, Asia! RE: The Provisional New 7 Wonders of Nature

I am happy to see that our very own Puerto Princesa Underground River ended up in the Top 7. It's also interesting that majority of the New 7 Wonders (4 out of 7) came from Asia. 

1. AMAZON (South America) 
2. HALONG BAY (Vietnam, Asia) 
3. IGUAZU FALLS (South America) 
4. JEJU ISLAND (South Korea, Asia) 
5. KOMODO (Indonesia, Asia) 
6. PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER (Philippines, Asia) 
7. TABLE MOUNTAIN (Africa) 

Isang malaking karangalan ito para sa Pilipinas at magiging malaking hakbang din ito upang lalo pang mapaunlad ang turismo dito sa ating bansa.


'Pinoy at 'Pinas : ASTIG!

NOTE: The provisional New7Wonders of Nature are based on the first count of vote results on 11/11/11. 
It is possible that there will be changes between the above provisional winners and the eventual finally confirmed winners. 
The provisional New7Wonders of Nature are listed in alphabetical order, not in any position or ranking. 
The voting calculation is now being checked, validated and independently verified, and the confirmed winners will be announced starting early 2012 during the Official Inauguration ceremonies.

10th Q&A Monday

It's already the 10th Edition of Q&A Monday!
Thanks for continuously asking great questions and I hope my humor and practical answers will satisfy them.


What's your favorite app on your mobile phone?
asked by Formspring
My favorite app in my phone is the colorful and sweet Fruit Slice. I used to have Angry Birds in my phone, and it should have been my favorite now, but I deleted it because it takes a huge portion of my memory.
Hope I'll find time to download Angry Birds and play it again. Both of these games are highly interactive and very addictive.


party? or bed time?
asked by 3OH3
A very easy question.I would prefer party! haha.. But this is highly relative to my mood. If I'm not in the mood like when I am depressed or just simply tired, then, certainly, I would just stay at home, take a rest and sleep all night.
If it happens that I am really in the right mood and I am happy, Partying is the best! Let's go party people! :D


what was your dream job when you were a kid?
asked by AskCamryn
When I was a kid, I dreamed of being an astronaut. When I was in elementary, I wanted to be a doctor and when I entered college, I took up and finished Nursing.
That's a real dream-come-true story huh? :D 
And I can tell myself that dreams really do come true! hahaha.. :D


What is the main feature of a website that you like the best?
asked by houstonassassin 
The best feature that a website can offer is if it provides ways on how the audience, readers or visitors could interact and comment on its contents. Second to this is the degree of innovation or uniqueness of the website.
All of our voices should be heard. This could make or break a website depending on how comments are moderated and how will the comments be accepted by the Web ADministrator..


No school wooo hooo! what do you do to celebrate Labor Day?!?!?!
asked by FredFigglehorn
I am certainly not celebrating the Labor Day. Here in the Philippines, many workers are conducting rally and protests in the streets to call for increase in the minimum wage at this day.
But, as for me, I'll just stay at home and take a good rest. It's a holiday after all.  ;)


How do you say squirrel in other languages????
asked by FredFigglehorn
LOL! very funny question! I can't think of a direct translation of squirrel in our very own Filipino Language but we might as well directly borrow it and change its spelling to: SKWIREL.
Is it that different? NO! haha.. :D


How are you right now?
asked by tamaguilar
I am perfectly fine, a little bit sleepy now, but I can take it. I mean, your questions are all great and I am having a good time answering these questions.
Hope you'll continue asking more thought-provoking questions! And I also pray that you may always be blessed by God with good health and happy life. :)


If you could go on a road trip with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and where would you go?
asked by lhives
Of course, If I could go on a road trip, I will go with my girlfriend. And, if it is possible, I may also think of bringing with me my family and some of my jolly friends.
In that way, this road trip will be 100% fun and enjoyable! I would want to go to Pagudpud or any beach with white sand will do like in Bolinao or Zambales.


do you believe in miracles?in wat way?
asked by kathyish
I certainly believe in miracles. Sometimes, we really don't understand things that are happening in our surroundings and even the experiences that we have in life with our own thinking and these things may be miracles and there's simply no reason behind them. They're purely magnificently magical and mystical and what we should do is just to admire them.


