Just as I said in my last post, I had no semestral break. My 1st semester ended on October 23, the same day our enrollment for the second semester started ^_^. After just 3 days of queuing for the required subjects I am officially enrolled.
I thank the Lord for helping me pass all my subjects last semester. This semester I’m taking up 24 units, five units overload. I pray that the Lord will continue to give me joy in my subjects this semester so I would continue to do good in my studies.

End of classes and more....
The first semester of school year 2008-2009 has ended and yet we will still be going to school come tomorrow and the following days to submit the requirements of some of our subjects. I guess this would mean that most of us IT students would not be having any semestral breaks this year. I took up 21 units this semester and out of that 21, I’ve finished all the requirements for 8 of those, which leaves me 13 more units, or 4 subjects (all of them major ones), of unfinished requirements. Two of those subjects require me, and my groupmates, to create a working database system for a given company. The remaining two, requires me to submit research papers on the Human Resource and on the Information Systems of two different companies. Even though it seems to be a tall order, the situation isn’t really that depressing. My group-mates and I have already finished the two research papers and all that’s needed is for our professor to check it and to give the go signal to bind the research paper into a more presentable form. What really concerns me is the database system for our Database 3 subject. I guess the time frame that was given for the completion of the project was not realistic. I suggest that the projects of programming classes should be given at the beginning of the semester so that the students would have ample time to create the necessary programs.
Out of those 21 units that I took, 7 of those units were for two of the best subjects (HRM and MIS) that I ever had. It’s not because I’m good at those subjects, but probably I was ^_^, it was because of the way the professor handled the subjects. We did not have the conventional style of teaching, blackboard and chalk, instead our professor sent us out to learn not from himself but from real institutions. Our class was not bounded by the four corners of the room. We met online for assignments, spent time with our adopted companies, and met in the classroom only to share and learn from the experiences of others in their respective companies. It was also due to those two subjects that this blog was created. Our professor required each of his students to create their own personal blogs and of course to update it from time to time. ^_^ Thanks to my professor Eng‘r Randy S. Gamboa, this semester has been one of the most enjoyable ones ever, even though a lot of things still have to be done before I could get out of the bushes.
I hope we will meet again in class, sir, just NOT in HRM and MIS. ^_^

WEATHER WEATHER LANG
One of the things I like about Davao is its weather. At any normal day it is hot. For me, hot is good. It is definitely better than cold. It doesn’t normally rain here, that’s fine with me too. But when it does, it POURS. These past few months the rains have been coming in a regular basis which is highly unusual, probably it is an effect of global warming.
Today has been the worst so far. It was only 4 o’clock and yet the skies were dark with rain clouds. When the rains finally hit it was pouring. A lot of people were stranded, the situation reminds me of Manila, where a slight down pour would flood the streets. ^_^ . The streets were clear vehicles, except for the few who braved the waters. The jeep that I was on, was stranded more than three times until the driver finally gave up and made a U turn.
What made the situation even more difficult for me was that I was carrying my CPU. (it was used in one of my projects) I’ll tell you one thing, it is one experience I’m not eager repeat. It took me more than two hours to reach home but at least I reached home without getting the CPU wet.