Ask me anything :DD
asked by anonymous
haha.. This is a very hard question to answer! haha..
Hmm.. My questions would be, "What is your name?" and "What is the real question that you want to ask?"
I think this is just an alibi question.. haha.. :D


You think you have more interesting question?
Ask them now and I may answer it in the 11th Edition of Q&A Monday!

Bakit CBRC Kayo DAPAT Magreview?

SA CBRC NA KAYO MAGREVIEW!


ITO ANG TOTOO: The Best & the Brightest Review with CBRC, A Program like no other!

    •Test-based approach LECTURING ALL concepts of the BSN curriculum

- Walang pinapalusot na topic kaya pakiramdam mo, alam mo lahat! Sabi nga ni Sir Carl, Let your Neurons do their job dahil sa mismong mga Neurons "isusulat" ni Sir Carl ang mga concept sa bawat lecture nya.

    •Test-taking strategies using the LATEST and UPDATED materials parallel to NLE

- Hinding - Hindi patatalo ang CBRC sa mga latest update about the NLE Exam Structure.

Sa CBRC ko natutunan ang totoong "Testmanship"!

    •Thousands of practice tests designed to TRAIN critical  thinking & to EVALUATE learning

- Araw-araw merong assignment para masigurado na masusulit mo ang buong Review Season.Sa experience ko, hindi ko na kinailangang magbasa ng makakapal na libro para sa review. Ang ginagawa ko nalang, I make sure na masasagutan ko lahat ng mga Assignments namin at kung may oras pa at hindi pa ako inaantok, magbabasa ng konti tungkol sa topic para sa susunod na araw.

THIS IS THE BEST PART FOR ME: Technology-Driven Quality Review

    • Optical Mark Reader, a technology similar to PRC, for item analysis of test performance 

- Malaking tulong para sa akin na alam ko ang standing ko sa different subject throughout the whole review season para alam ko kung saan ako malakas at mahina. Good thing CBRC uses OMR! Kapareho ng ginagamit ng PRC sa pagchecheck ng actual Board Exam (NLE) kaya talagang mararamdaman mo after each Eval Exam ang pakiramdam ng nagboboard-exam para hindi ka na kabahan sa actual test.

    • On-line Diagnostic test through www.carlbalita.com 

- Imbes na mag-Facebook ang mga reviewee, tinapatan ito ng CBRC ng ONLINE REVIEW! Masaya kasi alam mong hindi nasasayang ang oras mo while surfing the net.

    • Individualized On-line performance evaluation 

- At hindi lang yan, ang mga Facilitators pa para sa Performance Eval ng bawat review ay ang mga CBRC Topnotchers! Individualized talaga!

    • Complete library collection for faculty and reaserchers 

- Hindi rin patatalo ang research team ng CBRC. From prestigious schools ata ang mga bumubuo ng CBRC Research Team, isama mo pa ang mga Topnotchers!

    • Weekly SMS review upload 

- Magtetext ka nalang, nakakapag-review ka pa rin! Ang mga latest updates ay isesend mismo sa Cellphone mo, kahit anong network mo pa. At ang pinakamaganda dyan, walang iba kundi sa ULTIMATE REVIEWER, kay Sir Carl galing ang mga message na matatanggap ninyo.

Other features that matter to YOU!

    • Small class size for daily classes, limited seats without sitting arrangement

- Tama! Alam ng CBRC ang pakiramdam ng mga reviewee na nadadaya dahil sa pagrereserve ng kapwa nila reviewee. Kaya strictly na ipinapatupad ng "NO SEAT RESERVATION" Policy ng CBRC. Tamang-tama lang ang Review Class Size para maintindihan at marinig ng lahat ang dinidiscuss ng mga walang kasing-galing na mga Reviewers ng CBRC!

    • All materials, inclusive of fees 

- Everything is spoonfed nga daw, kasi lahat ng kelangan mo, ibibigay na nila. Ang kelangan mo nalang ay ang sarili mo -- focus at determination hindi lang para makapasa kundi para maging isang ganap ng CBRC TOPNOTCHER!

    • No Hidden cost 

- Kahit may mga kumakalat na balitang hiwalay ang bayad sa Final Coaching sa CBRC, Hindi ito totoo. Kung ano lang ang sinabing babayaran sa simula, yun lang ang kelangan mong bayaran!

    • Free copy of the 2nd Edition of the bestselling reviewer “Ultimate Learning Guide to Nursing Review” 

- Eto ang pinakamagandang NLE Review Book! Ang ULG (Ultimate Learning Guide) para sa concepts at UTG (Ultimate Testing Guide) naman para sa Testmanship!

    • Fees inclusive of the longest and most comprehensive Ultimate Final Coaching 

- Tama, pinakamahabang review season at walang "unreasonable" holidays! Tama nga ang sabi nila, sa una, hahanapin mo yung mga "Araw na naka-highlight," o mga OFF, pero habang palapit na ng palapit ang NLE, halos ayaw mo na ng OFF! :D

    • Whole day 8:00am to 5:00pm classes 

- Mapapagod ka, oo, pero I tell you, it's worth it, hindi ko makakalimutan ang sabi ni Doc James, "What is 8 hrs for a lifetime?" Hindi ko pinanghihinayangan ang bawat oras ko sa pagrereview sa CBRC.

    • Scholarship or discount to honor  and deserving graduates 

- Salamat sa CBRC kasi naging Scholar nila ako. Masarap maging scholar ng CBRC dahil nakahanap din ako ng mga bago kong kaibigan sa iba pang mga Scholars. Nandun na rin ang Team Work, Responsibility at Discipline na dinedevelop din sa CBRC.

    • Holistic program that BRINGS OUT THE BEST in YOU! 

- Wala ka na ngang hahanapin pa, lahat ng aspeto hindi lang sa pagrereview kundi pati na rin pagdedevelop ng iyong pagkatao, ibibigay sayo sa CBRC! Kaya sa CBRC ka na mag-enrol!

THANK YOU'S NOT ENOUGH

Parang kelan lang, nauntog ako sa microphone habang nagba-bow after my Valedictory Address nung Kinder.

It was trully a long journey:

§  Kindergarden - David Elementary School

§  Grades 1-4 - Sto. Tomas Learning Center (now Sto. Tomas Catholic School)

§  Grades 5-6 - Mangaldan Central School Batch 2003

§  High School (1st-4th Year) - Mangaldan National High School Special Science Class Batch 2007

§  Tertiary (1st-4th Year) - University of Pangasinan PHINMA Education Network Batch 2011

To my Parents, Siblings, Relatives, Teachers and Classroom Advisers, Classroom and Clinical Instructors, Fellow Present and Past UPCNSO (and FCO, SopCO, JCO and SCO) Officers and our Advisers, Classmates, Friends, Best friends, JMK, Archimedianz '07, former Block N, present Blocks L and M, my Mahal and Naro, and all who were with me during this journey, and most especially to You my Creator, I offer my Sincerest and Overwhelming Gratitude to all of you!

Hope to see and work with you again in the next chapter of my life.

This is certainly not a Spam. If you have received a link to this Blog Entry, it only means that this blog is also dedicated to you. Please feel free to add a comment. Again, thanks for all!

I am really proud to be a product of these Schools:

UNIVERSITY OF PANGASINAN PHINMA Education Network. Shows how busy the city of Dagupan is especially during school days. Our batch faced many controversies but in the end we still graduated as we believe that in the end of the day we only have each other and kami-kami lang din naman ang magtutulungan kung may problema. I will continue to live by my Alama Mater's ideals, Patria, Scientia, Virtus!

MANGALDAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. I will never forget how I, myself, was amazed how big the Centennial Building is. Our room during our 4th year in the school isn't shown in this photo.

MANGALDAN I CENTRAL SCHOOL. Though I only spent 2 years in this school, I am really proud to have MCS as my Alma Mater.

SANTO TOMAS CATHOLIC SCHOOL (then SANTO TOMAS LEARNING CENTER AND HIGH SCHOOL). This school made me closer to God. There were times when we held some of our school activities in the St. Thomas Aquinas Church and I could really feel the solemnity of those activities.

DAVID ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I will never forget my Kindergarden year in this school. I became the Valedictorian of my batch then and Daisy's my Salutatorian (?, tama ba?). Daisy later became the Valedictorian of Batch 2003 and I only graduated as an ordinary student (?, haha) of Mangaldan I Central School. We later became classmates and friends again when we entered High School as we both qualified for Special Science Class of Mangaldan National High School. (Ayun, napahaba na ang kwento ko.)
